Are consistently decent with their concentrated flavorings at a fair price

Money is an issue for the first time in a long bit so i don't need any gourmet flavorings

Just a couple decent vendors that have decent flavor for a fair price. (Apple being my fav)

Primarily vape fruits with occasional asweet vanilla


Also the place i was going to go to for nic sold out of all their nicotine -

I wanted biggest bang for the buck, figuring the higher concentrations the better but i know how to price it per mg anyways... I vape a good amount a day - i was doing 20mls a day ! But i think my premade juice vendor had something serious wrong with their nicotine cause i ordered the same strength 36mg from mount baker vapor and it nearly knocked my socks off -

I truly apologize to the community as i really like to do my own research and not regurgitate previous topics but my questions would be :

1. Good vendor(s) for the concentrated flavorings at a fair price.
2. Good nicotine vendor(s) and if i vape 10mls a day of 36 mg 500ml vat will not go bad right?
3. Last minute tips and suggestions ( already plan on buying bottles, a pippette, gloves) - anything else ?
4. I guess this will depend on flavoring vendor but just to five me an idea as to how much to buy would 15% flavoring be a ballpark figure?

Thank you so so much !!!

Since my nic vendor i wanted to use was out of stock i just opted for ez diy this time with a pg/vg blend from mount baker -236ml for 29 bucks more expensive than true diy but cheaper than premade - but i need to order some flavorings for this nic like now!!! :)

If you need stuff like now, now, now, I'd suggest RTS Vapes and go with some Hangsen fruits. Their Apple Mix is good, not straight apple, it's a spiced apple. OK, they call it Apple Cinnamon Cranberry at RTS but it's the same. Have not had regular apple. Juicy Peach is good too. Percentages are about 5-7% on average.

itPre made VG/PG /Nic is a problem to me.......but may work for you. As you add flavorings which are for the most part in PG, your nic and VG will go down according to how much flavoring you use. Some juices may need 8% flavor.....some 12%....some 20%......so you Nic/PG/VG will all be affected as you mix. Anyway, you may have all this worked out somehow. I couldnt do it.

I am guessing that you tried to order Nic from Wizard and they were sold out. Click the "notify me" button on the nic you want....then when they notify you.....you have about 6 to 8 hours to order it. Or the second best place (to me) to order..(and are normally in stock) is Freedomsmoke. They have good nic but are higher than Wizard labs.

The best price on TFA flavoring (the flavor apprectice)...for the "pinky finger size" bottles, they are 8ml and are 1.50 from Wizard labs...90% of their flavors are in stock....some arent. If you like TFA (my favorite but do use other flavorings from other companies sometime) and like cetain flavors you have tried from Wizard, then order direct from them. Direct from TFA is cheaper inly when you reach the 1OZ size bottle (30ml) they qre 4.50 to 5 bucks. The real deal is TFA's bulk sizes (4OZ) and are 8 to 10 bucks each.

Most of TFA is very concentrated. Cappella's have a few flavors that are better than TFA (not many but theres a few that are superior like vanilla custard and tangerine).. but Cappela is expensive (24.00 shipped for the same 4 oz large size.)

There is a lot more to it than what Ive mentioned, but then again, after you get in the swing of things, its easy. My juices are better than most store bought and certainly superior than anything MT Vapor has ever made. Their juices are what gave me the "push" into DIY.

You can tell Im a TFA guy for thre most part, and although they do have some flavorings that are crap, for the most part they are very good flavorings. I suggest reading through the TFA Recipies thread from one end to the other before you order anything...... or the Hangsen thread, etc.... I know you said you dont have time to research, but DIY in my opinion is the ONE thing you need to read and read about that will keep you from wasting money if you read through a bunch of these treads. I think I would jump right in to the recipie threads. They have the best insites on whats good and whats not....tips and tricks. Other threads seem to end up putting up cat pictures and talking about unrelated crap.

Its my two cents anyway. Good luck !!


Oh.... Im a fruit vaper myself and have to please two other vapers in the house that vape fruit mixes as well. I wish I had a really stand out apple for you. I havent gone there yet except for bubble gum flavors.

This is what Im talking about. Usually only in DIY threads you will find from old timers like glasseye who knows about this certain "apple flavor" that tastes good as a stand alone flavor. This stuff is hard to answer in one post.

I love the tiny bottles of flavoring at Wizard Labs. It is the best way to build up a flavor library in a hurry for the least amount of cash. I also prefer their nicotine but when they are out & I want it now, I have used Nude Nicotine. They are also very reasonably priced and a good, clear product. Their packaging isn't nearly as OCD as Wizard's but my stuff made it without issues.

I usually get my PG from Essential Depot on Amazon and pick up VG from Walmart or my local grocery store. Some farm & home type stores or veterinary supply places also have PG at very reasonable rates. Tractor Supply is mentioned frequently but there aren't any near me.

You'll also want to get some syringes--1 ml for flavorings & sweeteners, 3, 6, 10, 12 for PG & VG. I would get regular gauge needles for the flavorings but they're not really necessary for the PG & VG. If you prefer to use needles for that, get the largest gauge (horse size) for those. You might also want to pick up some little mixing beakers, an eye dropper or 2, pipettes, latex gloves & possibly safety goggles. I have all that extra stuff but only really use the eye dropper for sweetener, koolada and ethyl maltol. I just don't like the pipettes & I do my mixing right in the bottle so no need for the cute little beakers. The little coffee stirrer paddles from McDonald's are also handy (and free!). You'll also want little plastic bottles if you don't already have a supply. 3 or 5 ml for test batches, larger for your new vapeable creations.
