Making My First Flavor Order from TPA/TFA

[slider]

I want to make my first order from TPA. So far, I like a lot of the fruity flavors I've tried.

I like the following:
Hawaiian punch with a cooling feel to the vape
Pina Colada
Raspberry Cheesecake
Orange Dream [Machine]

What flavors/sizes should I include in the order? and/or what flavors/sizes would you order from TPA if you were going to make your first order [all over again]? I'm looking to spend between $50 and $100.

I ordered from rtsvapes.com all they do is diy e juice and got 48 mg pg,vg, and four tfa flavors for about 70 bucks but the only flavors i have tried are fruity also but had great luck mixing the flavors. Love tfa flavors! !

Check out the DIY E-Liquid section. It's helped me a ton and there's more info in there than anyone could ever hope to absorb.

I'll post to the DIY forum when I gain access to it.... If someone could copy my post there it would be appreciated.

I just want a good "base" to go off of. For example I've read that cotton candy can be used with a lot of different flavors so I'm guessing I should get a larger bottle of that??? Are there certain essentials flavors I will need?

Thats quite the order. Many prefer to get samples first to avoid winding up with a bunch of flavors you cant even vape.
I'm impressed at your jumping right in, bigtime. Thats a lot of liquid without knowing whether you like it or not.

Hi Slider,

That is an impressive order; plenty to blend and mix with...

Make sure you do your homework, and plenty of it. It's easy to end up with some bad experiences with DIY if not, and TPA flavors are known to be touchy to work in some instances.

Many have personal methods with DIY. That being said, it's still important to stick with some base factors and keep it safe. With a little patience, which I'm still learning myself, you'll go far. Again, keep reading and studying the forum; there's alot of expert knowledge there that will guide you along.

I intend to do the same.

I did a decent amount of research in the TPA forum. I decided on small quantaties of the "touchy" flavors, and larger quantaties of the flavors that were used in multiple recipes (except Pina Colada, which I like). Cotton Candy & Koolada are my main enhancers. I'm hoping the Hawaiian Punch with Koolada mixed with a 70/30 base will taste like the Hawaiian Punch I got from NorCalVapes. I'm taking a risk on the Pina Colada but I love what it should taste like so hopefully it will work.

I looked at the sample packs, but decided against it since they had a lot of flavors I wouldn't think I would like so I opted to go for mostly solid flavors that had positive reviews on the forum. I have a small amount of mixing experience using LorAnns and this is my first time trying TPA.

For those that care, my total before shipping and tax was $83 (so just within the price margin I was looking for).

I realize this is rather old and I'm sure you've used all of these flavorings by now but just for future warning(if you still don't know this and you value your health), a few of those flavors are not intended to be vaped.

Key lime is an essential oil base which is not good to inhale. Try to stick with Graham Cracker(clear) as it doesn't contain caramel color which is carcinogenic. The Vanilla Custard contains custard ingredients that are widely known NEVER to inhale. Linda warns on the Vanilla Custard description about these custard notes. Please ALWAYS read the fine print instead of impulse buying whatever sounds good. There are way too many DIYers and even juice vendors who overlook safety for enjoyment.

Like I said you could very well already know this by now but it never hurts to get the information out there. We as a community should thrive to make vaping as safe as possible.
