What are the popular concentrates to get for mixing ?

[markus]

Just looking for a bit of advice on what concentrates to get for mixing, by that I mean the ones you get for hints of flavour & to make particular flavours (clones) ?
Not sure if ive explained it, as im crap at typing what I mean into text form
I.E....Like French Vanilla Deluxe is one that seems to be added to alot of recipes....also Bavarian Cream is another good one to have in the mixing kit...etc, (I already have a sweetner & I only make sweet mixes...no menthol or tobacco)
Hope that makes sense...

From what I see a lot of :-
Sweet strawberry (Capella)
Strawberry & ripe strawberry (TFA)
Vanilla custard v1 (Capella)
Vanilla bean ice cream (TFA)
There are loads more but before I continue, what's your favourite flavours? Food, drinks or eliquids just think of what you'd want for a juice that maybe you want too clone an original or try and copy a food or drink..

Ethyl maltol
Koolada
Dulce de leche
Tpa caramel original

Sweet cream goes excellent with just about any fruit concoction

[Perpetua]

Graham Cracker
New York Cheesecake
Cake Batter
Donut

Are also useful flavours to have in for combining.

I'll add to that..
Yellow cake
Joy
Both good for adding too mixes

Chefs Doughnut king & Welsh custard for easy one shots.

TFA Smooth and TFA Whipped Cream are useful for, well, smoothing out flavours and adding some creaminess.
My go-to bases are Cap Vanilla Custard v1 and also TFA Marshmallow, and then add fruit or other dessert flavours on top.
Just bear in mind that all of these combinations will need a good month of steeping before they really come into their own.

Hope this helps!

Chai Tea

It depends on your taste, but for custards

Vanillin
French vanilla deluxe
EM (as above)
DDL (as above)

are juice savers

Everyone who's answered so far is far more experienced than I am in the mixing field, so I'd take that advice over mine, i'm not going to mention a concentrate but I'll offer the tips I wished I'd followed;
highlight the recipes you want to try and get those concentrates (if possible, I would as much as possible buy in bulk; nothing worse than not having a certain concentrate, because sods law when it arrives you'll have forgot what you was going to make,)

Make lists,
Recipe list - consisting all the recipes you may want to try (there are loads! welcome to the custard mad house)

I have a recipe list called:

Next to make, I follow this list and its this list I also now print and along with the date and tape it to the bottle! CAP - Vanilla Custard - 15 CAP - Cake Batter - 5% TPA - Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 5% TPA - Bavarian Cream - 4% TPA - Sweetener - 1%.

I have 4 X 100ml of some sort of custard that I dont have a clue whats in it, I did know when they were in 4 different corners, however someone decided to line all my mixes up in the cupboard, lesson learnt, thankfully I'd labelled up the rest!.

Do a order list/wish list; don’t get disheartened, I seem to be in a perpetual state of waiting on delivery of some concentrate nothing worse than ordering then realising there’s another 3 bottles you forgot.

most important patience and enjoy it

No matter what you get, you'll find a recipe but there will always be one or two that you haven't got. You'll end up with loads. But it's great fun, and makes Vaping super cheap. It'll make up for all the cash you spend on tanks and mods

Caramel for me, is a must.......I use it in practically all my mixes, which are mainly tobacco based flavours.
