We get a number of inquiry's on how to get their mixtures with the correct percentages of PG and VG. It seems the majority of vapers who DIY enjoy a bit of VG in their mixtures to give their vape some volume, but working with flavorings, especially multiple flavors, it becomes almost like a complex math equation to figure out how to hit your mark with your PG:VG blend ratio.

Good stuff. Very good options on that one. Still perfecting my formulas, but I've got all the versions saved there.
Hey Kimer....the dropper bottles your flavs come in....do you know how many drops per ml they are?
Keelalagirl sorry about the slow response here, life has thrown me a curveball and I am re-adjusting to deal with some things...
for me its 20 drops per ml, I do believe it is an individual thing as everyones pressure when dropping and speed is different. I would suggest putting two ml in a bottle and counting out the drops to see what you come up with

No problem...I know how that goes....I'm currently out of town for a funeral, so...yeah...life bites ya sometimes.
That is kinda what I thought....but I didn't want to assume that and wasn't sure how to test without using my stock and losing some in the process (if that makes sense....). I appreciate your response and hope all is going better for you.
Aw...your sweet Kimer...thank you.....
Yep...real soon cause I'm about to place yet another order....I love when my orders come in...it's like Christmas and I can play all day......

Hello! I just found your site and I have some questions about the Flavor Apprentice flavors.
Some of the flavors say "extra" - what does that mean?
How concentrated are the flavors, compared to Lorann's? (Would I be using more or less or about the same?)
Except where indicated, are they pretty much flavor + PG? Do some have other ingredients, like coloring?
Are they water-soluble?
I'm excited about some of those flavors, can't wait to try them, but I'm paranoid about what goes into my lungs. Yeah, after 40 years smoking cigs, now I'm paranoid. LOL.
Many thanks!

Hello Seaotter
Extra means they are stronger then normal flavors in this line. It really can depend on the flavor, who is stronger or better with Flavor Apprentice vs Loranns. I always suggest with the non-extra flavors to start at 10% and then test, add a couple drops and retest to find what percentage works for you.
Some flavors are colored, some are also based in ethyl alcohol, for example Menthol Liquid is based as such. None of them are Oil based, all water soluble
Hope that helps

Thanks, this is very helpful. Would it be possible to add an ingredients list on your site? I don't use flavorings with colors added, so this would be a big help for me.
For the Proffesional Flavors, the ingrediant list is here with the company that makes them
Have a question relating to your 30ml dropper bottles. Is it possible to get them with the flip top cap (like the caps on your 30ml flavor bottles) instead of the child proof dropper?
We have this question periodically, and felt it was worth mentioning here.
