Cupcake world?

[drunkenbum]

Just had a look at cupcake world after seeing it mentioned here a couple of times and it seems to be all food flavourings.
I'm new to mixing so not sure what I should and shoudn't be using when it comes to stuff that isn't t-juice, cap of TFA. Is there anything I should be avoiding at cupcake world or are all the flavourings good to use?
Also would it need to mixed stronger or weaker being food flavourings?
Cheers

Avoid the custard it tastes like cat wee.
That was a while back, dont know if they have changed it for better stuff now.

Some are considered not suitable for vaping ( see link )
Also I'm unsure which contain diacetyl or other undesirable diketones such as acetoin and acetyl propionyl, (these are not an issue if ingested but are suspected to cause a potential health risk if inhaled... i.e. vaping it may exceed recommended occupational exposure limits).

In general, if I recall correctly they are weaker than some of the other makes, although often cheaper.

The vast majority of concentrates we use started life as food flavourings drunkenbum - we've just adopted them for our purposes.

I'm a big fan of CCW, although like all ranges there are good, indifferent . . . . and some b awful in there!

As standalones 25% works for me, as they can be on the weaker side of strong, for my tastes. 


If you scroll down the page of available flavours on this link:

www.cupcake-world.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=144_189&products_id=1783

You'll see the concentrates that contain oil and to be avoided are noted, plus there's a summary of them at the bottom of the page.

This was the UNSUITABLE list I received from Alison last year.

I bought a lot of them at the start of my mixing journey (and I still have a lot of them left ) and would agree with earlier comments they are generally VERY weak, some flavours are OK but I would only use them in a recipe, never as a stand alone.
I found their Vanilla, Blueberry and Blackberry to be the only ones I used more than once

The only one I use is Burley Tobacco - it's pretty strong as a mixer (I use around 7% in RY4 type mixes) but around 20% by itself, it's very good value.

I use quite a few of them, i like there blackcurrant, clotted cream fudge and rhubarb and custard is nice, i mix all at 20%

[Perpetua]

Their Butterscotch is one of the nicest ever for my tastes Ryan . . . . 30% with 2% of Cream, again CCW is delicious and very morish.

Their Cappuccino mixed at just 13% is an everyday vape for me with my coffee, I do tend to drop a couple of other things in the tank though like Hazelnut Latte or similar just to give it an edge although it is perfectly acceptable on it's own. Not a strong flavour but has a nice throat hit which is what I want first thing in the morning

I'm vaping CCW butterscotch now after seeing your post Perpetua a month or so ago. When I first started mixing, over 2 years ago, I bought a load of CCW flavours. They have sat in my vape box for a long time untouched and unloved. Wouldn't have thought to use as much as 30% in a mix. Anyway, I made some up on the 11th Sept and have just started vaping it. Sadly, my wife loves it, so she's next to me dripping away, and I've got some in the subtank. The 80ml that I made isn't going to last very long.

The house smells lovely & I will have to buy some more soon

The nuts are pretty good : walnut, pecan, hazelnut, pistachio, almond, peanut.

Delighted you are both loving it reefcat.

I know 30% does sound like a heck of a percentage, but in this instance it just works so very well. Scrumptious flavour.

They are . . . . and quite intense for my tastes, so not much needed to get a good flavour.
