Has anyone successfully used cola from flavorart? How about a cola/cherry or vanilla mix? Having difficulty with it. New to DIY, harder than you think if you can't find the percentages!

I must be missing something because everywhere it says that FlavourArt is so strong, but I have used up to 14% on Vanilla Classic, probably 6% on Black Cherry, and 5% on cola and I don't feel like I'm getting the flavor I should be. Do I need to mix these with sucralose or something to bring out the flavors? I have been adding few % water to a 70/30 pg/vg mix. I am still unsure how water affects it except diluting it and adding some vapor? The flavors just taste odd, incomplete, and weak. All the FA %s I've seen have been very low, 2-3% usually. One person said that they use 2% on the classic vanilla, and I used 7 times that! I have to be missing something with all of these. I shook them like crazy and waited hours, without much improvement. I know they mature, but if they aren't even close now I don't think they will ever be. Thanks

Made my first juice good enough to fill a cart! This was my fourth attempt, but my first and only so far with dfs. All the others are in the "wait to vape" shelf, which means I don't wanna throw it out but I dunno what to do with it 
So my question for Dawn has to do with the color, I used poundcake, Bavarian cream, and a lil butter, I am using dual coil clear carts and today they are almost black? 
I know that the nic oxidizes and makes juice a funky color, but I have never had one turn this much. And since I made it myself, it made me a lil worried. Other than the color the juice is wonderful! Any suggestion, is this still normal? Thanks!

Yesterday I mixed up some waffles and butter (seems I am going through a sweet phase
) I dripped it and I don't get waffle at all? I mixed it at 25%, I did notice too that this concentrate is almost black, even before mixed. I have only had waffle in premixed, but it was an amber color. Does it need to steep or should I add more flavor? I should have ordered bigger bottles! I had no idea it takes so much to make small bottles, I thought u only had to use a few drops. Next time I will be sure to get bigger ones. Any ideas?

Dawn i have a question you can maybe help me with . I was wondering on the proper mixing order . Someone told me it makes a huge difference in the order you mix .Has something to do with a chem reaction .
FOr example
first pg
2 vg
3 flavors
4 nic base .
Can you let me know the proper order ?

Really - it makes a difference??? How can this be? I mean, it all gets mixed together when you shake it up. Seriously I want to know if it makes a difference and how. Might need to change the way I mix. 
This is how I do it: I have my base, including nic already to go whenever I mix, so all I need to do is squirt 10 mls of base into bottle and add drops of flavoring, unless the recipe calls for over over a ml or two of flavoring.
If so, I mix in a 10 ml syringe and when there is a lot of flavoring, first I squirt some PG into top of syringe (using my thumb to cover the bottom of syringe), then 2 mls of VG based nic, then flavoring, and top off with PG. Then I pick up my empty bottle, hold it under syringe and carefully slide thumb off syringe opening so liquid from syringe drips into bottle. I blow into top of syringe until liquid fills bottle. Then to make sure I get anything that is stuck to the sides of the syringe, I use the plunger to get the rest out. If flavoring is less than a mill, I just squirt my prepared base into empty bottle and then add drops of flavoring to the bottle directly from dropper bottle or separate pipette.
I like a 10 - 12 mg nic strength. My base is around 12 mg nic strength, so that allows for a little wiggle room for the flavoring. I like somewhere between 70/30 and 80/20 PG/VG mix, so I use 1 part of 48 or 50 mg VG nic to 3 parts of PG for my base. That means my base is 75/25 PG/VG. Using 48 mg of VG nic yields a 12 mg nic base, 50 mg - a tad more.

The reason i like to do it that way is because i see the nicotine first... Just a ocd thing but you are right it gets all mixed together..
We are sooo ocd.. I guess..lol

OK so I am reading every thing I can on diy'ing and I guess I need a sweetner what do I order if I want to order from you? Sugar cream and cotton candy are the choices I see. And will the work as sweetener for any recipe I find that calls for it?
Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the help.

Do you have a brick and mortar? I think I saw one on Cheyenne and Decatur but it looked like it might be closed. I live right down the street from you and have been toying with the idea of DIYing.
Hi, we are in the process of opening..... Please check back in about 3 weeks! Also watch our website for more information
Thank you
Gotta love it!!!! Less than 2 miles from my home too
That's great! Hope you try DIY ... it's fun!!
How can I get info on the best way to enjoy different flavors?
I love your products and have trouble getting certain flavors to vape well. Am I using the wrong amounts of vg/pg? Some do well with 70% pg and 30 vg. Others do not vape as well.
