Thanks for your comment. This was a group effort that did take time and input. Unfortunately only one of us could post it. If I could post this with everyone that helped drive this project I surely would.

What a wonderful resource for the new / novice mixer. Perhaps the veteran will get some use out of it.

Thanks @Pro_Vapes and @Amy2 for getting the ball rolling and including those of use you did in the project. Truly a great work of peer collaboration!

As a noob to DIY this database has been invaluable to me. Big thanks to those responsible for putting it together. I’m not one to quickly just start buying flavors so I’ve been reading lots of reviews and notes on the different ones, wanting to buy the best. As you said, taste can be subjective. What one likes another doesn’t but it helps regardless.:heart:

I’m new to mixing and the forum. I want to thank you for showing me how to navigate the site. I didn’t have a clue this much info was available.
Just want to thank you for all the help.

You’re right on track!

Everyone should try to understand that just because a certain flavor vendor(s) are more highly represented in the recipes database DOES NOT mean they are superior flavors. I’ll repeat myself…

Some of the most popular recipes were created at a time when we didn’t have the flavor companies we see today. Naturally, the recipes (and the perfecting of the mixing craft) were using the flavors that were available during that time. So to see top rated recipes using mostly TPA, CAP and FW is not because those are superior flavors. As a whole they are not. It’s only because they were around first and got catapulted to popularity before other companies with even more quality offerings came around.

So if you’re looking for get the best, don’t just look at what’s most popular.

Well I have gone with my gut so far, like any craft it is a good idea to have a think about what you would like to achieve. This has certainly informed my decisions, I am currently awaiting a stock of fruit, pastry, and flower flavours to go with vanilla, blueberry, vienna cream, ylang ylang (I love essential oil of this and thought it would be an unusual note to add) and a meringue for the baked sweetness. they have made some interesting combinations so far that I am trying at the shake and vape stage. Pretty mellow stuff. The flavour west Blueberry is not coming through as sharpely as expected so I have ordered a different variety this time. But I have to say and I may be biased but all my flavour creations so far, are as good as shop bought. Really quite smooth. but it is still early doors. Not sure if this is advice or just my anecdotal musings, happy vaping :innocent:

Awesome post - this should be highlighted on the front page or something - this is exactly how I use the site. After a few orders of “dud” flavors I finally searched prospective flavors and made sure there was a high-rated recipe I could at least try - and then make sure I had all the rest of the ingredients fo these “test” recipes too.

Oh hell, now that I’m learning how to navigate this site, I don’t have to talk to any of you. Seriously, thank you for the information. Looks like many a sweat and tears went into this and I appreciate it.
