We got our first order of flavors...anyone care to make suggestions?

[1LastShot]

I told myself I wasn't going to go the route of pestering everyone else for their ideas...then we got our stuff...and I immediately got "mixer's block" lol.

So here's what we got, and if anyone feels like tossing out an idea (especially a tried-and-true one) feel free!

Sweet Cream-TFA
Black Cherry-TFA
Marshmallow-LA
Circus Cotton Candy-TFA
Cheesecake (Graham Crust) TFA
Toasted Almond-TFA
Vanilla Butternut-LA
Peppermint-TFA
Raspberry-TFA
Blueberry-TFA
Sweetener-TFA (is this ethyl maltol maybe?)

We are using full VG (except the flavors of course

I already learned the hard way how to make Altoids- Blech!! I made a 5ml with 10% peppermint, not thinking about needed sweetener. Lol. I have added a few drops of sweetener and a few of the cotton candy juice my wife had mixed up to no avail. Still Altoids
Any ideas for the rest?

Raspberry or blueberry cheesecake i am not sure how much flavor you like, 1ml cheesecake> 2ml blueberry/raspberry.You can try for a Black Cherry Cheesecake also,same amounts as with the blueberry/raspberry.

The Vape Book .This might help a little.

Sweetener-TFA = This is a sucralose sweetner
Circus Cotton Candy-TFA = The regular Cotton candy is ethyl maltol not the circus

Thanks- I have checked out the vape book before, I couldn't seem to apply it unless I had a much larger stash of flavors. Thanks also on the distinction between the sucralose/maltol

Well I can't give you any recipes but I can give you a bit of advice. You would be better off making a small (5ml) batch of each flavor to find what percentage you like best. Start low and work up as needed. Once you get each flavor dialed in you can start combining flavors that are premixed. You might be surprised when you think two flavors would be good at 50/50 but it turns out they need to be 80/20 to work together. I recently received my first order of flavors and just dove in. Not surprising the results weren't impressive at all. I've since slowed down and I'm working through the single flavors first. Wish I'd done it to begin with, would have saved a lot of time, frustration and components.

@unloaded, thank you for that reminder...you just rescued me from playing mixologist I was getting ready to blend a few flavors, and happened to check this thread first...and then I remembered that I wasn't going to blend any flavors until I had tried them all on their own.

Here is a nice flavor guide from the TFA flavorings thread, might help

edit: i would probably start a lil lower on percentage incase it ends up being too strong easier to work your way up than down.

edit2: also if you like coffee try drinking your coffee while vaping on raspberry, so good.
