For those who make their own liquid. Where do you get your flavors. Been making liquid now for a few months and have been just going for the cheapest place. But i just heard of premium flavors and want that. And so far ive been hit or miss but always vapable to me cause im cheap and just dont want to throw away money. If this is not the right place for this question I would appreciate whoever pointing me in the right direction. thank you.

Cheap is ok, but don't sacrifice quality. I have tried some imported junk from the orient, and it sucks. I mean, they can't even paint a child's toy. You gonna trust them with something you ingest???

Stay with USA Made for your PG, VG and nic.

I don't make my own, but I'll tweek a juice. I have Kringle's Curse from Halo for mint, Belgian Cocoa for my chocolate fix, and some red cherry stuff (can't remember from where). These are used as additives, not a main entree. I just add a few drops of whatever it needs. I think of them like the spice cabinet in the kitchen. But each of these are very high quality.

And the best stuff I've vaped has been very complex, multiple flavors combined together, expertly crafted, like a gourmet entree. I have tried some DIY stuff, and it reminds me of a simple flavored sno cone.

(Did I make like 4 food references? Is it past my lunch time?)

I have been going to RTSVapes, as they have great prices on Hangsen and FlavourArt, which are my favorite flavor manufacturers. They also carry Capella and The Flavor Apprentice, as well as all nic, PG/VG, and mixing supplies. DIY E-Cig Supplies & E-Cigarette Liquid | Make Your Own E-Liquid | RTS Vapes

Although I have never bought from them, other DIYers shop at ECigExpress and The Vaping Zone, in addition to the vendors that MiamiMom63 already mentioned.

I just got seriously into making my own juice, and have been getting flavors from Mt. Baker, but I've not been all that happy with them, and I'm starting to look around. You are wise to start making your own, you will save a lot of money and get what you really want, instead of something someone else made up.

For my own part I just want to be free of the guesswork and juices that don't turn out to be any good after I've paid for them. I've spent enough on that. Check out the DIY forum and the Hangsen's thread. RTS Vapes looks to be a very good source of DIY juice mixing supplies. I'll be ordering from them.

In general I want vaping independence as much as possible, where I make my own juices and depend as little as possible on outside sources. RBA's freed me from a lot of retail tyranny, now I want to be free of the rest of it as much as possible.

Sorry, I don't care for strawberry and I haven't really tasted any that tasted like a sweet strawberry. Most I've tried are more of a ripe strawberry taste with a slight sourness to it. I would imagine you would need to add sweetener. The only sort of decent strawberry I've had was Strawberries and Cream. So possibly even add sweetener and whipped cream to it for a nice flavor. But it's not easy to get an exact strawberry taste as the real thing.

Flavor West has some original flavors that I can't find anywhere else. Monster Energy, Dr. Pepper, and a few others. Those stick in my mind because it was a simple DIY. Just keep the flavors between 5-8% and you should be good on those. I think they have a table that gives you the optimal percentage, but don't quote me on that.

Im tying diy for the fist time and I would like to know if anyone has a recipe for strawberry. I would like it to taste like strawberry nothing else and I'm not sure how to do it so can anyone help me

Get Strawberry Ripe from TFA, use about 5% in your recipe with 1-2 drops sweetener per 5ml. I have tried the others and they taste too candy-like for me. This one is spot on. Hope this helps!
