Vaping Zone Super Concentrated Flavors

[sketchness]

I bought a few different flavors and splurged on Super Concentrated Vanilla Sponge Cake and a Super Concentrated Sweet Vanilla. I made a bavarian cream 80/20 vg mix @ 4mg that was excellent to me. added a single drop of the vanilla spongecake and it was awful. Am I the only one who doesn't care for this flavor? I thought it was the mix so I did a drop in a ml of vg, yuck. added another ml of vg and still yuck. I get this weird chemical taste. Even the stuff I have had steeping for a week has the same taste. yes I know a week is a very short steep time. But it seems that after a week it should some hint of flavor I would like.

I have read many good things about these Super concentrated flavors and really want to like them. I love the Bavarian Cream, Cream ( I add 2 drops to 5ml of nicoticket gravity= Unbelievably delicious), and the cotton candy is ridiculously sweet but tasty. these last three are not the super concentrated type. Just curious others opinions before I try a different super concentrated flavor.

If you're referring to the Gourmet Vanilla Sponge Cake flavoring, that stuff is very very strong and I suspect you may have used too much. Even at one drop in 10ml was too much for me and using with another flavoring would probably over power it at that %. You might try making it as a single flavor first and then add that to your mixes.

 

[sketchness]

AZ Plumber you are correct. So just to make sure I have this straight. 1 drop in say 15 ml (or more) and then use that sparingly if I want to add it to something else. similar to how you use Acetyl Pyrazine?

I haven't used that specific flavor, but I have used others in the line and love them. The super concentrate/gourmet SC flavors recommend percentage is 1-2.5% maybe just a little more. You said you tried making 1ml, I put that in a eliquid calculator at 2.5%, flavor amount was .03ml (when I clicked the drops button to show the recipe in drops it came to 0 drops)

For 15ml at 2.5% flavor amount is .38ml, according to the calculator 8 drops, I'd use less then add until you get the flavor to your liking. Hope that helps, but personally speaking, I would be very careful and use this sparingly if you're going to measure with drops just because they can vary.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the SC line is actually baker flavors out of russia. They are very very strong, but excellent when mixed right.

Must be careful using drops they are a poor unit of measure. Most calculators default to 20 drops per ml but the alcohol based flavoring are closer to 48-50 drops per ml. Even the PG based flavors are many more per ml than the 20 drop default.

Maybe try putting 1 drop in 5mls PG and use that as the flavoring concentrate. So 1 ml would = 1/5th of a drop.

Yes. The Gourmet line from VZ is ridiculously strong. I use the drop method from the bottle it comes with it with no issues. It may not be super precise but it works and it's simple. If you want to use percentages, start less than a percent. I use the 1ml syringes for flavoring measurements.

 

[sketchness]

Just to clarify. I don't generaly use drops as a unit of measure. I use a syringe. I have 1ml, 3ml, 10ml, and 20ml with assorted blunt tip needles. Was just experimenting, trying to figure out this flavor. I am sure along the way I will run into a number of flavors that I just don't like. This might be one of them.

Danny I did just that last night. 1 drop in 5ml of pg.

 

[sketchness]

And thanks everyone for responding it is appreciated.

I use 0.5% for the vanilla spongecake. I have to add a cream to it to soften the vanilla.

 

[williebb123]

i have not tried that flavor but i do use around 20 of the others in the vz super concentrate line and found most fruits are great right after mixing but for example the watermelon is a horrible chemical taste when mixed but if it sits for 2wks with the cap on and i burp the bottle once a week by the second week its transformed into a great juice and by the 3rd week its some of the best watermelon ive made , so it may just need to sit so it can blossom

The gourmet line is from russia. The other super concentrate flavors I suspect may be flavor express, but cant say for sure as I haven't tried flavor express. If you compare the lines though, there are many that match or have name changed but same flavor, as well as having similar percentage suggestions, 1-3%.

Can anyone conform this info?

I was just going to type something like this. That's close to what I had to do with Perique Black from FA.
