Need help first try DIY

[nyc516]

I am trying DIY for the first time and need some advise on where to buy flavors. I bought some nic and some TFA RY4, caramel candy and apple. It is working well so far thanks to reading this forum. I would like to know which favor company you like for the following :

Wizard Labs is by far the fastest, most well packed and cheapest vendor you'll find. They have just moved to bigger digs but I got my stuff in 5 days and that's slow for them. You would do well to check them out.

Sorry for the bad formatting. My first post wouldn't let me make a list. It looks like Wizard sells TPA/TFA and Loranns. Would I be better off going with TPA for those specific flavors or Loranns? Or should I try FA or CA at a different site?

I don't mind buying straight from TPA if I'm buying 4 ml flavors to try out instead of getting a bigger one and not liking it.$1.40 4 ml and cheap, very fast shipping.you can stock up on alot of flavors this way.I don't make really large batches so these little bottles last me.

I like the TFA just fine with one exception - Blackberry

I haven't used any other flavors so I can't really advise further.

Enjoy experimenting

I like vapingzone's super concentrates... not a perfumey/soapy one in the bunch and strong, accurate, flavor.. a little goes a looooong way and saves a lot of money. Prices can be deceptive if you need to use a lot of it to get decent flavor. Great, fast, service.

I would go with TFA in the 10 ml bottles for 1.49. Most of Loran's flavors are weak and those dram sized bottles can get used up in a 15 ml mix and definitely in a 30 ml. FA and Capella's have some great flavors like Capella's Chocolate Fudge Brownie and FA's Burley TB. They're expensive though and I didn't start using them until I really knew what I was doing making recipes.

One thing though. I wouldn't change the flavors I'm looking for based on what a vendor has in stock. Get what you need from whoever has it or wait. When I'm looking to purchase anything, I already have in mind exactly what I want and that's what I get. If I have to go to different vendors so be it.

A lot of folks new to DIY don't realize that a specific flavor comes under a whole slew of different names. Malboro flavor tobacco comes in a lot of different names, all except Malboro. You can get Maxx, Red, MLB, Cowboy, etc. But I have yet to see one named just plain ol' Malboro.

I've tried TPA pear and sweet raspberry.
The Pear I would give a 9/10. A little artificial but still tastes great.
The Sweet Raspberry I would give an 8/10. Good flavor, but mine was a little bit weak.

Haven't tried any of the others or any other company than TPA/TFA

http://www.ecigexpress.com/ is a good supplier -- nice selection with good prices and great shipping and customer service...

I use the Sweet Raspberry with Vanilla Bourbon in a Cola recipe that's very tasty. The Pear I mix with Juicy Peach and Brown Sugar that makes a sweet vape that's good for a change-up between tobacco flavors.

Thanks for the suggestion. I changed the recipes based on what I had. I made the raspberry coke with Vanilla Swirl and the Pear/Peach without the brown sugar. Both are great! I used cola juice pre-made from a vendor. Which flavoring do you use for cola? Should I buy TPA cola syrup, TPA Cola flavor or Flavourart?

 

[shynsly]

I tried the TFA cola and it seems a liitle like ginger ale. You might want to try the Syrup as that may be more accurate. I am using all TFA for my start up DYI for now. Good Luck!

 

[boomerdude]

I'd go with the Flavor Art cola.
