twisted · Apr 19, 2015

Ok thank you any what do you guys thing about milk or malted milk for cereal flavors or do you guys just use creams?

RocketPuppy · Apr 19, 2015

For what it's worth, my suggestion is before ordering so many flavors from one company, order a few small sized flavors from many companies. I started with TFA and only liked a few of them. You can get a variety of brands from ecigexpress, BullCityVapor, OneStopDIYShop, RTS...

twisted · Apr 19, 2015

Yea i was looking at bullcity. Only reason I am thinking of doing alot of tfa is most recipes use them and they seem to be liked by most people

RocketPuppy · Apr 19, 2015

If you go to the recipe section and search HeadinClouds, you'll find some amazing recipes that use FlavourArt.

twisted · Apr 19, 2015

Ok thanks will look into flavor art

RocketPuppy · Apr 19, 2015

Each company has some amazing flavors. There are a ton of threads around here with great info.

twisted · Apr 19, 2015

Yes there are. I have been reading alot this last week between here and other forums and websites

If you want a good TFA Cheesecake, get the Cheesecake Graham Crust, not the plain Cheesecake.

Zamazam · Apr 20, 2015

I started DIY with Capella and TFA, then I bought a few bottles of FA flavors when the TFA was out of stock. What a difference! Some flavors TFA and Capella do quite well, same with FA.

I did that too when I first started DIY. Many of those TFA flavors I have barely used. The 4 I have seen as must haves are Cheesecake Graham Crust, Brown Sugar, Green Tea and Acetyl Pyrazine 5%.
For my tastes, Flavor West Key Lime is much better then TFA's. The other fruit flavors could be good to start with.
When it comes to creams, FlavourArt has the best ones that I have tried so far.
I do like the Sweet Tart, Banana (Ripe) and the Juicy Peach.

I would have liked this suggestion when I first started DIY. I would have saved allot of money and had better mixes to start off with.

Wizard Labs has a good price on 8ml tfa, capella, and Lorann's at $1.50. The best place for 3ml flavour art is www.mamajsjuice.com for $1.50. Flavour Art is much more concentrated so you use much less, therefore saving money, which in turn can buy more flavoring....

MamaJ's also has lightning fast ship speed and impeccable customer service!

FL_David · Apr 20, 2015

I ordered some FlavourArt from E-liquid Mart on the 10th and then some more from MamaJ's on the 14th. I already did a mix from MamaJ's order and still waiting on my E-liquid Mart order.
I got turned off by the 3ml size samples when I had bought a few from PureVapes long ago. The labels were handwritten which later faded to nothing when one bottle leaked a bit of flavoring in the bag I had them in.
I tried again with MamaJ's as the size makes sense when one wants to try a new flavor. The labels are printed and easy to read. A major plus for me.

twisted · Apr 20, 2015

Thanks for the responses guys. I wouldn't mind get flavors from different manufactures just don't know which manufactures have better types of juices. From my list if a company makes one better let me know. And if there's something missing from my list let me know.

I can get five orders from MamaJ's in the time it takes to get one from ELiquidMart. And MamaJ's is much further away from me! I only order from ELM or PureVapes if absolutely no one else has what I'm looking for.

LOL, I see twisted posted this question over at that other place too. The answers here are far more useful then over there. No real surprise.

I was researching FA Fuji flavor and came across some old posts by some of my favorite people here. I may be there for a while reading. Hehe.

Huckleberried · Apr 20, 2015

That's a good thread over there, too. You'll notice when we moved.

Huckleberried · Apr 20, 2015

@twisted, Bavarian Cream is good, FA has Vienna Cream, which is awesome. I'd get FA Black Cherry instead of TFA. Is the Cinnamon a cinnamon spice or like a Red Hot? If a spice, you want FA Cinnamon Ceylon. FA White Peach (you're welcome). FA Lemon Sicily, Papaya, Strawberry. Capella's Sweet Cream or FA Fresh Cream over the TFA Sweet Cream. Caps Vanilla Custard, FA Watermelon and Banana, Caps Cake Batter, FA Marshmallow.

This is all my opinion based on my flavor preferences.

I failed to notice when you moved, but I did read some of your posts while I was lurking in the DIY section I was hoping to find some of HIC's TFA based recipes. I may go look again and keep my mind off of stalking the mail person.I have new flavors and nic coming today. Yea!
I don't want to go through all the hoops getting a new password since I would prolly find a post to comment on and get banned. Lol.

I was amazed for a while reading the posts from 2008 on DIY. We have it so easy these days.

twisted · Apr 20, 2015

Thanks huckleberry will look into those brands. And did you guys mean my post on the other forum?

twisted · Apr 21, 2015

Anyone else any flavors I listed or not that you think I should get from a different manufacture

Medusa2112 · Apr 21, 2015

Any recipe I ever posted over there that's worth making is in the recipes subforum here. If it's there and not here, I can't recommend making it! Just a few use mostly TFA.

twisted · Apr 22, 2015

I noticed your recipes use mainly flavourart. And they all sound really good

twisted · Apr 23, 2015

Ok looking at reviews and everything I think I will go mainly with flavourart and what I can't get from them I will get from tfa. everyone says the fruits and creams are better from fa. I will post up a order later. Please let me know what you guys think of it

twisted · Apr 24, 2015

This is what I got so far

Papaya
Peach or white peach
Cherry or black cherry

And
Fw yellow cake

that's the list I have came up with. Not sure which type of peach, cherry, apple and chocolate to get, trying to figure out there differences. Let me know what you think. If there's something one company does better then the other, or sub something for a better flavor let me know. Or if there are any must haves I am missing. Thanks for the help. Trying to make my first order the best as possible.

Huckleberried · Apr 24, 2015

White Peach
Both cherries
Both apples
**FA Custard is not a vanilla custard, but you do want this flavor for fruits. If you want a vanilla custard, go with they Caps Vanilla Custard, or in a addition to.

Those are my 2 cents. Good lookin' orders! Where ya buying?

I think you'll be far happier with this set than you would have been with list you first posted. I'd say you've already saved yourself a chunk of change by not getting that original list, so the few you are now debating as either/or choices - why not get both (both peach, cherry, apple, and chocolate flavors).

twisted · Apr 24, 2015

Ok thanks guys will just get both of the doubles u listed. As far as where I am going to probably get them from bullcityvapor.com. they have everything in stock. Does anyone have any coupon codes for them?

twisted · Apr 24, 2015

I noticed that most of fa flavors you use very same amounts. What's the best way to measure them?

twisted · Apr 24, 2015

The only thing I can order from bull city is 3 and 5 ml syringes and 3ml pipettes. I looked up how much flavor I need to added to a 10ml recipe and if I do 1% it's .1 ml. What do you guys use for such small messurements?

You could get a bunch of these, which measure down to tenths of ml.: http://www.bullcityvapor.com/1ml-luer-slip-syringe/
You might want some of these to attach for getting in narrow bottle necks: http://www.bullcityvapor.com/1-luer-lock-blunt-tip/

OR if you want to mix by using drops, you can use these: http://www.bullcityvapor.com/3ml-pipette/ . You have to measure to see how many drops per ml each makes (then write it on the bulb in Sharpie to remember). They're usually around 25 drop/ml, so 1 drop of flavoring in 8ml of unflavored nic base gives you 0.5% flavoring.

twisted · Apr 24, 2015

I got a few 3ml pipettes but the other 2 links they are out of stock on. I got some 3ml ones and 5 ml ones ordered.

Teresa P · Apr 24, 2015

I got a ton of them from eBay for around five bucks.

twisted · Apr 25, 2015

Are there like stores I could go to to get 1 ml syringes?

Smoky Blue · Apr 25, 2015

you can buy a bunch on line, but if you just want a hand full. try going to your local pharmacy and explain you want some oral syringes..
that you want to mix ejuice to stop smoking and chances are, they will give you a handful..

ebay and amazon both are great.. and you can find 100 for under 10.00 if you look hard..

twisted · Apr 25, 2015

Ok will try the pharmacy. Want to try and get it at a local store instead of making another order and pissing my wife off. Lol

Smoky Blue · Apr 25, 2015

Good luck!

Huckleberried · Apr 25, 2015

You could try a vet supply or if you have a Tractor Supply, they sell them. Bull City has a standing discount for VU. VU6 at checkout gives you 6% off your order.

For small mixes, I use drops, like HIC mentioned. For larger batches, I use a scale.

Heabob · Apr 25, 2015

FA Chocolate
FA Marzipan
FA Vanilla Classic (one of the better vanillas IMO)
CAP Vanilla Custard (I like V1 better)
CAP Sweet Cream & TFA Sweet Cream
FW Hazelnut
FW Cinnamon Roll (more of a sweet bakery flavor, even good as stand alone)
FW Butter Pecan (another good stand alone flavor)

FYI: Some have the "baddies" so...

twisted · Apr 25, 2015

Placed my order last night. Missed out on the code it's only 6% though

twisted · Apr 25, 2015

I use steamengine it doesn't say anything about drops for a mix. And what would you do the drops from?

Huckleberried · Apr 25, 2015

Drops from the flavoring bottle itself.

twisted · Apr 25, 2015

Ok wasn't sure they had a dropper on them

Teresa P · Apr 25, 2015

I actually bought a bunch of droppers in the Kroger pharmacy (two in a pack for 99 cents) - some of my flavor bottles have the fat, rounded tips that I prefer but some have the thin, skinny tips and I don't think their drops are as consistent. With the pharmacy droppers, I know they're all pretty much the same size drops. Probably just me and my OCD......lol!

I did order some of the 3ml pipettes so if anything I can try those. And I sent you a message back teresa

twisted · Apr 25, 2015

Got everything that was on my 2 list ordered minus tfa berry crunch, tfa sweet tart and cap cake batter. Should be here tuesday. Now time to look up some recipes.

twisted · Apr 27, 2015

Everything is coming in today. Got a few recipes I found.if anyone has any suggestions or starting points let me know. Thanks

Fleet Farm sells boxes of 100+ Syringes in various sizes. I personally use the 3cc, 12cc, and 35cc syringes from there. Last time I bought a box it was $14 for 100 3cc syringes with 21g needles. They are all sterile, individually wrapped, and come with the needles. They also offer the syringes by themselves without the needles in 6cc and 15cc. Hope this helps.
On a side note...FW Natural Key Lime is my friend. Just sayin. Make sure you shake the hell out of it though
