Hi im looking in to mixing again but nothing complicated just straight single flavours. Real Flavour Super Concentrates appeal to me the most but i see such mixed reviews and stuff my high hopes and excitement have turned to doubt im hoping some of you can clear up. By single flavour recipes i dont just want strawberry, pear, blueberries etc im after more of a rounded mix like strawberries and cream, milk and honey, oreos, jam doughnut and so on.
I have had a look through the weekly single diy thread aswell ;)
With the RFSC I was intending mixing 80/20 and 5% each flavour in 200ml batches. But being so put off this by people saying flavours are weak or begin getting weak fairly quick.
If advised to move away from RFSC which company should i go with for the best single more complex flavours im after.
Thanks in advance for your time.
>With the RFSC I was intending mixing 80/20 and 5% each flavour in 200ml batches.
I would advise that you rethink your approach and start with smaller batches. Even if you couldn't find one bad review for a particular flavor it would be a better idea to mix up a 10ml first just to save yourself from wasting supplies. You can always mix more later.
If you are just looking for single concentrates good enough to vape on their own, try searching for that. u/RancerDS has also been posting a single flavor thread every single week (a bit much IMO but I can see the usefulness for one single thread).
Unless you are buying one shots, most flavors are gonna need help in order to round out a profile.
Search for reviews for an RF flavors you might be wondering about.
You want to use one companies flavorings to do single flavor mixes that are semi complex profiles? That's a huge ask. I'm only coming up with a handful of flavors that remotely fit that bill and they're all from different manufacturers.
Not just one companies flavours but reviews i seen of Real Flavours to start with loom awesome then i do some more research and everyone here says there shite so anything really desert flavours are my go to
The reviews for every brand range from awesome to shit. You probably have an idea of what you like and don't like, after that you kind of have to roll the dice and experiment.
Looking at recipes and buying flavors for the ones that sound good (bonus if they have good reviews) is a better approach than trying to mix with one brand of flavors based on individual flavor reviews.
RF has some good flavors. They also have some bad ones. So does every other brand. If you want to save time, go to BCF, Gremlin, Nic Riv, someone that carries a lot of flavors. Search for a profile you want to mix (cookie, for example) and buy every single brand and version they have. Maybe, if you're lucky, one of them won't suck as a single flavor. Also, you'll want to mix it at 2 or 3 levels to get an initial impression. Some flavors are awful at one percentage and amazing at another percentage.
Look at wonder flavors they have some pretty good profile type flavors.
And some of liquid barns one shots are good.
I wouldn't recommend rf SC as your only option. But there may be a good one here and there.
You want a single flavor recipe for what reason exactly? Are you maybe having trouble making more complicated mixes and you dont want to have hundreds of bottles in your garage or spend a lot of money but still want to have good e-juice without paying $20 for 30ml? If so then you should just get some one shots. They're concentrates with a few different flavors, premixed together, they just need to be mixed with vg and/or pg, and/or nicotine, etc and steeped if recommended. A lot of sites carry different ones. I know FA makes a line of one shots. Then some sites have exclusive contracts with different mixers, like DIYorDIE makes a few good ones. Heres some links. Hope this helps.

From what I've read, RF SC flavors take a long time to taste the best. Like a month. I'm no expert and that could be false, it's just what I've read. With that said, I tried their fruity cereal or pebbles whatever at 2.5%. I tested it after a month and it was a nice flavor. It was a little light tasting but a good fruity flavor.
I would give one shots a go, i have used them previously - some great some not so but i guess taste is subjective. I have used darkstar vapour. They do a bottle shot which is really straight forward you just add Vg/Pg depending on your preference and nic.
