I just wish I was on commission...

Now, don’t blame me guys & gals….. I am trying to save people money, and help them get their own perfect vape….

It can cost a bit to get everything set up to start, but you will reap the rewards as time goes on… especially if the lovely government of ours starts to Tax e-cig products. You will all be one step ahead of the game.

So, while we are at it here is another not so known tip… Some flavours are what are termed as dry on the mouth, and need sweetening up a bit, you can use caramels etc, but this also changes flavour, and not what you always want, especially when using delicate fruits or tobaccos.

Lots of producers use a product called “Ethyl Maltol Crystals”, but it is very difficult to find in stock in the UK…. A better and totally natural product is something called “Stevia leaf extract” it is available in either powder or liquid form and is claimed to be up to 1000 times sweeter than sugar, so a little goes a very long way.

It does not “taint” your liquids with that artificial sweetener taste, and it is recommended for use as a sweetener for diabetics, as it has no effect on blood sugars.

Like everything you pay for quality, and the very best stuff comes from Paraguay. You can source it in the UK, but beware of “cut down” products and immitations.

Here is a link to where I buy mine…. If anyone is interested….

Hi Frogster, Thanks for that link, There was only 2 left so i thought i better have one before the croud got on and snapped it up! If as you say (a little goe's a long way i would be willing to let a couple of members have some of mine if they are desperate, God Willing. #shoppingm2#

If you got the powder, you can disolve a little in 10ml of PG, warm it in the microwave for a few seconds to help it disolve, shake, shake and shake some more.... it will give you a very sweet liquid sweetener that you can add by drop to your juice where required.

It is very sweet.... use just a drop at a time to start with, till you know how sweet it is, more than a drop may be too much in some juice, if you want more sweetness just another drop at a time, till you get it right.... you are gonna have to work out what is best for you and your liquids.

The Cookie/Pastry bases I've used have been from TPA direct:

shop.perfumersapprentice.com/p-6649-graham-cracker-flavor.aspx

shop.perfumersapprentice.com/p-7317-pie-crust-flavor.aspx

That was before I discovered Ecigexpress, who have an amazing, mind boggling range of flavourings . . . plus their shipping is considerably less than TPA's.

Got my nic from nicvapes today, my VG from Froggies link and PG from Perps link, will be all set in a week or two

Dave-I checked the prices and nicvape are half the price of anyone else I found and the code given on here augustsale still works.

[azzie]

Are you guys sure that these flavourings dont have anything in them that we vapers shouldnt vape?

I dont want to put a dampner on people`s mixing attempts, but there seems little info and I dont want people to get sick.

[Perpetua]

Which flavours are those Azzie . . . the Cupcake ones?

They do say " No artificial flavourings, no alcohol, gluten free, suitable for vegans all ingredients conform to EEC legislation " . . . I'm thinking you're concerned about Diacetyl possibly?

I just went and had a look.... out of curiosity, to see how much 50mg nic base was….

Blooming heck Sandra, you have done it to me now….. I just purchased ½ Litre of 50mg VG Nic base (on sale – discounted already) and some Graham Cracker concentrate…. Applied the “Augustsale” code and it discounted everything some more….. All for £34.35 inc Post & Packing…. Now that is cheap!!!

As you say about 50% of the cheapest in the UK.

Thanks (I think)

I checked out the contents Azzie..... Definatley No Diacetyl

All good safe stuff, and PG based, I always obtain the MDSS data sheets before I use anything like this, this is identical to the Cupcake World one for the coconut flavour (can't find that one on my system to upload, may be on a different computer) but this one is exactly the same.



Even the plastic bottles the concentrate is bottled in, is to food industry grade standard... as per the spec
