Tpa flavoring question

[Mroutlaw]

I just ordered a bunch of TPA flavorings, pg and vg from Wizard labs. I found out they are around the corner from my house and they are going to let me pick it up.

Their website says the flavoring is super concentrated. They charge a $1.49 for 8 mL. I was wondering if anybody could tell me how much ejuice that 8 mL bottle would make if I make a 1 flavor juice

If you like it at 1% flavoring then 8ml of flavoring would make 800ml of juice.

If you like it at 20% flavoring then 8ml of flavoring would make 40ml of juice.

Since I've seen TPA recipes in that range, I'd say it is somewhere between 40-800ml of juice.


(Note this is like the question heard over a phone to a stranger, "How much will it cost me to replace my windows?", as it is actually impossible to answer without quite a bit more detail. But I didn't want you to think folks here were ignoring you.)

I know it's subjective, I was just wondering how concentrated they are. I've seen people say that some flavor companies are a lot stronger than others.

Again, producer/manufacturer is not applicable. The strongest flavoring producer's stuff I've used has one flavoring that mostly works at 0.5% and another flavoring that doesn't work until it gets over 10%. (That's a pretty large range...)

I put TPA/TFA's stuff in the mid range. Like I noted, some of them work as low as 1% and others as high as 20%. I like a strong flavor, but that's somewhat minor to the idea of calculating out how much flavoring will produce how much juice. If someone was in the "light flavor" camp then it may range from 0.5% to 10% which calculates out to 8ml of flavoring producing anything between 80-1600ml. That just seems like too large of a range to say much about it.

Maybe if you think of tires on a car? The Goodyears that Dodge puts on at the factory may get 20k miles before they show bad treadwear, but that does not mean that all Goodyear tires have a short life span, just that specific model and size. So think of TPA/TFA as Goodyear. Some of the flavors are really strong, some are strong, some are average, some are weaker than average, and some are weak and that goes for nearly any flavoring producer I could name.

I got it, thanks. I only bought 1 bottle of each flavor I ordered so I was curious how far it will take me. Even at 20%, it will go far I see. Now I see the savings. Even if I use 20% flavoring for every juice, its only going to cost me 6 cents per ml.

Also, I know that cinnamon will melt clearos, do you know of any other tpa flavors that will melt them? Someone told me ripe banana will

And blueberry...

That's all I remember. I'm not a carto/tank/clearo person so that stuff generally goes passing through the space between my ears without gaining any purchase.

Marachino Cherry will also.

I buy my flavorings from Wizard Labs as well. So far I've found that Creme de Menthe and Juicy Fruit work for me personally at 20% using an overall (including nicotine base, added VG, flavoring, and koolada) 70PG/30VG ratio. I like enough flavor to really taste it, but not so much that it feels like I'm drinking it straight.


I did, however, mix "Bubble Gum" flavor at 20%...and wasn't a fan of it. I can't tell if it was too much or too little...but it just tasted very strange. Added a drop of liquid Stevia, and it only enhanced the strange taste. That flavor will require more work to make it good for me...

Marachino Cherry will also.

Blueberry and Marachino cherry will melt clearomizers? For realz?

I think you guys mean the "Blueberry Candy" flavor, which contains the Triacetin, which is a plasticizer. Maraschino cherry doesn't even list the ingredients I posted this in the thread you gave me so that they could include it in the list of things that cracks tanks as well as the Cherry Blossom thread.

anything that contains Triacetin is a plasticizer:

The triacetin is applied to the filter as a plasticizer.[4]

The next statement is taken from the wiki about plasticizers, which may or may not include triacetin, but who knows really?

Substantial concerns have been expressed over the safety of some plasticizers, especially because they have been classified as endocrine disruptors.

Here's the source, although I don't think most people would care to read such a long pdf since it's kind of implied already:
