    best brands

    An approach which has worked best for many is to find a couple of recipes which appeal to one's taste rather than buying a single vendors flavorings at (more or less) random. Once you have chosen recipes, but flavors from one of the better vendors which has multiple brands and is known to...

    Question about UN/NONFLAVORED e-liquid PG/VG

    In the beginning, I vaped flavor and lots of it. Quit smoking, though so goooooal! The strong, cloying flavorings in commercial liquids caused me to seek a respite in the form of unflavored. I chose Max VG as I enjoyed the natural sweetness of the base. I ended up vaping unflavored nic liquid...

    DIY surprise

    Hi, sofarsogood. There are other choices at FT in that particular product. Regarding CAPS Cappuccino, I read one experienced vapor and talented mixologist say that while it tastes nothing like the coffee drink for which it's named, that it is nonetheless a very tasty vape. Do you concur? I just...

    What's your best diy juice recipe

    You'll get as many different answers as there are varied tastes. My favorite (currently) is 18% FA SoHo with 2% FA Meringue but this is subject to change. Like tomorrow. <Note to FA users: Yeah, this is an inordinately high percentage but SoHo is not as potent as the rest of the line although...

    Sweetener Question

    TFA Cotton Candy is EM, and it's a 10% dilution in PG. So, yep! :)

    List of the best e-liquid concentrate manufacturers.

    Popular flavoring brands include: Flavour Art Capella's Inawera Flavor West Hangsen You'll hear some mention of LorAnns but it is arguably inferior and certainly less potent than thos above in most cases. One notable exception is the LA cream Cheese Frosting as no other brand makes that...

    I need help with flavour concentrate %'s

    Chances are you won't really know, and it will vary from flavor to flavor. Actually, I believe you meant to say from manufacturer to manufacturer. I can't think of an example otherwise. Most brands (they don't make the flavorings in most cases) are PG. A fewer number are PG-based and some are...

    Bad Nic?

    Incorrectly labeled nicotine liquid is the more remote possibility. Distributing such a product would be (an=nd has been) a bkacj mark for the vendor. They are meticulous about checking such an elemental and critical part of the business as sending out the correct percentages. More likely is a...

    Capella's Vanilla Custard - A DIY Newbie's Bestest Friend!

    Thank you, sir! I was just about to invest in a jug o' this stuff. Since I'm sitting on 240 ml bottle of Caps VC (I'm OK with custard notes), I think I shan't! I have done so several times as I like it a lot although I add a coupla other flavorings as well; it's still in the experimental...

    The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

    As this is a TPA thread, I'm hesitant to interject a different brand but if you us FA Dark Bean (Coffee Espresso) as your base you will have no bitterness. While I do enjoy coffee vapes, those that I've mixed in this fashion are delectable. Best to all!

    Favorite tobacco flavoring discussion - Tobacco flavoring discussion only

    Congratulations, Vicman, Yeah,I was one if the lucky ones as well. I quit a smoking habit of over 40 tears in a week. Two days is remarkable and I'm sure it will inspire others.

    vaperstek nic

    VapersTek will have the TH nic liquid back in stock soon. In my experience, it's of much higher quality that that of MFS and if it'll ease the pain a little, think of it as $37 shipped. I'll be in for another. :)

    FW Cotton Candy a substitute sweetener

    You certainly may providing it contains nothing that would qualify as an e0liquid ingredient, f'rinstance, PG, VG (often listed as glycerin), alcohol or water. Often 'mega-mart' flavorings have other ingredients, buffers, filers or preservatives. Other than the aforementioned liquids, the only...

    Where can I find high quality ingredients?

    You asked for high quality and I'd have to agree that VapersTek hits that mark. I've tried a few (OK, many) and it is the best I've found, even over truly high-dime choices such as Xtreme. Yes, there are cheaper choices. Nude and particularly MFS are more 'peppery' but you will have to sacrifice...

    TFA cheese cake graham crust

    What the heck, I'll give it a go. I have used this combined with CAPS VC and FA Cinnamon Ceylon for a tasty custard vape. It is versatile and combines well with many bakery recipes, particularly those with vanilla and/or coconut nuances. I consider it to be a Graham Cracker flavor rather than...

    It's not to late for you, StirredStill. Get out, save yourself while you can! I jest, of course, but you'll find DIY will lure you with the promise of saving you money over buying liquids, then dazzle you with delicious sounding recipes (that actually are so) and myriad flavorings that sound...

    Favorite tobacco flavoring discussion - Tobacco flavoring discussion only

    While I have yet to try the SC variety, the FA Maxx Blend is a soft, sweet, mild tobacco. The Honey-Caramel taste allows use in sweet coffee, bakery and even candy concoctions. It's definitely the sweetest of all the FA tobaccos.

    The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

    Hmmm ... I still wonder about the TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust as a flavoring. When I use it in a CAPS VC recipe with FA Cinnamon Ceylon, it tastes like Graham Cracker-Cinnamon flavored Custard without any cheesecake nuance.
