My DIY juices suck. Advice appreciated.

Afraid mine's done with Natures Flavors (NF) coffee & tea flavoring system. 9% caramel (2.7 ml per 30), 11% cappuccino (3.3 ml per 30). You can substitute Capella's flavorings, but not sure about TFA.
(NF is pricey at small quantities, and kind of slow on delivery, but their flavors are generally good and they are VG/alc-based organic flavorings, important if you ever mix for people with PG sensitivity.)

How long does it take them to get the package out the door? Going to place an order with them next week....

Pretty sure mine have taken 2 - 3 weeks total, from order to delivery, on 3 different orders. The quality, in my opinion, is worth it, just can't expect instant turnaround.

In that case, it's a good thing I've got other supplies -- just not PG free.

Boodle,

Here's a nice recipe. You can substitute just about any flavor in the Caramels place and it tastes really good:

5 ml juice
10 drops FlavorWest Caramel Candy
4 drops Perfumers Bavarian Cream
4drops FlavouArts Cookie
4 drops Perfumers Sweetener

The Bav Cream + Cookie + sweetener have a nice danish taste to them and it makes a great base to add a 4th flavor to. You can add any fruit, nut, vanilla, choc, coffee to them and it will taste good. Just adjust the 10 drops to less if it's a strong 4th flavor

Finally, is there any way to cleanse your tastebuds like your palate? Mine are spazzed. Pardon the whine but thanks very much to anyone that can help. I promise to pay it forward when I get it figured out.

I had this same problem when I started vaping until I discovered that I kept my tastebuds numbed with a strong cinnamony flavor I vaped a majority of the time. It was the only thing I could get a flavor from until my tastebuds grew back. Once I started using a Neti Pot for my sinuses and quit the cinnamon, things improved. Another thing that can damage your TBs is full-strength Listerine (should be 50/50 with water); also hot spicy foods. You can speed up the repair of them by doing salt-water mouth rinses 1ce or 2ce a day (alkalizes) and take 500mg vitamin C every 4 hrs - you should do this anyway if you're detoxing. Hopefully, your tastebuds will even out - they renew themselves every 10 days.

If you're still having probs after a couple of weeks, maybe you could do some research on tastebuds. Some google words are:
Ageusia - no sense of taste; Dysgeusia - any impairment of the sense of taste; Hypogeusia - diminished sense of taste; Parageusia - distorted sense of taste.

I'd also add that if you are sensitive to PG or any of the flavorings in your mix, you're taste buds might get inflamed and your sense of taste would be diminished.
