Are the concentrates we use the same as the name brand juice makers use?

submitted over 8 years ago by eggcream

Wondering if big name juice companies use flavors from FW, TPA, etc.. just in bulk.

Yup. Same ones. One of the "tricks" companies use though is that they use a good amount of sweetener quite often.

Most juice companies yes, they use the same stuff we use. Some of them work with independent flavoring manufactures to create custom flavorings.

Most do. some have had their own flavors developed or they use smaller flavoring companies too. Same for all the B&M shops sometimes they like to stick to a certain brand more. like the popular shops around me use a lot of CAP stuff solely

Some e-liquid manufacturers have gone out of business and released their recipes. They seem to use the same concentrates available to the DIY community.

Example: Charlie Noble PB Cerial

Your assumption is correct. There are no real secrets hidden in their juices. It's made the same way, as mentioned most tend to use alot of sweetner.

Note that CAP has alot of bigger juice brands locked down offering them Bulk deals to exclusively use their stuff but that don't mean alot of flavors weren't developed with others such as TFA, FW etc.

For the most part, yup. Some companies do have proprietary flavorings made for their eliquids, and some are straight up developed from the ground up. But most eliquids you buy are made of flavoring concentrates we all know and love, and of course, tons of sucralose.

....and a shit ton of flavoring. I've bought commercial juice before that I've cut 50/50 with VG and still had plenty of flavor.
