Hey guys. If you can help me out here I would be real thankful. Brands are going to be useless to me cause the site I am ordering from may not have that particular flavour in a particular brand but chances are they have the flavour. So. I need to compile a list of around 20 flavours that will get me started. I dont want to waste money cause I am doing this to save lol so if the experts could help me out on some staple flavours I am going to need I would be so thankful. I like creamy vapes. Fruits I like: banana, mango, strawberry, blueberry, watermelon and other suggestions are welcome. I want to make mixes that are creamy and sweet so maybe some desert flavours like cheese cakes, chocolate etc. I would love to make something creamy with honey and also a ry4 and one other tabaco juice thats good for my buddy so suggestions for flavours for those juices please. Finally just any flavours I will need to just round out my mixes like maybe I need some graham cracker to add or marshmellow to round it out or butter etc etc. So whatever you guys think I should get around 20 to get me going would be sweet! I would like to find 4-6 juices I can make constantly that I love so please help me out with a list.

See the problem with that is I cant get certain brands of certain flavours HOWEVER between TFA/Cap/Flavour West/Flavour Art and the other brands I have access to I can pretty much get any flavour so I am just looking for some suggestions on flavourings I can buy and try to make some decent juices.

The problem is that all those brands have their strong and weak points with no way to predict how you'll like them. For example, TFA Vanilla Swirl is a great ice cream type flavor for me but I've seen reviews that don't care for it at all. I'd suggest trying a few of each to see what you like. I'm not much on FW and Cap but others love them.

TFA: Percents are all over the map from wicked strong to barely discernible.
FW Not much experience with this brand so can't help.
Cap. Might be the most consistent but mostly needing higher percents, 14 to 20% not uncommon.
FA. Usually concentrated, percentage 2 to 6%.

Yes I understand everyone likes different things. I am simply asking for SUGGESTIONS on flavors to purchase based on what e juice I currently enjoy vapeing. For instance obviously I would never get a menthol but would I need a lot of baviran cream? You get what I am saying? Just a list of around 20 flavors based on what I currently enjoy. I will get the brand I CAN and research the percentages for said brand. Can someone just please give me a list of some flavors I should start with. Thinking of a large bottle of bavarian cream because I see it in quite a few juices I like the looks of but after that I dont really know what to get.

Can you share what site are you ordering from? That way it could be easier to suggest you some flavors.

Sure. Diyejuice.com. Its out of Canada. Im sure I could get it cheaper state side but im going with that site. I found some recipes and picked out some flavours but would still love some help. If I spend 2-300 bucks and can make like 3l of juice I would be happy and it seems I will be abel to do that easy AND still have some flavours left. Im going to be doing one thats apparently like Grandmaster I have a Milk and Honey recipe I am going to try as well as a cereal and a few tabaccoesque flavours. I pay to much for juice currently. Sometimes up to $200 a month on juice and thats 4 120ml bottles so even if I drop $300 bucks as long as I can make 3+ L of juice I dont care if I use all my flavouring I will have juice for around 6 months so I would have saved about 900$ then I will do it again. The savings are fantastic and I think as long as I follow the recipes it cant be to hard right?

Honestly, if you are looking to mostly make recipes you find at first, I would start out just getting what you need for a few of those. By default you are going to end up with a lot of other possibilities by mixing those flavorings in different ways. I would be cautious about getting a crap ton of flavors at first until you kind of get the hang of mixing and find out if it's for you and what you like. Also, it almost sounds as if you plan to make large quantities all at once? If I'm not misunderstanding, I would HIGHLY recommend you start with small amounts till you find out if the recipe you are using is a good one or not. There are some real duds out there. One 10 mL bottle of say, FA flavoring, goes a very long way and you'll have plenty to play with.

For me, I guess some of my must haves are vanilla custard..but I only buy capella for this because I've discovered it's the one I like best..FA fresh cream, brown sugar, graham, marshmallow, caramel candy, a variety of other plain vanillas, several other creams..As you can see, answering this question isn't as easy as it seems.

I know there a registerd supplier. Was part of the reason I choose them. And im not making large batches till I know my recipes are sound then I am going to make a 240 bottle or two of the recipes I like. I dont want to have to make and steep juice all the time and I vape a good ammount of juice so yes once I got a recipe I like I want a lot on hand. I only plan and like a few flavors. And yes thats what I have decided to do. Buy the flavoring for the 4 recipes I want to do then ill have other combos like you said. But like a 10ml bottle if the juice calls for 10% wouldnt even make a 120ml bottle which is why I am going with 30 ml bottles and a few flavorings that are called for in higher % I got 60ml. If the flavorings make me 2000ml or more of good juice I would be pleased. Got 3800ml of VG and 120ml of 100mg nic. I like 1.5-4mg so thats enough nic for a lot of juice.

It's best to start off small when you first start mixing a new recipe, rather than trying to make 30ml right off the bat. I generally do 3-10ml starter batches. That way, if it needs tweaking, I'm not wasting a ton of ingredients. And, if you really flub things up, dumping 3ml is a lot better than dumping 30ml. ;)

I think I see what you mean. That site has a good selection of brands but too few flavors in each one. I'm just guessing at this, but I'd say the Bakers flavors and the Concentrates (Chinese alcohol based) are the same as some of the Vaping Zone flavors so you might be able to pick up some reviews by searching those threads.

Maybe if you made a list and posted 'Anyone have experience with any of these flavors' ??? Might be worth a shot.

Again as I have said lol I will be making 10ml batch to start and then if its good doing a big batch. Im following recipes and not extremely pickey though so I think I will be fine.

Haven't had much success with Caramel butterscotch and chocolate. I personally really like Capella and tfa. I don't really do many fruits but Capella makes a great strawberry and I like their mango. Tobacco is still a mystery to me most have tasted terrible. And when you figure out your recipe mix it extremely well and break down into 60ml bottles. They steep faster versus a 120 or larger.
