So whatās the best way to find out ahead of time which brands are the best in certain flavors? And just how much better are they? Like for instance, Capellas seem to have the best vanilla custard and just how much better is it?

Welcome ! Youāll have hours of reading lol ! For the most part itās what taste good to you. Yes there are some favorites among us DIYārs and then thereās the subjective taste issues with saying one of the flavors suck while to someone else itās an amazing flavor. I would keep a list of the horrible horrible flavors voted by many key word ( yet you may end up liking it ! )
TFA is usually what most of us start with and branch out from there. There is still many TFAās I use in my daily go to mixing. But for starters start to get acclimated to different vendors as well as there percentage ratios when you do buy a flavor.
Great places to buy in the U.S.
Bull city vapors
Cat house vapor
Ecigexpress
PG/VG : essential depot
High desert vapes
ECX ( ecigsexpress )
Itās cheap anyhow
Go for kosher but USP grade only
Donāt be overwhelmed there is a DIY beginners section start there !
Nicotine: donāt go cheap on this I promise youāll thank me later.
Carolina xtract
Heartland
Vaperstek
Nude nicotine

Here is a great way to find out the best flavors based on personal preference and flavors most used right from ELR extensive database.
Go to the flavor list.
Click on the āratingsā tab. All the highest rated flavors will be listed in order.
Click on the ārecipeā tab to get the most commonly used flavors.
For help deciding on a specific flavor brand type in your flavor like āvanilla creamā or ācheesecakeā then click the āratingā tab. The brands will be listed highest to lowest. You will also get to see what versions are preferred overall like vanilla cream v1 or vanilla cream v2.
Personal suggestions are always helpful but this is also a great way to find out on your own.

I have to put a good word in for One on One flavors. their cookie flavors are bomb and tobacco flavors are tight. NicVape I just got so I will let you know about them but their raspberry smells good. Capella flavors are probably the best value(most concentrated) for your money and their sweetener is my favorite I have tried. I used to use more flavor apprentice but all my favorites of theirs got flagged so I tend to only use their safe for vape flavors. So really read their descriptions.

I have been stalking JoJo, Amy and a number of other girls, (bowing my headā¦and guys), I didnāt say that did i? Iām new to and the wealth of info I have learned from these great people is amazing. Iāve learned so much from them. Read, read and read some more.Everytime I have a question I look up a thread from here that resembles what Iām looking for and āBOOMā¦THERE IT ISā. Sometimes in the form of an avalanche. But thatās good. I have avoided many mistakes from the advice shared by these wonderful people. They are amazing.

One way I found to figure out what is really good is to go to āFlavor Listā and you can see which flavors are used most often by the larger number of recipes. You can also click on āRecipeā and sort them by most high review. Iāve been saving (copying and pasting) them into a Microsoft Word document. This time Iām keeping the hyperlink so that later I can tell who made the recipe and go back and rate it. Most recipes only have one rating - so sad. We need to RATE the recipes we try so that people can see whatās good and whatās best!
I think JoJo actually posted that info in a list if Iām not mistaken
Hi btw Joya
