I decided it was now or never just in case a certain bill decided to fuck us all in the ass so I splurged ordered the premium kit from diyflavorshack.

It comes with 6 flavors on the side which is great but I was planing on ordering from tfa or other brands since I've never once seen a recipe for diyflavorshack. I picked out the 3 that would be equivalent to what I saw on a simple recipe and 3 others I want to experiment with.

What I plan to do is just experiment with their flavors and basically use this thread as a log of sorts. I'll start with the exact recipe I saw which was all tfa and see if these are stronger or weaker ect. After that I'll experiment with the other 3 flavors and decide if I'll keep working from here or go with a more popular brand.

It should be here by Wednesday at the latest so I'm hoping you'll hear and update from me fairly soon.

Ps: I'm not really worried about the bill, like most people I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing. Not trying to stir the shit pot or anything, just aware of it.


Edit 1: Kit came today and I realized I didn't order pineapple *facepalm* this is why you don't order at 4 in the morning. So I decided to get to work on strawberry watermelon. I got my calculations done during my first 15 minute break at work and made it on my lunch then tasted it at my last break... Was it good? Let's just say I wished my break was longer.

5% strawberry 2% watermelon and 1% ethyl malto. Got it to 80/20 vg/pg with 6mg nicotine. Total batch size was 10ml so I can use a bit for shake and vape and let the rest steep to see how it changes.

I know it's nothing great or complicated but I'm going to work on it. As of now I have 2 small test batches of straight watermelon and straight strawberry each with a small bit of ethyl malto steeping. I'm going to taste them each to see which is more dominant in this brand and tweak the final recipe accordingly. I'm assuming watermelon from the scent of it.

The very slim mentions of it I've heard are good. They also have what they call "expert flavors" which are apparently so strong you don't add more than 5% total flavoring. I didn't order any but I may look into those more, would be great for max vg juice....

I use a lot of DIYFS and their flavors are awesome! Like anything else, play around with low percentages to start. Which flavors did you get?

Let's see here... Coconut, pineapple, vanilla (not custard). Those are the three for what I'm hoping to be close enough to a tfa piña colada recipe I saw. Then I grabbed strawberry, banana, and watermelon to play with stawnana and strawberry watermelon.

Took me awhile to think since I decided to order it all on a late night whim.

Any idea how much you would say their watermelon is from 1-10. 1 being pretty natural and 10 being jolly rancher watermelon haha.

Watermelon is one of the few I don't have on my extensive list. :( But love their Maniacal Melon!
My absolute favorites are banana cream, Mr. Good Stuff, French Vanilla (about the best french vanilla flavoring of any vendor I've tried), Holy Vanilla, cookie dough, birthday cake, cranberry, and star struck (that one's a good cereal flavor). I need to try their pineapple, as I've yet to find any vendor variety that didn't leave me disappointed, so let me know your opinions on that one. Wasn't too keen on their blueberry either.

One of my favorite mixes is DIYFS banana cream and Mr.Good Stuff. It's creamy and sweet, just a touch of caramel....add a little cookie and whipped cream for a banana pudding. S'good.....;).

I mixed this the same as the stuff I bought before but my throat is raw. Think it's the juice or am I catching a cold?

It's the juice I think. Found what people meant by "chemically tasting". I attempted a mix with 10mg nicotine with extra flavor (6 strawberry 3 watermelon 1 ethyl malto)

This new attempt is what was disturbing my throat, not the higher nic but the extra flavor.
