what are a few other flavors/vendors would you recommend? what do you typically vape? fruit flavors, candy flavors, coffee flavors?
I'm mainly a bakery, candy and coffee vaper. When it comes to fruit, I stick with orange, blueberry, pomegranate and coconut for the most part. Most flavors from Hangsen are really good, although I don't much care for their cream flavors. They tend to come off as stronger and on the lines of TFA's sweet cream, which I don't much care for. It has this "taste" that just doesn't work for me.
Almost everything that FlavourArt has is good. It's really hard to get a bad flavor from there and if you do, it's probably because you just don't like that flavor in general. The only flavors that I've not liked are Dark Vapure, a tobacco, as it tastes like grass & hay to me (it's the perique in the flavoring - I never liked perique tobacco when I smoked, so I didn't really expect to like the flavor, but I gave it a shot), their custard as it's an italian type custard (meaning it has citrus notes present - if you've tried Capella VC, it's absolutely *nothing* like it) and their RY4. It has what I consider "sharp" notes and it's not as smooth as RY4 Double from TFA.
Inawera is good and strong. You'll use them by the drop and typically, most of their flavors don't need more than 6-10 drops per 10ml. You can essentially double the flavor by moving from 10 drops to 12-14 drops
Capella is also good, but they do come off a little on the chemical side until they age. That smooths out after 2-3 weeks.
