There isn't a yes or a no that anyone could in general answer to your question.

Some companies (like One Stop DIY shop here in the US)...carries a line of One Stop Flavors and One Stop Blends...that you DO use singly, to make your eliquid. They have ones like Strawberry Milk, Blue Raz Slush, Baked Cinnamon Roll, Lotta Latte, Oldtyme Rootbeer, and many more. You simply add usually between 4-10% of 1 of those to your own PG, VG, and nic base. They're wonderful, too, when you make them! Many of us on the ECF buy them.

So, if I wanted to make a Baked Cinnamon Roll eliquid...I'd be perfectly happy to use their single flavoring to make it...rather than 5-6 other flavorings combined to make it.

But, no one can tell you if the particular brand of apple pie concentrate (flavoring) you're thinking of using...will have the same great result as OSDIY Shop's Flavors & Blends do.

I'd suggest buying a very small bottle of the single concentrate and trying it first. If it tastes great when you make it...you got your answer! If it doesn't...then find a recipe for Apple Pie, buy the individual flavorings needed to make it (in small sizes), and give IT a shot.

Do you know anywhere I can buy one stop concentrates on the UK?
I don't. But here is a link to their website. You can email them and ask if anyone is acting as a UK distributor. They are extremely friendly and helpful. It has never taken longer than 24 hours for me to receive a reply from them. If they don't have a UK distributor; you might ask what their shipping rates to you are.

I'm sure they only sell through their own website and don't have distributors elsewhere that carry their products. It's a small family operation, with only 4 family members doing everything for the business.

I talk to Kimberly (one of the owners) every now and then. Just had an hour+ great conversation with her yesterday. She's super friendly, helpful, etc., so I'm sure she'll help you out if it's possible.

What you need to do is just go for it and mix up 10 to 15 MLs. Give it a taste and see how it is........ Well it needs a little more of this or that and then you are on your way. Forget all the intricacies and just mix up a batch using some common sense and make 100% sure you calculate the nicotine correctly.

One factor in choosing to use a pre-blended flavoring versus a recipe is future availability. Our all day vape used a flavoring blend that makes mixing it up a breeze but the maker recently closed up shop. I'm stocked up for a long time to come, but will eventually have to start mixing up my own recipe. If you find a good mix of commonly available flavorings now you'll never get caught short.

I have found that no matter how good one of my recipes is I get bored with them after a while and need to change things up. I have only one flavor that is an everyday vape but that is not an all day vape. I switch flavors a minimum of 4 to 5 times a day and some days even more. Today the count is like 7 flavors at present will be 8 or 9 by bedtime!

This thread about sweet dessert flavors made me wonder if Diacetyl and other flavor enhancers are finally out of our flavorings. They are fine if you make a cake or a pie. Your digestive system takes care of it without problems, but heating and inhaling are another thing altogether. Some of our favorite concentrates are dual purpose and not just for DIY juice.
