Does anybody know anything about LorAnn Natural oils? I was wondering if these flavored oils could be used to make a nice flavored oil for vaping. I just added a drop of Lemon Oil Natural to a pod I’m vaping and the taste is totally amazing. I’m hesitant to vape it if it’s known to be a serious NO NO!!
I did a search and found nothing on the site. THanks.
If you look into vaping/smoking any type of essential oils, it’s not good for you. There’s definitely worse stuff you could be smoking though. I wouldn’t be surprised if lots of flavored distillate has some percentage of fruit/plant essential oils in it.
I used to use those same oils 5yrs ago before i switched to terps. Most my ppl didnt say anything negative, but i wouldnt use it any more. Most have an ethanol base. Imo, can ignite in a vape pen and cause bad things.
Thank you for the feedback. I found a spreadsheet on the internet showing the different ingredients in each oil. I have no idea where it came from and if its accurate!
I think the trick is therapeutic grade oils, I’ve put a lot of thought into trying some dotera therapy grade oils to flavor carts, some of them smell amazing, there isn’t an alcohol cut and most of them are a huge percentage terpines, some are entirely. It can’t be any worse than vape flavoring…
I’m going to continue to experiment with it as the flavors are amazing. I don’t think that could be any worse than vaping some of the other “mystery solvents” that are on the market today.
One thing I find interesting is I am kind of hesitant to put in a vape cart for disty, but this stuff is used to make e-cigarette vape juice. I guess we will see in 10-20 more years if all the vg/pg/flavoring has been safe to vape or not.
I may be shooting myself in the foot later if it turns out they were safe. Here i been buying expensive terps for my personal carts and have had a huge collection of flavors that I could be mixing up .
For anyone else that has the flavor concentrates… you can make some dope icee syrups. light syrup - 1:1 cups of water to sugar. reduce some by boiling for 5 minutes. let cool to room temp and add between 40-60 drops total of flavoring per condiment sized bottle.
Vapers suck down ml’s a day of flavoring so it probably won’t kill you in low percentage for a cartridge and c8 mct was widely used for a while. Mct based flavorings could be your solution @denverterpene
We’ve been vaping those flavors for 10 years now in nicotine land.
Lorann has only a few that actually taste good in a vape, though. More companies out there making them more specifically for vapers have blends that work better in that aspect.
LORANN oil soluble flavors use a vitamin E carrier. LORANN water soluble flavors do not, but obviously would not work for oil but fine for gummies/candies.
I’d give them a call and just tell them what you’re doing and ask if they have some specific suggestions for you. They’re in michigan, and I know that they’re somewhat friendly to cannabis.
