Goingot buy a lot but new to DIY, please check my flavor order list? Is this a good variety for stock? What else would you add?

[vocr]

Happyvapers kindly opened shipping to me so I could get the ego booster. I already ordered that and other things, but noticed they also offer a wonderful variety of premium flavors. Till now, only the so-called "China" juices/flavors have been available to me to order and buy.

Given this opportunity, I would like to order a lot of these premium flavors, but I am a total newbie. It will take about a month for me to get these and baseline shipping is expensive. Think of it like when some of you order stuff from China . You buy a lot, but don't want get a lot of something you will end up not wanting or need (wasting money).

So I am looking for some flavor buying advise to "stock my cupboard" so to speak .

So far, I tend to like cake/candy and fruit flavors. tobacco flavors are take it or leave it for me. Have not had experience with menthol flavors yet (except for one bad experience) and interested in that. I don't even know if there are other types of flavors beyond those .

I have already ordered PG and VG and I have big bottles of 36mg and 60mg nic juice ordered. I have syringes already and have pipettes coming as well as lots of empty bottles.

I spent the last couple of hours over on happyvapers' website filing my cart in a state of protracted confusion. Finally gave up and came here to beg for help, this is what my cart looks like:

FlavourArt - Melon Cantaloupe
FlavourArt - Pineapple
FlavourArt - Vanilla -Tahity
FlavourArt - Watermelon
FlavourArt - Butterscotch
FlavourArt - Caramel Sugar
FlavourArt - Sweet Chestnut
FlavourArt - Cinnamon
FlavourArt - Citrus Mix
FlavourArt - Cookie
FlavourArt - White Grape
FlavourArt - Honey
FlavourArt - Tiramisu
FlavourArt - Mangosteen
FlavourArt - Roasted Chicken
Perfumer's Apprentice - Sweet Cream
Perfumer's Apprentice - Bavarian Cream
Perfumer's Apprentice - Brown Sugar Concentrated
Perfumer's Apprentice - Dulce de Leche
Perfumer's Apprentice - Ripe Banana
Perfumer's Apprentice - Blueberry Extra
FlavourArt - Arctic Menthol
Capella - Double Chocolate
Capella - French Toast
Capella - Vanilla Custard
Capella - Chocolate Fudge Brownie
Capella - Grandma's Apple Pie
Capella - Sweet Tangerine
Capella - Sweet Strawberry
Capella - Boston Cream Pie
Capella - Blueberry Cinnamon Crumble
Capella - Chocolate Glazed Doughnut
Capella - Banana Split

I have access to a commercial pastry chef (works for Red Ribbon, a big local bakery chain) who is willing to help me make flavor combos, but has no clue about ejuices or vaping and she is very doubtful she can really apply her skills to this. I want to give her lots of things to work with (and lots of positive encouragement ).

What would you remove? What would you add? How much of each bottle should I buy (3ml bottles are the base). Are 4 bottles of each to much or too little?

BTW, here is their website: https://www.happyvaper.com/e_Liquid_s/22.htm?searching=Y&sort=13&cat=22&show=400&page=1.

Thank you very much for any help!

Buy a lot of the FlavourArt Cookie, it's very versatile since you can make many combinations with it.

Vanilla will mix with many other flavors. Can you also get other types such as Vanilla Bourbon?

I wouldn't stock up on Roasted Chicken. Never heard of anyone who really liked this flavor.

I would buy FlavourArt Whipped Cream in place of Perfumer's Apprentice Sweet Cream if I could.

Consider adding FlavourArt Coconut if you can, this is one I use a lot.

 

[donnah]

you might want to add some sort of sweetener to your order. And cotton candy flavor is used as a sweetener also. The capella fudge brownie is really good but it needs sweetener.

 

[Beans]

That's a great list, almost identical to my first DIY Bonanza. Hypnotic Mist and MTS vape wizard are 2 more must haves.

You could probably ditch the Chicken though, I got bacon and there is nothing even slightly good about the meat vapes.

 

[Kurt]

Great list! This is quite the haul!

Others I like a lot:

Capella Cappuccino
Capella Caramel

PA Vanilla Swirl
PA Vanillin Crystals 10% in PG
PA Pear (mmmmm!)

Loranns I like:

Bavarian Cream (very different than PA's, great with fruits)
Caramel (different than Capella)
Cheesecake (I like this better than PAs)

I also do not recommend meat flavors, not because they might not be good, but because meat flavorings are a risk to lung tissue.

There are other flavors I like, but you will be busy enough with the ones you get now. I suggest getting 3 and 12 mL syringes for measuring volumes of liquids. Drops vary in size too much. And start with 3 mL test juices. I make a bunch of them, and then the ones I vape up completely I scale up. This is because it generally takes a bit of time to see which ones you like the first day and also the second and third day. Some are great at first, but get cloying or too much after a bit of vaping.

Have fun!

I'd suggest PA graham cracker as well

 

[guido61]

Something you cant miss from FA is Bitter Wizard and MTS Vape Wizard.
they are not flavors, but both are needed to correct some mixing.
Bitter wizard correct the sweetness, and Vape Wizard is to make mixing "smoother".

 

[vocr]

Thank you everyone! I will follow all your great advice here and add/switch around everything suggested. Sadly the vape wizard is out of stock. Reading the description, that does look like a must have too .

The roasted chicken is gone . I was thinking of picking one of the meats to try, but it didn't seem very attractive to begin with. Thanks for the tip about potential lung issues with that as well.

What is a sweetener? Besides cotton candy (I'm not a fan of real cotton candy) what would other sweeteners be?

I have a 3ml syringe but no 12ml. I will track a few down and get them.

How much of each flavor would you all recommend getting? Besides the Capella (which has a 12ml option), everything else is only available in 3ml bottles. How many 3ml bottles of each flavor would you recommend I buy? I have nothing right now, so this is stocking from 0.

Thanks again!

I'd add PA's vanilla bean ice cream, FA's Malted Milk, PA honeysuckle, PA pear & PA peach

I'd probably ditch the chicken, vanilla tahiti & mangosteen.

As far as how much to purchase..........
write down the flavors you plan to use in your recipes............
if you find vanilla bean ice cream in alot of your recipes, then buy more than one bottle. However, if you find that it's only in one recipe that you plan to make, then just buy the 3ml.

I started with 3ml of everything I every flavor that I purchased..........mixed, then knew which flavors I needed to purchase more of to make the recipes that I liked.

fruit goes well with menthol

 

[Trioxin]

I'd definitely suggest PA honeysuckle as well. It seems to go great mixed with a number of flavors as well as on its own. PA's pomegranate is another personal fave, and one I haven't been able to quit vaping this summer.

 

[vocr]

Thanks guys! Seems Happyvapes doesn't offer the malted milk . The rest I will add to the list .

I don't actually have any recipes. I am looking for more general "stocking up" so my ex (the pastry chef) has stuff to play with to mix stuff up for me. So for a more general "play" and produce a usable amount of good mixes she makes, as opposed to recipe focused order, how much of each flavor might that be? I will definitely get more of things suggested strongly in this thread (vanilla, cookie, honeysuckle, etc), but as a baseline amount for the other flavors?

For example, is 6ml of a flavor enough to play with in a half dozen recipes and then produce, say, 30ml of 1 good recipe that comes out of playing?

 

[bmwjen]

6ml should work.
I know when I ordered 3ml of stuff or a dram of others, that after I played around I was cutting it REALLY close to the amounts I needed to make the actually good recipe.

 

[bmwjen]

sweetner- ethyl maltol, stevia,
cotton candy is ethyl maltol i'm told..........i've personally never used it that way.
for me vape wizard is a must
LA's Tart n Sour is great for bringing out fruit flavors.

 

[vocr]

Thanks bmwjen!! You just closed my questions out .

 

[ella]

I just wanted to add that Mangosteen is at the top of my worst flavours list. I got it from Happy Vapor's too.

 

[Chemcat]

I'd like to add that as far as recipes go there is a great program by Breaktru for formulating recipes. It also has a ton of built in recipes that you can try and you can also save/document your own. You can find it here: eJuice Me Up

 

[vocr]

Mangosteen is off the list. Too bad because I really like real mangosteen.

Downloaded that app, looks perfect!

Thanks!!
