Understanding E-liquid Flavour Enhancers
Welcome to the latest Flavour Hub Blog where we will dive into Flavour enhancers! If you think your favourite e-liquid is good as it is, think again. With the right flavour enhancers, a simple vape can transform into a bold, personalised experience. Whether you crave a touch of sweetness, a tangy twist or an icy hit, flavour enhancers are the secret weapon every DIY mixer needs.
What Are Flavour Enhancers?
Flavour enhancers are concentrated additives that take your e-liquid beyond its base profile. They don’t create a full flavour on their own. Instead, they intensify, balance, and transform your blends, unlocking layers you didn’t know were there. Think of them as the finishing touch that turns good into unforgettable. Want more sweetness? Add a Sweetener to bring a sugary lift. Craving an icy kick in your fruit mix? Super Cool Ice boosts the chill for a refreshing, frost-like sensation.
Types of Flavour Enhancers
Sweeteners
Sweetener is of the most popular flavour enhancers available. Sweetener adds that extra sugary note without overpowering your base. When mixing sweetener into your recipe, a little goes a long way, 0.5% or 1% is usually enough to fulfill and mix. Use sparingly and build up gradually to avoid muting other flavours. Sweeteners pair beautifully with fruits, desserts, and creamy blends.
Add a touch of sweetness to your recipes using Capella's Super Sweet. This flavour concentrate can be mixed on its own at 1-5%, but is most commonly combined with fruit or custard.
Sweetest is Make My Vapes own branded sweetener. Specially designed to add that extra level of sweet to your E-liquid mixing, whilst also being coil friendly!Sweetest is a strong sweetener and is recommended to be mixed as low as 0.5% - 1%.
