Really, all you need is the main post, comments can be helpful. Cruise through the recipes and see what appeals to you, make a list of flavoring from there. I use different flavorings, flavourart, TFA, Capella, Inawera, Nature's Flavors, very few Flavor West.. just a large variety of things. They all make good ones, everyone has their favorites. RESEARCH, lol.

I did a lot of reading before I bought anything. I had all my stuff for at least a month before I even started mixing and I was so nervous to begin. When I finally did mix the first one, I thought, "that's it?? That was easy!" Easy as it was, and still is, that first mix was so exciting and it tasted like absolute shit, LMAO. I stuck to other people's recipes until I became more comfy with how flavorings worked together. All DIYers eventually say, they can't believe they waited so long to start.
^^^THIS^^^. I've been mixing for more than two years. I didn't research enough when I first started and only had minimal success at it. When I found VU and the DIY section here it was a total game changer. Now I'm even selling to several friends. The best advice I could give you @Skullzz is to start small. Pick a few recipes that only have a few ingredients,,, like 3-4 and start there. I use ELiquidRecipes.com a lot. Pick recipes that have comments, read the comments... There's tons of info and tips there. It can be quite intimidating and often frustrating but that first mix that makes you go YUM is so rewarding!

Good morning corner☕

I was thinking of just doing single flavor stuff for now. I only like the fruity stuff so shouldn't be too hard lol

You'll find it very hard... to use just one flavor and expect it to taste like anything you want to vape. I've tried just ONE flavor like that: TFA's Banana Nut Bread. Everything else I've tried, it needs supporting flavors, creams and vanillas and sweetener, to taste like anything. A fruit "flavor" isn't like the fruit itself... it's just the flavor of the fruit, without the sweet or tart or whatever... it's a building block, not an entire structure -- you wouldn't make a cake out of just one ingredient, would you?

And also.. morning y'all. Not sure why I woke up this early, but here I am. :) Headache's a little better, but I feel weird.. kinda lightheaded. Not sure what's up with that.

Me too, fruits. What I've discovered about fruits is that often you have to mix a couple different kinds, or brands, to get what you're looking for. Take peach for example... There's white peach, juicy peach, peach, honey peach, yellow peach.... There's a bunch!!! My favorite strawberry is a mix of TFA strawberry and TFA ripe strawberry. It's a lot of trial and error and I've mixed more drain cleaner than I care to admit. Research is the key,, I didn't research nearly enough when I started.

I suppose it's spring somewhere but right now it's snowing again here

Made me giggle...reminded me of an old joke...my gf told me she wanted me to give her 12 inches and make it hurt...so I screwed her twice and hit her with a brick.

Meantime, you act like our engagement isn't important and then tease me with pictures....shame on you whiskey...just like the golden brown liquid I adore so much...I can't resist you and yet I feel like you're sooooo bad for me.

No bueno...I know you don't do coffee, but a lack of caffeine (tea) can have that effect...a single aspirin (which contains caffeine) might help.

Afghanistan? Just out of curiosity are you in the US Military or are you a contractor over there?
if not just wondering who would pick to live in a hellhole like Afghanistan , LOL
Contractor...but 7yrs now...so I'm looking to buy property on the good side of the land mine field.
It takes a special kind of mentally challenged asshole to choose this line of work....thankfully, I was over-qualified LOL

Sorta thought so.. about 10 years ago I went for an interview to drive a fuel truck in Iraq for a contractor. But I turned it down because I got to thinking what good would all that money be if I got killed over there..
