The CCW Chocolate is nice and smooth, It developes over a good 5 days in to a nice rich chocolate taste. It blends so well with other flavours, without dominating or obliterating them..... The problem is trying to leave your mix alone that long to steep  |

VG base Nic, allows you to make higher VG/PG ratios as nearly all flavourings are PG based. I use mainly VG, but PG for when I need to make stealth jucies or dryer tasting juice as PG is not as sweet as VG.
If you use PG you may want to add just a tad of sweetener to bring it back.
But if you can get the Ratios of PG/VG that you want OK, either will do.

I think I should have read the flavouring thread before using ccw cream. Yes it is a very strong flavour, and one that requires very gentle mixing with other flavours.... But, it is a good one to have and use when you want to add a creamy flavour to something like coffee or a fruit. Just go steady with it.... start off a lot lower than you would think.  |

I can only comment on how I do it and what I use.
All my juices have 0% alcohol apart from when I make Vodka and Lime. All concentrates are Propylene Glycol, not alcohol based.
Three out of about 100 different flavour concentrates I use have been manufactured using Ethanol or alcohol as the solvent to extract the flavour, but then the solvent is evaporated or distilled off and the flavour is then carried by using Propylene Glycol. 0% Alcohol remains.
However, If you use, for example a supermarket vanilla essence or other flavours, it may well contain alcohol. As may any number of cakes and patisseries or sweets you buy that are shop made…. But, after processing the shop cakes etc, will contain such minute and residual quantities that a spectrometer would have trouble detecting it, let alone your taste buds.
Thinning, if needed, is done by distilled or de-ionised water, but usually in the adjustment of PG/VG ratios.
Home users / mixers, can use Vodka to thin, and get a increased TH from it. Commercially, it is not viable.

How much did you order?
I have had larger orders 2ltr and 5ltr delayed by customs, but smaller 1ltr orders just seem to miss them.
Customs can add a few days to a week delay (and may incur a fee).

Hi Frogster just a quick one , Can I add some sweetner to any of my old jucies , I want to know how much to add to 10ml bottles and what effect will it do to the flavour, Thanks Kind Sir. Hi John, Yes you can add some sweetener, the small ammounts you will be adding won't change depth of flavours or anything too much at all, I would say 2 or 3 drops per 10ml to start with should change the sweetness. |

Cheers Frogster, got delivery today One question : Do these samplers have to steep for a week too ? They were made fresh, but they have had a few days, so no harm in giving them a try, if you think they still need more time, then I would leave them with the caps off, in a darkish, warmish, place for about another 4 or 5 days to steep some more. |

Agreed, my dual wick running at 1.1ohm has to be permanently plumbed in to a 56 gallon drum. Darn..... Now..... Where am I gonna get empty 56 Gallon drums for my Liquorice Tobacco? I think the postage will need to go up on those items as well |

I have not seen a Christmas pudding pre made concentrate, but with the right ingredients it should be feasible to make. I would suggest you could use:- a cake/pudding flavour like Graham Cracker or Cake type base mix, maybe even a drop of pie crust a ready mixed fruit flavour if you can find one (sultanas, raisins, currants) or make some from separates apple cherry orange lemon almond brown sugar (sweetener) brandy flavouring Not an easy one…. I have the CCW Christmas Cake, but is very marzipan, it would not be suitable in my opinion for a pudding, but good for a base for a crimbo cake but needs other flavours added (I have already gone down that path). |
