I'm stalking you!!!!!! :lol:

jk

I started with some LorAnn flavorings and some Capella flavorings. I started reading through the TFA thread and now have a kaboodle load of TFA flavors. I've never used Inawara, but some swear by them.

I think you may come to find that you like certain flavorings by one manufacturer and different flavors by other manufacturers. It's all *YOUR* taste. I would suggest smaller sizes with which to start, until you figure out what you like.

Keep an eye for flavors that are WATER soluble. Those tend to work better than oil-based flavorings.

Pssst - get a couple more posts in and hit the DIY threads!!!!!

ha the only two posts i've put up so far you've replied to. My local vape shop uses Flavor West and for some reason it just tastes low quality to me. Wondering if you've used Flavor West or if you've used the Lorann's cheesecake because i've heard it's really good?

I have a huge collection of the flavors above -- and I do use them occasionally -- but my top 5 are all from NIC vendors who also sell their concentrates -- check out Nude Nicotine -- they have some really tastey stuff -- my personal fav is their BRY4 and the watermelon mint with a dash extra sweet watermelon is just killer, its okay straight with their mix too -- I just like fruit more than mint.

Another good thing about nude nicotine is that they give you a break with their sampler deal -- get 5 flavors to try at a time in the same shipment as your top quality base and PG/VG :) good luck -- and build / buy an electronic stirrer -- its totally worth it no more shaking the bottles and a few minutes on the mixer and it doesn't need to steep much... or at all depending on the flavour

I had never even heard of an electric stirrer. I'll check that stuff out. Thank you:)

Ahh my bad -- I think the correct name is "Magnetic stirrer" but there is electricity ! ;) hahaha
Here is a vid of a guy building one -- I did thing a bit different -- I used a couple hard drive magnets attached to a fan -- printed an enclosure -- and made a PWM ciruit with a AVR/Arduino to control the speed -- but you can control speed with just a Potentiometer too

I used the LorAnn NY Cheesecake, and it is very good. I have TFA cheesecake now - haven't done much with it yet
