Yeah Custard is one I forgot. d'oh
ya I so far have fresh cream, v cream, custard and possibly cream fresh but im not sure what cream fresh is. cant remember if that was a actual thing or a typo on my behalf. I have whip cream also as someone told me it functions like marshmellow as a sweetner.

Fresh Cream and Cream Fresh are one in the same. Most sites rebottle and make their own labels. I have bottles both ways.
Here is what worked better for me when I wanted to try FA flavors. Instead of getting the 10 ml I went to eliquid mart and bought 5 ml samplers. By doing it that way i was able to pick 30 different flavors at $1.69 each which came out to $50.70. This qualified for free shipping (over $50). You do this 4 times and you will pretty much have every FA flavor out there. 5 ml of flavoring will allow you experiment and mix a ton of recipes. It will also help you realize which flavors you use a lot of so you can order bigger amounts next time.
Good advice. Honestly Ive tried a lot of FA back in the day but have been vaping the China and russian Sc flavors for a couple years. I spent close to $200 on bakers flavors direct from russia and still have a bunch left but I need a change. Im also missing good cream flavorings. Some cerial vapes sound tasty or a good strawberry milk.
For FA my favorites are:
Cookie
Vienna Cream
Fresh Cream
Fuji Apple
It is all taste dependent, my favorites are in no way someone else favorites, I just have a preference. I do have other FA flavors but after experimenting with some others I have my preferences. FA custard doesn't equal CAP's custard, FA Apple Pie doesn't equal TFA Apple Pie, FA Caramel doesn't equal most of other company's caramel, it is just not that good.
Not to pick on FA but there not the tops for every flavor out there.

Add to the list Mandarin and Nut Mix
My list of must-have FA flavors, for DIYers new to them: http://vapingunderground.com/threads/what-are-your-must-have-fa-flavors.13810/
if you could pick one would it be marshmallow or whip cream? I was told the whip cream was kinda like the marshmallow and used more as a sweetner.
EDIT: Thanks HIC you posted as I was typing
Marshmallow's sweeter and has a little vanilla flavor to it. Whipped Cream has diketones and isn't intended for vaping; Fresh Cream is a no-diketone plain cream flavor that's really good, true to its name.
Vienna Cream, Fresh Cream, Meringue, White Peach, Fuji Apple, Torrone, Joy, Vanilla Classic, Vanilla Bourbon, Marzipan and Almond for me are the must haves as I think these are the best out there either in terms of quality like Fuji Apple being by far the best apple I have tried, or in terms of enhancers like Meringue, Torrone and Joy that you just dont get anywhere else. I could add a few more to the list like tobaccos and other nuts but the ones mentioned are the ones I think you would use again and again in various types of different recipes.
Totally agree with this, all subjective. FA Apple Pie is the only pie I have but I dont get a huge amount out of it, the only recipe it has worked really well in for me is HICs Sugary Apple whatever it was called. FA caramel works ok for me as a sweetener but I really dont get good caramel flavour from it, neither do I from the butterscotch. There are a few dont work well for me personally: coconut, orange, apricot, blackberry, fig, cuban supreme and then there are a few I love such as Soho, Tuscan Reserve and Cola that others may not like.
I see a lot of this site in love with Flavour Art and how it is by far the best flavourings out there. I partially disagree, I think every company i have tried has good and bad flavourings and that includes Flavour Art. I have more Flavour Art than any other different brands and what I would say is the majority of there flavours are the most authentic and with flavours like meringue, torrone & joy to name a few they have great flavourings for backnotes and balancing out recipes I havent found from other vendors...but dont narrow yourself down as the likes of Capellas Donut and V1 custard, Flavour Wests Yellow Cake, Inawera AM4A, raspberry and cactus to name but a few there are many other great flavourings as well you cant get from Flavour Art concentrates.
Ya I get that the purpose really for me since I have been out of it for so long is to get a solid list of multi recipe flavors that seem to show up time and time again for adding to recipes. It seems FA has quite a few of those. Truth be told Im looking for those types of flavors from any brand really so I shouldnt have put FA in the tittle thinking back on it.
I mean if anyone has other brands feel free. I have been really missing out on the creams so that has been my main focus right at this moment. I dont necessarily want custard but flavorings to give me good creamy/milky bases to add with good fruits like banana and strawberry. I have a pretty good chocolate banana I make right now but again its missing that cream/milky part that I know would make it really rock.
The Fa just seems to play well with others better sometimes.

TFA
Brown Sugar
Cranberry
Holiday Spice
CAP
Sweet Cream
Juicy Strawberry
Juicy Orange
I'd have to go through my boxes to pick out all my faves, but those stand out to me. I don't like custard, but the Caps gets rave reviews. As far as vanilla creamy flavors, my top choice is FA.

You definately cant go wrong with FA creams and vanilla flavourings especially as they are without nasties in as well. I like sweet cream and vanilla bean ice cream by other brands but if you have the flavour art ones you dont really need them. The only one I would say is really nice and different to fa ones would be bavarian cream.
Ya, I had a bunch of different stuff I was going to buy until I went to bullcity. I have to say I really appreciate how they list flavoring that have bad shit in it even if its in very small amounts. I really think that needs to be a industry standard and frankly I think ill give them my business even if it costs more. I am not saying I wouldnt vape a flavor that has any of it in them but I should have the choice. You shouldn't have to do hours and hours of reading and research to track it down.
Kudo's to them they earned a new customer. Sorry if that was out of the blue but I was at their site loading up the cart when you posted hehe.

I like that list other then the tobacco one as I don't do tobacco flavors.
What HIC said and the others.
I would get all the FA creams and vanillas.
I too agree. Flavor being subjective we can't all agree on any "best" flavor.
You really need to have Meringue! And Forrest Fruit! Hard to describe but add Ripe StrawberryTFA to it and OMG. Best Fruit mix ever. Good Luck!
