Hey you should know, my relative would be returning from the states in December so I do have a plan of a big order by then. In light of this would you say I should test more flavors??

I'd say yes...if there's no restriction on how much liquids that can be brought on the airline they're taking back to Pakistan. Here in the states...you can carry a bunch in "checked" luggage, but not on the plane with you in a carry-on. Any in carry-on must be in 3.4oz bottles or smaller, and ALL must fit in 1 quart-sized Ziplock baggie.
If you want to...test more flavors, especially ones that might go with some of the flavorings you're going to have extra of (ie. some you're only using 2-4mL of in your recipes). I assume those will be the 8mL sizes...so you'll have some of each still left.
Here are some suggestions of flavorings I use and really like in recipes. They should go well, even in some simple mixes, with some what you'll have extra of, assuming you even like these flavors in things:
TFA Banana Cream
TFA Pineapple
TFA Coconut Candy
TFA Peach
TFA Marshmallow (a good "blender" flavoring)
TFA Vanilla Swirl (another good "blender)
CAP Blueberry Jam (a tiny amount goes a long way & it's wonderful with a cinnamojn danish type flavor)

TFA Coconut Candy

OH! Can you get syringes and blunt needle tips over there? If you can get syringes, but NOT the blunt needle tips...WL has them, and they don't weigh hardly anything! I'd get those while you can. 14ga.....and 16ga
Looks yummy but ill have another look today with the other left overs I have. Only problem is I dont think ill have a clue as to what im doing without a recipe (amatuer syndrome)

Awesome!! I'll check that out but I'm pretty sure we might have blunt needles here. It was mostly about us not knowing about what we were doing lol

Once I know what you're getting, I can go back and see what recipes I have...that can be made with them, and leftovers you have, if you'd like. Wouldn't take long. Even some simple ones are good, too...only 2-3 flavorings.
Thinking about what I make regularly...you might want to get more/larger TFA Strawberry Ripe. It's good and can be used in several other recipes. For example 1 of them is a NannerBerry mix that I make for myself and for my neighbor:
TFA Strawberry Ripe - 9%
TFA Banana Cream - 6%
TFA Cotton Candy - 1-2%
My original recipe calls for TFA Strawberry Ripe @ 6% + TFA Strawberry @ 3%, but it can be made either way. The 2 different strawberry flavorings just give it alittle tartness, if you like that. If not...use 9% Strawberry Ripe.

Another is a sort of Tropical Mix that takes the 2 strawberries above, some TFA Peach, TFA Coconut Candy, and TFA Sweetener. It's really good, too, and several people have me make it for them.
There's also a website or 2...where you can input the specific flavorings you have, and it'll search their database to find recipes you can make with them! Quite a few people use that feature, to use up leftovers, or flavorings they have no idea what to do with after they've gotten them!
Hahaha!!! That sounds neat, I think e-liquid-recipe has that too but did not realize it was for this purpose...

Both of these recipes look delicious but you might have to help me with the quantities: im guessing 8ml each new flavor plus a what-size strawberry ripe now? Yea TFA strawberry sounds good, if its one thing I learned so far its that you cant have enough strawberries

You might want a 30mL of TFA Strawberry Ripe, instead of an 8mL one. It's pretty popular in many recipes. The TFA Strawberry is less popular, IMO because it has ethyl alcohol in it, which means it needs to be evaporated off before vaping it. Easily to explain about that later though. It's just a more tart Strawberry than the Strawberry Ripe, too. I'd just get 8mL of it.
OH! I forgot to put the TFA Smooth, TFA Sweetener, TFA Cotton Candy on my recommended list above. 8mL of each would be best, but if you're taking off the FW Sweetener, you might want 30mL of the TFA Sweetener and forget the TFA Cotton Candy then.
By the way, are those mL you gave for each recipe...the total you plan to make of each recipe, but in smaller batches at a time? Or are you really planning on making each recipe in that 1, bigger batch of each? Reason I ask is...that's a whole lot of eliquid you may be not using if it turns out nasty and you've made that much at once!!
Maybe you'll need to learn about doing tiny (3-5mL) test samples of mixes first...before making 30mL and larger batches of it.
EDIT: Remember in your overall weight figuring...that each 30mL flavoring will take the place of probably 4 of the 8mL ones...weight-wise, especially since they're in 30mL glass bottles.

But, if a relative is coming back from the states in December...you could just get 8mL sizes of anything new we've talked about...find out if you like them, and then have your relative bring some 30mL ones back!
I have been away from ECF for the better part of a week and missed this thread. I have just read through all 5 pages and I have to say: @JCinFLA; you make me proud to be a part of this community! My father was a college professor and I must say your teacher's soul shines through! You, and so many others like you, represent all that drew me to ECF. Your warmth, patience, tenacity, and understanding should be commended. You are one incredible human being!
Thank you for your contributions!

JC, have you also tried FA Red Touch Strawberry? Is TFA Strawberry Ripe and TFA Strawberry superior to FA's because I really liked FAs.
Also, I have TFA Smooth and TFA EM 10 percent AKA tfa cotton candy as you recommended. Curious about TFA Sweetner though. This is no different than any other sucralose right? I Have a BIG bottle of NuSweets Sucralose from Amazon, is there any difference in buying TFAs Sweetner instead, is it more vape friendly because rumor has it some people think sucralose gunks coils.
My favorite Sweetner is Stevia Glycerite from NOW foods but also use EM and Sucralose from time to time...
