It depends on the supplier. A good supplier won't dilute the nic when adding extra flavor. Also, "2x" doesn't necessarily imply you're getting twice the amount of flavoring. Some juice makers on some flavors will only go to like 125% rather than 200%. But however they do it, the nic level should stay the same as they'll use a stronger base per calculations.

Agreed, What supplier are you looking at. I know a lot of them use 15% flavor in their juice 2x can mean 20%, again depends on supplier, because too much flavoring in the juice can actually result in a loss of flavor in the vape

Flavorings only account for about 10%-15% of the volume. Adding 2x the flavor will dilute slightly, but the supplier will have a recipe for 1x and 2x.

I have a number of Lorann flavors at home and I sometimes add some Caramel, English Toffee or Vanilla to commercial juices that need it. Bumping up a juice is just a matter of adding 15 or 20 drops of flavor to a 10ml bottle. Lorann prices are reasonable at $1.40 a dram for most flavors. A dram is enough to bump up several bottles of juice.

It's really not very sweet, but then again I tried it with a brand new XL atomizer that wasn't blown out, or 're-primed', (didn't know you had to do that! :facepalm: ) So that being said, I vaped for an entire night with the most disgusting taste in my mouth. It got so bad, I thought I was going to gag. Since then I haven't wanted to try it again. Thought I'd put it away for now. The idea of mixing it with vanilla or mint sounds good... I just might have to try it!

Cheesecake!!!! Duh! I should have thought of that! I didnt notice the taste with the atomizers that came with my eGo, but I had also ordered cartomizers, and they completely confused me. So I was happy using the the atomizers and carts, and tasting the flavors! However the Xl are huge... so more yucky taste I guess.... lol I am so going to get some cheesecake! Thank you!

Well if you get 2x flavor and intend to vape it like that, it could be flowery (some flavorings exhibit floweriness beyond their normal percentage). And the juice may vape differently if the flavor is water or alcohol based and the flavoring uses a high percentage. In an extreme case you could end up with a juice that is 40% flavoring. if you intend to cut the juice with PG and/or VG then it should be fine. And some will be fine as is - like if it's a flavoring that only need 5%, being 10% won't change the basic vapability of the juice much.

I love double or extra flavoring in my juice, ya gotta be careful because each mixture of liquid has its max with flavoring that ou can add before it destroys the juice mix, but I love to taste my flavors in my vape. I think it is also very subjective, some people like a light flavor some medium and some heavy, I'm on the heavy side of it and love to be able to really taste my flavors in my vape, although it also depends on the flavor, some flavors don't need it at all then again for some it's a must.!!!
