How you finding the Honey tobacco. I mixed up some with Tobacco Absolute and it's one of those that is going to have to 'mature' a bit. Similar to DK Tab it has very potent aroma. The taste is good, but the aroma is a bit much.
its the seedmans honey tobacco flavor. i like it but i believe it needs to steep a bit. i will be making more flavors soon.
Welcome to ECF and the wonderful world of DIY juice-making! First suggestion, try not to do what I did, ordering a bunch of flavorings without any idea what you plan to do with 'em. (I'll probably get around to using them one o' these days, but still...). Good sources for flavors, etc: DIY Flavors - One Stop DIY Shop Store and: Capella Flavor Drops - Over 50+ Water Soluble Concentrated Flavorings There are many others I am sure. If you haven't already, check out the DIY guide(s) a block or two below the "Beginners' Forum" here in the Forum index... lots of good info there. Also, here's a "mixing station" that looks good: DIY E-Liquid (E-Juice) Mixing Station! I haven't tried that one yet but I've been using the free downloadable "e-juice me up!" calculator. Can't find the link but you should be able to Google it with no problem. Good luck & Happy Mixing/Vaping!
thank you very much. and yeah im trying not to get too many flavors to start with trying to take it slow. and i have been checking all the diy threads, alot of good info in there. and i have the ejuice app =)

Welcome Yutdog
I have also just got into mixing my own juices, it's a fun little hobby that I never expected I would be doing when i first switched to e-cigs.

I have to second the Capella. i'm new to DIY too and have the best luck with Capellas. I have a ton of others too but as base flavors I like the capellas. Now if I could just get a break from the kids I could find the time to make some juices.
Thank you for the advice on Capella I'll have to try some. I'm already liking the smoothness of my mixes. I don't know if my flavor is low but they have all been very vapeable so far.
I love the capella's strawberry and cream it a everyday vape for me and I'm not even a fruit person
I have been vaping for 2 months and am really looking forward to DIYing some flavors, love the possibilities
Love to DIY but I can't help myself when it comes to limiting the flavours I buy. Looks like a laboratory in my study but it keeps me out of trouble on a saturday afternoon. Made some pretty good ones and some not so great ones so far. My worst was a crazy mix of banana, almond, vanilla, coconut, tobacco and pineapple. It tasted pretty good on the inhale but the exhale, well, it reminded me of sick to be honest. I don't think that one will get better with age 
When I started out DIYing, I felt that I had to order every flavor under the sun, as I was going to create exotic, 5 or 6 combined flavor, complicated recipes. As a result, some were good, some were awful, most were somewhere in between. I over complicated DIYing. I have probably 60 or 70 flavors sitting around that I may never use again. I've zeroed in on a couple basic tobacco based recipes, using only a couple flavors, that are delicious, and are my all day vapes; plus a few occasional change of pace recipes, like sweets, coffee, etc.
When I re-entered the world of vaping I decided I would DIY my own juices. I ordered 20 flavors along with my VG-Nic Base. I soon learned that some flavors are amazing and some are just ok. The crazy part is the flavors I am liking are not the flavors I would choose for food. I don't like bananas, but banana cream is all I have had today because it is sooo good. Same with Blueberrys and my blueberry waffles juice... My only advice is to try new things and to check out shop.goodprophets.com Rob has treated me well so far...
Ditto that, Karla... I've only tried a very few of Capella's but so far they've been the best I've used. Can't wait until I can order a few more... they have a few I really want to try. I expect that's where I'll be getting almost all my flavorings in the future.
that sounds good. i just made a dbl choc cappuccino mint that taste really good. and btw vapure got back to me quick i was impressed. so i may have a semi local shop for all my orders soon =). my main problem so far is not letting them steep i keep vapin them up lol.
