Her wintergreen is to die for. I like it better than Loranns. I will have to order a big one next time. Also I got a sample of watermelon before it went up for sale and it is delicious too.

I couldn't get my blueberry cheesecake to turn out, guess I need a recipe using her flavors.

Has anyone ordered her sweetner? I am curious if it is sweeter than Tasty Vapor, and ethyl maltol.

Love her lime too.:D

I'm on my 4th PA flavor recipe for Blueberry/Cheesecake/Gramcracker and I might have it right now. In the past I had used too much Blueberry.

I used all PA flavors to a Cheesecake recipe I found. It may have been on Dan's calculator.

65% Cheesecake
5% Blueberry
30% Grahamcracker
15 % Flavor selected

I also used Dan's calculator recipe for Apple Pie and used her Green Apple in it and it rocks!! 10% flavor.

I was shooting for 20% flavors in all my recipes at first because I like strong flavors but realized they are too strong at that amount.

:)

Thanks, but I bought just about every flavor they make. That's why when some of my bottles had regular caps instead of dropper caps I wanted them to send me the right ones. I explained that the larger tall, skinny bottles are hard to work with if they don't have the dropper caps, but ... oh wellll. I guess she wasn't willing to send me the right caps for those bottles.

LOL Aren't we spoiled!!?? hehe I have an extra madvapes flashlight I would be willing to send you. :)

GoodDog,

I sent Linda an e-mail and told her of your situation. She called me within a half hour. She had no idea that you wanted droppers in place of the caps and must have missed your mail or whatever and didn't even remember the issue as being an issue.

Nevertheless, she is going to take care of your problem via PM to you today. She said she gets 20-30 calls or mails a day and something caused your problem to slip though the cracks. In fact, because of yours and other complaints of droppers leaking on the 15ml size she purchased droppers that are guarenteed not to leak and that costs her more but she ate the cost.

Other general info that Linda told me:

She very much wants our feedback on what we think of her flavors too. She said that she thinks that the Maple tastes more like an extract and because of that she's working on a better varity.

What do you guys think of the strength of the Blueberry? She said that she had got feedback that it wasn't strong enough but I told her that is was plenty strong and had had to back off the amount I was using in the Blueberry I posted about above. She said what she might do is to make a stronger version and make both available. Whatever you think post it here but also mail her and tell her.

She will be selling 4ml bottles with droppers that can't be used for shipping for those of us that want some extra bottles and droppers. I had asked previously for those to be made available.

I don't want you guys think that I have some realtionship with Linda other than as a customer either. I'm just another customer that has sent her feedback and asked questions like everyone else. She contacted me as quickly as she did because she cares about her customers and because she didn't remember who it was I was talking about with the problem and didn't know how to contact them. I like Linda as a vendor and and as a person and since she doesn't post on the forums or read them I let her know when someone has a problem that I think she needs to know about. Anyone can do that.

Linda has gone to pretty great lengths to help some of her customers when needed and is always looking for suggestions to improve her site and her products. She cares deeply - and has said so - about what we think of her efforts so you can count on her very best.

:)

I use a syringe to transfer all my flavours into 3ml squeeze bottles. I have come to find that these are constant at 22 drops/ml, same as my syringe, and droppers.

Maybe you can help me figure out how to know how many drops are are dispensed by these items. How do you go about doing it? I thought of dropping drops into a 1ml syringe but I don't know exactly what to do to not get stuff on my hands trying to do it. I too have some 3ml bottles. Any suggestions?

Thanks Switched!

:)

Oh...thats mean:evil:.......Well...whats taking so long?:p

Ok, tried 2 different strength's.. started at 10% and then did 20% ( I like my stuff STRONG!)
I really really like it. It's a pale yellow color compared to LorAnn's which is darker. The taste is much cleaner and more pronounced and doesn't have the alcohol backlash that Lorann's stuff tend's to have.
I love it, I will get some of it when it's ready to ship ♥:thumbs:

I used a 3ml syringe positioned above a bottle, and counted the amount of drops it took to go from 1ml to 2ml. I used between 1 and 2 because I wanted between the graduations not a compensation for the taper that exists at the bottom of the syringe prior to the 1ml graduation. (if that makes sense).

My graduated stopper at the 1ml mark delivered 22 drops to the syringe. 3ml bottles did the same. So regardless what I use I know that the drops from each device are equal, with the exception of the syringe, which I didn't test because I do not use it to count drops and, if a syringe isn't accurate, we are in a pile of doodoo aren't we LOL.

Thanks MacDiver. Wow, I must have been in a bad mood that day and just wanted something to complain about. :oops: Linda contacted me and I agree, she really does care and wants everyone to be happy. :) She's going to send me the dropper caps to replace my other caps and explained about the problem.

I think I'll tend to use them more often because it was too much of a hassle trying to measure the right amount - since I'm use to the size of the dropper drops and the syringe drops are smaller.

Well if you like butter you need FlavorArts...its just like movie theatre butter...compared to Loranns, Loranns would be margarine.

Hey Red, You can use either the liquid EM or the crystals. I buy the crystals. This thread gives you great info about making it.

Let me know how you like her waffles! I am on a French Toast/Waffle kick for my evening vape :D

I intended this weekend to be a mixing frenzy, but just didn't manage to find the time! I'll let you know about the waffle when I try a batch.

That one's on my list to get next then. Lorann's Butter is kinda weak to me, usually end up mixing it with the Capella's which is pretty good. So a good strong one will be awesome :thumbs:

:thumb:Just got my order today from Linda.

15ml of Blueberry
Cappuccino
Peach
Plum
Marshmallow
Apple
Almond Ameretto

4ml of Black Cherry
Hazelnut Praline
Orange
Carmel Candy

80ml of Ethyl Maltol

So far I've tried the Apple, Blueberry, Cappuccino and Orange in a premade base of 24mg nic/VG/Distilled water. (Nic juice is from Levy)

:thumb:Apple started with 40drops nic:4 drops apple. Then doubled the recipe and added 2 drops of EM. Tastes just like a tree ripened apple.

:thumb: Orange - very strong. 50 drops nic: 4 drops orange. Good flavor.
Added 2 drops of EM. Again, tastes like a tree ripened orange.

:thumb: Blueberry. Started with 40 drops nic : 4 drops Blueberry. Just a hint of blueberry flavor. Increased to 8 drops of Blueberry and 2 drops of EM. Soooo good.

:thumb::thumb: Cappuccino. 2 thumbs up because of all the different coffee flavors I've tried, this is the only one that hits it right on. 40 drops of nic : 5 drops of Cappuccino. Later added 2 drops of EM. It actually tastes like I'm drinking a Cappuccino.

I just can't get over the flavors so far. They are spot on. I've tried so many different flavorings from different sources: LorAnn's, Doublers, Tasty Puff, Nature's Flavorings, et all. IMHO, PA has them all beat hands down.

Excellent flavors and super customer service to boot!!:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:
