This is where I tested RY4 Double and Vanilla Bourbon as stand alone flavors when I got them. RY4D was awesome, VB was incredibly cloying. I ended up taking 20ml of unflavored and 2ml of the pre-mixed VB recipe I made and that is tolerable now. I could probably add another ml or two and it would still be fine. I have since found that VB just works better as a 0.5 - 2.0 % part of a recipe with other dominant flavors.
I now have too many flavors to be doing single flavor tests of all my new flavors like I did with the first flavoring order, other than the blends I have been getting from OSDIY and RF that are ready to go as single flavor recipes.
Anytime I get a bunch of new flavor, I immediately mix each one, and I'll get to them when I get to them
I can usually get to them sooner than later, because I only mix 3ml tests, and I go through them pretty fast.
I could never understand anyone who automatically mixed up a 10ml or higher test , before they even knew if they liked it, or how strong it was.
I hate throwing out nic, and I always mix using nic, because it affects the flavor,(at least if you use it as high as I do)
I'm to curious about a new flavor to just shelf it

I have started making slightly smaller testers but 3ml is too small for me to bother with. Currently making 20ml testers in 30ml bottles, will probably cut that down to 15 in the future. The one or two things I made that I didn't like in bigger batches I just either diluted with unflavored, or added a ml or two of the funky recipe to a small batch of unflavored to see if I can make it vapeable. I made a big batch of BRY4 from Nude Nic starter kit at 1% when I didn't know better that I didn't care for but since it was such a low percent I just added some other flavors to it to make it more palatable.
I'm not sure where I read it on here, but someone said to use citric acid by the drops until it's to your liking.
Well...if you haven't used TFA Maraschino Cherry yet, I'd definitely start at even less than the 5% low value from that chart. I make a cherry & chocolate recipe with it, and found that even 2% was plenty! It's pretty strong!
I only vape about 6ml a day, so a 20ml bottle along with vaping 8 other flavors a day,(for variety) would take me months to finish off
Yup, I've tried a lot of tricks just to finish off 3ml's at times ... sometimes it just goes down the drain.
All I'm really after is to see if I like it ... if so, the paperwork goes in the "keeper" file, and I move on to the next one.
Neat hobby
'2016 TFA Flavor Listing. Most common used %'s by User-ID' spreadsheet created. It's sorta rough at the moment, but anyone can do anything to it right now. I ask if you make any changes, to write your name and comment at the bottom after the flavors.
This is a current listing of ALL TFA flavor listings on Sept 5, 2016 . It probably contains some from their Perfumer's line, but have not been removed.
Please change the 'user-id' box to your username. Enter the most common % you use for each flavor. It's not exacting or scientific.
** Following a flavor name indicates that it is considered flammable and required special shipping. The Average % will update once the 1st entry for a flavor has been inserted
All Flavors listed in Column A.
Insert your user-id along row 5, with your input.
There's absolutely no sort of security on the file. Any ideas/thoughts about this are welcome.
If you think it's better in the dropbox, either put it there, or tell me how to do it.
Here's the public link: https://docs dot google dot com/spreadsheets/d/1DhvF31ld2tyWUCXcXBXAMvHvIHc-blkB9ETQsL_eiqc/edit?usp=sharing
Change the dot to actual . for the link to work

Recipe? Pretty please? Oh wait, I just did my Labor Day order from Bull City.
The code is LABORDAY2016 for 15% off & the code is active!
I can't think of anything to order. I got a bit into my DIY and then got completely sidetracked with summer and haven't mixed in months and never got anything worked out.
I have a bottle of Beetlejuice flavour I wanna like and haven't got anywhere with it yet.

I don't see a lock. To edit something you already put in just go back and click in the cell to make corrections. You can highlight your input then backspace or delete and start your cell info again or place your cursor where you want to delete and backspace. Click inside the cell you want to edit, then double click. Just worked for me

Ok, the list is a good idea. I put a few in myself but I use only a few as stand alones. You can tell by the higher pcts if they are stand alones. My lower pcts are used in mixes. At least it is easier to tell in tfa flavors for me anyway.

I'm on an iPad, click the pencil icon, says I need the Sheets app. Lock icon is in the title bar for that page.
The list is in google doc sheets as a table. In your browser url type in google docs and see if it comes up. Might not since you have an apple product. I really don't know anything much about apple. But if it is asking for a Sheets app, maybe you can find that wherever the apple programs are. Or maybe google has one for apple. Wish I could be more help. sorry
Good job on putting that all together.I put a few on there for now,and will do some more as i go through my notes.Most i posted are not single flavor %,but what i use them at in recipes the most,but a few are solo % too.
Having the same problem on my iPad. Tried downloading the Google Docs app for iPad, saw no way to import the TFA file.
Will try later with my laptop.
If I can find it.
If OSDIY has the flavorings too, that you all are looking for...they're having a 22% off sale for Labor Day. It was posted on an earlier page. Code: LABORDAY22
CORRECTION: Info about a 22% off SALE is not right! Emailed Kimberly to ask if they'd sent a newsletter about it or not, because I hadn't gotten one. Said there is no 22% off sale, just the 15% off below!
Their regular 15% off is through the whole month of September, in case you want to order later on. Codes are: ECF or JFK
