I’m still on the hunt for more decent DIY recipes.
As I’m not very savvy with making recipes from scratch and I’m about as far as original as you can get.,
I thought maybe I can post the flavors I do have and maybe some folks can suggest awesome flavors with my flavors to try mixing up that

If you have an account at ELR, you should enter all of your flavors into the Flavor Stash. You can then link to it and anyone can view it. Make sure at the top you've selected the box "Allow others to see my flavor stash".

Here's some helpful ELR links as well, sometimes simple is the way to go:

I have something (a workbook with multiple spreadsheet) that may help you with DIY in addition to ELR. If you’re interested PM me your e-mail and I can send it to you or give you access to it via my Google Drive.

Yep ELR is a must... also check out https://alltheflavors.com/ & https://diyordievaping.com/ while older https://www.kritikalmass.net has some good items. I would say look for some clone recipes that are like juices you had and liked before you started DIY... Some of my favorites juices are not complex and only have 2 -3 flavors in them...

nadalama · Apr 3, 2018

I saw a few decent recipes at 99juices.com last night, although some of the people that post there seem to use upwards of 20% flavoring in their mixes. No longer than I've been at this, I can already tell that in most cases that would be far too much flavoring for me.

Try the Community Flavor Packs at Bull City Flavors.

https://www.bullcityflavors.com/full-recipe-discounted/

You not only get the recipe but discounts on the flavors you need to make it.

I am rather new to DIY myself and I have not hit a dud with these packs yet!

+1 to all the above. Your flavor stash looks ok....missing(for me) a few key flavors, but my palate is pretty diverse. Not to say yours isn’t....I don’t know what you like! You seem to run the fruit gamut, which is awesome, but maybe look to stretch yourself a bit? What do you like? What do you hate?

When I first started doing DIY I was searching for recipes just like you and the asshole DIY Gurus on that other forum pissed me off so royally I did my own thing. One of the reasons I took the path I did was because many DIY'ers use flavorings I am not comfortable with using and they just do not listen to straight forward questions. Now it is basically impossible to create something for someone not knowing their likes and dislikes but if you do list what you have I might be able to give you a suggestion for something simple that you can tweak to you liking. Good luck~!

I donated to VU and to ELR a while back, but didn’t know it came with perks or that I should let @Roundhouse know about it...will do that now

How dare you incinerate that I don’t know how to use big words!

Forgot that I didn’t list my flavor stash *FacePalm*

What key flavors might that be? I’m starting another BCF basket because I’m wanting a Key Lime Pie juice and would be more than happy to pick up some decent staple flavors even if I don’t have a current recipe for them.

Cap Sugar Cookie, TFA Bavarian cream, cap sweet cream, TFA cheesecake graham crust and a custard of some sort are the ones that pop out at me. Mind you, I’m a bakery/cream/custard fiend, so that may color my preferences. But adding those flavors might open things up for you on ELR. And FLV mango, if you go for the tropical type flavors. And FLV Rich Cinnamon for the cinnamon lovers. Again, just my humble opinion......

me and my 400 flavors.....yikes.....

If I were going to start with something simple using that list of flavors, I'd go for Grape Ice. About 7.5% Grape Candy and 2% Peppermint. No clue whether OP would like that, but think @wildgypsy70 would be on board. Am I remembering correctly, Vape Mom?

Also would suggest that for someone who loves fruit flavors, rainbow drops (TFA) are very versatile, and help bring out strawberry flavors quite effectively. I expect to be using a lot of rainbow drops.

I am on board! I love grape flavors but haven’t found a favorite yet....sigh.

I'm not ecstatic over the grape flavors I have either. Ordered some Sweet & Tart the other day, and had considered adding some of it to the grape candy to see what happens (in a small test batch, of course). Wish we could find a grape that tastes like grape juice.

It’s a tough one, to be sure. I’ve kind of given up on it for the time being. But maybe I just need some inspiration.....and maybe some more grape to play with.

You should pick up some Inawera Raspberry Concentrate. It's a good one, very potent, and popular. It pairs really well with FA Fuji.

My Unicorn Recipe (something damn near impossible to catch) involves grape. My favorite Koolaid growing up was Purplesaurus Rex

The WF-Sweet and Sour Purple Drink that @Mykreign turned me onto was a big step in the right direction...using it in combo with TFA-Grape Candy and INW-Grape helped mellow the harshness of the grape flavor. The wall I’m hitting now is I’m trying to figure out how to use LA-Lemonade and/or WF-Summertime Lemonade in it without it coming out tasting like Lemon Pledge!

I have mixed this up and I do like it. I did end up boasting the lemonade up after this steeped for about a week by 1% (just personal preference) and Sicily up .5% - saw another thread around here about FA Lemon Sicily not being as strong as it used to be-unsure if this was related or again just a personal preference to increase the flavor a little for me... No "pledge/chemical" taste to me...

Some solid lemons are FE and JF Lemon Juicy.

I really like the FE lemon(0.8%) and FA lemon cicily(1.5%) combo.

Word to the wise, and @wildgypsy70 , DON'T add blueberry and sweet & tart to your grape/menthol mix. Blech! Ptooey!

I'm glad I only ruined one tank. Tastes exactly like the Dawn dish soap I accidentally got in my mouth and eyes a while back.

Argh! Thanks for the heads up! Just got FW grape soda today....high hopes. I’ll let you know!
