Who has the most "Realistic" Flavors??

Status
Not open for further replies.
I have only been vaping for three months. The hardest part for me was not deciding on a setup, but finding a flavor I truly liked enough to vape for more than an hour. Since I live in a rural area and there isn't much to choose from in the way of Vape shops, I decided to make my own ejuice. Simple enough as far as the chemistry goes but again I'm running in to the same problem "finding good flavors". Lorann is hit and miss as far as their flavors tasting like the real thing. Before I waste any more money on flavors that are awful could you kind folks tell me which flavor manufacturer has the most realistic flavors?

I use mainly Flavor Arts but there are some flavors I prefer from other companies. The nic you use can also have a lot to do with how flavors taste. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/298547-nicotine-comparisons.html

For all things DIY head on over to the DIY ELiquid Forum.

Here are some threads you may like to read through for different flavoring companies. Many of the posts include recipes and comments about a specific flavor.

I've been doing DIY for over a year. I've grown to love Hangsen tobaccos so much that they are all I vape now. Super easy to mix and always taste great.

DIY is a crawl/walk/run process. The keep it simple stupid (KISS) method is the only way to go when starting out. Trying for complex multi-ingredient flavors can become very frustrating very quickly. The goal is to knock down 2-3 simple recipes that you love as soon as possible. Sometimes that means only use 1 main ingredient with a flavor enhancer or 2. Something as simple as a sweetener + a single ingredient can hit a personal home run.

For dessert/bakery flavors, it's hard to go wrong with Capellas. Just one main ingredient and an additive or two and you can have apple pie all day long.

Hi. I DIY and once a month treat myself (when I can) to some "Preimum " juices. If you want to try some really Top Notch Brands go to Craft vapery. Com. They also have a subscription service (which I do indulge in) monthly.They are a bit pricey but for a real treat they are worth it. You can look online anytime at their reviews if you don't want to take my word for it. They are personable and have excellent customer service! If you don't like a flavor, they will make it right. They really aim to please. They have fast shipping as well. You will be able to instantly tell the difference in the quality of their juices. The flavors and mixes are done perfectly and you can taste every single note of flavor! also they are so smooth. with mixes you will get a distinct flavor blend that is a amazing expirence. On inhale you might get one flavor, on exhale another and then a taste of the blend that is total harmony to your taste buds! I don't know how else to describe it. Most juices I've had including blends have just one over powering flavor,and maybe a hint of another. But with these juices it's not uncommon to be able to distinguish several notes of flavor in one blend. I vape 18 mg nicotine and with some juices that can make a harshness to the juice but not with their juices. They are as smooth as ever. If I could afford to solely buy from them I would but like I said, they are a bit pricey but if your looking for a great juice, give them a try! You won't be sorry. I think their blends are excellent. You also can talk to the company and explain what your looking for (realistic flavoring) and they can direct you to the brand they feel will fit your flavor profile best. For about 15 ml it's about 12.00 dollars plus tax. For 30ml it's around 20.00 per bottle plus tax. If you get a subscription you can save a bit. For a Preimum juice company in my opinion, they are one of the best. Hope this helps. Best wishes

Virgin Vapors... especially The Bees Knees. Tastes confoundingly like real honey and beeswax. They use real flavor extracts in all of their creations and even use nicotine extracted from real tobacco plants, instead of nicotine salts. I've tried 13 of their flavors, and they all taste like the real thing. They need quite a bit of steeping, though.

This one uses nicotine salts. I'm pretty sure all liquid nicotine is from the plant.
