Uh, would it be a better idea to pick flavors that you DON'T like?
I think most of us are in the camp of starting with ones that we think we will like, branching out from there as we come across recipes that sound good but hadn't been on our radar.

The Fe Oatmeal and Milk tastes like neither.The TFA Kettle Corn is no solo vape for me but will be good in some mixes.Maybe more steeping will bring more corny taste.

I meant that I should research the flavors before just picking what I think will be good. I like grape, but I should have probably read up on all the different grapes before just picking one, or ideas on what I should mix with the grape to make it taste better
Last up for today is Cap Funnel Cake. This is good. 2 weeks steeped and mixed at 5%. It's not real sweet but a bit too sweet for me so I will most likely be mixing cranberry funnel cake or maybe grapefruit or............
My Nicotine River order arrived, several days later than an ECX order placed the same day but including a generous present that made up for everything: 2oz NR Chocolate Cream, 2oz FW Milk, 15mls FLV Persimmon Spice, and three tall, skinny, squeezy drip bottles that probably have a name but I don't know it.
I hope all our Chefs deliveries arrive today! I’m guessing at least one or two of you will get yours before I do. Mine shipped on the 25th but at least one other persons shipped on the 23rd although I think that was a weekend day. I’m not sure how overseas shipping and weekends work.
But I’ve got my work area all setup and ready to go. I’ll start by mixing up some bases and stones today to at least get a jump on things.
I think I will anyways. If I feel ok.

I read around and then posted what I was thinking of ordering here so that the pros could steer me away from bad choices toward better ones. It was a huge help.I meant that I should research the flavors before just picking what I think will be good.

WooHoo for the freebies. Hope you like them.
I'm sure you will get your order before I do cause they shipped the same day.
Lots of DIY newbies choose flavorings to order the same way you did. They initially think that to make an eliquid...all you have to do is use a single flavoring with their plain PG, plain VG, and nic base...and they'd get a finished, good-tasting eliquid...like commercial eliquids they've bought. Problem is, that unless they're using a "one shot" (an already blended mix of all the flavorings needed to make a finished eliquid), they're unaware that their mix will have none of the secondary blender-type flavorings, nor the accents, or sweeteners needed to achieve it.
There are some very good, already blended, mixes of flavorings that are carried by a variety of vendors. You might want to check out some of those. You could make some eliquids that you like and can vape then, right away...while you're finding recipes and buying flavorings for other mixes that use combinations of individual flavorings.
Most new DIYers have been exactly where you are, in their own DIY journey, and many more will be there. It's a learning process, and we all go through it. Heck, I can't think of a single person who does DIY... who isn't still learning things about it (ie. about new flavorings, new recipes, hints & tips to make their eliquids better, methods they can use, etc.)
@FranC comment about WF Butter Pecan Pie losing its sweetness after a two week steep jogged by memory about WF Flapper Pie used in Nick’s LMP that I could not taste. I did not dump it and tried it again in the hopes that i could taste it. I think I may have commented something about maybe the sweetener used would magically disappear. After a couple of weeks I was able to taste it although I don’t know if it was a good taste or a so-so taste. I plan to mix it again and let it steep to see if this was magic or not.
Does anyone know if WF uses Sugar Daddy in their concentrates?

I didn't taste the WF Butter Pecan Pie fresh so I have no idea if it was sweet fresh or not but I'm thinking not. I do not know what they use for sweetener.
I'm especially excited about the Persimmon Spice.
Hope you like it. I can't vape the spice stuff.
I got into the spices for awhile and it was enjoyable but I guess my tastebuds did not agree. Oh well. I found other stuff.
i really should remember to hit the quote button...ugg
to the person trying to make a grape vape
I know that usually in grape juice they use apple or pear, juice that may help a bit with the flavor

Makes total sense, I should have probably should have done more reading before diving in headfirst .. hindsight is 20/20
I might check out some of the already blended mixes, but I'm pretty particular about what I like .. like I cant vape sweet, it does not agree with me ... a super tiny amount of sweetness is fine, but some of the liquids I've tried are like shoving a bowl of sugar in your mouth
I'm super happy with 2-3 flavors that I can switch between, I don't need a lot to be happy - I just need to find the right 2-3 flavors
That was me. I'll keep that in mind the next time I make an order - do you have any suggestions for what type of apple or pear? I think the last time I searched for apple, there was like 20 different kinds lol :/
I'm the same way with sweet. I would suggest Rhubarb to you.Tasty and not too sweet. There are others but you might want to try one at a time?Makes total sense, I should have probably should have done more reading before diving in headfirst .. hindsight is 20/20

If the vapable type of Rhubarb tastes the same as the real kind, it will probably be a hard pass haha. My mom is a rhubarb fan, she's baked and cooked with it since before I was born, and it's never agreed with me.
