I'm about to sample LorAnn's It may be a mistake because I don't hear much about them either. So far, I like both FlavorArt, The Flavor Apprentice and The Perfumers Apprentice. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

no wonder all my experiments haven't gotten me anything decent.....I bought all my flavors for Loranns that are hardly mentioned anywhere here.......guess I have more shopping to do and more recipes to start over !!!!!!!

Wintergreen - Flavor Apprentice
Cantaloupe - Flavourart
Caramel - Flavourart
Cappuccino - Flavourart

I have a thing for flavourart, apparently. If anyone else makes a flavor, I find flavourarts to always be superior. I'm finding a lot of flavors just don't vape worth a damn, though.

Flavourart's cantaloupe tends to kill my cartos quickly, though. I get maybe 4 days of heavy vaping out of a carto before gunk build up leaves it tasting awful. Hypnotic Mist and my Wintergreen can go up to two weeks of heavy vaping without problems, if I keep the carto wet the whole time.

I am looking for a great tobacco flavor and this caught my attention.
Since I am a newb, can you please tell me what FA is.
Thanks!

Both goes well with a little menthol from FA or HC

To me the Maxx Blend tobacco flavoring is nothing more than a fruit blend. I don't get any tobacco flavor from it. :confused:

I recently bought a bottle of Caramel flavoring from Ecigexpress. It is the "Caramel Clear Signature Label" flavor. So far it seems too strong and I will need to get some sweetener for it. Is it normal for Caramel flavorings to need steeping? Thanks for the help.


It might help to know that their signature line is TPA/TFA

Model: SIG-CARAMELCLEAR
Manufactured by: P Apprentice

Here is a mix I use with all TFA flavoring for the Black Honey Tobacco and as a new DYIer I think it came out well. If you heat it in a hot water bath (140 deg.) for 4- 5 Hrs. it seems to decrease the steep time. As I am new yo DYI I am trying to use only one company and when I get some fav mixes then experiment with other companies. And TFA appears to be the best bang for the buck so far.


Green Apple-15%
Black Honey Tobacco-7.5%
Sweetner-1.5%
Ethyl Maltol (pre diluted 10% with PG)-3.75%

RY4 Double-TFA
RY4 Asian-TFA
Bavarian Cream-TFA
Ripe Banana-TFA
Caramel-TFA
Maple Syrup-TFA

I have about thirty other flavors, but these are all great so far.:thumbs:

I have trouble finding flavors that I could enjoy vaping for long periods of time. Out of 50+ flavors from tpa fa fw capellas I like fa flavors the most because the fruit flavors are realistic and not candy like. Here's a list of flavors I enjoy the most

FA lemon Sicily
FA Strawberry
FA Pear - my new fav
FA Apple
FA Orange
FA peppermint
FA cocoa
FA Chocolate

FA fruits tastes great with it without menthol for those like their vapes cool

i wonder if these polls would work better in the form of a questionaire. might generate more participation. they could check a box or fill in a vendor or flavor. would also make tabulation easier. i really like the idea of this. i'm new to DIY and would love to have this kind of information. it wouldnt have to be for a year but an ongoing ever changing list. just my thoughts - john

NO,and dont take it personal Levitas, i've tried all the Strawberries available,, I want to keep this very simple, and only have people post the Best of the Best of Flavors here, and ONLY people that are into DIY and have tried the flavor from numerous flavor manufactures and found THE BEST ! and not for the thread to get cluttered up with a bunch of - I tried this and that,,, ONLY THE BEST FLAVOR AND WHAT MANUFACTURER PLEASE,,,, I want to compile a list of what people think the best flavor is of each flavoring and who manufactures that flavor Please.

In keeping with the above quotes, I have read this thread and tried to collect the "votes". As with any thread, after it gets to many pages its hard to follow who's who and whats what.

EDIT:
I removed the PDF link and changed the Report to make it post-able HERE. This way you can copy and paste whatever you want to VOTE on, OR highlite an entry for modification as well as having a format for votes on NEW flavors.

Here is an example of the report:

If there is enough interest(likes) in this report, I will try to keep it up and post new links for the report. But thinking ahead, if you are voting for a flavor please be brief. "+1 for Watermelon, FA, at 5% " or something like that. Additionally, it would be nice if you could use the "Official" names for the flavors. Any upgrades or comments will be appreciated.

This is not intended to stop the discussions in any way. Just to separate the Votes from the discussions.
