Flavor West DIY flavor review

[HeadInClouds]

Thanks! I've also found 15% generally works for me with FW flavorings.

Have you tried a drop or two of Koolada in your Dr. Pepper? I thought it helped.

You said you use Gummi Bear as an add in...curious what you add it to.

Honeydew just went on my shopping list. I'd like to make a melon mix and wasn't sure whose honeydew flavor to use.

Lemonaide - I've been looking for a true, tart lemon and tried this one. I find it sweet, so interesting you found it sour, lol! I used only 10% so now I'll try 15 and see if I get the taste you got. Hope so!

Maraschino Cherry - hurry and try yours - it's great. I add tiny amounts to other flavors; it's one of the strongest FW flavorings I've tried. Mixed with Toasted Marshmallow is sweet enough to you a cavity.

Thanks again for compiling and sharing your notes!

Well..it has a tart "tang" to it that I expect from citrus.. M Cherry is sitting at home..pretty excited because it made my whole mix room smell awesome haha

all my DIY mixes are 12mg nic in a 50/50 pg/vg solution. You can use any amount of nic to your preference though. Happy vaping!

I didn't like the strawberry and the grapefruit smelled great but when vaped it tasted weird. I don't like fw fruits their desserts are better imo.

How long did you let them steep? Set them aside.
Some people like them right away, me not so much.
I speed steep in an ultrasonic cleaner and set them for atleast 2 weeks before I like them.
Strawberry tastes great to me. I haven't tried the grapefruit.

Great list and it confirms the percentages for a few of them that I have already mixed. I mixed a test batch of Wild Cherry at 15%, let it steep for a week, and it was way too strong. I have two new batches steeping right now. One at 3% and one @6%. They should be ready for testing next week.

Keep the updates comming.

Thank You for all the work and time spent making the list.
I find it really helpful.
Looking forward to using FW with better results.
Your a sweetie

The list looks great, I will add my input to it when I get the time. I have about 38 Flavor West flavors right now as I am making and selling juice to a local tobacco store. No complaints at about 15% so far with minor differences here and there and like I said will elaborate on eventually. The red hots I'm pretty sure isn't as spicy as the Hot Tamale which is why 7% is ok. It's actually gotten better because I have used less of it in the ratio, I used way more than I thought originally. Thanks for all the help guys and hope some of my input helps.

For any of you DIYers do you use any labels on your bottles? If so I have purchased address labels that I can print on and then stick on to the bottles but since they not designed for plastic they peel off eventually which is a problem when they are in the store. They look great but I need something stickier. Any suggestions? I know this isn't the right place for it but I was already posting so why not. I am relatively new to ECF so if someone could tell me the right place to post this question I would appreciate it. Thanks guys!

I just use 5/8" x 2.75" Avery labels with a piece of tape over hanging it about 1/2" on either side..
..so about a 4" piece of tape.

It protects the ink somewhat and keeps the label stuck.

Brother labeled. One that can handle 1" tape. Mine hooks up to my computer and I print a 2.5" label

Having an interesting experience with pomegranate. 15% ratio, 50/50 mix, 12mg nicotine, using nude nicotine 100mg nicotine in a kangertech protank 2, on my ego c upgrade 1000 or my tesla. One tank of this mix darkens as you finish the tank (like it is burning) and before I finish my tank of pomegranate the coil is burned and then stops working. Gone through 3 coils in 3 days but pomegranate is sooooooo goooooooood.....anyone have similar experience?

Havent tried the pom. I do experience juice darkening toward the end of the tank with both my pro tank and my t3s tanks. I also use a tesla as my regulated, a galileo for my mech( i rebuild the kanger coil heads. ~1.5 for heads i use in my regulated rebuilds and ~.7 on the coil heads i use with the galileo)
I do know the pumpkin spice leaves my coils lookin a little buggered up. I just dry burn till red hot and rewick.

I've experienced juice darkening...but what I mean is it goes from very light (in the tank it first looks clear) to dark dark, no see through black. Weird!

I have had that happen also. First with Banana Split. It went almost black and had an off flavor and then with Pineapple Upsidedown Cake. It was doing fine and on one tank it went jet black with an off flavor. I cleaned the clearo and refilled and haven't had it happen again.

 

[Scotsman6783]

Wow, that did darken up a lot. Thats crazy

Mixed a 30ml bottle of FW Vanilla Custard and FA Vienna Cream.I know taste is subjective,but this mix is a rich creamy vape you can't stop vaping,and you crave the taste.
10ml's-50/50 24mg nic
4ml's-FW Vanilla Custard
1ml-FA Vienna Cream
15ml's-50/50 PG/VG
6 drops-Signature Sweetener(3 drops per 10ml's).
Make the first tank try and last as long as you can.After 72 hours of steeping it amooths out to the cravable vape.The first tank is not bad,just not completely mixed and blended yet.

Editon't go over 1ml of Vienna Cream,it can take over and ruin a juice.

Anyone have any experience with FW Graham Cracker. I have tried it at 10%, 12.5%, 15%, 17.5% and 20%. Not a very pleasant taste and nothing like a graham cracker. I was going to use it as a mixer but I have to get the taste right first.

20mg nic
80/20 Pg/VG

Some FW flavors are best at 1%-7% and taste terrible mixed too high,(10% and up).Graham Cracker might be one of them.

Graham cracker takes quite some time to steep. When it starts getting dark it is getting delicious.

I steeped it for 10 days. I did a Google search and found a reference that said it was excellent at 15%. I'll mix another batch and forget about it for 3-4 weeks.

Can you remember the percentages you used.
I can't use the ml count, because I don't want to make that size of a batch.
If you have the percentage you used, I would like to try this
With the percentage count, I can make any size recipe I want.
It sure sounds good ...thanks

The Vienna Cream is at 3.4% and the Custard is at 13.2% in that recipe. Total flavor used is 16.6%

Hope that helps

BTW- It does sound yummy. I may try it at lower %
