If you have nothing left to vape, then you gotta vape Whatever you have.

But what will happen is after a Little Trial and Error, you'll get 3 or 4 Recipes that you like and are Happy with. Then you go ahead and make 60ml or so of each.

And as you use one, the other's are steeping. And as you run out, you mix more and used the ones that have sat for awhile.

I know it hard when you first start. But you'll get into a Rhythm.

Start SIMPLE! One do one flavor mixes to find what percentage you like in that flavor. Then you can always vape that. After you know what percentages you like different flavors then you can start mixing more than one flavor to find that great recipe you are looking for.

Actually most fruit flavors require very little steeping time IMO, although ANY juice will change over time. I always run the bottle under hot tap water and then let it sit in the water for 10 minutes. Allow it to sit and return to room temp, shake it vigorously several times and it is ready to vape.

As for LorAnn flavoring, many of them are pretty good. Raspberry, Strawberry, Cherry, Bavarian Cream, Keoke Coffee and English Toffee are all pretty good. The Watermelon is only so-so. I have also used TFA and Flavour Art which are very good. I just ordered a bunch of flavorings from Mt. Baker Vapor and am looking forward to trying those. Taste is very much a personal preference and everyone's opinions on that will differ. Personally I can't imagine mixing whipped cream and watermelon

Good luck with your DIY experimentation! Trial & error and patience are required but it's worth it when you mix that first perfect batch.

Edit: And yes, use the advice above and start with one-flavor batches. Find the right percentage of flavor you like. Then, if you mix a great bottle of strawberry and a great bottle of cheesecake you can simply add them together for a delicious vape.

Well since you're DIYing, I assume you have nic base, PG, and VG. Just mix a couple of 30mL bottles of flavorless nic at your preferred strength. You can vape this in between steep times, use it as a 'control' to make sure your device/wick/coil isn't giving a funky taste, and if you're feeling lazy, put some in a smaller bottle and add some flavoring to it. Flavorless nic is a great thing. Helps you get an idea of how sweet a high VG base can be by itself, and also lets your taste buds relax in between all that flavor testing.
