hello everyone

[solidsnakeonaplane]

Hello everyone,

My name is Wes, and I'm a small time mixer in Columbia SC. I've been on the forums for a while but never created an account so I finally did.

Currently using an ipv3 with a smok vct pro sub tank (everyone has their opinions on this brand but it works for me), & a doge v4.

I'm posting here to introduce myself and just to get my first 5 posts out of the way so I can start a thread in the diy section for liquid discussions.

Nice to meet everyone!

Thank you for the links! I know a lot of people using flavor art, tfa (tpa), capella, newport, inara (I think that's it), nature's flavors flavor west, vaping zone, and wizard labs. Has anyone ever used best flavors? I can't find any info on the forums.

Hello and welcome to the forum Wes. Glad to have you here!

I have never hear of Best Flavors.

Welcome Wes!

Hello and welcome to the forum Wes. Glad to have you here!

I have never hear of Best Flavors.

They're a subsidiary of nature's flavors from my understanding here's the site


Advanced Search Result - Best Flavors | The Flavor Company

They're super concentrates vg ethyl alcohol base. I'm finding it really hard to mix with them but my peaches and cream at a 30/70 pg/vg blend is fantastic!

Guess the link didn't work. It's

Bestflavors.com search "vaping" when you get to the page

Here's your link: BestFlavors - Vaping

In general, how concentrated are they? I use a lot of FA and many single favors I use 2-3%

Powerful. I mix at 4% max with an 20/80 pg/vg mix. 5% it begins to tastes medicinal and waxy

 

[solidsnakeonaplane]

Currently I have (all diacetyl free),

Butter, mango, zabaglione, cream, peach melba, strawberry, white chocolate, mocha, guava, and cake batter.

Peach guava cream at 4% (total not each) 2:1:1 ratio is wonderfuland amazing all day vape.

Problem I'm finding I'm not getting the flavors to have that "rich full body" profile found in many craft line of liquids. I've been mixing with these for about a year I'm getting better but I think I'm missing something.

 

[solidsnakeonaplane]

Where do you all order inawera flavors from? Tfa, wizard labs, nature's flavors, capella, fw, and newport are easily accessible. Inawera I'm having trouble finding

 

[Hans Wermhat]

I've only been mixing my own for a couple of weeks, but I read somewhere that mixing different brands of the same flavor will give you that rich flavor you are looking for. I'm going to try it in my next batch. Also, check out One Stop DIY Shop. They have better prices and shipping cost than Wizzard Labs.

 

[solidsnakeonaplane]

Thank you hans. I purchased some raspberry lorann candy oil (it was on sale for $1). I'm going to mix with that and see how it turns out.

 

[Hans Wermhat]

OSDIY shope has some house flavors that are awesome as well. The blue raz slushie and pink lemonade are delish. I mix at 20% in 80/20 PG/VG. The pink lemonade only needs to steep about 30 mins, and the blue raz only about 4 hours. The waxy/perfumey taste you were talking about in the other thread can be eliminated by steeping for a couple of hours with the cap off.

 

[solidsnakeonaplane]

I've been using heat plate and magnetic stirrer in borosilicate beakers. I just can't seem to remove the waxy medicinal flavor.

 

[Hans Wermhat]

I don't suggest heating your juice...ever. It breaks down the nic liquid and makes it turn brown, which stains your cotton and shortens it's lifespan. I use cheap plastic graduated cylinders and let it steep in bottles with the lids and spouts off. If that doesn't work, try a different brand. I know Flavor West has a strawberry flavor that tastes waxy no matter what you do with it.
