Way to go y'all :thumb:

I like music loud, cars fast, taste strong and sex often. I've never been subtle.
I found my DIY ratios to be as flavor-saturated as possible just short of over-saturation.

I just ran an experiment over the past week and a half and found that I'm PG sensitive.
I made some 3mg Max VG unflavored and vaped it straight for a few days.
That cleared, in a few days, a skin condition I've suffered with since I switched to vaping.
Yeah, some ppl are more stubborn than others. 30 month issue cleared in 4 days SMDH.

I ordered some VG based nicotine and 18 VG based flavors from Nude Nicotine.
Meanwhile I added a couple of drops per tank of my regular juice to my 3mg 3%PG unflavored.
A couple of 20% flavored drops per tank and I could actually taste it.
First I tried Pralines N Cream and was amazed that I could taste it at all never mind enjoy it.
Butterscotch worked almost as well but MBV Hawk Sauce is ok but really needs full strength to shine.
vaping strictly unflavored for 4 days probably made a big difference to be able to taste 2 drops/tank.

I'll probably keep a tank of full strength going to hit a few times per day but I'll try to find some good NN flavors for the majority of my consumption.
The 2 drops per tank might not work for tootle puffing but it's almost like-able at 80W in a Crown tank.
I'm not thrilled with mild juice or having to learn new skills but that's life.
Subtle isn't my forte but mild and tasty is good if it's still intense.

That's pretty crazy. Have you checked out that one company on ecigsexpess? NorthWest VG flavors I think it is? I'm pretty intrigued and plan to grab some on my next order
Nude Nic's entire line is PG-free.
I snagged a whole arsenal of flavors.
I hope to find a few that I like then take it from there.
18 new flavors to try. That should keep me busy for a while :)

I think that many of us on here are just beginners in DIY and Just make juice for our own use and not for resale.
so yes many of us are freshmen and sophomores who are not making juice for money but four our enjoyment and to save some money.
let us know if we need to start a sophomore FW flavoring thread.

Might have to start trying "low percentage" on flavors. Make me some Tennessee Bikits.

single fruits and some simple combinations. Just am sure that the right 2 or 3 creams could open up some simple possibilities.
Try bavarian cream 4%, sweet cream 4% &, vanilla swirl 2% together for a good creamy taste. Good with fruit mixes.

I just wanted to put this out there but I have used TFA, Cappellas and FW caramel and hands down think FW taste the best. But here is the kicker, it doesn't really taste like caramel still go tho IMO

How you think it compares to TFA Caramel Original? I notice a rich maple note to TFAs. There is 2 FW Caramels- salted caramel and caramel candy.

I used to lurk this thread, sad to see it buried back now....recent fw flavors I've tried and enjoyed a lot are blueberry graham waffle(need to play around with more, but I think it is better than cap blueberry cinnamon crumble actually...I liked that one, many don't though- but this fw bgw even better imo), cake batter dip....OMG this is so delicious, and I only got one search result post on it in this thread-yummy!!!!, razzleberry-one of nicest raspberries I've found and I've have had many(no fa yet)...looking forward to using these flavors in multi mixes soon

Pink lemonade was ok...I might have mixed at too low %
Didn't find coconut cream pie impressive...again might need to bump up%to get better result

Unicorn Vomit is great. Any1 who likes fruit flavors needs to try it at least once. I ordered it not expecting much and was very pleasantly surprised.

Thanks. Have you mixed it with anything? Or just standalone?

Haven't mixed it yet. Struggling to think of any flavor to mix it with. To me it seems like a stand alone flavor. Also, Unicorn Vomit does require alot of flavoring. I go somewhere in the 10% range because I like flavor to punch me in the face. That may be too much for some.

10% seems low for a FW flavor. Some of their single flavors I used to mix needed between 15-18%

I can't disagree with that. The Unicorn Vomit is def a mix of fruit flavors. 10% should be a good place to start. Don't want to overdue it with that 1. FW's Pineapple/Peach is another 1 I personally love and doesn't require alot of flavoring. Where as the FW's standalone Peach flavor does require more than what I would consider normal (15-20%)

The strongest flavor I could taste in Unicorn Vomit was the watermelon - which I do no like - so UV was a no go for me. But if you are a watermelon fan I would think you would like UV.
