Flavors for starting diy ?

[Robbert]

I was going to order an assortment of flavors for mixing up juices.
Is there flavors that are used more often than others?
I would like to try fruit flavors and some vanilla bean/creamy/Carmel/ and maybe cinnamon roll.
I realize I may have get 20+ flavors but if someone could list brand and flavors it would help me get started.
I get my tobacco flavors from HHV or I extract myself so tobacco flavors I’m not really needing at this time.

I wanted to add that Id like to make a grape,strawberry and a mango flavored juice.
Then a cream such as vanilla bean,banana,touch of Carmel,cinnamon,etc...
I’ve read enough to realize it may take several brands,flavors and perhaps some sweetners to start the journey.
I think something simple like a flavor on inhale and one to compliment it on the exhale would be a great start.
Should I maybe start with fruit flavors only??

You've got some work to do. lol.

I'll say right off get some TPA Banana Nut Bread and CAP Cinnamon Danish Swirl. Can't go wrong, great single flavors. I think FA Fuji Apple is awesome to mix with Danish. Like most of us, you need to go to a good recipe site (ELR) and find a few highly rated mixes. As well, go to a decent seller that has lots of reviews (Bull City Flavors) and do some comparisons. Good luck .

It would be nice if there was a flavor starter kit for diy.
I think I pick out 5 recipes and start making a list.

Mom and pop has concentrates that I’m going to try while I figure out list.

 

[Robbert]

If I like the flavors the concentrates will work for me.
Mom and Pops have every flavor they make offered in a concentrate and I used to vape their juices.
Is there other popular juice makers that offer concentrates?

I vape mostly unflavored, or lightly flavored. But there's something I've been thinking I'll try, for your consideration. Some places sell what they call flavor shots. They're premixed flavor concentrates.
E-Juice Flavor Shots Explained - Mt Baker Vapor
It seems they attempt the complexity of commercially produced eLiquids in 'one bottle' flavor concentrates.
Unless you're just into creativity, as many are, it might be something for you to check out.
Of course, even then you can be creative by combining flavor shots.

I’m trying a dozen of Mom and Pops concentrates that arrived today.
This will work for me for now instead of buying handfuls of single flavors I can get already concentrates of popular flavors that have been tweaked for years and still save a respectable amount of money.

So far I’m fairly happy with M & P concentrates.
I tried 25% and it was either too much or steeping is needed.

I went down to 15% and much much better.
It’s a great way to start mixing flavors and it’s definitely less expensive than ready to vape juices.

Always best to start low and work your way up with flavoring. Much easier to add more than to subtract

Good luck!

I haven't got my first diy order yet (tomorrow) but 25% sounds like WAY too much flavor. All the recipes I've looked at cap out at 10%. I plan on going with about 5% and go from there. Good luck in your recipes - I just ordered flavors I think I will like, mostly fruits.

M m P recommend 25% and I tried a few that way but it was too much for me.
I think your right and 25% is too much but it’s nice they make it strong and I hope they continue.
I mixed them all up as 25% in pure Vg to start the steeping process then start trying different percentages.

One shot concentrates really make diy easy and almost guarantee a good result. Have a look at this UK site, they have a ton of one shot concentrates. Shipping to the USA is $6

Just keep in mind that the commercial juice you are used to, will have flavour percentages of 15-20+%. For a mix, aim between 10-15% total. Most of my mixes are 11-12%

 

[vaper1960]

I compiled this list from lots of research... if you have time read through the list (very long)

Best flavors list

Really down to 5-10%?A 10ml bottle of juice in 90ml of vg/pg?
Down to 5% your getting 200ml of ready to vape juice?

Most start diy at higher percentages and gradually reduce as they become accustomed to diy mixes. Kind of like coming off the smokes and you needed strong flavors, very similar experience coming off commercial juice. Mix what works for you period.

No, sorry I wasn't referring to Mamas N Papas one shots, but to using diy flavours in a mix.
