Not to discredit /u/Vurve's post at all, i think his list is pretty good, but i wanted to compile a list the also includes votes for different flavorings. What i mean is that i would recommend a newbie to buy TFA Juicy Peach and TFA Strawberry Ripe, but i would recommend TFA Strawberry Ripe more heavily.
One way to look at this is if we get a bunch of people to respond and then see what the highest picked flavorings are. To be clear, this already exists in the First Order Flavorings link in the sidebar, so this is basically a redo of that, to see if things have changed at all. This form has no limit of how many flavors you can add and you can add any flavor you can think of. I will do the work to sort through all the data and figure it out.
I personally love surveys, and data, and statistics, etc so if people aren't into this, thats all well and good. Here's the survey link. Be very careful not to repeat flavorings you have already entered. If you do repeat flavorings I will probably throw out your response.
TL;DR - take this survey
edit1: waded through the data real quick, heres the current results. hopefully more people will take the survey and we can get even more info.

We've been looking to redo the first order flavors for a while now. This will be extremely helpful along with the post by vurve.
IMHO, I think the first order flavors should be broken up by taste profile.
Like Fruity? Get these... Creamy, dessert, baccos... pick from these lists.
It may also help to maybe have some community input on one or two really good shake and vape recipes to include in each list.
One of the problems I see newbies running into is getting a bunch of flavors for amazing recipes, making them, and then thinking they taste like crap because they're expecting something to vape RIGHT NOW and not in 2-3 weeks.
If we could give them an easy resource of "Here's some flavors for your taste profile, and here's a recipe or two chosen by the community to get you something that you can vape on right away while you wait on other mixes to mature" I think would go a long way to getting someone headed in the right direction.
I like Cap Sweet Strawberry the best of all strawberries because it's the best.
That was one of the first I got because of the hype but not a l of good recipes are using it. If you notice the trend right now is all about INW Strawberry and Shisha Strawberry is massive too, so I take it they are solid also.
Great initiative! I've completed the survey. I looked at that unofficial list earlier and thought "Hmmmm..." it just seems like there would need to be a general consensus as DIY is never one size fits all. The First order flavoring list is good but perhaps an update is indeed in order, this is a great way to find out.
