That's what I plan to do too, that way it's all in glass already so no need to buy new glass, plus when empty I'll have more glass 
Nothing feels better than steeped juice in glass! I just finished cleaning 6 months worth of glass bottles. I have them all standing up by their mouths on paper towel. I'm considering buying one of those drying racks and drying them that way. Glass just seems to preserve the flavor better IMO. Or they just are neater. Not sure. I went with amber 15ml bottles and bought two 72 count packages.
I got a little freaked out when some of our vendor bottles of juice decided to melt down. Then I went DIY and did research to change everything to glass. Now most of my flavors are in glass. With the exception of my 4oz FW flavors are in thick cloudy Polypropylene plastic bottles.
ooo, just popped on their site, they have new tea flavorings. Iced, white, green, black and chai. and swiss cherry? Blood orange?
I'm already happy with my FA Black Tea. But that swiss cherry is worth buying a small one once egicx gets some in. Maybe a flavor company has cherry nailed down? I love TPA Cherry Blossom and Dark cherry. BUT! The search for the perfect cherry continues...
Darnit why did I look!!

Lime/Peppermint is right up my (current) alley. I will have to try this...(but now I have to order Lime Tahiti too). Thanks!
I have some of your favorites on order (but not sure which company made yours). Care to share one of your favorite recipes? I have TPA Hypno and FA Hypnotic Mist because I tried a vendor juice that was awesome. I haven't mixed them with anything yet, but I really want to get that one going. Do you think Hypnotic Mist is good as a single flavor?
*perk* What is Snowflake? I missed that one. MBV White Out was one of the first vendor juices I really really liked. I still keep it on hand among others (I'm a MBV fanboy).
This looks like a great list - what is your biggest favorite of these? I'm guessing at least one of the 4 oz bottles...
BakuPeg - Please post when you find a great cherry, I am very interested in a great cherry

Snowflake is EM and Peppermint, that and I think a little butter mint is the main mints in White Out. Just my guess though, and they use mainly FW flavors there so that's why I was thinking it might be these. So I thought that would be a great place to start testing. I plan to try FA Anise in there lightly when I feel I've got the mint aspect close. Not sure, the Anise flavor is so light, they might even be using FW Absinthe instead of plain Anise, so I plan to test with that lightly as well.
Once I get anything similar I'm going to really flavor blast it because I think it's a great combo and I really love White Out too! How many flavor shots have you tried from them? I've only grabbed it twice, first time I didn't get any, but this last time I got a bigger bottle with +1 flavor shot, didn't want to go two in case it was too much, but now having tasted +1 I think 2-3 would probably be fine too. It's a GREAT flavor, hard to let it steep too because it's good from the get-go, but much better after a few weeks.

I've only ordered the 15 ml White Out at 12mg/ml. I've learned that when I order 30ml bottles, I need 1 extra flavor shot, and also 1 if I order 6mg/ml of a flavor. (I have to order some low nics for when I'm in pacifier mode)
If you duplicate it, please let me know. I will likely still buy it from MBV, but if the FDApocalypse happens I could be prepared.
Stone, my mixes are very complex now I don't use just one flavor. FW Ecto cooler and FW Sweedish Fish are my workhorses. FA Oba Oba is used in most mixes. I've worked the complexity of Cherry Blossom in a few of my mixes and it works well. I've been known to throw in 2% of this and 3% of that on a whim and they work, sometimes they don't. Sometimes I just throw stuff on paper, tweak this or that 1 or 2 %. Mix it up and get something weird and different.
I've gone to some alcoholic drink mixing sites to experiment in flavor mixing with mixed results. I made a perfect Peach Schnaps (wasn't intending to) and a super fruity bubblegum. It was trying to be a "tahiti sunset" drink flavor but it turned into a fruity bubblegum.
Its strange to make a vape and label it with a clever name. I made a wild vape with FA black tea, a bunch of flavors and TPA Juicy Peach.
Give it to my husband to vape (after a week steep) and he says.. umm You perfectly nailed Peach schnaps. You need to rename this.. I mean I put black tea flavor in it, and it turned into peach schnaps!! Needless to say its already gone, I need to mix more lol!

I'm a noob at DIY, so I'm getting some weird concoctions thinking they might be good. I have FA black tea on order (WL is taking foreeeever) and TPA juicy peach on-hand. Your post makes me want to mix them, tho I'm not a huge fan of Schnaps.
Being a noob DIYer, it's way too easy for me to throw too many things in I think. I'm trying to start with simpler recipes and then building on those.
I skipped FW ecto cooler because it wasn't clearo friendly, but a few Flavorjunkies have mentioned it now. I think it has to go on the list. I did order TFA gummy candy - do you think that is in any way similar to FW swedish fish?
NOO Juicy peach and black tea is GOOD to mix together for a nice peach tea. Its the 2 and 3% others that turned it into schnapps. I was just shocked after adding the tea flavoring the other flavors just moved it aside and it wanted to be schnaps!
I havent tried TFA gummy candy I con't comment on it. I have so much sweedish fish I don't want to buy a too- similar a flavor.
I've made so many peach teas with juicy peach. Peach Tea. Minty Peach Tea, Peach watermellon tea, Peach dragonfruit tea, Peach blossom tea.
WL is a good company. Its just demand has not kept up with their supply. everyone is panic buying. Not just us DIYers. I bet their wholesale side has exploded. *EVERYONE* wants a 10 year supply of nic and that includes juice vendors. Their 10 year supply is probably 100 year for us little DIYers. WL didn't just move into a new facility just to deny us Nicotine. When they re-open nic sales they will quickly sell out if the demand still out beats their supply. I've been keeing an eye on the RTS forum and watch as they add X amout of gallons and the next day they add X amout, and you see the supply on their page. Its scary. Amusing and scary!

I've used about 3 FW flavors straight through but the others in the candy and drink categories I rediscovered the last few months. I've actually used FW red pop to jazz up a ho hum mix I allready had...lol Anyways, if anyone who is totally proficient in them has any general flavor percentages for as a single and as a multiple flavor please post what worked for you as I've got another order in the mail from DIYjuice.com coming any day and the flavors I've had so far aren't all equally strong.
I'm getting a mad scientist urge now. WL is killing me, I want them to ship my order - it's been a week. But, I felt lucky when I was able to actually order - they've been so backlogged lately. Anyway, when I get my order I'll be making a peach tea something. Thanks!

Hmm, seems exactly in line with my thoughts! I first got 15ml to test, and then 30ml next with +1 flavor because I liked the 15ml so much. Once the 30ml arrived I tested, and thought this, and then a week later I was sure, seemed to me too the 30ml was weaker because the +1 flavor shot didn't taste any stronger to me than that initial 15ml with no flavor shots. So I think you've hit that spot on, in order to get White out 30ml to match 15ml flavors you need +1 flavor shot right outta the gate to make it equal, and then if you wanted stronger flavor you've got to hit the flavor at least once more.
So I was planning to try 30ml next time at +2 or +3, wish I would have known that about the 30ml before I ordered so I could have got +2 flavor shots up front
I'll let you know if I come close! I'm sure even if I don't get exact, I think I can come close and I bet we'll both like it, so I'll be sure to share!
Yes, I went slow at first ordering juices because I didn't want to end up with tons that I hated. MBV is still the only vendor I have ordered from multiple times. Anyway - the first 30 ml bottle was a little disappointing (still vapable), so i added the shot with the next 30 ml order. I had already read elsewhere on this forum that when you lower the nic, you might want more flavor. I've just stuck to the rule, and so far it works for me....So I think you've hit that spot on, in order to get White out 30ml to match 15ml flavors you need +1 flavor shot right outta the gate to make it equal, and then if you wanted stronger flavor you've got to hit the flavor at least once more.

Thanks for sharing! BTW, I didn't taste much anise in White Out either, so I think you are correct that they add it very lightly (I sense it as a back note). You're also right that there is a buttery mint in there somewhere - it's not a "slap you in the face" mint. I think I'll have to add more flavors to my mile-long list once you get it worked out.
That's what I plan to do too, that way it's all in glass already so no need to buy new glass, plus when empty I'll have more glass
My thinking exactly!!
wohoo!! Myvapejuice.com net flavorings have arrived!!
woot!!!!!!!!!
Awesome flurry of posts. TPA was my first flavor supply. Glass? I'm returning. After I scroung around for some best of TPAs but ya know how it is. Subjective. Natures Flavors seemed like a bomb to some but I did fine with most their stuff. Live and learn though. Maybe next year I'll realize something I'm not aware of now. It's an experiential process and that's the part I love since custom flavors does mean custom after all. Now quality, re rats piss in the flavors, that would be an issue. Some people think Alcohol is an issue but so far I don't see it as something I can't work with. Then again it's MY little project and I learn best from making my own mistakes. But the inspiration is clearly important sharing here motivating and could get expensive. Part of me says stick with a flavor line and ship once a year with them. But I already know it won't quite work that way. Oh well. Hmmm let's see....10 too many shipments at average of 5.00 a year is $50 bucks. So hmmm that's about 5 -10 ml bottles of premade which is about one month supply give or take ( if its vapeable) WORTH IT! For the 1st hand education?
Some people pay to learn this kind of stuff and probably will in some future. For the immediate gratification? ( for me, my flavors so far are not particularly steep dependent) independance, so on and son. Pride of accomplishment and that low resentment quality....I don't mind making myself a underwhelming but vapeable juice but it kinda bends my brain when I get that from a Vendor for 4 x times the cost. Nothing worse than being on the receiving end of over promising and under delivering.
I had thought I topped at 40 bottles of flavor...I'm going to ad a few more and back to TPA I go since I never had a problem at all from my first flavors. Please steer me away from Big Mistake. If you took the time to read all this. Keep in mind. At this point in time I and not doing ANY chocolates, mints,tobaccos, menthols, or coffees. Maybe in 6 months surely il get tired of my grouping. TPA Key Lime and Lime "something" mentions by shanC ...if its not a menthol or minty thing. Lmk.
Hypnotic Mist as I've been reading is a solo flavor and I still don't know what the heck it is even about. So anyone know? Any menthol or tobacco in that? No clue

I absolutely love TPA Hpno Type. I flavor at 18-20% because I like strong flavors. It's kina citrusy/fruity/tropical, light with a punch, slightly effervescent, and sweet. I have tried it in mixes, but, for me, it's better alone. It's also carto friendly, which is very important to me.
I have a different train of thought on this. Too many times I have tried juices early on that left a bad taste/thought that I disliked so much I never gave them another chance. Then there is the other side of the spectrum. I don't want to get hooked on something before it's fully steeped only to find it's totally different and not to my liking after sitting around a while. At this point in my DIYing, I would just as soon wait it out and see what developes.
Days 1 - 3 left them capped and gave them a 5 minute shake daily on my hobby paint shaker. Five minutes (5,000 shakes per minute) on that thing is probably equal to 24 hours of shaking by hand. Days 4 and 5 left the tops off ti air a bit. Now they will just sit capped through the rest of the two weeks with a mild hand shake daily.
My taste buds are toast the last two days anyway so waiting will be an advantage.
I am beginning to wonder if the WL Nic is giving me issues. I've been using their regular and Ice the past month or so and have been getting sore throats and extreme dryness despite drinking over a gallon of water a day. I freak out if I don't have my Brita squeeze bottle in one hand. Probably nothing to do with WL nic but for the heck of it I have some ECX incoming (if it ever leaves that post office) and I'll also order some from VZ to try. Anyone have any issues with one brand over another besides taste differences?
