Actually I didn’t have to quit smoking. I need my CBD. My father died in pain from cancer because of cigarettes. I wish he had e-cigs to quit smoking.

Hi just created account so very new at this! Started vaping summer of 2015, smoker for about 11 years. Quickly started trying DIY e liquids but couldn’t get anything to stick wasn’t happy with it so gave up shortly after. Only ever tried one flavour at a time sometimes 2 if feeling ambitious. Past year or so been looking at recipes and doing a whole lot of research and now decided to give this a better go and really give it my all! Not sure what flavour types I prefer as it is ever changing. After going through many sites that sell concentrates I decided I am going to opt for the flavour apprentice but I would like a bit of help deciding which flavours to buy to get eg me started. Any help, tips and advice is welcomed and appreciated.
Thanks guys, happy to be here

You may have not found the right e liquid category/taste that works for you.
Some of my general categories:
Bakery
Butterscotch / Butter Rum/Toffee
Caramel
Chocolate
Cinnamon
Creams/Custards/Vanilla/MM/CC
Nut
Peanut Butter
Tobacco
MISC SINGLES/Fruit etc.

I found that if you stick to general category recipes which you know you should like, your chances of success should improve. You might want to select flavors that have the highest liked rating rather than selecting one companies entire line of flavors. Suggest using:
https://e-liquid-recipes.com/flavors
and type in flavor and check ratings etc…

OK so I am better buying certain flavours from certain places? Thanks for the insight I was thinking that maybe that would overcomplicated things but I will trust your advice and look around the flavours on here to find what suits me. Recently I have been swaying towards dessert type of flavours but no doubt that will change in a few months

I dunno… I have stuck to one flavor manufacture now for years… I know the flavors like the back of my hand, and… I enjoy it… Not all want to collect 2k in flavors and pay shipping to lots of resellers… it is a matter of finding what one likes. I will agree on what will work best for the goals of taste and satisfaction. In the end… it is the person that is vaping what is mixed and how happy they can be on taste and quality.

Hi everyone! My name is Lori aka tommboy. (my CB handle back in the day)
I quit cigs and have been vaping for a few years now. In an effort to save money I tried to find some cheap juice I could buy in bulk but it was terrible, so overly sweet and chemical it was making me sick. I finally decided to give DIY a try. Despite reading advice against it, I just went onto NR and ordered a few flavors I thought I might like. Tried to stick with the diketone free stuff. Mixed up a few single flavors and a couple simple 2-3 ingredient mixes and vaped a bit immediately. To my great relief, even my inexperienced, unsteeped mixing was miles better than the premixed crap I had most recently bought!
I found this site and love all the info and that you can enter and store all your flavors and recipes. Looking forward to trying some of the recipes on here now that I’ve gotten my feet wet! A big thanks to whom ever started this site and all the contributors.
