Help a newbie choose a recipe pls

Hi everyone. I’m new here and new to mixing. I’m in Australia, the land of laws, and switched from disposables a couple of months ago.
I’ve only tried a few single flavour mixes and one recipe which I’ve quite enjoyed;

I’ve fiddled around with the flavour percentages, while keeping ratios the same, and I’ve ended up mixing it at 10% total flavour rather than 20% and I’m very happy with it. I’ve made a few batches of this recipe now.

Well I have finally got a bunch more flavours but now the sheer volume of recipes I can make is overwhelming me lol. Can any of the kind people here help me decide what couple of recipes I should try next?

Here is my stash - I know it’s all TPA rn. That just felt like a good flavourhouse to start with. I will be branching out. Edit: wherever I have a DX flavour I don’t actually own the original, I’ve just selected them to help for recipe searches.

I’d love to try making something with the FA Cola I got, and I’d love a fruity recipe that really leans into berries. Lastly my wife has requested something “caramel and creamy but not fruity.”

Does anyone have any good recipes to suggest? Even if it’s nothing like what I asked for but it’s just really tasty and you think I should try it.
Thanks in advance. This forum is such a big help.

Welcome! Nothing wrong with TFA/TPA, same with Capella and FW. They make some good stuff. And especially with what we can can actually get down here, perfectly cromulent decision.

If you’re not already, I’d recommend Universal Flavours and Taste Nest for good prices, range, and shipping time. Taste Nest stocks a bunch of stuff that UF doesn’t (SSA, BCF, Flavour Jungle/Jungle Flavor, Flavour Express) but UF has a larger selection overall…

You could try and copy the dispo flavours you liked the most to get an idea of how make your own instead of giving yourself choice paralysis, it can be pretty overwhelming.

Smash some Cherry Crush and FA Cola together with a bit of Koolada for a simple cherry cola, you could play around with this Fizzy Kush Clone that @stickynigel put together recently (I’ve got an adaption myself I’m working on, it’s an interesting idea) and just in general for fruits - The Fruit Bible.

As for the misso, simple caramel (banana?) cheesecake, last months mix-along Soo much dessert in here will help steer you along, or at least give you a rough guide
