What flavors should I try first?

[Basilor]

Ok, placed an order with Wizard Labs on Friday, sent Sat, arrived today. That's good service from Florida to Arizona.

Anyway, delving into DIY juice mixing for the first time. I am going to try most flavors by themselves before mixing with others. I know I will end up making mistakes, and tossing juice, but that's ok.

What I was seeking was any recommendations you might have for mixes based on the flavors I have on hand. (I have downloaded and played with the ejuice me up calculator.)

For a base, I ordered 250ml 18mg 90/10 PG/VG and 120ml no nic VG, plan on mixing them both together for my base.

Here are the flavors I ordered to start.

Blueberry
Carmel Cappuccino
Cinnamon Red Hots
Koolada
Menthol Liquid 10% Solution
Raspberry Flavor Concentrate
Raspberry Sweet Flavor
RY4 Asian Flavor Concentrate
Black Honey Tobacco
Irish Cream Flavor
Honey Flavor Concentrate
Strawberry Flavor Concentrate
Sweetener Flavor Concentrate
Tutti-Frutti Flavor Concentrate
Blueberry Extra TFA Flavor
Brown Sugar Flavor
Double RY4 Flavor
Huckleberry

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark

It's hard to say. You may mix that Blueberry and vape it every day for a year. Look up recipes. If one sounds good maybe pick up those flavors. Nobody can tell you what you'll like. My favorite may be repulsive to you. If you don't like a flavor think about how you might make it likeable. That's the fun part.

Da only way to start down da path to successful DIYing!

Welcome to da DIY fraternity/sorority!

What is your target nic level? Ya gotta watch your nic % ratios with da VG. This is where the eJMU calculator is invaluable.

Here are the flavors I ordered to start...

Hey, in da beginning, just stay with single flavs that you think you would enjoy vaping.

Just have fun on your way to DIY freedom!

This is an awesome recipe and this guy, wish he was still here, is fun to watch. Do not mix like he does! It's Sweet tarts made with Red Bull and Blueberry. I mixed ten ml a few days ago and it's awesome. Again you may not like it but the vid is fun to watch. I was a Sweet Tart addict when I was young..still am.

Ahhh, maybe I didn't communicate that well. Just got my box in and had little time before having to head to work.

I know there are lots of recipes here and elsewhere online, was just kinda curious if anyone had recipe they knew of with the ingredients I actually have now.

Iffy: I want around 12mg nic level, so figured 250ml 18mg + 120ml 0 nic should get me about there.

oxygen thief: Haha, actually saw that recipe a couple hours after placing my initial order. Will definitely try that in the future.

nardamarie: Thanks for the advice, will be cautious with the Koolanda. I figure 3ml is about the smallest I can make, might try 2ml but not sure how well that translates, ie gives a good indication of the flavor. The brown sugar was almost an afterthought, but I thought it might make for some interesting background flavors.

My main goal is getting a good red hot cinnamon / ice. Also would like to nail a blueberry honey. Pretty much out of the stuff I have from vendors, those and a RY4 mix is what I vape all day. I also have some strawberry ice that I like initially, but over time, the strawberry has diminished to almost nothingness, seems all I taste now is the ice.

Unfortunately, I won't even have time to really start playing with these until Thurs or Friday do to work and other obligations. Thanks for the replies.

Make sure to allow for flavor percentages with the nicotine--you may need a higher nic content next time if your find your desirable flavoring level takes it down too much----thats what Iffy probably meant.

I'd keep it simple and start with one flavor at a time as mentioned above---pretty sure most TFA run 5-20% percent flavoring. Good luck to you on your new adventure.

Black honey tobacco is great by itself, very mild though in my experience.

Huckleberry has a strong flavor but little depth; I would try mixing it with a strong, deep berry like raspberry. 50/50 should do, just a guess.

I prefer tobacco absolute in all my baccy flavors.

Beware, Carmel Cappuccino is best at 1 drop per 10 ml. It would be best to do research on the usual % used for each flavor. Then tailor your mix accordingly. I have heard Huckleberry is also quite potent, but not sure what % to mix it at (I used .5% in a mix of other berries)

Check out the recipe section. E-Liquid Recipes


St8 made a great cinn redhot/pomegranete http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/e-liquid-recipes/278064-str8v8ping-napom.html

Caution though. When I mixed 10 ml of this my husband said it was great. I have heard to be cautios of cinnamin oil. (cinnamaldhyde) He vaped Napom for 5-6 days straight. (said it was AWSOME!!!) After this he started feeling a bit light headed. He changed the juice and then he couldn't taste anything sweet for over a week.

Just be warned TPA redhots is potent stuff (and addictive)
