If you wanted to make 2 flavors that would be universally liked. What would it be?

When I was at Pico Rivera City Council
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ctory-pico-rivera-we-can-make-difference.html

I met Father Jack Kearney
An Ethical Look at Harm Reduction and Electronic Cigarettes - YouTube

I was really impressed with him and his advocacy for E-Cigarettes.

So I decided that I'm going to make him a large batch of e-liquid.

My Favorite Nicotine liquid Supplier [Name begins with W] agreed to donate enough base to make around 2000ml of liquid,
but now I have to choose the flavors.

I want to keep it simple so I was thinking 2 flavors maybe 3 at the maximum.
No complicated recipes please.

The First Flavor I'm very certain of and that is a Peppermint or Mint Flavor.

But I can't figure out the 2nd or possibly 3rd flavors.
So any suggestions would be appreciated.

I was also going to suggest a mint and RY4 (in one of it's many permutations, I prefer RY4 Double) as fairly universal flavors that are easy to mix and don't require a ton of steeping to be vapeable.

If you're going for three different options, why not make the 3rd an easy fruit from Capella's? Strawberry or tangerine stand on their own and again, don't require additives or extended steeping.

By the way I'm going to have to buy a lot of plastic bottle.

Anyone know the cheapest place for Plastic Dropper Bottles?

Newfrog.com if you can wait ~3 weeks for shipping...Just search "10ml plastic dropper bottle" or "5ml/30ml/whatever you need"... ecigexpress.com if you dont mind paying a little more for a US-based retailer. Under "wholesale" tab.

Who are your target vapers?? If they're coming straight from smoking, I'd say menthol and non... which will pretty much cover your bases. What kind of flavorings do you have to choose from? Hangsen makes all of the flavors that come in NJoy e-cigs (from the convenience store) and they're actually pretty damn good. Hangsen RY1 @ 2.5% is the "non menthol" NJoy... and its damn tastey. Plus, @2.5% flavor, a little goes a long way. RTS has 120ml bottles at reasonable prices.

TFA Double RY4 is delicious, but its definitely a pre-mixed RY4... a little nutty, a little sweet, some caramel and vanilla. Great by itself @7.5-15%+

Without a doubt, pear has proven to be the most universally accepted flavor in the group I mix for, both menthol and non-menthol varieties. I use TFA's Pear with a little pineapple thrown in to spice it up, along with some EM and sucralose. Good for beginners and some even say it's reminiscent of a mild cig. Menthol concentrate at 5 or 6% hits the spot for menthol smokers.

Second most liked is either a Kiwi-Strawberry or Strawberry-Banana blend, both easy to make.

Third, for the tobacco lovers, is a blend of TFA DK-Tobacco and M-type (and, with a little Latakia for optional smokey touch), or TFA's RY4-Double or RY4-Asian. These are highly individualistic between people as to preference.

Best of luck, Tomzgreat, as I do all mine as non-profit and try to keep it simple!

You're looking at all TFA flavors and a few Seedman's concentrates from that vendor.

I would also suggest a menthol tobacco, a non-menthol tobacco, and a fruit but not strawberry or cherry. Pear sounds intriguing and now I have to add it to the list!

Tobacco offerings: American Red, m type, tobacco type, 555, Black Honey Tobacco. Tobacco absolute both alc and pg.
Seedmans: commercial, captain black, english, light brand, virginia fire cured.

Which of these brew up to a tasty flavor with or without menthol?

There are too many fruits to list here. . .

If the theme of the charity is a safer way to smoke and it's reaching out to the smokers I would go with a more triditional vape that will appeal to the smoker. I know when I first quit smoking I wanted somthing that was as close to a real cigarette as I could get. SO I would recommend a mix as close to a real cigerette as possible and stay away from anything fruity, candy, creamy.

Maybe an M type, 555 and a menthol.

Some people people are the opposite though. I didn't want anything that might taste like a smoke for a couple of months. And then only because it sounded more caramel than tobacco. And I still pretty much think if I want the taste of a cigaret I'd have a cigaret and be reminded how bad they really taste. It is part of the draw of vaping for me. That it tastes good and yes more often than not sweet.
