Mtbakervapor has them at $2.99 for 15 ml. Better deal assuming the concentration is the same.
Just got my first FW flavors. Blackberry,Blackberry Brandy,Chai Tea and Teaberry. Any reviews,mixing %?
Great idea gtseng. After being at this quite some time I have found that I like Flavor West alot not every single flavor but many of them have proven useful. For anybody looking for combo flavors that you may have tried and liked of their juice company's vapor renu's juice or mtbakervaper they do offer the combo flavors in smaller sizes at diyjuice.com---same company smaller samples.
Since this has allready be rehashed and verified---vapor renu, diyjuice.com and Flavorwest are all the same people originating from the same address and there is no difference in strengths if you buy it directly from them.
Subscribing and right off the bat I will say I like Ecto, Gummy Bears, Swedish Fish, Caramel Candy, Butterscotch and Red Pop in their single flavors and vape them alot sometimes tweaked with other flavors. The other drink flavors like Red Bull and the Root Beers are pretty good too once you get your magic percentage down pat and do a good steep. I use their cotton candy as my EM solution all the time too.
Just mixed up two of their combos the other nite Smores and Caramel Mochacinno I think it is and will report back on those after they steep. I bought at least 8 of the combos.

Wow, I never went above 10% with any I've tried so far. I'd suggest starting at 5% and working up. 20% start could be too much and actually reducing the flavor.
I mixed my 4 flavors at 10% to start. What steeping time is recommended?
Wow I was so excited about diyjuice as you mentioned until I got there and saw the prices. 2.75 for 7.5 ml? Ouch. Strange when they sell 4 oz for 6.78 on their site. That would be what, 44 bucks for the 4 oz at diyjuice. Too bad they weren't more reasonable.
So it's not just me! Whenever I've seen someone posting about a Flavor West mix (or any other) at 25-30%, I've sat here dumbfounded, wondering how vaping that doesn't make them retch. I've got 76 different flavourings in my vape pantry (representing 4 different brands), and I've never found it necessary to mix any one of them above 16 percent!
Here in Canada (from my "go to" supplier), I pay $4.49 for 10ml of flavour, which is almost $0.10 more per milliliter than the price you quoted. It's certainly still cheaper than buying ready-to-vape juice from anybody, and I make my peace with it that way.
I'm not saying its expensive when comparing to ready made juice. I am not even saying its expensive in general terms. Really was commenting on the discrepancy between their regular site and that site. If they are run by the same people, I don't see why the big difference. I didn't really want to buy 4oz, but would love say, 30 ml. That's all I meant by that.
Now after that, I did check out Vapor Renu which has the combos for something like 6.50 for 30ml. Perfect!
I have FW concentrates from MBV: root beer, cinnamon roll, spearmint, cotton candy, and extreme ice. As mentioned above, I use the cotton candy as a EM sweetener and it does the job well. I personally love the root beer and don't feel it needs much of a steep. I also don't sweeten it, I like it as is. The mints can go from flavorful to bitter quickly if the percents are too high, so start low. I mixed up a haphazard 0nic cotton candy with extreme ice last night and it's a tasty combo.
Has anyone confirmed if MBV and FW have the diy flavors at the same concentrations?
Yeah not sure James and them would.....but someone might have bought the same flavor base from both and found they match %'s needed. LOL
i'm finding some of the flavor west flavorings i have gotten to be extreamly strong... not sure about the high percentages in some of the post in this thread.
I only have a few, so far here is my list:
cotton candy = at %4 in a %12 mix with blueberry from another vendor... all i cou taste was cotton candy.
lemonade = holly smokes this is strong, made a first batch at %10 lemonde and %5 strawberry. Couldnt event tatse the strawberry and the lemonade was way way way to strong.
sweedish fish = havn't tried it yet
sweetener = not sure about this, %1 seems about right for some mixes. Someone on this forum said they use it at %10, i tried that and almost puked. There's a fine line in this sweetener between having a little extra kick of sweetness, and having a disgusting taste to your juice. If you do to high, it doesn't translate as sweet at that point, just some weird chemical taste.
Needless to say Im rethinking my whole DIY way of mixing... I am now no longer listening to anyone on forums as far as what percentages they use. I'm using a method I read the other day were Im starting with 4ml batches and %2.5 flavoring, then adding small amounts from there until I get to where it needs to be. I'm doing these batches with 50/50 PG/VG premix with no NIC. Once I find the correct percentage for flavorings, then I go back and make a bigger batch with NIC in it and let steep for a week. Do some more taste tests, and then make the first final batch.
Im finding that if something tastes bad, its because theres too much flavoring in it. If theres too little flavoring in something, it doesnt taste bad it just tastes weak.

Hi, Shilo, can you share your % for those FW flavors that you like?
Also, what combo flavor you have tried and like?

I was wondering the same thing, because Ive seen different in prices for flavor west from different vendors.
from One Stop Diy Shop 6ml $1.50
from Flavor West 4ml $6.78
from MBV 15ml $2.95
Im think the cheaper vendors cut there flavors with something

i think youre getting mixed up a little, buying from FW directly is 4oz or about 240ml
