Can anybody weigh in with some opinions of what blue raspberry concentrate and strawberry concentrate i should stock up on also any missing candy concentrates i could do with and any fruits i should get (please include the brand too). im using the xros 5 device with 0.8 ohm pods (though im going to try the 1 ohm and 0.6 ohm) im using it as strictly mtl device. Any help and opinions appreciated and also if anyone knows of any recipes i can make please let me know because i cant seem to find any on here that im not missing everything from. Thanks for those of you who read all of that and i look forward to any replies and advice.

I would definitely buy some sweetener and pear flavors as well as some some cherry and strawberry. I suggest looking on the E-liquid recipe site and going to “flavor list” and seeing what the most used flavors are, such as Strawberry, Ripe (TPA), Strawberry (TPA), and Sweet Strawberry (CAP). I would definitely suggest Maqui Wild Berry Jam (CAP), Raspberry Syrup (SSA), and any SSA cherry if you are into sweet fruit flavors.
Bull City Flavors is where I would recommend buying from.
Thanks for the reply, I plan to order powders and crystals for the sweeteners and coolants where possible. I have just ordered the strawberry ripe (tfa/tpa), sweet strawberry (cap), lucsious strawberry (cap) and green strawberry (cap) I will add the others on my next order, yeah I love the sweet fruits so the cherry will definitly be added too haha
For your “blue raspberry” flavours “ultimate blue raspberry” is my favourite. (Flv) “Blue razz” is really good, (Wf) “Sour blue raspberry candy”, (wf) “blue raspberry jelly bean”", (Lb) "blue raspberry " are others I use the most. They work really well with jammy flavours
(Flv) “Boysenberry”, (wf) “boysenberry raspberry” a little (fw) “razzle berry” which you already have. Search for recipes and pick one that looks good to you, and experiment with your flavours.
It looks like you can make some good lemonades with the flavours you already have but unfortunately I have no knowledge of the “vapable” flavours. Perhaps someone who has could put a recipe together using your ingredients.
I think the vapable ones are one shot concentrates because when tested standalone they already had cooling and sweetener in there. who are flv? sorry im really new to this haha. I will look into who does them near me that I can get from as everywhere seems to have patchy stock with the upcoming vpd.
(Flv) is " flavorah". I started mixing by choosing a recipe that looks good and has flavours that are used in quite a few other recipes and then buying the flavours for it.
Are you in the UK.
I am in the uk yeah I think things are going to start going out of stock quickly now because the deadlines are approaching for the tax implementation
Yes, that is a problem but I can suggest the places that I regularly order from.
“Nomnomz”
“Alchemists cupboard”
“Wizard vapes”
I can get what I need normally from one of these.
Im familiar with all three, ive just put an order in with darkstar for a couple of concentrates theyve got a sale on at the minute for 27% off. I really need to stop impulse buying at this point 
I’ve ran out of room to put them all. Now I’ve got certain recipes that I make a lot and are in regular rotation, I restock when I’m running low on one of the ingredients.
I’ve a lot of flavours I don’t use regularly.
You never stop learning.
Yeah theres lots to learn about, its definitly not as simple as i first thought it would be haha
I’ve had another look at your flavours and wrote a recipe down. You can use one shots low percentage as concentrates but I’ve mixed high because of your device.
I mix new recipes the same way I cook, taste, taste tasting as I add each ingredient so.
I’ll add Pg/VG first and then add a small amount of each flavour, shaking and tasting (on the back of hand) after each flavour until you have right amount. So maybe…
8-10% (vapable) “blue raspberry lemonade”
3-5% (vapable) “blue raspberry sour”
2-3 % (cap) “pink lemonade”…
1-3% (cap) “lemon lime” depending on how much lime you want…
1-3% (cap) “lemon drops”.
0.5-1% “sweetener” the one shots are probably already sweetened so again taste before you add.
Small amount of each flavour, shake taste and adjust.
Maybe…
0.5-1% "Fizzy pop enhancer
0.25-0.5% “malic acid”
The combination should create a sour lift to mimic real lemonade.
IDE try recipe without first.
Experiment and have fun.
I mix in old wide rimmed, glass vitamin bottles with screw on lids. I use a blunt nosed syringe to taste, and drip it onto RDA or into tanks.
ooooh thanks ill give that recipe a try i am currently vaping the vapable ones standalone and they are allright just not real diy. im looking forward to mixing this as i wouldnt know where to start making a recipe and pairing different components so this is a huge help. i wish id not mixed so much of the vapable ones up now haha
Your welcome.
Welcome and glad you joined.
thanks, i feel like there is a whole community of vapers i had no idea about until recently so ive a lot to catch up on
