That's my problem. Companies should realize that exorbitant shipping costs really bother customers. I'd rather have low shipping costs and pay a bit more for product (as long as it's not blatantly advertised).

BUT- I'm still EXCITED to have this coveted flavors heading into my greedy little hands!

Don't get me started on companies that ONLY offer priority shipping... buy a $2-$6 item and pay $5 for shipping. Most small e-cig orders cost $2 to ship

What is your zip code so i can check the rates?

Someone posted in a different thread that you can get a diluted salt mixture from the pharmacy that suitable for vaping.

I did my research. 1st order came in at $9.50; 2nd order came in at $6.20. This is calculated with USPS Parcel Post Rates according to zone. And yes, I did build in packaging material weight. Thing is, if they were to go with Priority rates, each order would come in at under $6.00.

Now I'm wondering why they would chose the parcel shipping option. In any case, I've gained some insight into the inner working of the United States Postal Service. Ha

Obsessive Researcher (I gotta know!)

Also, I'm pretty sure boxes cost more to ship than bag-style packages. And packing peanuts aren't free apparently. :/

........Stopped there as I already have flavors I don't like/use. I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of them either. Have only tried Sweet Strawberry, Cinnamon Coffee Cake and Vanilla cupcake. Of those, the only one I didn't much care for was the coffee cake and even that wasn't horrible.

I not a fan of having to add so much flavoring, especially if I'm trying to mix with other flavors that are more concentrated. I do like their sweet strawberry (15%) and a few others.

Just got my flavors in the mail... The caramel smells spot on and so do all the others, can't wait to mix them... My first attempt at DIY was with TFA flavors and it almost discouraged me from making my own liquids. Hopefully this time I have better luck because these flavors smell way better

I'm not a huge fan of many TFA flavors either.

Only problems I see with TFA are:
1) they are more complicated to work with
2) Low pricing attracts New DIY'ers like myself that are clueless where to start and/or what to do when it isn't right.

I'm not at the point of blaming TFA for my lack of experience just yet. About 6 weeks in and only 2 real failures. Both were coffee attempts that turned into Baby Powder. Why? Simple lack of knowledge as to reactions between specific flavors.

Think Blueberry is off? Mix with Waffle and see the difference.

Remember, most flavors are made to be used as additives in Baking. Stand alone may take some work.

GOT MY first 5 Capella Flavors in today! 5 day from initial order - acceptable.:)

Well damn, I've got tons of TFA flavors coming haha.. maybe I can trade them if I don't like them!

This is just from my limited experience and may not be correct but it seems that the only way to know for sure which ones you like is to try them. The TFA percentages seems to be all over the place, so start low and add and be patient. What makes it harder is that some of them need steeping time.

I think there's a list of popular percentages if you can find it. Check the TFA thread.
