I have heard nothing but good things about Wizard Labs and they are in my home state. This will be my first diy order and although the flavors are not expensive I don't want a bunch that I will never use and I don't want to miss any that I should have. I am not into the fruity super sweet flavors I lean more to a tobacco based liquid. All day vapes for me include ry4, tribeca, and gorilla juice. Below is what I have chosen so far is there anything I'm missing also is the 555 tobacco a good choice?

Thanks, Scott

I order from Wizard as well. They are quite close to me by car so it helps. So far, I have had only excellent experiences when ordering.

As for the 555, this is one of those "either you love it or you hate it" type flavors. If you have tried BWB 555 you will find this to be virtually identical. The only thing you have to look out for is the fact that it's very overpowering. In other words, if you're gonna mix it with other flavors be very conservative as even a few drops can drown out everything else.

Good luck!

Ry4 Double is good, but it's not quite like some vendors sell. You may want to consider the RY4 Asian, as well. It's the one that I have not tried, but I read that it's supposed to be more caramel flavored. The regular RY4 was awful, IMO. Very floral.

I'd recommend some Ethyl Maltol Solution (same as Cotton Candy,) or Ethyl Maltol crytals. I've got 1 oz of the crystals, and it'll make several bottles worth of liquid, but you have to mix it yourself.

I also like the Tobacco Absolute Blend (PG). It's a strange, filmy liquid, with a mild tobacco taste and a bunch of ethyl maltol. I do like it plain, but it's pretty sweet. It's probably better when mixed with a sharper or drier tobacco flavor.

If you like coffee flavors, their Caramel Cappuccino is very economical. It's a bit bitter, and is better with some caramel candy and/or EM. It's incredibly strong, so I use about 2 drops per 10ml batch of liquid, with some other flavors mixed in.

Whatever you do, don't make any assumptions about how much to use. Of the TFA flavors that I have, the dilution varies between 0.2% and 12% between flavors for my tastes. I'd recommend starting low, and going up or down from there.

I am sure you will have a great time with it. Just be patient though if your first mix doesn't come out exactly the way you expect. I went through that and now it's going really well.

By the way, an earlier poster mentioned the strawberry flavor. If you like strawberry, it is an awesome choice as well and pretty easy to mix.

What are your thoughts on steeping diy juices? If I don't care for it at first will steeping help?

I make my juices and leave them to steep for a week or more. The RY4 Double is better left to steep but you can vape it soon after mixing just may need a little higher %. Give your mix a big shake after mixing and try putting the bottle in hot tap water for a fast steep (check bottle doesn't warp) leave until water goes cold, shake a few times if you can while its in the hot water. Good luck :)
