Problem is I really wanna explore as many of the nooks and crannies of the flavour world as I can. I mean I have had aniseed that tasted amazing and aniseed that tasted like soap. I have had flavours that were highly touted but tasted like vomit to me (must have been too much butyric acid). And surprisingly the best flavour I have ever tried was the flavour from my strawberry flavoured cartridges from one of those disposable cartridge e-cig mods that was left for 7 months at the back of my cupboard and to this day havenât tried anything as good as that! and I have tried my fair share of âbestâ liquids out there.
I know that the rabbit hole is real, but nothing comes easy I guess.
Some flavors last longer than others, depends on the recipes you make.
But letâs say that you use 5 to 10% flavoring in an e-juice (some popular juices go up to 20% flavor), then you can make 2 to 4 liters of e-juice with your 20 flavors. There are people here who vape 30ml a day, so thatâs good for 65-130 days. If youâre vaping a little less it will last you a little longer but the last drop of those bottles will be gone before next year.

So no, you didnât buy too much flavor. What you will notice is that youâll buy flavors that you really like (and will use more) and others that you donât like and may dump. Youâll be looking for alternatives from other brands and soon youâll understand what this ârabbit holeâ really is.
Thereâs always a good recipe around the corner that you will want to make for which you donât have the right flavor and your stash will grow.
I got 2 bits of advice from my recent mixing start.
1 start with small batches as therr is a very good chance first tries will be not great.
2 if you got tpa caramel cappuccino like me be afraid. Its STRONG.
3 (i know i said 2 but meh) use the knowledge and advice here before you mix. The recommended % on vendor sites are mostly bs check here on the database for good starting point.
It isnât all for me but it just seemed to fit in the thread - it arrived today. It is 3x the full flv flavour line some of them are very hard to source here in Au since they are on the no fly list with most online stores (they have to be shipped as dangerous goods).
And thatâs just one small corner of the universe. Imagine how much there is you arenât aware of yet!!
Iâve come to the conclusion that thereâs simply no cure. Definitely, you can read, heed, and refine. But the fact is, how do you know what flavors you love until you try them ALL! ALL OF THEM!!! BUY ALL THE FLAVORS!!! BWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!
OK, maybe it isnât quite that extreme, but at least it is fun. Good luck on the journey, and stick around for some great advice and inspiration.
Can I add that you should do single flavour tests, exactly like I didnât, so that you donât end up with 182 concentrates most of which you have no idea what theyâre like and thereâs no way in hell that youâre gonna sit down for a whole day just squeezing a few mils into tiny bottles and rewicking endlessly and basically doing what you should have done when you got them first. Ahem.
