cracray as the kids say. They really need to do something about their website.
Probably the abbreviations that threw you.
DIYFS - DIY Flavor Shack
DIYVS - DIY Vapor Supply
Shack does their own flavors (Holy Vanilla, etc)
Supply sells a variety of hard to find flavor companies under one roof.
I think we went full off topic hereā¦
Without a doubt.
(thatās why I put in a request to have things moved )
Hi Beaufort_Batches, really appreciate you taking the time to do this testing and put it all together, hats off to u ay! I really enjoy it and find it so helpful Iāve been wanting to buy DIYFS flavours for a while, for where Iām at with my mixing Iām thinking about these flavours,
Holy Vanilla, Holy Holy Grail Ry4, And I was reading on DIYFSās site in the reviews on the HV peeps saying their French Vanilla is excellent too.
Being in Oz I try not to order from overseas to much, I would if the keeners actually did grow on trees, Iāve made so many mistakes with obsessively buying flavours for no real reason which is bloody stupid but it happened yes, Iām just looking for the right flavours to add to get me to the very best juice I can make, which at this time isnāt muchā:sweat_smile:. Other then the flavours you have mentioned is there any other flavours from that company you think I should get that are a must have for mixers? Thanks again and take care.
For real LOL. Welcome to the Club. I still do that and probably 80 percent of mixers still do it too. I knocked my stash down from 300 to 200 and I am at 215 with some flaves I still have to add and I think my stash is a little to big but I canāt, wonāt, or refuse to get rid of what I have even though I donāt use quite a few of them, but I might need them someday.
Oh ya, youāre in deep my friend. you have 247 flavors. Oh ya, you are deep down the rabbit hole. Iāll see ya down there.
Hi, Dan_the _Man, yeah itās crazy hey, thanks for the reply, glad you got them down a little and thanks for your honesty good on you.
Yeah lol it actually had become a bit of a problem I had to get help to lock my away my money, but then I discovered afterpayš§ Which worked a couple of times but quickly gets so out of control.
Iām flat out getting through the best part of them, live and learn I suppose. Thanks again Dan and nice to meet you on here.
do you mix Salt Nic recipes for people ??
The reason I ask is bc i started using flavors that I dont typically use in Salt Nic recipes , things like Cap Juicy Lemon where is rather use MF lemon in a recipe for myslef ā¦ Using up my flaves that I havenāt touched in awhile has been great ā¦
Hey DtM, I like that it appears to me that u saw through my smoke screen post of flavour hunting at DIYFS to the obsession of this awesome hobby of DIY ( Iām a bit slow I know) and yes Iām totally obsessed and I truely love it. Even know Iām not really doing that great at all with recipe creation itās still great, itās helps teach me to never give up and it helps keep me going, on a personal level as well and humbles me big time, as I think this recipe is going to be killer this time but it ends up being pretty crappy I try to remind my self of Thomas Edison he failed 10 thousand times before getting the lightbulb right, but he said you know i had to get it right as I finally ran out of things that wouldnāt work, But if I didnāt get it right this time I wouldnāt be standing here talking to you which at that time he was talking to Napoleon Hill, it really helps me to not give up on my dreams, anything worth having takes hard work and obsession is necessary.
Thanks DtMšš» Thanks all too.
I just started with Salt Nic. Like, it came in this week. Funny you should mention using stuff you wouldnāt use in your personal mix because I was thinking the exact same thing when I mixed something up for my nephew and his girlfriend. I found that the flavor for Nic Salt being used in a pod or something similar isnāt that great. So I used ingredients I wouldnāt or donāt use in my personal recipes. They are happy and so am I. Win Win. They get a superior product for much less and I get to use flaves I donāt normally use.
Even though I am a Nichola Tesla fan, Thomas Edison does have some good quotes. Like the one above. My favorite one is
" Opportunity is missed by most people because itās dressed in overalls and it looks like work. "
Looks to me like you have skills and you are following some good mixers, Like @heatho72, who happens to be quite good at dessert recipes and after mixing several of his recipes I have learned a thing or to about flavor pairings and percentages.
Welcome to the forum and I look forward to some more of your postings. BTW, it would be awesome if you filled out your bio in the forum profile, that way we can get to know you better.
See ya around
Dan the Man
Hi DtM, I hadnāt heard that Tesla quote before but itās great! So true.
I really appreciate your kind words and thanks heaps for making me feel welcome itās nice. And yes for sure DtM Iāll get to that Bio asap too. Really happy to be here thank you.
First, I apologize for such late response to your message. Been busy with spring coming and all.
Well I have mentioned their Holy Vanilla and I have to say it is the only one that I must have. Donāt get me wrong though as I believe they have a wide range of really good concentrates that are really good. They are just are not as widely available to everyone globally and that makes it difficult for their brand to be commonly found in a wide array of e-liquid recipes. It is in my opinion that this may be only part of the case but I do think that personal testing would have to be considered to be sure if anything they make would be a must have. I really like their Apple Crumble and Cookie but I donāt have to have it although you may find differently. As such, I can only say that Holy Vanilla would be the best bet at a must have.
I really need to put more attention to this thread and load up some more notes on DIYFS here. Maybe I will find time soon.
Hi Beaufort_Batches,
Thank you mate, and no need to apologise hoping your going great. I do like the sounds of the Apple and Crumble Cookie.
Iām very happy I think Iām just going to get a few concentrates for now.
The Holy Vanilla, HGRY4, ACC, and maybe try the French Vanilla.
I think the thread is great and thank you for taking the time again to help people out with your knowledge/ flavours experience.
Take care Beaufort_Batches.
By the way, their French Vanilla is good, very similar to TFA in my humble opinion.Their RY4 is better than TFA in my opinion but the best RY4 (to myself only) is Jungle Flavors.
Thanks Beaufort_Batches! I really appreciate
Your opinion and all noted. It Just blows me away tbh juice making thereās so much in making good juice, learning so much. It really is time for me to put my head down now and really get into testing and playing around with lil 9-10ml Batches I think that is where my mixing grow will start. Thanks again B_Bšš»
