Most popular by far are LorAnn, The Perfumers (Flavour's) Apprentice, FlavourArt and Capella. Maybe in that order?

I think it'd be great to have a chemist work on flavours just for vapers. We're currently using food based stuff and the next step is to have a line of concentrated flavours that work even better for vaping. Looking at how flavours change when 'atomized' with PG/VG in a PV, seeing if there's any tricks to improve sensation or particular molecules/arromatics(?) that don't work like they do in food and spoil a flavour if used for vaping.

Maybe look into someone putting together some recipes with your flavours that you can have available on your website. Lots of people are looking for recipes and it can get confusing when all different brands are used.

Should ship internationally as well :) there's more people into vaping than just the US.

Can't think of anything else offhand. Maybe look at where the stumbling blocks with DIY are and try to smooth those over to introduce more people to it through your products. Have some unique stuff...

I agree with Chrismp - if they are willing to develop flavors in vg specifically designed to be atomized that would be awesome. I would also be more apt to buy if there was at least a pack of samples available if not a sample size of each one individually. I buy flavors in 1 or 2 dram size for example.

I also think it is great that they offer VG flavors in a great selection and would also love to see smaller sizes so I can try out lots because from what I am hearing of those who tried the larger sizes of the coffee flavorings they are pretty awesome. I just hope there will be enough feedback here in the end to convince the flavor chemist to make at least a "vapeable" list for us because we can never have enough flavor sources, especially top quality ones!!!

Not impressed with Natures Flavors. Flavoring was weak and had an alcohol/chemical taste to them. YMMV. I was sent 5 flavors to try out by one of the popular DIY sites to test. 6 other ECFers were sent samples as well. Blueberry Cheesecake, Strawberry Shortcake, Macadamia Nut, Cake Batter, and White Chocolate were the flavors. The vendor was looking for feedback before adding NF to inventory. They never added NF to their site. Here is a link to that "tester thread".

Also, there is now way I would pay $7.95 for shipping, especially if I was only ordering a few flavors.

I've been using their vanilla, black cherry, hazelnut, banana, strawberry, caramel, cappuccino for over a year, in popular blends. Their cappuccino is excellent, and vanilla is way up there for me in terms of must-have. I've got a few other berries that I haven't done much with, but it's more due to my having a nice slate of eliquids than any miss on the flavorings part. Their chocolate didn't do much for me, though that was also early in my DIY, and I didn't spent much time working with it.

I started using them when doing some mixing for 0 PG eliquids, now they are my preferred ones unless I need to do something in 0 VG.

None of the flavors I use were ones from the test, so I've been fortunate in my picks :)

Thanks for the info dripdaddy, I wasn't aware of that...wish I had known about it at the time!

if you order from natures flavors to diy your own juice..........PLEASE order from the tea & coffee flavor line. This is the stuff you want to DIY with. NOT the other stuff.

BTW, this is the ONLY flavoring that I DIY with.

All of their flavorings in the tea & coffee flavoring line come in amber glass bottles and are nicely wrapped. I also order bulk tea, water flavoring, stevia, & other natural goods when I place a flavoring order with Natures Flavors. They always send excellent free samples. Not just a 3ml bottle to try.........I mean good stuff.

Who wouldn't want more flavoring options for their DIY arsenal? I wouldn't personally care if it were VG, PG, or Alcohol based.

I definitely need a "vaping sample" size for me to buy in. The most I've ever paid for a small amount of mix was $7 and I was done with that. $5 maybe...a couple dollars and now you are talking a guaranteed win for someone that makes so many juice possibilities; Nearly everyone should be able to find something they like given an affordable variety at that price point, and lo and behold: they'll buy a bigger one next time.

BTW, what's wrong with Citric Acid as an ingredient? I thought that one was OK..

Can you give me an idea what percentage you use in your butterscotch mix?

Nothing now. I found out NF uses diacetyl in their buttery and caramel flavorings. This is really really really really bad for your lungs. I have SADLY abandoned all use of their butterscotch ;-(((((((((((
