Agree! Asking "what is the best cream" is very similar to asking "what is the best chocolate"!
Some are sweet; others are not (some in between); same with vanilla (substantial, light, none). Then there's the "heavy's" (bavarian creams & custards) and the "lights" (whipped creams/similar). Some have butter overtones; some have a meringue or marshmallow thing happening. Then there's the ice creams (from things like lightweight soft-serves all the way to heavier/creamier french vanillas).
Diacetyl (and related chemicals) can be an issue with creams. We know VZ's SC Gourmet line contains diacetyl in anything 'creamy' (which they do not disclose); we can hence assume it's very possible there's undisclosed diacetyl in the rest of their lines. (I sense diacetyl in the VZ SC cream). Most of the main vendors are either free of these chemicals, or they are openly disclosed. That may/not be an issue for you, but when there are vendors with flavors that contain undisclosed harmful chemicals, I prefer to err with 'too much information' rather than too little).
As michaelsil1 suggests - if you'll let us know what you've tried and what you're looking for, you'll get better responses. If you share what you tried and don't like (and why), that'll help even more!
I have been using a company I have not seen listed on here once. I went to their site but did not see the chemical you mentioned listed. How do you find that? Not trying to hijack the thread.
i have yet to taste a cream that does not taste like cheese. every single cream i've had from every single vendor has tasted like cheese (granted i am just jumping into diy and i am referring to premade juices)
I like the sweet cream from Wizard Labs, but it's the first cream I've tried so I can't compare it to anything else. Definitely a cream note in there though.
Jim's Creamy Walnut:
50/50 base @ 6mg.
TFA black walnut 5%
Wizard Labs sweet cream 2%
TFA maple syrup 1%
Shake and vape but better after 24 hrs.

does it taste like cheese? i dont know why, but every single cream flavor i have tried (from ready made vapes - not flavorings) tastes like cheese! i dont get why they call it cream if it tastes like cheese! am i the only one that thinks it tastes like cheese!?
i dont know which cream flavor they use in those juices, but i know mt baker uses flavorwest flavorings
This is what I experience too, and it is a disgusting cheese flavor too. However, It happens mostly when I have a new wick. If I vape with a favorite non cream flavor then use my any of my flavors with cream added then they taste like cream. Furthermore it doesn't matter at what percentage I use either. I use all TFA cream flavors.
I get that "cheese" thing with many cream flavors, too, but I'm not sure I'd call it "cheese"... It's more like half-digested-gym-socks to me -- whatever, makes me gag! I taste it in many, many vendor premixed flavors. When I started DIY, I was dismayed to find it in SO many manufacturers' cream flavorings. I don't know how anyone can like that taste, but I know many do. shudder!
My answer: FlavourArt Fresh Cream. It's just like it's named. There's no extra sweetener, vanilla, marshmallow, custard, or any of that. It's just plain fresh cream. I wouldn't vape it as a single flavor, but if I did I'd use 5% (just to give you an idea how much you'd use when mixing with it.) I just add sweetener, vanilla, or whatever to get the type of cream I want, then develop my recipe from there. Whatever that cheese-sock molecule is, I don't detect it in any FlavourArt flavoring, but I've found it in Flavor West, Capella's, The Flavor Apprentice, Hangsen (especially), and Nature's Flavors. I use many other flavors from those manufacturers, but for cream - only FlavourArt for me!

I have heard that cream flavors need anywhere between 2-4 weeks of just sitting to reach their best flavors so before you give up on that bottle you don't like let it sit for a few weeks then try it again.
I so agree with this. It's great stuff!
Runner ups: MFS Sweet Cream and MFS Cream
I like TFA Bavarian Cream and Sweet Cream, just got some Whipped Cream I haven't tried yet.

I mixed some flavor (don't remember what it was) but thought it would be better with a creamy texture. I put a couple of mls in a separate bottle and added 5% FW Sweet Cream. The whole batch turned to Cheese Cake. I hate Cheese Cake.
I like the sweet cream from flavorwest and also the whipped cream from TPA, I don't taste any cheese notes in either of them.
