One time small order shipping

[vaper1960]

This is going to be a one time order... very small (until I really jump into DIY)
What company has very low shipping on DIY flavors (not concerned with VG, PG or nicotine... yet)?
Parameters:
minimum order
minimum shipping charge
based on order amount
based on distance (from California)
Just want to order a few small bottles of flavors for my first DIY project... after this will do it "proper"
Don't ask the details... just something I want to try on super budget.

Going to vary by location I suspect. It’s not going to be Inawera. They’re in Poland. The cheapest shipping is always pickup. Flavorwest is California based. Their stuff is really cheap but their shipping is generally pricey.

 

[vaper1960]

Flavor west has no minimum order and based in CA... good start!

 

[vaper1960]

I just realized the specific flavors I wanted are from The Flavor Apprentice (based on someone's post on DIY forum here) Will contact several companies tomorrow during business hours. Flavor west seems to have basic flavors, but not something like "apple pie" unless I missed something.

For TFA I'd suggest Bull City Flavors - Best Prices on Flavoring

ECigeXpress is good for flavors and shipping too, but price of TFA is a little less at Bull City Flavors.

OK, might as well let the cat out of the bag (sorry kitty)
Got the idea from this thread:
Good WTA DIY Recipe: Spiked Apple Pie
What I already have:
VG
18mg 50VG/50PG tobacco juice
Vapetasia Killer Kustard 12mg
What I need:
Apple pie flavor
Pumpkin spice flavor
Graham cracker flavor
Will call it "Spiced Apple Pie al a mode"
Obviously I don't have WTA, and the tobacco juice is cheap, but it's got PG and nicotine (and I don't like overly sweet so this will add a bite) The Killer Kustard tastes like vanilla ice cream and also has nicotine. I know, I'm crazy (and very low budget)

Found it! Flavor west has "dutch apple pie" (they are in alphabetic order so nothing showed in the A's) Duh! Quick search and found it.

 

[vaper1960]

Flavor West doesn't have small bottles like I want now, but all these flavors are versatile... might have to save up for this order.

To get the best value for my money, I buy the best rated/most popular if ratings differ flavor in a single category (Vanilla, Choc. Cookie, fruit etc.) no matter the cost in reason, ship fee, or how many diff. vendors, etc... Small bottles are great for first go around. If your mixing with the best/most popular (ELR), and a recipe does not work out, your mix or your tastes are at fault. After I have a recipe down pat, I might play with more cost effective flavors/sources. I found that the trick is to acquire 10 more or less ADV recipes and stick with these.
I looked for the vendor with the most flavors that I liked and found that this one seemed to have most of my favorites:
Flavor Concentrates

Thanks BB, I will put location as California... nothing more specific than that.
I just checked The flavor Apprentice and seems they no longer have Pumpkin Spice, so open to any source for the 3 flavors I mentioned. Any suggestions welcome.
Basically, going to make the apple pie recipe, steep it awhile, then try mixing with Killer Kustard at different ratios. Any quick suggestions on that ratio?

Nicotine River is on the West coast I think. Their flavors are a few cents cheaper than everyone elses for a few more mls too. They do have a $50 minimum before free shipping kicks in.

Bull City Flavors has all three flavors in stock:
Apple Pie-TFA
Pumpkin Spice-TFA
Graham Cracker-FW

@vaper1960 - Besides having very reasonable prices and S/H charges...Bull City Flavors also has an on-going discount coupon code for ECF members to use. It's only a 6% discount, but every little bit helps. Use the coupon code ECF6 to get the discount.

Not sure why you think that. Where did you check?
TFA (mfg. website)
Bull City Flavors
Nicotine Giant
Other vendors may treat it as more of a seasonal/holiday concentrate.

Maybe he checked for it on DIYVaporSupply...the website BrotherBob linked to in his post to him. The OP was responding to BB's post when he said they didn't have it any more, so maybe he'd just checked there for it. Just a guess though.

I have TFA Pumpkin Spice though I haven't got around to vaping it yet. Cinnamon is the dominant note to me by smell.

Nicotine River has Flavor Revolution Pumpkin Cake or Flavor Apprentice Cinnamon Sugar Cookie on clearance if you want to chance a substitute. They do sell 15ml bottles for about the same price as others charge for 10ml as Skeebo pointed out.

Nicotine River is in California, like the OP...so he'll likely have to pay sales tax if he goes with them. He might want to consider that, as well as the discount he'd get at BCF, that NR doesn't have. I've bought from both places, and the customer service was great from both, products were super from both, etc., but at a lower overall cost from BCF.

 

[vaper1960]

I forgot about sales tax... good point! Doesn't matter to me where I get the flavors, just trying to stick to original recipe from post. BTW, would normally just use unflavored nic, but using what I have for now (and can't afford WTA) Anyone have a guess about the ratio of original post recipe mixed with Killer Kustard? I'm thinking 3 to 1 (I want mostly apple pie flavor) After this, I can still play with the flavors (also getting some berry) like Killer Kustard with graham cracker and lemon/strawberry (already have), KK with graham cracker and berry, and so on. Not sure what to do with the extra pumpkin spice, but who knows?

Bull city flavors is my usual flavor vendor. Shipping is quick down I-75 from North Carolina to my Georgia location along I-75. Price and selection are good.
