Placing my first orders for flavoring from several vendors. When I'm at TFA and I see the savings by buying the 4 oz size it just seems hard to resist. I've researched most of the recipes I plan to try and am mostly only buying those flavors, but I am buying multiple fruit flavors that I just want to play with and see how it goes. I have no idea how far 4 oz will go compared to .27 ml from OSDIY, but the math says I'm crazy to buy in smaller quantities. Of course if I don't use it I'm a fool. What makes the most sense to those of you who have experience?
Am I making a mistake?

Just my 
, yes the tfa bulk 4 oz prices are amazing, but, and I mean I big BUT , if you don't like them....that's quite a bit of flavoring....what I did was started with small sizes initially, bull city vapor and wizard labs offer at good prices, ecigexpress ok too; start with small sizes to try out, might even want to try a couple different brands to see what you prefer too, and when you find what you like, order in bulk then....however you decide, good luck and welcome to diy

I buy new Flavors from Wizard labs whenever possible so that I can test them to determine if I like them and to compare them against other brands. I just wished that they carried Flavor Art.
I ordered my tfa and capella stuff from bull city vapor. I got most of them in the 30ml size, that way I'd have enough flavoring to make a couple recipes to see if i like the stuff or not. They have good prices on vg and vapertek nicotine too so i gave them a go.
I wouldn't go any larger then 30ml at first, 10ml isn't that much to play around with and a 30ml bottle is only $4.50.
Best of luck to you on your diy adventure

That's what I am doing, I bought 51 diff flavors and it would be a lot to lose if I don't like many of them. When I find the ones I like, I will be ordering the 4 oz. ones of them
I'd go with the small bottles and sample sizes from various vendors.....some carry FA and others too.
Unless you really have perfected recipes, that 4oz will just last...........forever.
Wasting them would not be *saving* money. $2 or so for some bottles of flavoring is the sweet spot when starting out, IMHO

4 oz for each flavor is a bleep ton of flavoring to start out with. LOL.

Bulk prices are amazing and they will be amazing still long after you buy the sample sizes and determine what works for you. So my advice is buy the sample sizes, find what you like then buy them in bulk.
There are some flavors I've bought in 10ml and regretted... Don't want to do that with 4oz bottles. As was stated, the 4oz sizes will still be there when you figure out the ones you like.
Go with the 8ml - 10ml sizes.That's enough to mix a few batches or to test the flavors before committing to the bulk size. They're also inexpensive so you can stock up on a bunch of flavors & try out a bunch of recipes.
A while back, I compared the pricing of TFA's 1 oz size to 4 of the 8 ml bottles from Wizard Labs. 1 oz ~ 29.5 ml. 4 x 8 ml = 32 ml. It was cheaper, and I got more product, ordering TFA from Wizard Labs. I don't know if the 4 oz holds true, and didn't factor in shipping. Never checked beyond that.
I don't know if the 4 oz holds true, and didn't factor in shipping. Never checked beyond that.Are the any dripper caps suitable with the TFA 4oz size bottles? I'm guessing the 4oz just have a cap, but I really like dripping from the small bottles into a beaker on the scale (so much faster and easier). Would really appreciate any insight..
Google search... 24/400 spout cap apparently fits : )

Am in that same boat with ya! Buying my first round of juices for my first go at DIY and not sure if the small bottles are worth it?! so what I did was ordered the sampler pack from Lorann 10 bottles for $12 to play around with and figure out %'s. Now I just placed an order at FW for flavors that I bought at my local store who mixes them to order. I think I should be able to replicate his flavors pretty closely.
You said you ordered 51 flavors! That should give you PLENTY of mixes to play around with!
Let us know what you find and how it's going!

TFA discontinued the 1 ounce bottles. The 4oz bottles are a better deal than anywhere I've seen, and I spend an ungodly amount of time window shopping online lol.
