I'm getting ready to start DIY liquids and I plan to buy from ecigexpress. I like the prices of the flavor west flavors. That being said I know nothing about them. Has anyone else used them? Are they any good?

So far of the ones I've tried they're not bad, but they're rather weak..you need a lot more of it than any other flavor for the same result, so the price is deceptive 
Yes, some of them are quite good but just as BnB says they are not as strong and require a bit more. A few that I remember off the top of my head that are good, Virginia Fire Cure, Orange Dream Bar, Candy Cane & Prickly Pear. The Banana Split is ok and few that didn't work for me, Dr. Pepper and the Honey Wood tobacco, eck.
I use their Sugar Cookie and it's very good, weak though so it takes a lot of flavor to taste it.
i found a nice tobacco flavor, first I use 60% VG 40% PG at 6 to 12mg.
FW Maple Rum Tobacco ----6%
FW Havana Tobacco -------6%
FW Coumarin Pipe Tobacco -6%
= 18% flavor.

I agree with what has allready been said weak but some are pretty good a general rule of thumb with the non tobaccos is 15 percent to 20 percent flavoring needed:
Sugar Cookie
Vanilla Cupcake
Butterscotch
Caramel Candy
Yellow Cake
The tobaccos, only ones I would recommend in a fix or as starters, are Chocolate Tobacco or Vanilla Tobacco and even those need help with other flavors IMO. The Plain tobacco is too perfumey smelling for my liking. The Honeywood is gagarrific to me.

I like the FW Sugar Cookie as a stand alone flavor. 12% works for me.
For tobacco flavors, I prefer the Flavor Art over any of the FW I've tried.

Shiloh, I have the Yellow Cake but have not had a chance to mess with it, what are your thoughts?
gagarrific - too funny
Its good tastes like cake with maybe a touch of lemon. I use it with other flavors.
I didn't care for it and I bought a 30 ml bottle. Just did the initial test and there was a background chemical/alcohol taste I didn't like. I even left the lid off for a few days (I never do stuff like this) thinking that might help...it didn't.
It may be ok for mixing, I don't know. Maybe I'll give it a try when I run out of Capellas

Thanks Shiloh

Yeah BnB, I learned that lesson early on. If it's a flavor i've never used before, I buy the smallest sample I can find. Even if it's the same flavor but different manufacture.
I will give it a try in the next few days and report back with my thoughts.
My daily vape before I ran out was a mixture I used with vanilla cupcake. It also had a touch of fw caramel in it at times. I found that if I didn't give it a water bath or leave it sit, it didn't taste right.
I gave some to miss calista and I believe she enjoyed the flavor of.it. but was too low in PG as far as a good th for her
The sugar cookie I could never get to work.for.me.
custom signature goes here___________________

I normally do the same, but this was around the holidays and the vendor (with great prices to begin with) was running a sale on 30 ml flavoring for about the same price as the smaller bottles...so I'm not out that much money wise.
I really should just bundle up some of these things and sell them or give them away before they go bad...sigh...
I only have Virginia Fire Cured Tobacco from FW, and it's pretty good. I agree that the FA tobaccos are more versatile, though.
In general, I agree that FW is a little weaker than some other vendors. Some of their flavors are ridiculously strong, though. FWIW, their Tangerine flavor is the best "orange" I have found from any vendor, ever. Their mint flavors are the most true I have found as well. I went through quite a few Spearmints before I found perfection in FW.
BTW, if you have tried Bombayvaping.com's pre-mixed flavors, you have tried FW. Look at the 2 sites and compare flavor lists. They are nearly identical.

Fruit Stripe Gum is dead on for flavor. Most of the FW tobacco flavors leave a lot to be desired. Like a few have stated, some flavor strengths are weak.
Update:
OK so I got cheesecake, vanilla cupcake, french vanilla, and kiwi. I have tried 2 so far. I'm absolutely in love with the cheesecake I think its gonna be my daily for some time to come. I also tried the vanilla cupcake. The cupcakes not bad but its not my favorite. Perhaps I should let it steep a little longer. I really don't taste vanilla. It reminds me more of spice cake minus the cake. Its vape-able but I don't see myself using this one alot. But like I said maybe if it steeped a little more I might change my mind. Looking forward to trying the others as well.
On a side note its interesting how all my liquids are clear but after mixing and steeping a few days some have gone to a yellowish color and others kind of an amber color.
