Single flavor? There was nothing else you wanted to try? Hope you really llike it:)

There is lots I want to try like blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc ... but I think I really need to do some research on what I think I'm going to like first .. recipes with the flavors I want, and favorable reviews for those recipes. I'm new to DIY and in my first order, I went with some Vanillas and bakery, which I really wasn't happy with (in my original question about the grape juice, I mentioned I wanted to move away from the desserts, creams and bakery). I really like grapes, like the artificial koolaid / grape soda types, and I had already ordered the TFA Grape juice, but there was a post here that didn't give it a favorable review, so I said screw it and ordered the one the guy really liked. Shipping was only $7 .. so if its something I enjoy, it will have been worth it.

    Probably a good idea to take it slow. I can't vape anything to sweet so most bakery and dessert vapes aren't for me. But there are more and more exceptions to that rule by mixing with different flavors. I tend to like creams more than vanillas and there are several good creams out there that aren't real sweet. I wish you much luck in your DIY journey:)

    There’s a list of flavor concentrates that are in most recipes the most often. It may have been here or another forum like elr. It’s a good way to start your collection of flavors. I found it useful when I started to DIY.

    If I can find it I’ll link it. Maybe someone else knows where it is in the meantime.

    Update: so there’s a great thread with the list of most used flavors and other great stuff for noobies but I can’t post the link on here. But it’s at elr and search for A Beginners Guide To Making the Most Highly Rated Recipes

    Somewhere between here and there
    It seems you have trouble finding stuff in the stack on cases. It so easy with the double sided cases.

    I do. The bottles stand up and the sections are so big that you have to pick through several bottles to find the one you want. I’m sure I’ll switch to more polish cases over time.

    My system probably isn't very techie with the cases but I've found it amazing easy to find the flavors I'm looking for. Works for me.

    I just remembered I have a full case at home with boozy flavors on one side and cirtus on the other. I haven't listed anything in that case yet on paper. I need to do that. When my list is done I can check it agaist my list at ELR and make sure they all have been listed there.

    I actually need to update my list on ELR cause I have piffed many flavors over the years. Think I already removed most of those and the stuff I can't vape anymore also.

    Flv grape is really close to grape koolaid. Reminds me of a grape nehi.
    FW grape soda-pure sugar
    INW grapes-really close to a real grape. Slightly musky
    Pur grape soda- pretty close to a grape soda. Not quite nehi,more of a store brand
    RF grape-just leave it alone
    SC grape-its a grape sucker, sugar and all
    TFA grape soda-its a grape soda with very little grape if that makes sense
    I chased grape for a long time.

    I really hated them for a long time. I think some of the original tobaccos ruined me. Stuff like type red and all. The newer stuff is way better and more realistic as a real flavor. I like the newer flv stuff but I also like some of the ry4 blends. Not really tobacco as in cig but some come close to a sweet pipe tob

    Get the Flavour Creative instead of FA. Flavour Creative is rebottled FA and half the price.

    Is it just as concentrated as FA? I always tend to think that a rebottler will always dilute. Be nice to be totally wrong though :)

    I finally coiled my doggy so I am tasting my new juice (heaven, or ambrosia I can't remember) with a bunch of berries and white chocolate, but I got the proportions better, it's not insanely sweet. I am always happy to try my first "new" mix of a batch because there is usually some weird juju where if it's good, most of it is good.
    So, eh.

    I made it happen by doing it talking to the husband on speakerphone. I did not even say what I was doing but I figured even just the dulcet tones of his voice would make All The Things Behave. It took about five minutes, hehe.

    I am supposed to REST this weekend and I don't even feel bad! Other than my last day which was, well, predictably sweet. I got pizza and cupcakes, a card, lots of hugs, lots of "We will miss you and you will do greats." It was totally horrendous for like, a secret introvert like me.

    My contribution to "goodbye" was "Here are some breakfast snacks I will quietly place in the breakroom. At least a lot got et. Cuz my first go round, I got way to healthy snacks, and I was like, "Oh, this team likes to eat WRONG."

    Anyway it made me go, "See you spent six months getting to know this bunch and none of them actively hate you now!" I was l like, "Why OH why am I putting myself through this again?" But, I'm sure it will be fine I mean it's a corporate culture kind of thing.

    I am happy, but tired. I slept til 8 it was awesome.

    Have I mentioned we (well the husband) found a plot of 48 acres that is the BOMB 15 minutes from my work with electricity and sewer? Well he found it but he took me to see it and I said stuff like, "We must buy this immediately!" I mean, don't get me wrong I think it will be there. It's probably not like, for everyone. But I found it to be magical....

    When I lose my taste for something it never comes gradually. It's more of a sudden thing. I actually have 2 FLV tobaccos that I've never opened. Couldn't tell you what they are til I get home.

    That's where we differ big time on tobacco. I have never liked any Ry4. Ry3 is ok.

    I honestly dont consider them tobacco's, more of a caramel vanilla type thing. They go good with ice cream type stuff
