Lorann flavourings

[NickIcon]

I've been looking around for flavourings and besides all the usual sources I came across a few suppliers of the Lorann range in the UK which I haven't seen mentioned here before:

• www.swedishconnections.co.uk/essence/31/lorann-oils-super-strength-flavourings (cheapest but lots out of stock)
  
• www.makeawishcakeshop.co.uk/onlineshop/results1.asp?Category=313 (a bit dearer but better selection)
  
• www.thecakedecoratingcompany.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=198_313_571&osCsid=fhkpn54cpaq8dkd7b6e3mmgve5 (a touch dearer again but even better selection)
  

Has anyone used any of the above before?

Yes I have Icon . . . their English Toffee is about the nicest that I've tried, others I've been disappointed with. But then that's true of other concentrate ranges as well.

You just have to watch some of their flavours as they contain actual oil, which you don't want to be inhaling and it's made a little confusing, as they call all their flavourings oils . . . so it pays just to double check the ingredients on the individual flavours.

I've either bought them through ecigexpress or this seller on Ebay.

Yes - the word "oil" is a little confusing. Do you know if there is any way of determining which are suitable for vaping?

I'm guessing the ones which are insoluble in water would contain oil and shouldn't be vaped. Others don't have PG listed in the ingredients so I would imagine these should also be avoided.

Most are labelled as appropriate/inappropriate for use in chocolates and coatings - could this also be a clue to their suitability?

Apologies if this has been covered before and if it is just a case of trial and error then I'll shut up and start buying! :-)

I have a PDF of all the Lorann flavours that show what ones are safe to vape and what are not....... but it must be on my other Computer.... will hunt it out and post it.

It should say on the breakdown of ingredients if they actually contain oils Icon . . . the essential oils are the ones you really need to avoid.

This listing gives some good basic information on the range as a whole . . . .

Thats not the best copy..... I will try to make a better one and repost when I get a mo !

[NickIcon]

Thanks Perp - sounds straightforward enough!

As for you Frogster, I lack the words to express what I'm feeling for you right now... :-)

[Frogster (The Alchemist)]

Not sure if these are better copies or not, had a go at converting the pdf files that I have to images for the board….

Frogster, if it's a better way of sharing that you're after a quick & easy way to do so is to upload your PDF to Google Docs then share the URL. If you have a Google account that is...

Thanks for the heads up..... I think all can see it now, this time it is a bit better quality. Very handy info for the knowledge base if you use Lorann....

If you look on e-bay then a ebay shop called chocolate2live4 nearly always has mixed selections of 24, 36, 50, or sometimes even 100 bottles (you choice as to what flavours you want).

Some times you can get a bargain when bidding, I remember getting a 36x bottle load from them, worked out at less than £1.00 a bottle shipped, luck of the draw on bidding.

You can do a buy now as well, for example, 50 bottles your choice of flavour for £46.00 shipped. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LorAnn-Hard-Candy-Flavoring-Oil-50-Count-You-Pick-The-Flavors-/121002414417?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c2c4e5151

Here is a current offer from them for 50 bottles (current bids are at about £20.00 for 50 bottles shipped - thats 40p per bottle). www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LorAnn-Hard-Candy-Flavoring-Oil-50-Count-You-Pick-The-Flavors-/121005323167?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c2c7ab39f

Just have to keep your eyes open... Oh and shipping for me took 1 week door to door!

Hmmm... Wonder if I can set up a Ebay thingywhatsit to email me when one of those auctions comes up...

[Perpetua]

They have them all the time Nick, if you add the listings to your watched list, then you'll get an email notification in advance of the auctions ending.

Just thought I'd add to this, here's a good link that:
a) gives you an idea of what's "safe" and
b) gives you and idea of percentages of strength.
