Searching for STRONG Vanilla e-juice

[jmvallee]

My first ecig was a Greensmoke (big mistake) but I bought some vanilla cartomizers from a vendor at the mall and fell in love with the smell & taste.

Now I have a 510 and am still searching for the equivilent after a month.
My taste buds must be shot (lol) after all the years of menthol analogs.

I've tried JC French Vanilla, and VaporPro Vanilla and neither have strong enough flavor.

I even tried adding some Capella French Vanilla and some Lorann Bavarian Creme (supposed to be vanilla per website) but no luck. (no - not at the same time of course lol)

When I open a bottle of flavored juice, I expect it to SMELL like the flavor at least.

I am now vaping a homemade mint/menthol that is:
8 drps 48mg
5 drps VG
2 drps homemade menthol (3 parts menthol crystals-7 parts PG)
4 drps Lorann Creme de Menthe

juice is slightly tinted green and smells and smells/tastes like a breath mint!
That's how strong I like my flavors!

Sooo, can any recommend a vanilla that would be equally as flavorful?

I just received Vanilla from Totally Wicked. Might work for you - its pre-mixed.

Bump - still looking for vanilla lovers' opinions... please

I'll be watching for responses too. I've been looking for a good vanilla and can't find it.

Vanilla is one hard good e-liquid to find. Member Sun Vaporer has been seraching for so long. He made a thread on here. Finally he made his own vanilla. It tooks months to make it. Anyway one vanilla that I think is pretty good is e-smokey treats vanilla.

Even it is not perfect, but better than others.

Here is a link to Sun Vaporer vanilla thread. It is quite long.

Thanks, Rejoice, I remember reading that thread. I'll give esmokytreats a try. I'm just not very good at DIY. I'm made a few that I like but most are just nasty.

I just finished reading alll the way thru it....

Distilling all info, I think I will try vanillin crystals and some clear Wilton Fake Vanilla extract (I just bought)... the Wilton's smells great but we'll see how it vapes.

I'll post when I know.

I already tried vanilla beans - not willing to wait 3 months lol.
Ground them up in a coffee grinder expresso setting and steeped them in VG like tea. Looked like a good idea in my head but in actuality -AWFUL!!!

Tried adding 1/3 wilton clear artificial vanilla to 2/3 Nhaler Vanilla (24mg)
Not great but is smooth - no TH.

My vanillin crystals will be here tomorrow.

This website: Vanillin | Chemical Compounds Summary
says it dissolves in glycerol (aka glycerin).

I'm hoping I can use it like I do menthol crystals.

I will try it with unflavored nic and adding it to the vanilla I already have and keep you posted.

Try ecigsmokestore.com or even just call Dawn there and ask her for some input. That store has some of the strongest flavors available.

jmvallee, let us know how that Vanillin-based liquid works out. [If it's not sweet enough, try adding some LorAnn's cotton candy. I've read that it is great for that purpose.]

I just got some Vanillin crystals from Perfumer's Apprentice (your source?). Only thing I've done with it so far is as part of a rescue of some godawful-tasting tobacco absolute-based liquid. Since that rescue also included menthol, caramel, and *clove*, I don't know what the mixed Vanillin crystals taste like.

Thank you for being one of the brave and the few who blaze the trail for the rest of us! [If I ever come up with any unique concoction that tastes any better/different that the premixed, I'll join your illustrious ranks and share it with the ECF crowd (on the DIY subforum).

My favorite vanilla by far, so far is Capella's French Vanilla drops.... for DIY. You must be careful though because it's not thick and a lot must be used for a strong vanilla. I've too often made mine to watery.

I'll be waiting on everyone's thoughts on the vanillin crystals!

I second this. e smokey treats has amazing vanilla its really good. the only down side is its like 13 bucks for 15 mls, I consider anything close to 1$ a ML a ripoff. I am currently searching for a good vanilla thats more reasonably priced.

I have vanilla from mist stick on the way, I will report back on how that is

they charge 9 bucks for 30 mls

I did try some vanillin crystal dssolved in PG - no go. Tried adding cotton candy as well. Still not stong enough for me.

Now I have another idea. Since vanilla smells good but is not sweet until you add a sweetner, I ordered some sucralose powder on ebay. 1/4 oz is supposed to equal to 10 lbs of sugar and dissolves easily. Sucralose is an ingredient in Splenda. The Splenda itself (powders and liquids) has other ingredients I'm not sure are suitable for vaping.

I'm going to try a TINY TINY pinch in 5ml just to see. I really want some buttercream frosting flavor haha.

If this works, I'll try it with my cherry, raspberry, watermelon etc.

if you are not adverse to "cartomizers" the best / strongest vanilla i have ever had was from the KR808D-1 cartomizers that Drew sells at nHaler.com

 

[Porphy]

Going to rescind this endorsement. I received her vanilla e-juice and it's has super strong vanilla odor but the taste is quite low. I've noticed this issue with every vanilla flavor thus far. Is this an issue with how vanilla flavoring/extract reacts with pg/vg/nicotine?

Note: this is the only flavor that acted like this that I have recieved from her. I'm not beyond ordering it again just to be sure it wasn't a "fluke" bottle.

Try ecigsmokestore.com or even just call Dawn there and ask her for some input. That store has some of the strongest flavors available.

 

[phillofdfuture]

how is the vanilla from dawns? anyone kno? pm me thx

 

[BulletTooth]

I just ordered some French Vanilla from Dawn. I'll report my opinion of the flavor as soon as I try it.
