same flavor - different vendors - different color

[vjdossey]

I ordered TFA Grape Candy from two vendors MFS and Wizard Labs. The MFS liquid came with and it was clear red... I got the same brand from Wizard Labs and it came clear and has remained clear... Anyone had this experience?

I contacted MFS when I got my order because my bottles of sweetner and sour were mislabled... They had been reversed. No no biggie, butsince I was contacting them I asked why the grape was red and if it was normal. They said yes... Seems odd to me that a flovoring from one company could look so different!?

TFA makes two Grape flavors:
1. Grape Candy
2. Grape juice
The Flavor Apprentice

I wonder if 1 company sent one of the flavors and the other one sent the other. Unfortunately I haven't tried either so I don't know what color it's supposed to be. Good luck!

Cheers,
Steve

The flavor itself (themselves) are very much the same. I made samples of each and although the red colored one is thinner, flavor is close to identical...

Go over to the purfumers apprentice web site and shoot an email to Linda. Im sure she will be able to tell you. Shes one of the most helpful people Ive ever had the pleasure of speaking with in the vaping world and truly cares about the people who buy their products.

Grape candy is almost totally clear but ever so slightly yellow in the right light, Grape Juice is a darker golden color..

LA Grape in fact looks just like actual Grape Juice. There is no red Grape from anyone so if it's red it's been mixed with something or cross contaminated. I have small 8ml's of Grape Candy from WL and an unused 4oz from OSDIY which taste/smell exactly alike. I would contact them again and tell them you know for certain the coloring is off. If they wont correct the issue write them off and take your biz to someone who can label a bottle properly.

I ordered grape from WL last week and it came to me DARK purple, to the point that I worry it would stain my tanks, even as small percentages. Is the purple even safe to vape??

That's LA Naturals and yes it's fine to vape.

I emailed TPA/TFA Linda and this was her response.
hi,
i'm so sorry, but we have no idea about what any other company is doing with our flavors. we do not have any authorized reseller contracts with any company, but we can't control what customers do with our flavors once they receive them.

according to our specification on grape candy, it can range from colorless to brown. there is no artificial color added to any of our flavors, but colors can vary from the manufacturing process.

thanks! -Linda

So, now what? Guess it should be ok to still use? I had made a 6ml sample and it vaped/tasted fine. However, it did not cost me much, so if I don't use it, its not a major loss...
