So if i'm understanding this good. The flavours used with vaping can also be used as a flavour in boillies?

A PG flavour, is a PG flavour Roy. The flavours were around long before vaping ever was. Vaping just means that there are now more high quality human grade food flavourings being imported into the UK than before from all around the world. Obviously to be able to add to a vape mixture, and inhale, it has to be high quality stuff. Not twenty five year old oxidised rubbish that tastes like battery acid. They use the same flavours that we do within fishing, to do that, to make their nicotine mixes from scratch. Just human grade stuff. Made from propylene glycol. I put up a link to the Capella site. They are all the type of flavours that you would see in the supermarket in the baking aisle. Or a bakery wholesalers. You will have experienced these products in foods that you consume before.

Buying from a vape wholesaler you should ensure you only buy pure base flavours. Not a pre made mix for vaping. That will contain other stuff you don't want.

It's just flavour. Same as Monster Crab, or Maple Cream.

Capella are high quality flavours.

Whilst on the subject of flavour house companies. Has anyone had any experience or dealings with Universal Flavours?

No offence intended whatsoever Roy, don't take this the wrong way. I don't know what you ordered mate. I do not want to know either. Someone else's opinion about a dosage level on a fishing bottle of flavour, means absolutely zero anyway. It's only some other persons opinion. They might fish for 5lbers or be absolutely clueless in reality. They just sell fishing gear/bait. That's often the case. I bet you're not clueless at all Roy. You will figure it out when it arrives mate.

It's human nature to question, because you have not seen it yet. You will see when it arrives and know for yourself mate.

It's only flavour. Just good quality human grade gear. It's where fishing flavours all came from in the first place. The food industry. It's been going slightly longer than the carp fishing industry too.

Flavour levels is such a personal thing. Within a normal range I don't think there's a right or wrong answer.

Take two bait gurus
1. John Baker advocates ultra low levels.
2. Frank Warwick pioneered over flavoured pop ups.

Both highly successful anglers over many years.

Some of the levels that I've seen Frank discuss that he's used would stun an elephant. Others put absolutely zero flavouring in and rely solely on ingredients, hydros and essential oils.

I can't say either approach is wrong or right.

I'd imagine that's exactly why fishing ingredient suppliers had to start writing 'not for human consumption' on the bottles of fishing flavourings. So some clueless vape customer don't end up purchasing bottles of out of date Strawberry, or Pineapple/N Butric flavouring that's not for human consumption to add to their vape mixture and inhale

I'd suggest that the JB type flavour levels are for adding to a food bait that is fed and prebaited, so it has a longer working life.

The FW levels are for single hi vis pops as a one off attractor.

Nail on the head. He's confusing two completely different things. Which is exactly why I'm telling Roy to make up his own mind. What's needed to make a cardboard pop up attractive, is not the same as food bait.

It's also specifically why it's time for me to hot foot it back to the SHB thread now. This thread has reminded me why. Can't be certain which of some members profiles I'm speaking to anymore.

It's only some flavours. But they are very HIGH quality for you home rollers.

Frank has mentioned more than once that the high levels of flavour are mainly used in his hookbaits. His feedbaits are normal or low dosed with flavour
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
