Quality concentrated flavours are important building blocks of DIY. Experimenting with flavours from various manufacturers enables you to build an inventory on which you can unleash your creativity.
Flavouring companies such as FlavourArt, Flavorah, Juice factory, TFA, Molinberry and Capella’s produce excellent FDA approved flavours.
Create
Armed with as little as 5 or 6 flavours allows one to create a number of profiles that would satisfy as an all day vape.
An example could be a blended tobacco with a touch of caramel, vanilla and an underlying note of nuts or bourbon.
Imagination and creativity are key, and allow for an unlimited array of tasty, satisfying flavour concoctions.
Satisfy
It’s been said that having a variety of flavour profiles can assist with transition. They can also satisfy long-term.
Although there are countless recipes online, hone your skills through practice and trial and error, creating your own unique profiles.
Developing something unique is both encouraging and satisfying.
