I’m in love with Black Tea. It mixes well with so many different things… adds an extra dimension if that makes sense.
Which vendor?
Sorry, forgot that important bit. Flavour Art.
Rec’d Medicine Flower Black Tea today but haven’t fiddled with it yet. Not happy with the smell of it. it’s not as sweet as FA.
Good to know about the FA BT. I’ve tried TFA and INW so far. TFA… just don’t and say you did. INW… good after a long steep; much like tobacco mixes.
There are a few folks around here into the teas; search box will take you there!

Will do! Green Tea is a good back up. I’m not into fruits at the moment and the teas give a nice sweetness. I think fig is the only fruit in my arsenal right now. I’m looking for a good grapefruit if anyone has a suggestion!
Here ya go!

I can tell you what not to get. Capella…leaves a lot to be desired. I just got Inawera Grapefruit yesterday. I’ll report back, but I’m guessing it’ll be pretty good. 
BTW @Jimk any news on your Rooibos? Mine is…weak. I tried it at 7% and that didn’t cut it. I also put 2% marshmallow and 2% Madagascar Vanilla (FA). It made an interesting mix. It was reminiscent of a black and mild, actually. It’s not steeped very long, so that’s just first impressions but if I did it again I’d let the tea sit in the PG for a few more days before straining it.

I know it’s not a “grapefruit” but I’m finding FLV’s pink guava to really be way more of a grapefruit then a guava, you should check it out!
Otherwise INW and FA have some decent ones
Good to know, thank you!
I think I ordered a diluted tester from abu daba or something like that…he’s a local Chicago guy that sells t shirts and diluted Medicine Flower flavors. I honestly don’t remember what I ordered.
I will post back in the link Jimk shared above. Sorry to hijack this thread OP!
Funny you should ask! Now that I have a few days off here, I’m about to do a spread on N.E.T. Tea.
Mine turned out quite vapeable and I actually have it in a dripper as I type. After I did the mix, it tasted…meh. After a 2 week steep…Bam! There it was! Time did the trick. Here’s the kicker though… Percentage of NET tea used was 30%! Yup. And the flavor pops like nobodies business. Sweet, yet earthy and all the flavors are there. Just bump up your NET % and let it steep.

…hijacking allowed here; eventually it will get back on track! 
My son-in-law is a fruit /sweets vape lover. He really wants to get
started in DIY, but like most young couples, money is tight. The initial
start up costs are a little out of reach for him. Enter Daddy-o-in-law.
For his X-mas present, I’m going to gather up the DIY items to get him
started. PG, VG, nic, scale, bottle assortment, etc. I’m also going to
order some fruit mixing flavors to get him out of the gate.
That’s where my knowledge hits a dead end. I’m strictly a tobacco mixer.
I did some exploring through some of the flavor threads and came up with this list:
Bavarian Cream FW
Caramel Candy FW
Cotton Candy / EM TFA
Dragonfruit FW
Raspberry Natural FW
Strawberry (Ripe) TFA
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (TPA)
Orange (FA)
Fuji Apple (FA)
Apple (FA)
Peach (FA)
Watermelon TFA
Marshmallow (TPA)
I have room for a few more. Any suggestions? Should any on my list get tossed, for a better alternative? I think versatility is one of the things I’m shooting for.
Thanks

That’s the only thing I would stay away from personally. Ethyl maltol (cotton candy) has a tendency to mute flavors over time and wreak havoc on your taste buds. Sometimes it can come in handy if you are either, going to vape the juice within a day or 2 or your mix is already on the high side and the EM will bring it down. Of course there’s always just vaping it as is, if you like straight cotton candy

I see a few things I would do differently I hope will improve your Xmas present. Though Caramel Candy is decent when used correctly, Caramel (original) TPA is very good and more forgiving to beginners. Toss Cotton Candy unless the intended use is for Cotton Candy standalone. Do not mix with Cotton Candy/EM. Get Marshmallow FW, it’s better. If you want to get Raspberry from FW then go with the regular, not the natural. I’m experienced in blending and even I have had troubles making the Raspberry Natural work. Others you could add…
Peach (Juicy) TPA
French Vanilla CREAM TPA (notice I said cream)
Butter Pecan FW
Hazelnut FW
Blackberry Natural FW
Banana Cream TPA
Butterscotch FW
Cantelope FW
Blueberry Extra TPA
Kahlua & CREAM FW (notice I said cream)
Don’t know if you are willing to buy from Nicotine Labs but if so the best Watermelon and Honeydew is from the Delosi line. No candy taste, real fruit flavor. They also have a must have Mocha…

Great info, thanks Darth & ringling. I had reservations about the Cotton Candy. The EM drawback makes sense.
I’m a little familiar with Caramel Candy. I have a few ‘sweets’ I occasionally add to some of my tobacco mixes, and that’s one of them. I don’t use much, just enough to give the mix a hint of caramel. If it’s more forgiving for beginners, I’ll swap the Caramel Candy for the Caramel original.
I’m doing some covert texting to my daughter, to get a better idea of some of the ‘tastes’ he likes.
She said nix to bananas, and a thumbs up to the cantelope…lol. She also said ‘berries’ get good reviews.
Whew…now I know why the fruit & dessert crowd have so many flavors in their arsenals!

I just started mixing about when this thread was made. This is just my opinion, but I would find one juice he likes or loves, and find a recipe that gets rave reviews, that is a clone or very similar. Nothing keeps you mixing like success. Build your other flavors off that one great recipe. Find another recipe that uses one out two of the ones in the first mix and just get two or three more. Now he can make two juices. Another good idea I picked up here is enter what you plan to buy in flavor list and select what can I make. Then you will know he can prepare something without further investment. Also include a recipe.

Hi I think your Christmas gift idea is a super sweet idea. Shows you care and want to go the extra mile. Cantaloupe is very tricky TFA’s is so gross to many not just my opinion a much better option is flavorah’s cantaloupe. Also I didn’t see any sweet strawberry you have a ripe which is bold but not really sweet. If you add a sweet with the ripe it helps it taste more realistic. Sweet strawberry by capella’s is the 2nd most popular behind SB ripe.
I don’t know if it’s been mentioned, but I find a yogurt is great with fruits and it really enhance fruit flavors. Also mixing yogurt with creams and fruit makes a very nice smoothie.

You keep rubbing it in man! Flavorah doesn’t sell yogurt anymore. If you keep bringing it up I am coming to your house with my minions and stealing your Flavorah Yogurt! Muahahaha! 
FA does and I hear TPA isn’t bad. Did anybody get a reply from FLV…?
