enough lurking in this thread..
just picked up;
TFA
Honeysuckle, Black Sesame
FA
Cardamom, Jasmine, OakWood, Black Pepper, Thyme, Tomato.
along with about 18 'normal' flavors
Maybe I'm crazy, but, fresh cracked black pepper on top of a good ripe peach with a little whipped cream, heaven. Cardamom and thyme are wonderful in black tea. OakWood and Honeysuckle (and maybe the jasmine) would be a great addition to cola. As for the tomato, one word, TOMACCO!

Go really light with the Jasmine. I did some with Black Tea and three drops of it in 5ml is too much.
I bought black pepper and cardamom too, thought they would be good in a mix. I skipped thyme and tomato, though. I thought a drop of black pepper might be good with a cola to mimic the sharpness in the throat that you get from drinking a freshly opened soda.
ETA: Good thing you aren't lurking anymore, it sounds to me like you have some good ideas.
I wish somebody would start a Nature's Flavors reviews thread in the flavor reviews section. That section gets no love alot of time. I'd like a concise place to hear about what flavors are good and which ones not so much. Anyone who shops at free shipping time be prepared to wait---as they get hit pretty good during those campaigns. Ok I'll shutup now....lol
**Disclaimer: I copied most of this from my post on Diane's thread, but promised to post here as well.
I did a little dripping, and these are my impressions (YMMV) of my My Vape Juice mixes...which are not fully steeped:
Caramel Apple is not as sweet as I thought it would be. I get tart apple on the tongue and a little caramel mouth feel on the intake. There is a hint of something very slightly smoky and tannins (like in a tea) on the inhale, and more tart apple with caramel on the exhale. The overall impression I get at this point is that it is like sipping a flavored tea. I'm wondering if diluting my mix might help with the tannic quality of the flavor?
Tropico was a big surprise to me, I'm not sure why. I expected to like it, but for some reason I was thinking it might be a Pina Colada flavor. It is sweet, definitely, but not too sweet for me...but this is hitting my max on the sweet spectrum. The overall flavor to me is this: imagine chewing on every one of the Tropical LifeSavers at the same time. That is exactly what this flavor tastes like to me, with the pineapple up front. The flavor is the same on the inhale and exhale. This actually vapes like it doesn't need more steeping, but I will continue to steep to see if it changes.
For Midnight Frost, I get slightly sour blackberry on the tongue with a menthol and cooling inhale. The exhale was all menthol and cooling. There is a slightly earthy undertone to the flavor throughout. I think this one definitely needs steeping, and could possibly use just a bit more berry for my taste. This is my favorite so far out of the three I mixed.

Got it from DIYJuice (FW) I'm sure you'll love it since you already know you love the flavor, betta get it on your next order list
Yes, exactly like it! Aside from that flavor, it also reminds me of the pink Necco's and Pepto Bismol a little too.
I mixed some up last night at 5%, might be a bit weak but I'm going to wait a few days to let it mix up a little more before upping the % just to be sure.
Afternoon all....been lurking around here for a few days and thought I'd jump in to the mix. Been DIY for about 4 months...some good stuff, some not so good stuff!!! Sorted out all my flavors today to put on a spreadsheet so I have some clue as to what all I have....didn't realize I had 93 bottles lurking on my shelves!!! Anyway love the comments on here...

Welcome Big Mungo. I am always open to recipes and tips, noob DIYer here.Afternoon all....been lurking around here for a few days and thought I'd jump in to the mix. Been DIY for about 4 months...some good stuff, some not so good stuff!!!
LOL - what she said, and I've just started!
LOL yes indeed. I've bought tons of flavors and I've given tons away. There's always something new to try.
Noticed a bunch of you talking about My Vape Juice......somehow I have missed them....guess I'll be breaking out the credit card again to try some new flavors!! One that I use a lot is http://www.diyflavorshack.com/default.asp
Wife loves their Holy Vanilla...I use a lot of their mints.....they have some pretty good flavors and everything so far has come in glass from them. Haven't seen them mentioned in your posts....just another vendor to add to the list...LOL

If you ever get to trying the NET flavorings feel free to post your opinions here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/flavor-reviews/394315-myvapejuice-com-net-other-diy-flavorings.html As far as diyflavorshack I have heard some really good things about her flavorings in the time that I have been at this but for some reason not a ton of exposure.
Welcome to the thread
Diyflavorshack was where my first e-cig was purchased and first e-liquid. Dawn is truly helpful and cares about her customers. Very high quality liquid. I really like her Wild West and Back Jack. I have not tried just the flavors though, but by the qualiy of her e-liquid, I am sure that they have to be the same.

I've only tried MVJ once, but haven't tried DIY Flavor Shack. I will go check it out now, and they'll probably get something from my credit card....
Can someone recommend a good Ginger flavoring? I got some Dekang premixed when I first started vaping, and liked it, nice and spicy. Unfortunately, every other premix ginger I've tried has been flat and somewhat reminiscent of wet cat.
I know of two sources of ginger but not how good they might be.
DIY JUICE and Natures Flavors. Natures Flavors has been reported to be what a lot of vendors use. There seems to be several categories the flavors get divided in to for whatever reason so because of that I'm not sure if their Ginger is the same throughout or has differences. They don't know a whole lot about flavors for vaping purposes. In the end it was decided the flavors under the " for coffee beans Teas " something like that were a better choice for vape flavors. I myself ordered mine from DIY Juice. At least that's what it says on the bottle! I'm getting confused with so many flavor venders lately. Hmmmm gonna check a couple things. Might get back. Oh, and it's a flavor I picked up trying to copy Vapelicious Lime Ventiane
That guy is the vpbest flavor artist out there but long story short, not a business man so....maybe view some of his ideas and if you order his juices for a look see, don't include the WTA option. Hes collecting Flavors from the very best sources now and will be offering them for sale soon for DIY. i think youll find him interesting. It'll take months if you can wait for WTA. I'm still not sure he's going to keep at this second job of his! Anyway. Lime Ventiane is lime, lychee and Ginger. Lychee and Ginger are not bright flavors so are a great mix for Lime IMO. Anyway I'm happy with what I got, it's just too heavy on lychee and ginger than his

Can somebody tell me please. Is it not Flavor West that opened up the DIY Juice site in order to offer vape flavors in smaller sizes? If so then the Ginger On Flavor West site is the same ase DIY Juice...

LOL! I made the mistake of ordering WTA from him back in Mid January. Still nothing.. "not a business man" is an understatement. I don't care if his juice comes Mount Olympus, and is mixed by the gods themselves, I will never order ANYTHING from that flake again.
