The holiday weekends are when the best sales come around, best time to stock up!
Thanks for the list! I got my nicotine,PG, and VG from Nicotine River.Start making your list of new flavors now Mark, Memorial day weekend is only 2 months away
Good idea to get a list ready of flavors you might need. Also if you are concerned about diketones then good idea to find out which flavors have them or not. http://www.bullcityvapor.com/ is a good place as they list which flavors have bad stuff or not, http://www.ecigexpress.com/ is not as good at marking flavors but they usually have the best holiday weekend sales.
If I remember correctly you got most of your flavors from DIYFS, not familiar with what they have to offer, never ordered from them. Here is a list of some of the most popular flavors out there though:
CAP Vanilla Custard (Original has diketones, V2 does not)
CAP Cake Batter (Has diketones but even though I try and stay away this flavor is strong enough that 0.50% goes a long way)
CAP Sweet Strawberry
TFA Ripe Strawberry
INW Shisha Strawberry (my personal favorite)
FA Fuji Apple
INW Two Apples
TFA Brown Sugar
FA Marshmallow
FA Fresh Cream
FA Meringue
FA White Peach
INW Peach
TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust
CAP NY Cheesecake (Has diketones)
TFA Caramel (there new one has no diketones, not strong but I love it, never tried there original with diketones)
FW Natural Butterscotch
FW Yellow Cake
CAP Sweet Cream
CAP Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
INW Biscuit
FA Cookie
Lorann Banana Cream Colorless
INW Banana
INW Shisha Vanilla
FW Natural Orange
INW Pineapple
TFA Apple Pie
TFA Bavarian Cream (Original has diketones, DX version does not)
For sure I have missed some but it is late
Additives you might consider:
Ethyl Maltol (a type of sweetener, also known as cotton candy TFA)
TFA Sweetener (Sucralose)
One on One Flavors Sweetener (not sucralose or Stevia, works well with fruit vapes as it appears to be citric acid based)
Acetyl Pyrazine (not sure if this is really needed, used already in flavors such as FA cookie and others, if I do use it the amount is very small, like 0.25%)
Nicotine:
http://www.carolinaxtract.com/ Very clean nic and use the coupon code Dada1 for discount. Comes in an amber glass bottle with dropper so it is great for storing in the freezer and longevity.
http://www.vaperstek.org/premium-nicotine/ Really clean nic as well, a favorite around here. Comes in a plastic bottle with regular cap though, I usually transfer to an amber glass bottle for storage.
https://www.nudenicotine.com/ has quality nic as well, comes in amber plastic bottle but can be ordered in amber glass bottles for a premium.
My personal favorite is carolinaxtract, just as clean as the other 2 I mentioned but the nic comes packed properly so there is no transferring to glass bottles.
PG/VG:

The best deal around and even though a gallon seems like a lot you will be surprised at how fast you can go through VG.
When you're ready to order again just start a new thread and list what kind of recipes your looking to put together, this forum is chock full of really helpful people.
It has been about 7 months for me doing DIY but it has been a blast, happy to see you join the bandwagon!
Congratulations Mark, I've been making my own for a long time, i find it fun to do and interesting to find new flavors to try. Good Job!
Currently, I have 174 flavors. However, I still stumble over recipes, where I'm missing 1 or 2 flavors.
No, I bought two of these http://www.amazon.com/Brand-Register-Polish-Bottles-Unbreakable/dp/B00CJ0TZ2S
That'll do the job too.
Congrats.Well as the title says, I finally broke down and made some juice last night, and it turned out very well!
I would like to thank each and everyone on VU who nudged me towards DIY, and gave me the encouragement to jump into this wonderful aspect of the vaping hobby! You guys rock!
I make juice just about errnight
I usually mix on the weekend. However, I also mix 120 ml batches from different recipes, at a time. Depending on the juice, and tank, they last one to two weeks.I make juice just about errnight
I have three recipes that I like as my ADV. Another two recipes are still being tweaked. However, I'm getting close with both of them. It's more like a fine tuning. I recently switched one of those liquids from a TFV4 to a Griffin, and it tastes totally different. I'm getting a lot more of each of the flavors from the Griffin. Therefore, I'm tweaking it for the Griffin.

One of the best parts of DIY is the variety of mixes we can rotate through and not get bored with the same old thing all the time.
But I can usually only vape through 15ml, and then I need a change, or sooner if my mix is crappy

I have to get ready for work soon, so no time tonight.
HA!
This is soooo true. One of my faves with one tank is a creamy vanilla, with another, it's only a cookie, with another it's a sweet cookie, and finally with another, it's a vanilla cookie. Just crazy how it can change. I keep the mix roughly the same for the most part, sometimes boost one flavor a tad.
Awesome, Mark, I'm proud of you! Just wait...this little journey has just begun for you. Next is a lifestyle, then addiction, and finally a full blown obsession. Lol!
Or is it just me who has over 500 flavors and an office that looks like a vape store?
I'm not there, yet, but I'm definitely getting there. Over 200 right now. You're an enabler, so I'm sure that'll change,Awesome, Mark, I'm proud of you! Just wait...this little journey has just begun for you. Next is a lifestyle, then addiction, and finally a full blown obsession. Lol!
