To date my own experimentation has involved the use of F'art, DV, LorAnn, Cloud 9 and Asda Rum. I am however looking forward to trying flavourings from TPA and Flavour West in the near future.

As I mention in my post on mixing not all flavourings are equal, that's not to say that one vendors flavourings are better than anothers, It just means that there are good flavours and there are not so good flavours from all vendors.

It's all trial and error when looking for a good flavour, for example, as I mention in my post, in my search for chocolate flavourings I found only 3 out of 6 that I tried that resembled chocolate, and one of those is more like cocoa.

Also I found that although a particular brand of chocolate went well in one recipe it did'nt suit another and so I had to use a different chocolate for that.

My only frustration is not being able to find decent White Rum and Dark Rum flavourings, for Dark Rum I was very happy with LorAnn Butter Rum but you ca'nt get it anymore outside of the US, also they wo'nt ship it due it having a high flash point. For a White Rum Flavouring, as I've mentioned, I use Asda Rum flavouring, not by choice but because there is'nt anything else available.

So you really do have to experiment with flavourings from different vendors untill you find what is best for you. It's also worth mentioning that as taste is subjective what one person finds to be a good flavouring from a particular vendor may not suit someone else.

I got some on Dave K and Dave Hi Fi's recomendation to add to a couple of pre-made juices I had that were pretty rank. The stuff is very strong and I only put 1 drop in 5ml of each of the rank juices and they were totally transformed.

I hav'nt made it up as a juice to vape on its own yet though, but will get round to it.

I am a little concerned about some folk who have made the decision to try supermarket flavourings and so felt compelled to offer the following :

These flavourings are considerably weaker than than the ones associated with vaping i.e. F'art, LorAnn, DV, TPA, etc....

In my experience they also tend to lose their flavour in mixes quite quickly.

And finally can in most cases be quite harsh.

I would not recommend these for use myself. However, having said that I do use Asda Rum flavouring myself, but that is only because I can't find any decent Rum flavourings from the normal supliers.

So try at your own risk.

You should give my Whiskey Cream recipe a go, that should put a smile on your face.

Yes LorAnn flavourings do come in what's known as Dram sizes, which is just over 3ml. I only use a few LorAnn flavourings myself, but I would'nt agree that they are weak, or at least not the ones I use anyway.

Skylla when you say "you can use food flavourings" I take it that your refering to Supermarket flavourings.

If so I'd just like to mention that all of the flavour vendors i.e. LorAnn, TPA, FF (faeries finest), etc where originally intended for foods. As far as I know only Flavourart brought out their flavouring range aimed at the e-cig market, although I'm not sure about the Decadent Vapours range from TW.
