I just brought 3 bottle of premix e-juice (all tobacco favor) and 2 concentrated flavor from Vapor Renu. Out of the 5, I only like 1 of the concentrated flavor (pina colada). Is this still consider a good buy. Please say "yes". That make me feel better.

I had tried ording sample from different suppliers. It just get overwhelming to taste 5 or 10 different flavor at the same time (over a week or 2). By the time i try the 4th flavor, i can't remember what the 1st one taste like. I also tried DIY. It just never come out right. So far, the ones that i like are

MoCha (DIY)from perfumer apprentice
Water melon (DIY) from LorAnn
555 (premix) from freedom smoke
USAmix (premix) from Hoosier ecig supply

Any recommendation? I tried couple of FlavourArt tobacco flavor, didn't like them. But i heard good thing about FlavourArt. Maybe just the flavor i choosed wasn't really for me. Should i just stick with those for now?

Vaperenu is very inexpensive but yeah I had the same problem. Try steeping them - shake up, take off the cover and pop out the dropper top (use a tissue and sort of tilt the tip sideways and pull up), and let them set overnight somewhere safe from kids and pets. Next day push the dropper tip back in and recap and try again. If you still don't like htme you could try again in a couple of weeks.

In the beginning I liked Turkish blends - sort of nutty and pungent and reminded me of a freshly opened pack. FreedomSmokeUSA Desert Ship is one and a more delicate and complex one is Backwoods Brew Casablanca.

But then I liked (and still like) cocoa tobaccos and my fave is Vapor4Life WOWbacco which tastes mostly like cocoa and has strong TH. A nice thin clear juice too - no sediment like some chocolates and cocoas have.

Re juices you don't like - get some good blender juices you can rescue them with. If you have a big bottle of a plain tobacco you like and a big bottle of sweet vanilla (I actually use Tasty Vapor Butter Cream) and a big bottle of a sweet fruit like peach or something then you can rescue almost anything by just mixing it 50/50 w/ ones of those. At least make it vapable so it's not a waste.

Re DIY - there is a whole DIY section on ECF - read the guides which include recommended percentages for many flavorings and notes on which flavors are NOT vapable (some have chemicals that shouldn't be vaped, or are oil-based and don't mix well etc), recommended percentages are listed for some etc etc. Anything you got at OneStopDIYShop should be fine - they only carry flavors that are OK to vape though they don't have all of them. And when you are trying to mix your own juices, first try a 1ml or 3ml batch w/ no nic.

Re goods buys - That USA_Mix is most likely Chinese juice (Dekang). You may be able to get it cheaper at LiteCigUSA.net. PureVapes and Liberty-Flights.com may have good prices on small bottles of Flavourart tobacco flavors. And OneStopDIYShop carries a selection of 3 flavoring brands. I do not know if Lorann's is the best Mocha. See how it's rated in the DIY guides (if the Loranns are rated with stars)
