PLEASE ..... settle this debate..

[willsgirlie]

Me & my husband are disagreeing.... he has it in his mind that people HATE Lorann flavors, he said he read it all over.... totally opposite of the impression I got.. so PLEASE vote and let us know.

I totally do not know how to start a poll, I see the option at the bottom to start one but I don't see where to type..

so anyways please let me know! sorry to post all over the forum, but I just have to know!!! He doesn't want me to buy any lol

 

[willsgirlie]

thanks for the votes yall

 

[Gee]

Your husband has some apologized yet ?

I'm partially afraid to use them because of possible oils and/or sugars and additives, that and menthol crystals still hit the spot for me so I'm not really looking for anything else yet. Probably will eventually though, but I need to compare Lorann's with Bickford's before making any decisions. No vote here since I have never used Lorann's.

All I can say is if Jimmy cracks corn and no one really cared there wouldn't be a song about it

hahah not yet, he is working now. He was like appalled I wanted to use Loranns.. the only thing I can think is that he may have mixed it up with something else because he read SO much that first day we heard about e-cigs.....

 

[MrKrinkle]

The general rule of thumb is simple... when using any flavors DIY style make sure they are water soluble... DO NOT USE OIL BASED FLAVORINGS... sugars are another thing to avoid as they may be Atomizer Cloggers... and last but not least although not proven but is subject to debate colorings in some cases may be harmful to atomizers... but I love my Coffee & Keoke coffee flavors and they are very very dark in color and thus far have not been an issue to my atomizers... keep in mind I am an avid 510 user and will forever be... but thems my 2 cents..

 

[willsgirlie]

Well maybe he read about an oil based one that somebody had bad experience with or something.. I gotta give him benefit of the doubt He didn't have time before work to go looking for what he read before, I believe he read something but he didn't believe me that people DO like Loranns !!

Oh, and thanks everybody for telling me about the oil thing, I still haven't read anything about that and I would be ordering probably ones with oil in them later.. so my atty thanks you

 

[willsgirlie]

so I guess all the others are ... about the oil based ones? anybody care to share another reason?

 

[Walrus]

Even though Lorann's refers to their flavorings as "Candy Oils" it's a misnomer. Most of them do not contain any oil at all. Stay away from the ones that actually have the word 'oil' in the flavor name. Also, you can check the ingredients of any particular flavor by clicking on the Item Details. I don't think any of them contain sugar, however Caramel coloring uses sugar as a base. Ironically, the Caramel flavoring doesn't use Caramel coloring.

When looking at the Item Details, check for soluability. If it's not soluble in water, it probably has oil in it.

I have seen people badmouth some of the stronger LorAnn flavors because they can be overpowering. An example is Bavarian Creme. It is great as a blended in very small proportions.

There are other flavors that are very weak and must be used in much higher proportions.

One of my favorite juices of all is one I make using LorAnn Cheesecake. It is a wonderful vanilla-ish flavor. The flavoring is controllable enough to make an intense "desert" vape, or a milder one good for all day.

LorAnn offers very small (1 dram) bottles that are very inexpensive, and there are lists here of the "safe" flavors. You can order a dozen or so and experiment away, with out crying over the ones you discard.

Whatever else it is, it's great fun! Order a bunch and dive in...

Lorann is good IMO---but after you vape it for 8 months or so---it just wears on you and I found myself going back to a more qusi--tobacco taste--the sweet can really grow old after you vape for many months. I have not used any Lorann now for the last 2 months at all and I truley do not miss them. I did really enjoy them though for the first 6 months-------------Sun

 

[chief druid]

i'll settle it ... waaaaa i win !!!!!

 

[willsgirlie]

please forgive my dumbness on the subject of mixing, but I saw that it has PG in it... sooooooo does this mean I just add drops to unflavored e juice? the vids I saw online were much more steps.. I'm just confused.. there's obviously many ways to mix.

Yep- Most people cut down unflavored liquid with Glycerin while adding flavor...

if you had 36mg unflavored and wanted 18mg grape, you would mix about

50% unflavored
45% Glycerin
5% Grape flavoring
