I have found a small problem with my Flavourart flavorings... They are very light sensitive. I was using a standard dropper bottle and was noticing change in my juice after a day or so and it was turning an orange color. The taste was changing and so was the throat hit. I switched to using the bottle they send the juice in and have noticed a huge difference in the taste and throat hit. They are back.... just wanted to share with everyone my findings. I knew they were light sensitive but I did not know it was that drastic.

Also, what's the best Flue Cured Tobacco type flavor from Flavourarts, and is it all DIY?

Thanks in Advance - Mr.e

Don't know about flue cured, but so far I love all of their tobacco flavourings (yes, they are all DIY). Zen Garden is great, esp with a bit of apple pie flavouring. I am vaping that, Cuban with cappucino, and Burley with cappucino and some RY4 added pretty much all the time these days, with the occasional Perique Black mixed with a dash of pumpkin pie spice flavouring. (all the yummy sounding flavourings are Capella...highly recommended, esp cappucino and vanilla custard! oh, and the apple pie...wow.)

I've really enjoyed hangin' out with all the folks on the GG forums and since I DIY my own juice..I thought I'd add my methods to the resources here just for fun.

I normally buy my 50mg/pg nic, pg and vg from xtremevaping.com. Levi's stuff is very clean and cost is great. I recently bought a 500ml jug of each..so I'm set on that for awhile. I buy my Flavourart flavors from HappyVaper.com in Canada. They seem to have the best availability on stock and good prices as well. I usually get shipping in about 3-4 days too...even from Canada. I did use some Lorann's for awhile, but the darker colors in Lorann's seemed to kill my atties..and everything just tasted sweet..but not distinct. The FlavourArt stuff is usually fairly light colored and if I vape Peanut...that's what I taste..and smell. I also ordered some Perfumer's Apprentice awhile back, but didn't like any of them...all tasted and smelled heavily of alcohol. I've recently gone back to play with them a bit and they seem to have settled down some and my taste buds are better now than a few months ago..so they may still have merit yet.

As to how I mix...I usually do 30ml or 50ml batches of 20-25mg juice at a time..unflavored...mixing about 20-25% VG in that. I use a syringe to carefully measure when I make my big batches.

Then I'll just pour up some of the unflavored 20mg into my smaller 3ml or 6ml bottles and add flavors to those as the mood hits me. I will add about 6-8 drops to my 3ml or about 15 drops to my 6ml bottles..of whatever flavor I'm craving. This makes it very easy to change my mind or tweak a flavor and it doesn't require all the calculations at that point...very simple. I like to blend flavors too...usually at least 2-3 drops would be some tobacco flavor then a mix of maybe a coffee, caramel, or some other flavor.

My fav tobacco flavors are Desert Ship and Maxboro Ultimate. I did not like the Cowboy or the Camel Ultimate flavors.

I also use Caramel, Chocolate, Vanilla Madagascar, Apple Pie, Vienna Cream, Espresso, Cappuccino and Peanut. I like these because most of them blend well together and they don't conflict with my other daily addiction..coffee..LOL! I also add a drop or two of PA's Cotton Candy or Sweetener if I'm really wanting a sweet punch(not often).

I've tried many other flavors early on and some I liked..some I didn't..but I found that even if I liked something(Lorann's Rootbeer)...if it was an atty-killer it wasn't worth it.

Anyway..that's my vape...simple and easy to manage.

WOW Wolf & Emonty you guys vape very much the same as I. I too do mostly all my own juice. Wolf I have been buying from Levy for the last year, he has the best Nic I have seen to date, it is sooooo clean, it looks like thick water its so clean, only difference is I buy mine in 100mg

ggero..glad you like it and that I could help! good luck!!

Emonty...I'll check it out...I'm about to need to do another flavor order!

mwa...I really thought about using the 100mg just for the cost savings..but I'm still a bit worried about the high level of it..just for spill issues...we have pets..etc. Plus I'm in the process of slowly weaning myself off the nic entirely..so my current 500ml of 50mg should last me quite awhile..maybe even to the point of being nic-free. I have no intention however of stopping vaping..LOL!
