Perfumers Apprentice

[Anne (fuzzy)]

I bought some blueberry flavouring form Liberty Flights PA brand and can't believe how weak it is.
I was also surprised to see it had 'food flavour' on the bottle. Food flavour is nowhere near as strong as e liquid flavouring.
Has anyone else had this problem with PA flavourings?

Wish I'd ordered some from HC now.

I had 5 tobacco flavours delivered today from LF, 3 F'ART, 1 PA all labeled concetrated food flavouring, 1 was DV labeled for use in e liquid. I've checked my other F'ART from LF and they are also labeled as concentrated food flavourings even the tobacco ones. Dave

I've always found TPA's flavourings to be quite intense must admit Anne, although I haven't tried their Blueberry.

Even Capella, which I rate highly are labelled as Food Flavourings . . . what % of flavouring are you using?

I made blueberry pie using this and all it tasted of was pie crust, it smells of blueberry but tastes of absolutely nothing. I'm glad I'm not the only one, I thought my taste buds had given in on me.

I just used about 10 drops at first Perpy as flavourings are normally so strong, but ended up using the whole 10ml bottle in 50ml of juice and it only slightly tastes of blueberry.

The smell's gorgeous, I agree, shame about the zero taste.

Ive not tried the normal Blueberry from PA but I have an order for the Blueberry Extra from ecigwizard..they have some other flavours that LF dont stock, its supposed to be stronger. I`ll let you know what its like.

I do find PA's flavours are pretty weak unfortunately. Try starting around 20%, you may even have to go up to 30% on some.

[Perpetua]

That's what I normally mix all flavours at tbh Pixie . . . 20-30%, probably why TPA seem quite flavoursome to me.

10 drops of anything in 50ml, I wouldn't taste a thing Anne.

I'm a bit of a virgin as far as mixing is concerned, and all the reading up on the subject has pointed me at 5-10%.

I bought a load of PA from LF and have found 10% to be very weak and watery, so have biffed it up to 20% and am still finding them to be quite weak.

I'll do a batch on Saturday of all my flavours at 30% and will see how I get on.

If my new ones from HC have turned up, I'll give them a go as well.



On a related note, can anyone tell me what should I use to test very small quantities of my juice, as I'm currently having to use my tanks, and am having to use loads of juice to get them wet?

I've heard of dripping onto atomisers, but have no idea of what sort of atomisers are suitable for this, and whether one would be suitable for different flavours, or would I need a separate one for each flavour?

These are a good cheap way to test flavours

Great stuff, thanks.

*** Newbie Question Alert ***

What will I actually drip the juice onto, as I can't see the non-battery connector end from the pic?

Secondly, what's the difference between your link and this one www.vapeescape.co.uk/510%2Dstandard%2Dresistance%2Datomiser%7E9


Just when I think I'm getting my head around the products...

You attach the drip tip to the attomiser then just drip a few drops into it and vape

No reason you can't use the one you linked too

I watched a great tutorial video about this but sorry i can't find it at the moment perhaps someone else can?

Maybe I could have phrased my question better.

Will I be dripping onto some wadding, a wick or just a coil of wire? I've never seen one of these direct-drip boys in real life.

I'm glad I can use the other one as it'll save me adding to the ridiculous amount of drip tips I bought yesterday.

Ace, I'll have a read.
