Should I Use FlavourArt

[radicalfrog]

As you all know I use ONLY USA made ingredients and supplies! However, with the variety of flavors this company has my "creative mind" just goes into overload and wants to create like a mad scientist! I am a firm believer of keeping it in the USA but I really think I want to try. Anyway I am creating this poll to see what ya'll think.

Question:

With them being out of the country would ya'll mind if I give them a try? (Not looking for suggestions on how I can do it and add to the site. I just want to know if you mind or not.)

Smooches
Ms T

PS FlavourArt would be the only company on my site that is not USA made!

I am all for buying USA, but I feel as long as you don't let buying from other countries over run using products made in the USA I think you should go for it. Happy Creating Ms T.

I agree with Liz Go for it mad scientist!

I appreciate knowing my juice availability is not beholden to customs issues. I think so long as there is a note that the juice contains imported flavoring it would be fine. It would let folks know to stock up when they can as availability may be fickle.
On an personal note, I think Flavour art Tiramisu is divine and cannot wait to see what you do with the other flavors they have

FA is out of Italy, correct? I have no objection to this... I mean, products being made in the USA is nice and all, but I think it's largely more of a health scare/moral obligation people feel towards it. The USA makes all kinds of nasty stuff too in the unregulated industries... (Not that food flavoring is one of them... but the market for nicotine juice largely is...)

I'm kind of getting away from my real point here... (Sorry!) I think that the real objection people have to overseas juices is stuff from places like China where there is absolutely no regulation and no one knows what is going into it... I don't have a problem with any of the first world, european nations, products. They all have a pretty strict standard on what is acceptable in their nations and some are more stringent than the U.S.! (Think England...) I know intellicig is in the UK but prides themselves on having all of their nicotine and flavoring lab analyzed by a third independent party and they display the results as part of their committment to health and safety. (In reality, it's to keep them within the laws of their nation...) [P.s. T, sorry if this mention of intellicig is against the rules in your forum... they are an overseas vendor and I doubt many people would bother with international shipping fees. Delete this part if you see fit, though!]

Sorry, went off on another tangent... My point is that the objection to non-USA goods is largely an issue of health concern. First world, western, european nations all have strict health and safety laws as well, so NO, I have no problem with you using them. (You may put a disclaimer on various juices, though, saying that this juice has a flavor from out of the USA.)

On another note, I'm interested in what you may concoct using these new flavorings!!!

Sorry for the tirade, T. (Sleep time for me, obviously. )

The only thing I would strongly suggest is to be careful and not use those flavors that contain diacetyl. But seriously, I think you should expand to using their non-diacetyl flavors. Just make it clear that you are using the non-diacetyl flavors so others don't freak.

Hello Ms T! As long as you do not change any of the current recipes you already make to contain any of their flavors, than I say go for it! I say this only because changing flavor vendors will most definitely change the taste, and I know it would upset a whole lot of your customers! But if you are looking to expand your already ridiculous number of recipes (HA HA) then I say go for it. Of course, it is hard enough already not to spend major $ on your site trying the 1,000 flavors you already make, but if this would help float your boat! HA HA Seriously though, you do what you feel is right for you, we won't mind. But I do like the suggestion someone else made to mark the new recipes as not being 100% USA made. Maybe just a little note or icon saying "may contain foreign and delicious flavors - mixed 100% in the USA at the hand of a master juice craftswoman" HE HE

Smooches to ya Ms T!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't worry that it's USA made. Nicotine base comes from China anyway. Flavourart is fantastic, but I've heard many of their flavors contain diacetyl. It's still better than smoking...

 

[radicalfrog]

No recipes I currently have will change. I will only bring in new ones.

Smooches

I agree with this notion completely! Keep it diacetyl free, for sure!

 

[AKWolf]

Fine as mentioned above, Flavour Art is listed on MsT's product catalog webpage as flavoring manufacturer.

 

[Manfred1816]

If they do not contain diacetyl or other harmful substances, go for it. Though, I trust you only use top quality ingredients, USA or not.

I encourage putting more tools in the lab of the mad scientist!

This probably won't be the most helpful feedback you'll ever get, but....

When I hire a contractor at work, I don't tell them how I want them to do it, I just tell them what I want to end up with. I'm hiring them because I don't know how to get where I want to end up, otherwise I'd do it myself and save the money. This is kind of the same thing. I wouldn't have the first idea how to make the delicious flavors you sell, that's why I buy them from you. I trust you to use the appropriate tools to get to an end product that will be delicious and satisfying. So if you think these will work, by all means, use them. I trust that you'll sample them before you sell them, and that you won't sell product that doesn't live up to your own high standards.

You're the creator, I wouldn't presume to tell you how to create.

Absolutely true Scott, I am in the IT world and my customers just want me to "handle it." I say, we all know Ms T. has hers and our best interest at heart, so..... no issues here! Keep me not smoking and I'm with you all the way. / By the way thanks for the extras in my last shipment.... The cards will get handed out appropriately as always! More customers for Ms T. means when I'm 95 yrs old and still vaping, you'll still be mixing...
