Thanks a lot!

The thing is, people vary a great deal in their perceptions of the flavors used in DIY, let alone in their tastes for them. So while there are some classic recipes, you might find that some of the most praised recipes taste just awful to _you_. One of the best reasons to get into DIY is to be able to tailor juice to your own tastes (and equipment,) but finding out what you like sometimes involves dumping some batches down the sink. Luckily the ingredients are pretty cheap, so a completely fail 5 mil tester will probably only cost you ~twenty cents USD, or less.

Here's a simple one that almost everyone likes, after a week or so, and that can be vaped sooner than that:

Fizzmustard's Bombie's 'Nana Cream:
5.0% LA Banana Cream
3.0% TFA Dragon Fruit
7.0% TFA Strawberry

It's pretty sweet, even without added sweetener, more than I happen to like, tbh. But if you're coming from commercial juices, which are often _insanely_ sweetened it's a good place to start, unless you have a hard time tasting strawberry in juice. It is best after a week, but it's vapeable after just a night of steeping, if you shake it well.

Here's another one I like that can be vaped not long after mixing (Backwoods Lemonade)

Backwoods Lemonade:

6% LA Lemonade
0.75% FA Lemon Sicily
3% FA Forest Fruit

That combination of lemons is a really nice base for a sweet sort of "mix" lemonade, and could be used with all sort of fruits and berries. The FA Forest Fruit is so good that I just tend to stick to the recipe though. I'm actually fonder of more astringent lemon flavors, so I'm playing with the Inawera lemons right now, but again this is a nice bridge from very sweet commercial flavors.

There's a world of recipes out there, and you'll find, as you mix them, that some things work for you, and some things don't. Good luck!

You can usually google clone recipes.

You can even buy flavor concentrates of some of the very best UK liquids too. The actual flavor component might be more expensive, but in the scheme of things they work out low stress and actually taste exactly right.

Some 'clones' are quite accurate, but some of these 'pro' mixers are just a bunch of show-offs claiming you need 9 ingredients and 0.75% of this or that. I can't be doing with that nonsense.
A 3 or 4 flavor clone or 'original' recipe is a good place to start.

Some of the flavors used in DIY are _really_ concentrated. They're not used at 0.75% because people are showing off (at least not always) but because they would either take over the recipe or taste foul at higher percentages.
