I recently bought a sample pack of flavors from a site called Flavor Concentrates......and was wondering if any one has tried them and if they are worth even trying.....after much reading I have never noticed them being mentioned...any help or comment would be appreciated....and sorry if this is posted in the wrong place.....Thanks!....I am extremely green to all this.

My guess is they are rebranded concentrates. Probably FW or TFA. Compare some of the labeling to those brands. For example both have lucky charms flavoring but called different names for FW and TFA. Not a sure fire way but may help.

Just ordered the sample pack you mentioned.....Yeah, they have not gotten a lot of discussion on the forums, but don't let that dissuade you from experimenting with them.....Sometimes going off the beaten path is a worthwhile thing....I can't wait to experiment with them.....I researched and found some people who do use them and corresponded with them.....They love them........ I am gonna start with Standalone mixes to begin......then when I learn them, will be able to create blends.......Not sure what kind of devices you are vaping with so cannot recommend what flavor percentages for you to start with....I am mixing for small Aspire like and Kanger Pro-Tanks.....With less surface area of wicking/small coils, I am gonna start out at about 10% and adjust up/down accordingly.......Smaller coil/wicking setups typically require higher flavor %s......then adjust my %s for my RTAs........RTAs will require lower %s, but I will get there after I get pleasing results for my smaller devices.....It is reported that these flavors are unique in that they do not contain the volatile components that artificial flavorings have..... Your PG/VG ratio will also have some influence on what flavor %s to use, as well...... Check out ECF....E cigarette forums......there is some talk about FlavorConcentrates.com flavorings....Just do a search and you will find them.....

@cass OK man, just got mine today and mixed 4 small 12ml batches.......Here is what we need to find out for your mixing and share with me the info I mention and we can get you going........ 1.....what kind of devices (battery and atomizer/coil type) are you vaping on?.....dripping into sub-ohm RDAs or vaping out of a tank, and what kind of tank?......2.......cloud chasing or flavor chasing?........3 Nicotine mg/ml level?.....4 ......bold flavor or light flavor ( kinda like the difference between drinking a Miller Lite and a full bodied Guinness Stout) ? .......5.......What flavor percentages % have you tried?......and PG/VG ratio ?....and are you using a calculation program like EjuiceMeUp....?.....6......Did you steep your finished liquids, and if so, for how long?....This information will help us find a suitable PG/VG ratio, which is extremely important in determining flavor concentrate %s.......Here's what I did tonite (but I would still like to hear your reply from these 6 points)........I am mixing at 40/60 PG/VG......I am designing my blend to be suitable for the Aspire type tanks with the small coil inserts at the bottom (BVC)........ I will then adjust my blends for my RTAs tanks Goblin Mini and LemoDrop based on my achieved flavor sampling in the smaller tanks......Percentage of flavoring for equipment varies mainly due to surface area differences of the atomizers I just mentioned.....and the type of flavor I prefer (bold), along with PG/VG ratio I plan to vape with......all based on the type of vaping experience I want...... I won't reveal my flavor % yet because I don't want to influence your thought process in some of these subjective questions.....Also, the way I deal with my mixes AFTER making them is very important (to me, at least) in achieving the type of vape experience I seek........Feel free to get back on this at your earliest convenience........

First I am making flavors for other people....I dont vape....I was a 4 pack a day smoker and quit back in "79.....I tried vaping but all I did was cough my head off so I didnt start.....right now I have 4-5 people who vape for me and give me feed back.....they have both tanks and RDAs....I am looking for flavor.....I purchased about $350.00 worth of FA and got the $59.00 FC sample pack....I have been able to make 3-4 acceptable vapes using FA but the FC just doesnt seem to work even if I sub 1 FA flavor with FC in a recipe.....so thats where I stand....after playing with this for a while and reading and reading I need to order a few 100 dollars worth of other flavors to make a lot of the recipes work.....so this is where I am at but this to me is a lot of fun......BTW I am 62.....LOL.....I make all my recipes 80/20 with 3 Nic.....I count my flavors and nic as a PG % znd add the balance in PG to get to the 20% point then add 80% VG.....most I try to let sit 2 weeks before anyone trys it...since I dont vape I am not tempted to try it sooner....LOL....all samples are 10 mL so counting % is easy.....I measure by volume using 1 CC syringes broken down into .01% for my flavoring and larger syringes for the PG&VG.....BTW CC and mL are equal volume measures.....

Might be better in the future to stick with the normal brands used around here like CAP, TFa, FA, FW, Hangsen, DIYFS, VZ-SC, Bakers, FE.
As we can all probably help you a bit better, if you need help, that is.
Good luck, and welcome to the adventure...

cass.....What flavor percentages are you using on the mixes of FlavorConcentrates that are not working out?
Here's one thats ok in a tank but doesn't pop....and in an RDA its bland it's....10 mL 80/20 3 Nic.....I would just like a good kind of in your face Peach.....Im thinking I need another brand to help it pop....? I dont care about shake and vape as much as having it be good in 30+ days after its made.....long term....
3.5% FA White peach
5% FA Peach
1% FA Cumber
as far as FC goes I use the same % to start....but they tasted funny....at least that was the feed back I got.....

I thought you were inquiring about the flavors from FlavorConcentrations.com on this thread........
I haven't had any luck with FA peach either. I found it overwhelming even at low %. I'm hope someone with more experience weighs in
Peach was extremely difficult for me. I went as low as .1%. Still overwhelming. But we all take different routes, getting to the same place.
FA White Peach .5%
FA Banana .5%
FA Kiwi .5%
Equal Peach, for me.
Your results may vary. But I only taste the Peach at these %. And it no longer taste like I'm vaping chemicals.

FA Peach 2% + White Peach 1% + 1% FA Apricot.
Get rid of the Cucumber
Apricot also works wonders with Strawberry I've found. It actually enhances the Strawberry taste for me.
