So far, there's only one alcohol flavor I've tried, and it was actually just a sample that the company sent me. But it was still pretty good. It was from vape Wild and it's was coconut rum flavored. I can't remember off the top of my head exactly how many different alcohol flavors they sell but they do have quite a few and I'm for sure one of them is Brandy. And I have yet to find a flavor from Vape Wild I don't enjoy.

If you made your own eliquids (mixing the PG, VG, Nic base & flavorings yourself), I'd recommend One Stop DIY Shop's "Tennessee Whiskey", which is one of their One Stop Flavors used for DIY. It's like my favorite, Jack & Coke...without the Coke! It's only for making your own eliquid with it though, NOT for vaping the way it is.

Yes, they do, but in a limited number of PG/VG ratio combinations and nic mg. Also, when buying it already mixed, when you add flavorings it does change the finished nic mg...since your flavorings are diluting the original mg. It's also more expensive buying it that way, than buying the PG, VG, Nic base, and flavorings separately and mixing everything yourself.

Nude Nicotine is IMO one of the best, smoothest, Nic Bases to buy, but is also more expensive than many others. Wizard Labs Nic Base is my next favorite.

20 bucks for 500ml, thats pretty cheap to me.

Yes, $20 for 500mL of only 3mg Nic base from Nude nicotine is cheap. But remember, adding flavoring will drop that 3mg down in the finished mix you make. Also, depending on what PG/VG ratio you buy for your nic base...adding flavoring to it will slightly change your resulting/final PG/VG ratio. Most flavorings are in 100% PG, some are in 100% VG, some are in odd %, like 57% VG.

For example, let's say you want to use the "Tennessee Whiskey" One Stop Flavor I mentioned above (which the vendor suggests using at 10% when making eliquid with it). It's in 100% PG.

One Stop Flavors - Tennessee Whiskey - 9mL - Also available in larger sizes

Here's an example, based on your 3mg nic base being in a 50PG/50VG ratio to start with (since I don't know which you'd choose), and using 10% of the Tennessee Whiskey flavoring (which is in 100% PG).

To use those things, to make a 50mL finished bottle, you'd use:

45mL - 3mg nic Base in 50/50 PG/VG
5mL - Tennessee Whiskey flavoring

Your final Nic mg would be reduced to 2.7mg, and your final PG/VG ratio would be changed to 55PG/45VG.

For some people that would be no big change, but for others...they may not like that outcome.

Buying the PG, VG, Nic Base, and flavoring all separately...allows you to make your finished liquid come out to be exactly what nic mg and PG/VG ratio you want it to be in the end. Most people also buy their Nic Base in higher Nic mg (usually 100mg/mL) and either in 100% PG or in 100% VG to make mixing easier.

wow , that 50ml ratio was what i was about to ask for next ;).
you were spot on about the pg/vg/nic combo too.. i was looking at 3mg {or 6mg after your post} @ a 50/50 mix.
are there any benefits to adding an extra 2-3ml of flavoring ??? for a better taste ?

"one stop flavors"---- all im finding is Tennessee whiskey on their site.
any other good flavor vendors with liquor flavors ?????
Inawera seems to have a good amount of liquor flavors , are they any good ??

[WOW IM ACTUALLY DOING A JUMP TO DIY]

haven't tried it yet but this is on my to buy list - Perfumers Apprentice - Kentucky Bourbon Flavor **

they also have a vanilla bourbon that I have tried but did not like as a stand alone flavor, it works better at a low percent in a recipe of other flavors

I knew you were looking at 3mg, based on the $20 price for 500mL. I just picked the 50/50 ratio because it's pretty standard for many to buy. That one, and probably 100% VG and 100% PG are the most common.

As far as adding more flavoring...with the Tennessee Whiskey, the owners of OSDIY Shop suggest 10% if you're not using it to subohm, and 5% if you are subohming. So I just went with their suggested 10%. However, people's taste vary greatly, so yes...you CAN always adjust a flavoring % down or up according to taste.

They have a variety of One Stop Flavors and of One Stop Blends, besides the single flavorings from many other manufacturers like TFA, CAP, FW, etc. At top of any page, hover over FLAVORS at the top left. You'll see One Stop Flavors and One Stop Blends categories to click on to see all of each type. You may note there are a few other "alcohol related" ones besides the Tennessee Whiskey one, too. Just need to read the descriptions of them to tell.

As far as other manufacturers liquor related flavorings...2 others I've bought are single flavorings, used in a recipe with other flavorings as well: I ordered a small sample of TFA Jamaican Rum, but I haven't used it in a recipe yet. I also ordered the TFA Creme de Menthe, and it's wonderful when I mix it with alittle TFA Milk Chocolate and TFA Bittersweet Chocolate flavorings. TFA has others, too, but I've not ordered any of them to try. I know most other manufacturers make some, too.

I second this, I have an amaretto flavour "Manabush's NO.3" from the collective 7 range, I can give you a sample if you'd like,

*Edit* damn just realised you are in the USA, postage would cost a bomb!

    A quick DIY recommendation. Mix a small bottle at first, 5ml or 10ml to make sure you like it. That way you know if the ratio is too strong or weak without wasting a whole bunch. If you ever decide to mix your own nic and VG PG, when you are making a new flavor, I recommend not adding the nic until you get the flavor ratio right. That way nic isn't wasted in case the mix is a total abomination and you have to dump it. Nicotine is the most expensive part of DIY, so I feel bad if I have to dump a nic'ed liquid.

    You will probably need to order some luerlock blunt tip syringes to be accurate with your ratios. Heartland vapes has a nice DIY starter pack with different tip gauges and syringe sizes.

    Also, there are many great juice ratio calculators to assist you in figuring out how much of what you need to add to get your desired mix. Some allow you to save your recipes for future mixing. I personally like to keep notes of mix ratio and whatnot to see what I like.

    Hope this all helps as you jump down the rabbit hole!

    ...Nicotine is the most expensive part of DIY, .......

    why do people always say this? It might be if you vaped it at 100mg.

    Popular TPA flavors cost $4/30ml or 13.33c per ml. Nicotine costs $50/L or 5c per ml. Most people use a far higher percentage of flavoring in their juice than they do nic. A 100ML juice recipe at 3mg would have 15c of nicotine. If you are using 20% flavoring like many recipes call for there would be $2.67 worth of flavoring in that 100ML recipe.

    i am sub ohm vaping @31.5w isub and 40w protank 4 , so i should put 2.5ml flavoring ??

    How many mL of flavoring you'll use in each bottle of eliquid you make...is dependent upon 2 things: (1) how many total mL of eliquid you're making, and (2) what % of each flavoring you're using to make that amount of eliquid. It won't be a set amount of mL across the board for all recipes, nor every eliquid amount, that you're making.

    What I mentioned above in 1 of my posts, was a recommended % of flavoring, not mL, for the One Stop Flavors and One Stop Blends only (ie. the Tobacco Blend, the Tennessee Whiskey, and the Wild Cherrylicious). Manufacturers of the single flavorings you bought (TFA, CAP, and FA) do have recommended % to use their individual flavorings at in an eliquid recipe, too. They can be found on their own websites, and I think even in a forum or 2 maybe on the ECF.

    So, for only the One Stop Flavors and One Stop Blends above...the owner recommended that if you're subohming, use about 5% of just 1 of them in with your PG, VG, and Nic Base. If you're making a 50mL bottle of eliquid...that 5% is 2.5mL. But if you're making a 30mL bottle...that 5% is only 1.5mL of flavoring. All recommendations anyone gives are only suggestions, too. Your own tastes will tell you whether more or less suits you.

    Also, for your first 4 flavorings that you ordered, I can't offer any advice about what % to use for each of them. Those are single flavoring, that most people use in combination with other single flavorings to make a recipe. As far as I know, the vast majority of those who DIY don't vape just single flavorings + PG, VG, and Nic Base...unless they're like the One Stop Flavors and Blends (which are several flavorings already combined into 1 bottle for you). Those are the only ones I personally use singly, of the 124 flavorings I have.

    I also agree with ronnbert above about making very small 5mL or less sample amounts...to taste test and vape test a few drops at a time, as you make any changes to get them exactly as you want them within that small amount. Make sure you take notes about any changes you made in the test sample, too. You'll need those notes when you input info. into an eliquid calculator to have it determine how much of each ingredient you'll need to make a larger bottle of it, so it turns out the same!

    About buying syringes, blunt needle tips, etc. If you have a Tractor Supply anywhere near you, or a feed store (sells livestock supplies, feed, meds, etc.)...you can get syringes there for very cheap prices and in many sizes (3mL through 60mL)! Blunt needle tips in 14ga and 16ga are IMO the most useful sizes, and can handle the PG, VG, and flavorings very well. I'd get at least 4 of each of those gauges (they're cheap online @ about 35c - 50c each).

    This depends on your personal preferences and taste buds IMO.

    I just mixed up a OSDIY tester lucky shot x lotta latte with 9% of each for a total of 18% flavor and am vaping at 0.2 ohm. Only a day or two old but tasty. Last time I tried that mix I did it at 10% total (and enjoyed it very much) so I wasn't sure if 18 would be too much but it surprisingly is not.

    It is certainly easier to always start low and if too weak just add a few drops/%/ML of flavoring vs having to figure out how to dilute something you made too flavorful.
