Single DIY flavor maker

[talbrecht]

If you could only use one flavor company which would it be? It seems like TFA has the most choices and seems to be used overwhelmingly in recipes. Let me know what you think.

Follow up question: How many different flavor companies do you have flavoring from currently? I have 4. TFA, LorAnnes, Cappella, and OOO.

I would hate to limit it to one company. I'm fairly new at this, but the way I started out was by getting at least two brands of each flavor I'm trying. So far which one is best for a given flavor is really variable. I've tried some of FW, TFA, Inawera, Nature's flavors and LorAnn. So far the only brand that hasn't had a "best n class" result at all is LorAnn.

If I absolutely had to limit it to one it would probably be NF, but that is only because the came in best for two of my favorite flavors.

Welcome talbrecht!

I just recently started DIY. LorAnn, Capella, and FlavourArt are my primary ones at this time. I think I picked up Signature (Brown Sugar) because I was trying to find components for a Castle Long clone I'm working on. I need a few other flavors, and haven't decided from whom I'm going to get them. I've been happy with the LA and CAP flavors thus far. May try TFA if I can't find my specific choices elsewhere.

Who's "OOO" That isn't familiar to me....

I could manage with just FlavourArt and Hangsen but I enjoy some of the flavors from others also.

I mainly use Hangsen and inawera.

That would be "one on one" flavors

I currently have TFA, CAP, LorAnn, FW and FA. I've been getting pretty good results from most of them except I can't say I've been happy with any of my LA flavours.
If I had to limit to one, I think I would have to choose Flavour Art.

I like myfreedomsmokes MFS, in-house flavors. Their black raspberry is super. The MTS adds body to any juice giving more substance to the smoke and brings out flavors very nicely. They have a clear chocolate that doesn't gum up coils as fast as the choco/hazelnut.

I would not want to limit myself to one brand. I have favorite flavors from most I've tried.

Currently, I have some TFA, FA, FW, Capella, OoO, and Inawera (just got those yesterday, but they smell really good).

I love the OoO, but they are, as I understand, repackaged. No idea who actually makes them. That makes me skeptical - where are they made? Maybe I'm paranoid, but I don't want to consume anything from certain places.

I've been trying to obtain that brown sugar xtra too but nobody has any that I can find. I think I ended up just getting TFA brown sugar for the Castle Long knock off. With all the raves about this stuff from five pawns it really has my curiosity aroused.

Oh, and I'm real new at this DIY but so far Inawera had been hard to top, but I've got some Hangsen on the way and it's all Danny's fault.

As I only do fruits and coffees. I could get away with FA and Inawera. I have had the best luck with those two. I suppose I will broaden my options as I get better at mixing. The above two seem to be very forgiving to a new mixer.

 

[Heabob]

Most people here have tried just about every brand out there.
And each brand has both its best and worst.
I have favorites from just about all of them except OoO and LA, which I haven't bothered with.
FA, Inawera, and VZ-SC are nice because way less flavoring is needed, as compared to others.
But TFA has some I couldn't live without, as does Capella, and FW.

 

[Exchaner]

I use mostly FA because from a safety stand point, they disclose the most information about their products. Why take a chance and use a flavor whose manufacturer is unknown ... That includes many flavors from MFS, VZ and others.

If I could only have one, it would be, hands down, Capella
