Starting DIY, List of starter flavors and vendor recommendations needed!

[reej]

I'm looking to start DIY, need to find a vendor for 100mg/ml nicotine base and some good all around flavorings to start with. Me and my lady enjoy Strawberry, Pina Colada , Kahlua and Irish Cream from ECBlend, and Blue Raspberry from High Caliber so far, but I would like a decent White Chocolate Mocha (say like the Starbucks drink) and am open to suggestions.

TIA

Your one stop shop is going to be Wizard Labs out of Florida. Great prices and selection.

I second wizard labs! Great products & the way that they wrap your package for safe shipping is amazing. Their flavoring may be small sizes only but it's a great way to try a lot of flavors & decide what you like & want to order in bigger sizes later. I'll never use another vendor for my nic base, pg & vg.

When I started up, I found Wizard was OUT of almost every flavor I wanted to try.
I got literally everything I needed for my first coupe recipes - hardware, nic, and flavors - from RTSVapes.
Still have Wizard bookmarked, particularly for future nic purchases...

Well, imo you cannot go wrong with the following TFA flavors, providing you like these flavors... they are pretty much dead on:

All TFA:
Banana Cream (to die for... tastes like banana cream pie minus crust)
Bubble Gum (this one is strong, so less is more)
Hawaiian Punch
Jolly Rancher Grape
Mint Candy (tastes like an Andes chocolate mint)
Vanilla Cupcake (tastes just like it with a hint of frosting)

The H. Punch and Bubble Gum taste delish together... then you can add Banana Cream to that for a third really tasty juice, or Grape for another.

A touch of mint candy to the right juice sort of gives it a mentholly-type cool-chocolate back end. All of these are excellent flavors imo, alone or in combo with other flavors.

And if you like this sort of thing, you can make a nice Ry4 just with TFA's "Double RY4" at about 15%

Whooya! Forgot about the Double RY4... one of my favorite juices in regular rotation.

Question kind of on the same subject. Which base does everyone recommend with the nicotine? I started out looking at 50/50 PG/VG, but maybe 100% of one or the other would be easier to calculate? Just a thought. Is there any advantage of having one over the other?

Here's another for Wizard Labs!!!!
Agreed.....their nic liquid is OFTEN out of stock.....it's made in small - HIGHLY CONTROLLED - batches; the product you receive is TOP QUALITY.....and their price is among the LOWEST!! IMHO, well worth a bit of a wait....!!
I use 100mg/ml in a 100% VG base, but it's really personal preference...
Just got some in this morning!! Had to move fast to snag it when I was "Notified"!!

Only 1 order so far, but Vapor Shots did very well for me. Not the widest selection of flavors in the world, but their base, PG & VG are competitively priced. Shipping was fast, and the order had each liquid container individually sealed.

Having tried mostly PG based and mostly VG based, I really like 50/50. As far as the nic level, you can get it high, such as 24 mg, and bring it down with no-nic PG and VG, equal parts in the case of 50/50.

For example, if you wanted to make 18 mg/ml out of 24 mg/ml, 18/24 = 0.75 or 75% so that's how much of your final juice would be 24 mg nic juice. The rest would be equal parts of no-nic PG and VG for 50/50.

Hope this helps. I get all my nicotine base from myfreedomsmokes.com where they publish the lab results of their nic base. For short term use, I get liters of 24 mg and for long term storage 100 mg/ml. Be extremely careful working with 100--in a WELL ventilated area, and with eye protection and nitrile gloves. MFS also carries concentrated flavors from FlavorArts and TheFlavorApprentice/ThePerfumersApprentice.

So I'm hearing a lot of recommends for wizard labs. I'll have to check them out. Correct me if I'm wrong but if I want 24mg/ml nic and I'm using 100mg/ml base I'd need 2.4 ml of the base per 10 ml of liquid? Or is my math off?

Wizard Labs is a trusted "go-to" for DIY supplies!! Hard to beat their stock, prices.....and SERVICE!!
YES! Your math is correct!! My DIY Vanilla recipe is 24mg nic strength --- 3.6 ml of 100mg/ml nic base for 15 ml total liquid....
The E-juiceMeUp calculator is a Godsend....it eliminates the guesswork!!

RTS Vapes does have it in stock. If you use the coupon code FIRSTORDER you get 20% off, which puts the price at nearly exactly Wizard Labs, but you also get free shipping.

My first order from them (not received yet) but I heard good stuff about them on here.
