You've got some good flavors there. I've got to go to bed but I'll post tomorrow and I'm sure you'll get allot of help from others before that. Congrats this is a great place to learn and help others.

My best advice is to check out some recipes that sound good to you and buy the ingredients to make those! From there you can learn and grow, but it'll save you a lot of wasted juice if you just buy the flavors for something you want to make!

This is just based off personal experience with these flavors and what I would start with.
You might find the cheesecake to be a bit much, you can try lower. Just use these percentages as some sort of guide and go from there. As for steeping time, I usually shake and vape.

Strawberry 8%
Cheesecake Graham Crust 5%
Sweet Cream 3%
Fresh Cream 4%

Blueberry Extra 10%
Cheesecake Graham 3%
Sweet Cream 1-2%
Maybe try 1% Dairy Milk also, never tried it so I don't know for sure.

I use Blueberry Wild for this, so, you may need to adjust Blueberry Extra to your taste.

Now you have two recipes to play with. Another thing I would do is make standalone bottles. Mix each flavor individually with your Nic and pg/vg % you like. Personally I try TFA/TPA flavors @ 5%. When I started, I made a huge mistake of using 10%. Don't do that, you might end up liking a flavor @ 10% but for allot of flavors it's way to strong. After you mix your standalone, shake and vape. Right down what you like and don't like. Do that periodically for a week or two. Read the DIY posts. There is a ton of info there, especially anything HIC wrote. Don't reinvent the wheel. Most everything you need to know has already been talked about. Follow @AmandaD's advise when you can. Don't just buy random flavors or you'll end up with allot of flavors you won't use. Find a recipe, buy those flavors. Find another recipe and buy those. In no time you'll have a bunch of different flavors. Most the people here use FA flavors for good reason. After reading a few post you'll understand why. Right now I probably have 50% FA and 50% others. Don't get me wrong, there are some CAP, TFA, NF and INW flavors I'll always use. To each his own. You'll find out what you like. Try to figure out an ADV you like so you can quit buying premade. After that, it's all gravy. Just remember, there's Mom's gravy and Denny's gravy. Denny's will do but Mom's is the best.

View attachment 23882 I found one and tweaked it a lil to my taste and its like a unicorn milk..... mmmm made 120mls of it lol
There you go. Looks tasty. You might want to try making 10, 15 , or maybe 30 ml when you make a new recipe. You never know if you're going to like it or not. Sometimes I end up hating a juice I thought I would love and sometimes I end up loving a juice I hated(when it was fresh made) once it has steeped for some time. Anyway, you broke your cherry. You never forget your first time.

I've heard it's good. Some people prefer the taste over V1. It also has the added benefit of not having the "badies".
