I just got 8 different flavors that i researched a bit and got recommendations for, but finding the suggested % can be all over the place.
Some may be high some may be low but if anyone has experience or suggestions I'd appreciate it:

Flavour Art:
Guava
Lychee
Mango
Passion Fruit

Hangsen
Juicy Peach
Mango
Pineapple

TIA

I figure I'll go back and look in the threads some and/or start about about 3-4%?

Hangsen - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/440440-hangsen-thread.html is one. There is a FA thread out there, I just did not see it.

5-7% on those Hangsens is as close as any of us EVER get to a guarantee! Use 'em in the 5-6% range for light additives; but if using them with 'heavy flavors' go to the 6-7% range.

We're learning, relearning and relearning again...start LOW-LOW on the FA's (around 2%ish).

thanks w2rc, like you i look to try the best available and do it as right as possible.

is there a US source for Inawera?

'Last time we read the Inawera thread, there was no US source, but the shipping cost was LOW. Us? We're maxed out with flavors we have barely smelled, let alone utilized, so we haven't yet tried Inawera (the reviews are great, tho).

Hansen Juicy Peach I go with about 15% the way I like it. You might start with 10% but if you like it strong go with 15%.

Been meaning to update: getting ready to try the FA…. at 3% max

Hangsen so far:
wow

at 5% on each so far;
thanks Doots, I'll go up on the JuicyPeach; imo it needs it….

but yeah; after 2 day steep: awesome spot on. Best I've tried so far.

LoL, I have so many different Peach flavors (VZ VZSC CAP TFA HA FA)

Pineapple takes the cake… strong and spot on.
Mango is mellow but so pleasing… (Cap has a more realistic flavor but Hangsen seems nicer)
JPeach…. a tad more real fruit flavor than the others

just put my Inawera order in

Looking for good Guava and Papaya…. actually forgot to look for those - or they don't have it (Inawera, Hangsen)?

Good to know I went with 5% and it was very good but a little to weak. I'm going to try 8% but I've been to busy vaping it to find time to adjust it. The hangsen juice peach is very good.

I stumbled on a really good recipe for elder captain

7% elder captain
4% TFA TA (Added from a 10% concentrate soluton)
.5% EM
.5% marshmallw
1% Koolata.

Turned out to be a nice thick slighty sweet vape. I don't normally use koolata in my tobaccos but being that I have a chest cold I wanted to try a little coolness to help with my congestion. It actually added a nice refreshing twist without being overly cool. Seems to have brightened the entire mix up.

I like the Mango like i said above, but i find Cap Mango has more of that real mango taste… between the two, i couldn't say one was better because of that… because i enjoy the Hangsens a tad better for some reason.

so I added some Cap (15% mix) to my Hangsens Mango (5%) and wow… now we're talking Mango.

The HA Pineapple is spot on but a bit strong even at 5%… I like to mix it with my Cap Lychee (15%)…
I have both mixed so I added together premixed. 15% Pineapple, 85% Lychee (% of total)…pretty good

In other words, i made 2 mixes alone and mixed Ha:Cap aprox 85/15

The HA Pineapple is spot on but a bit strong even at 5%… I like to mix it with my Cap Lychee (15%)…
I have both mixed so I added together premixed. 15% Pineapple, 85% Lychee (% of total)…pretty good

I made a mix of 85% of the Ha Mango and 15% of the Cap Mango… the Ha is more "pleasing" imo :) but the Cap has that real taste so just enough to give it that.

I am testing my FA flavors and am blown away that they are at least very pleasing. All at 3%.
The Passion Fruit is spot on… very nice !
Mango is very pleasing.
Lychee too. Guava ditto.
Lots of potential here.

HA Juicey Peach is a sterling winner imo… its the best Peach i've tried so far ( i just got my Inawera WG Peach in so that will be a test )

HA JP is so good by itself that if you mix it with something "good" it makes it better!

FA Guava is a mystery to me… seems to need something, but imo doesn't mix well either.

HA Pineapple is pretty strong… and spot on, but i need to mix it with something since its so dominant.
