Hi everyone, I recently purchased a 1dram bottle of LorAnn Cherry and immediatley used it all on 2 x 10ml mixes (making them around 18% flavour). I wanted to put less in but read in these forums that this super concentrated flavouring isn't exactly super so I stuck with my usual 20% (not enough in the bottle to get to this figure). With nicotine and VG/PG, those two mixes have become rather expensive. Too expensive even. I then clicked on the sticky for vendors and noticed an ebay link to LorAnn oils 4oz, but it seems these aren't the super concentrated stuff. Does anybody know the difference between the super concentrated and the ones below? www.thecakedecoratingcompany.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=198_313_620Or what about the natural flavourings? www.thecakedecoratingcompany.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=198_313_624I have to get my costs down, but I really like the LorAnn cherry

Interesting - £14 delivered for approx 120ml natural cherry here - but is it the same as the dinky bottle one? Mind you, if you're using it at the same strength as other flavourings, does it really matter in terms of economy?

Thanks for the replies mike weaver93 Thanks for the link. 28vapeslater is cheaper than I had purchased it for but I'm looking to buy in larger quantity really. I think it was Perpetua who mentioned that the smaller bottles are no more concentrated than others (in answer to someone who wanted to know how much to put in) so that's where the confusion is. Super-Shiny That's the link I followed and how I become unstuck lol. Jen That's what I tried linking to Jen. The cakedecoratingcompany has 3 types, super concentrated, normal and natural. Thus my query on whether the normal and natural flavourings were just/nearly as good as their super concentrated. It's a big price difference isn't it?

That's a good find kurotoshiro. Can you please let me know if they are indeed 4oz?

Kuro has answered it all for me Scs . . . and yes, you should receive exactly the same strength concentrate in the 4oz bottle as it's from the same range as the 1 dram pictured. I always have with the Lorann's I've bought from US Ebay Sellers.

Yep, that's what i've been told too. The naturals are weaker but made of natural ingredients but the other 4oz or 1 oz bottles are the super strength. In fact i'm going to be stocking the 1oz bottles in the near future, the naturals and the super strengths. I'm surprised at the 20% needed though, many people have told me that they've only needed to use as little as 2% and only as much as 10% with some flavours. I guess some flavours are weaker then others?

Great news Carrie (or is it Cassie?! I've forgotten! Argh! Don't hate me!) Some flavours might be OK at 10%, primarily the fruits in my experience, but not the bakery/dessert types. English Toffee, Pralines & Cream and Peanut Butter were all weak as hell at 10% Apricot, OTOH, just lovely at 10% with the same added in menthol

Well, here's an update: I ordered on the 20th May, and it shipped today. Honest question: Is it just me, or does 11 days seem like a ludicrous amount of time to get something in the post? (I admit, I don't use ebay much, nor buy much stuff from international vendors, so for all I know this could be common.)
