So... To you pro DIYers...

I currently have:
TFA/TPA:
Baked Cinnamon Roll,
Banana Nut Bread,
Bavarian Cream,
Blueberry (wild),
Bubblegum, (ehh.. -_-)
Butterscotch (though I dislike),
Chocolate Cream (ehh -_-)
French Vanilla,
Grape Candy,
Honeysuckle,
Juicy Peach,
Ripe banana,
Ripe strawberry,

What kind of mixes would you guys do? I have already done some experimenting and have a few mixes I love. I don't need recipes or percentages of your mix. I have an idea of how strong each of these flavors are. Just ideas. If your mix requires just one or two additional flavors not on this list still feel free to post as I plan on buying more flavors to try soon.

Edit: Just added a couple more flavors to the mix.

Marshmallow,
Ry4 double,
Kiwi double,
Caramel,
& then Flavor West Butterscotch.

I like apple mixed with cinnamon roll (tastes like an apple danish). You could get the same effect using peach and cinnamon roll. Maybe strawberry too.

I'm not a butterscotch fan either - everyone I've tried tastes *off* to me - but I do like caramel. Caramel, banana, and cream is wonderful. Might be worth trying butterscotch instead of the caramel. Maybe a touch of vanilla too.

I've heard flavor west's butterscotch tasted more like... Butterscotch.
Rather than the butter pudding taste I get from tpa. Even after steeping.
What Caramel would you prefer?
I know tpa has caramel candy, and caramel original.

Oh and I really like the apple cinnamon roll idea. Thank you thank you!! It's hard to limit myself on buying flavors. I tell myself "well I might as well get more because I'm paying shipping anyway" lol.

does the bubblegum taste / smell like kiwi?
if so i would try
%3 banana
%3 bubblegum
%2 blueberry
%2 peach
by volume, so if your making a 10 mL batch you would use a total of 1 mL e-liquid flavors in that batch.
that should be a good start and make sure you steep it. when im experimenting i hot steep my e-liquid for a few hours with periodic shaking every 30 minuites... don't hot steep in PET plastic bottles (most common) PET will release toxic stuff after 140 degrees F. for this reason i experiment using glass bottles. when i have a blend that i like i make it in a PET bottle and steep / air out in a cool dark place for a week or two.

TPA/TFA has 3 Caramels.
1.Caramel Original - I like this 1, tastes really good but it has Corn Syrup in it. May not be good for you to vape and will surely gunk up your coils and or wicks.
2. Caramel - Basically Caramel original minus the corn Syrup, this is my favorite of the 3, I use it in a lot of mixes. I really like this 1 a lot
3. Caramel Candy - My least favorite of the 3. To me it has a chemical smell to it.

Taste is subjective but that's my take on them. :vapor:

Cheers,
Steve

If your thinking of getting more flavors, I liked having Sweet Cream and Vanilla Swirl on hand for mixes (TFA).

Taste is subjective but I don't want to vape corn syrup so that one is out. And I'll take someones opinion on "chemical" like smell/taste. Thank you for this though as I hate buying flavorings that I dislike and I'm sure everybody does and every DIYer has experienced.

Maybe Baked Cinnamon Roll or Banana Nut will go good with a touch of chocolate or baverian cream. But also Baked Cinnamon Roll or Banana Nut are good on there own. Not much of a fruit or candy vapor so I won't go there:)

Good to know you've already tasted each flavor on it's own.

Juicy Peach with the Ripe Strawberry

Blueberry (Wild) with French Vanilla (although Vanilla Swirl is better, but not on your list)

Peach and strawberry. Mixing now I hope it is a success. And I have already mixed strawberry banana and it is fantastic. Taste like a smoothie.
