I have a cart started. I keep telling myself I don't need anything. It's hard to talk oneself out of ordering when there is a possibility it could be the flavor of my dreams. So far I'm happy with Flavorah, Inawera (some) and capella (some). The flavorah tobacoo flavors are so good I may never go back to Hangsen or Inawera cuban cigar absolute.
I've got some stixx mixx that I really like. I made a vanilla bacco like 1.5 months ago and forgot about it and I pulled it out yesterday and it was really freaking good. I've never really vaped tobaccos, but I can get down with it. I'm gonna add some Holy Grail RY4 to the next batch and steep it up.

I think I'm just going to order right now. At the point I'm at I'm saving 9% by not having to pay shipping, unless the coupon code is going to be like 20% off (they are usually 15%) then I am not even going to save $$ because 4.75 for shipping will put me at $51.82 ($54.75 with freeship) hahah and I'm itching to order this stuff hahah. I would save myself $6 at most by waiting.

At least you will know its in stock. :) I'm hoping I can order Sat night/early Sun. I have a ton of projects to complete. If I can't I order later on. I have a ton of unopened flavors already screaming at me to be mixed.

I mixed the WW waffle one up last night. I haven't tried it yet. I heard they need a week steep. It smells good. I'm hoping to mix the cookie bite (molinberry) this weekend. I'm doing garden related stuff right now.
ahh. well they are cheap enough that if they are really good I can always just pick them up. I just spent a ton of money on flavors this week when I TOLD MYSELF I wasn't going to. I really am not next week hahah.

I have to plant my garden asap. It's still been a little too cold here. I need tomatoes, cucumber, squash, zucchini, carrots, maybe a couple others. I do it every year and get a good yield.
I have seedlings under the grow lights and need to till the garden. I have a new spot for some kakai pumpkins (hulless seeds). I'm also looking for a plum tree/whip.

So I made some testings tonight. Ten MLs-

  • FLV Guanabana
  • FLV Apple Filling
  • FLV Berry Jammy
  • FLV Sour Apple
  • TFA RY4 Double
  • TFA French Van. Deluxe
  • WF Choc. Cookie Crust
  • FW Sugar Cookie
There's bound to be a good flavor or two out of these.
I know the apple filling is delicious. I just ordered the jammy berry. Idk what a Guanabana is so I don’t have it. I can never find the sour apple.

Fuji apple must not be my thing. The apple mixed with the green of the orange. Taste like poo not from a unicorn

Yea I'm still undecided on fuji apple (FA though). It seems to be a beloved flavor among diyers but it's pretty potent and kind of an odd apple flavor. Better than PUR's fuji (country apple) but I'm not sure. I like CAP double apple well enough, a mild sweet apple but there's not enough there. Not quite crisp enough but that fuji goes too hard the other direction I think.

Guess I should've known apples and oranges don't mix. Lol

Maybe a different orange? I love Caps Fuji.

What was the issue? The Apple mixing with the orange in a strange way? Or maybe drop the orange to 1%. Fa can be a little strong sometimes.

When a scale is used, do you use a syringe or pipette for flavor or nic to get the exact weight in the bottle?

I try to buy all my flavors in squeeze bottles with the drip top. Use syringe for PG, a bottle with a glass dropper for Nicotine and lately I have switched to all Gorilla bottles for my mixes so I can just pour the VG into the larger neck. Forcing VG through a large syringe is a PIA!

Yeah, the quantity of pg/vg seems easy enough to weigh from a bottle.
But with each individual flavoring and nic, it seems need to control the weight by less than drops from a bottle. Like a syringe or pipette...no?
I'm just starting so for now I just want something simple that works. And maybe investigate bottles after I have some experience.

I don't see being "exact" necessary . does .05g really matter. jmho
Like I said, I'm new...I know zilch... other than what I think I know...which can be detrimental :)
I squeeze everything by drops right into the bottle. My PG & VG are in condiment bottles and my nic for mixing is in a 30ML PET dropper bottle. I can't be bothered to use anything I don't need to.
You squeeze flavors and nic straight from the bottle they arrive in?

Most of the time, yes. Sometimes If I have a really large bottle (of flavoring), I'll tranfer it to a smaller bottle. I'm not going to use a 4 or 8oz bottle of flavoring to mix. I like 30ml bottles or less for mixing. When that runs out, It'll get refilled by the bigger bottle.

Most of the flavors I have bought have dropper tips on them or whatever they're called. They're perfect for mixing on a scale.

The nic I use for mixing is in a similar bottle. PET plastic with a dropper tip. I got them on Fasttech. They are 30ml and amber colored.

have you ordered any flavors yet ? I think you just got a scale, didn't you ?
About to order flavors, although I should be more prepared. It's ok. Bound to be some not used or much when just starting.
Not yet but will be the one you linked.

I'm almost ready for my first order, I think. Everything but nic, and a scale.
I may want/need bottles for dispensing that BCF dons't have, esp for nic. But for now I can get by with what I have till I've worked with everything.
For flavors I was getting this since I like custard, and don't have a recipe in mind to follow. And there's some flavors in there that I can use in a diff recipe as well as I'm getting a few others.

A couple of the others is
Butter Cream . But can I get an opinion on Fw or Cap?
Caramel - FA . There's a few. I know everything depends on something, but is this one good?
And a I have a couple others that I've decided on.

Who for nic? Nic River? LNW? Does it matter what the base is?

I use a syringe for nic. For nic a lot of people buy from Nicotine River. I got mine at Vaperstek. I would look for a recipe like you did & then buy flavors for your recipe. FA Caramel is a good one. I have the Caps Butter Cream. But what will you do with them?

@Vape Fan There are probably as many different ways of doing all this as there are mixers. The first nic I ordered came in a 30ml PET dropper bottle. I've just been refilling that same bottle and keeping the rest of the nic in the bottle it came in, stored in the fridge.

Nic River bases come with those dripper tops that you turn to open and then turn back to close. I just dispense PG & VG directly from those bottles, using those tops, into the 30ml gorilla bottle where I've already put my nic and flavors. I mix just about everything in 30ml sizes now. I vape at pretty low wattage, and it doesn't make sense for me to mix more than 30ml at a time of one flavor. 30ml can last me as long as six weeks, but then again, I have quite a few mixes going at once.

Can't imagine having to move all the flavors from the bottles they came in to some other kind of bottle - when you have a couple hundred flavors onhand, that would get to be a real PITA. I still order most flavors in 10-13-15 ml sizes, so I dispense them directly out of the bottle they came in. If I move up to 30ml, that means it's a flavor I know I use a lot, and I'll save the 10-13-15 ml original bottle and refill it.

Some flavors from DIYFS came in brown glass vials, and those I did move into needle-nose squeezy bottles.
