We have recently received a number of queries about the ingredients of the flavour concentrates which we sell. We are provided with information by the manufacturers, and the form that information takes varies for each manufacturer. Below is the information provided to us by each manufacturer.
Pope & Brewer’s Gourmet Flavours & The Flavour Concentrate Company
In both cases, these flavour concentrates are made in the UK specially for use in e-liquid. They are all artificial flavours for commercial reasons. None of these flavours contain any sweetners.
None of these concentrates contain Diacetyl, Acetyl Propionyl, terpenes, oils, lipid, essential oils or any other substance classified as a respiratory irritant. In addition, none of these flavour concentrates contain added colour.
