Have you tried putting Banana in the search box here...

...or maybe in other search boxes in the DIY juice area? It can get you some opinions.

Yeah theres a lot of threads out there on banana flavors if you search.
Meanwhile, the best advice I can give is just buy a bunch of 8 or 10ml samples.
TFA makes a few good banana flavors imo.
Banana Cream, Banana Nut Bread, Bananas Foster are good and work well with recipes that call for a more realistic banana like cheesecakes and other bakery recipes. Ripe Banana is also supposed to be good, but I haven't tried it yet.

I would advise against vaping any banana flavor as a standalone. However…
I found that LorAnn has a great Banana Creme. Im trying to clone Funky Monkey by Apollo (Fa-Q). My favorite vape before I started Diying. It says it is a Kiwi Strawberry Banana but I know they don't say everything they add to the juice.
Magic josh .. mix this one up..

Word! Will do. Ill be back with my impressions.
Yeah it's a great one... I just noticed your looking for funky monkey.. obviously that is not gonna be it .. but it's good nonetheless..
LOR b Cream is good .. as is tfa b cream... heard good things re HS banana as well...
Have had good luck using tfa banana nut bread in small amounts with other bananas .. I like the texture it gives. Just got Caps banana split in to try.. will post after I get a chance to taste it.

Recently made up one of squonks recipes banana graham for mongo lovely recipe must say really enjoying it being I never tired banana before tried the same mix with 4 different bananas
Capella, TFA, Inawera, FA
INW is the most potent would say 1-1.5% is needed max or it overtakes every other flavour...tastes a little like runts I actually like it quite a lot probably will use this one a fair bit at 1%
FA is the most natural banana like of the lot at 2% not overly sweet but a satisfying vape needs a good steep though smells minging to begin with but melds really well
Cap and TFA taste like the soft banana penny sweets to me of the two I prefer TFA it's has a nicer flavour and less chemical after taste I'd recommend TFA at 3% and cap at 3.5%
All require a good steep 8days and don't recommend them as standalone flavours

Of the 4 banana flavors you tried are you saying the inawera is your favorite?

That's really difficult I like them all to be honest (cap probably the least although smells the nicest to me) ... They bring different things to the table depending on the recipe you are going for
For that recipe squonk put together he listed FA banana to go in it, and it's the best suited as it doesnt overtake the other flavours after the steep although adjusting a mix always takes time to your liking
I've really enjoyed TFA and INW though for thier flavour association I mentioned above but then I prefer the artificial taste over the real thing
If I were to list this as of today I'd go (but that might change hehe)
TFA
INW
FA
CAP
If you prefer real tasting go FA all the way out of that list
So, if I wanted to try tomake a banana shake vape I really need to get samples of all 4 and try each to see which one I like the best? Maybe try them in different amounts as well?

Up to you could probably do without the cap one being it's really close to TFA
I don't normally buy loads like that but wanted to try them in this case cause I wasn't sure how each would be and all 3 are very different ...do you like real bananas or the artificial banana flavour? Try them at those percentages i said first mate can always add more if needed later also use as part of a recipe like I said might taste chemically if stand alone
Kreed's Thick Banana Milkshake

Pretty good although I subbed the DX Banana Cream with the regular version.
Might be a bit too potent for some but I did reduce the amounts a bit.

I don't know for sure which I would prefer so I guess I need to try a small sample of all 3.
That looks good! I've bookmarked it and will try it as soon as I can get a flavor order in.
Many thanks to Both of you guys!
