DIY Newb- Basic flavorings to have on hand

[the_vape_nerd]

Hi, I've been vaping about a year. Jumped into DIY when my order came over the weekend. I mixed 3 juices which all came out surprisingly well (at least for a first attempt). Used the breaktru calculator which is awesome by the way.

Anyhow, those of you who do this often, are there some things I should have on hand that are like basic flavors that can be added in with other flavors? I cook so i'm sorta approaching this in terms of how I have my kitchen spices and supplies. Like I've got salt, and butter and pepper, just the basic things you'd have on hand in any kitchen.

I've got a partial list but I want some help from you guys about what else I might get:

1. a tobacco base (I got 7 leaves, but what are some others that blend well?)
2. honey
3. sweetner
4. vanilla
5. maybe a lemon or lime flavor?

What are some of the other ones that I'm not thinking of that come up a lot.

The wife and i primairly vape fruit and/or tobacco with some component of fruit in it.

Ethyl maltol, either the crystals or the ready to go version - cotton candy - is a must!

Some people like to use Lorann's Tart & Sour - seems to make fruit flavors pop. I don't use it much at all myself.

I use vanillas, but find I use Bavarian Cream more. That might just be me though.

Perfumer's Apprentice/Signature's Bavarian Cream makes every other flavor better! It adds depth and goodness to any juice

Since your wife likes fruit, get some PA Bav. Cream, some Flavor Art's Cookie and you can add any fruit flavor to it and it tastes like a wonderful fruit danish or fruit turnover. Just do 5 drops B.C. + 5 drops Cookie and 8 drops any kinda Fruit in a 6ml bottle. 2 drops sweetener and it'll taste like a store bought juice!

One of the other flavors I use in a lot of stuff is TPA/Signature Vanilla Swirl. It's described as vanilla custard without the custard notes. I think it taste similar to vanilla soft-serve.
