I see a lot of folks have trouble with tobacco flavors, so I'm setting those aside for the moment. The exception to that rule is an RY4 recipe that seems to be pretty popular:

That's all for now. I hope to see this in a week or so, but WL is backed up with NIC orders which may delay processing a bit.
Last note: I wanted more plain PG & VG, but the larger sizes were out of stock.
ETA: Tractor Supply had a gallon of PG. As far as I can tell it's flavorless, but leaves a slightly sweet aftertaste.
RiteAid had a small bottle of Glycerin; no flavor notes yet.
50 5ml bottles & 50 10ml plastic bottles purchased from Ebay

Wow wow wow! :toast: Don't get overwhelmed by favor choices. Don't do what I did and start mixing left and right. It's amazing how one flavor can ruin the whole mix after it steeps for a day or two. I recommend that you get some 7 or 10 mil bottles and make flavors in tiny tiny batches or even just try each on their own at first. After all said and done, you will have only a handful of flavors that you may like.
I do it to save $$$ plain and simple, and I do. But stores have some magical secrets they aren't sharing. Don't settle for bad DIY mixes, but at the same time don't expect easy, tasty flavors to grace your pallet at a huge savings. I wish you luck. You made some good choices IMO.

I'm not preaching, just testifyin.:) You obviously know a lot already. I hope I didn't offend you. This post is for those who read your blog , and know little.

Hi Aflatoxin! No offense taken :).
I'm a newb and I know it; I'm just good at making it sound like I know what I'm doing :laugh:

I've done a lot of research and tried to pick flavors that would work well together, no matter what combination I used. I have also picked up a nice, basic selection of fruit flavors from Capella's and will add those to the list shortly. Restraint will be tough with all of those choices, but I do plan on starting out with single flavor samples to learn my percentages. The exception to that rule will be a couple of tried-and-true recipies I've pulled from the forum. Folks report good to great success with them, and they should be easy enough to mix if my math and measuring skills are up to par.
