tldr: I only order flavors once per year because of different circumstances, please suggest your best fruity, berry, sour, lemonade, even sweet cheesecake type recipes
​
Hello guys, on one hand, I am not very new to DIY ejuices, as I have already spent $430 on flavors and nicotine alone, but on the other hand, I am a noob because I only order flavors once a year, and I make stupid mistakes when ordering them. I have over 30-40 flavors, but the thing is, I hate like half of them.
​
First, let me start by telling you why I order only once per year. I do not live in the USA (I live on the Balkans in Europe) and I don't have a place nearby where I can order and try small samples of flavors. I have a relative that goes on a business trip to the USA once per year, and I make an order of around $100 to his hotel, and he brings them to me.
​
Because of this, I have made a few mistakes, for example, I have 4oz (120ml) bottles of peanut butter (tfa), belgian waffle (tfa), unicorn vomit and two custards, that I rarely (almost never) use. Simply because I didn't know any better when I read online and decided to order them. I also have a few 1oz bottles of different nuts that I also never use.
​
For most of the recipes I find online, that I think that look great, I am always missing some ingredient to make them, and I am not gonna lie, it gets really frustrating having to vape something I don't really like, it always feels like a disappointment when I make something that i expect it will be great, and it turns out lame. I have lost the patience to even let them steep anymore, after so many disappointments. I don't really have a proper vape shop where I live, and everything is overpriced anyway.
​
My favorite flavor that I have found and made so far, and basically my ADV (until I run out), is LOOMA! I also like Mother's Unicorn Milk. But when we get down to it, I really like fruity flavors, berry mixes, lemonades, especially sour fruits, and sometimes even sweet flavors, like Mothers Unicorn Milk.
​
Can you guys and gals help me choose my next order of flavors, maybe recommend some recipes based on the things I mentioned, I will be forever grateful. I only get to order once per year, and you have no idea how it feels when you make an awesome juice, and you realize that you can only make it twice more, and you will have to wait half a year to order those flavors again.
​
If it helps, I can compile a list of all the flavors I already have. Please and thank you!
​
Edit: I forgot to mention, I order from WizardLabs and I would also appreciate some already premixed flavors (one shots?)
~~I can't credit all of the mixers right now, but~~ here are a load of ATF links for my favourite fruity/cheesecake mixes. Enjoy. :)

That first one looks really similar to Mango Dragonfruit Refresher with Blackberry inclusion by u/vishousness. https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/152809 and yes, it’s a fantastic summer vape.
I'm not going to be much help in suggesting flavors, I'm sure others are much more qualified and will do, but I can't help wondering whether you have considered purchasing online from an EU vendor? Is you country in the EU? Even if it's not, it might be worth considering.
My country is not in the EU, can you recommend a vendor?
They are in the sidebar:

Citrus punch 2 TPA and banana cream TPA are nice
Honestly citrus punch is under rated. I use it at 1% with a ton of fruity flavors and it can bring out some interesting flavors. 6% cap mango with 1% citrus punch brings out a slight tropical pineapple in the mango dominant. And it's better than adding any pineapple I've ever tried at 1%
I'd say to look at
/u/ediblemalfunction's backwoods lemonade
/u/eyemakepizza's summer drink
And while there's a heap of bias here, I'm pretty proud of my dreamsicle and my blue eyes white dragon
Of course, much of this is predicated on you enjoying cooling.
Though FWIW, you can definitely find use for that TFA Belgian waffle, it works very well paired with FW waffle about 1:1 to make a pretty faithful recreation of a real waffle. Also the TFA peanut butter can be helped greatly by a small amount of FW hazelnut and (optionally) HS caramel toffee.
I'd also say that there are almost certainly vendors that will ship to you directly. Chef's claims to ship to nearly any address worldwide, though as international shipping is rarely inexpensive, you may not wish to make smaller (say 3-4 item) flavor orders from chef's.
I noted that you liked berry flavors, so I would recommend getting TFA Cranberry, TFA Pomegranate, and TFA Blueberry extra. Mix all of those around 3% and you get a really nice and tart grape flavor. Very berry like, and the tartness is something that I feel you could appreciate. I have the original recipe that I derived all of them at 3% from if you're interested, I found it somewhere on reddit.
Some recipes that are available on Atf or ELR that I absolutely love and will mix again.
007 cola, Apple waffle (by hashslashingslashur), prickly victory (also by him), mango sticky rice, Ella's Shortbread biscuit, third world custard (personal preference but this is still my fav custard, just let it steep for 2 months), Cardinal, goofy's juice (also needs a long steep), watermalone.
These are my personal preference, but take a look at them and consider which ones you'd like. Since you mentioned you like fruity, I highly highly highly recommend prickly victory. Just 2 flavors but so good. No sweetener needed.
If have probably 150 flavors and the following are my favorite. I favor fresh fruit flavors btw, not too many candied flavors I like.
INW Cactus is a must!
Cap mango
Inw strawberry shisha
Cap 27 fish (sweefish fish)
TFA citrus punch
TFA vanilla bean ice cream
Inw Boysenberry (my fav blue rasp)
FW Cookies n Cream (best cream ive ever had)
I could reccomend far more, but to keep it short and sweet around 100$ I'd try and squeeze these in.
Yeah, cactus is a must, I agree about that, also, I have boysenberry, but from FLV, how much do they differ and what do you combine it with?
I have had zero luck with any of the orange cream flavors. I also love unicorn mothers milk (i think i use v2 dunno cant read the page anymore) I just picked up a few normal flavors like cheesecake and vanilla cup cake. Of course i have strawberry ripe but also sweet and bought blueberry and sweetener. I premix them all as a stand alone flavor the experiment with percents. Plus you can try different berries with cheese cakes and cupcakes.
I also like 27 fish. Fruit circles with milk also good.
I bought mary jane (thought it was like the candy) nope i will guess pot. Anyone know what to do with Mary Jane to get a good juice?
Have you tried something Iike this?

One glance and I can tell it's a noobs recipe. 10% sweetener is death. I'd drop everything and try and sit around 10% total. Coconut should be low AF too.
I may try that. I was going to buy some tobacco and add some clover honey (flavor) and see what happens. Thought of a blunt. It has earthy tones in it. It dont taste like weed but more like you just ate cbd oil. Dirt earth taste. I may have to buy some coconut but will test it out. Sweetener is an idea, i should have grabbed some of the ice sweetener.
Rather than entering a long list of recipes, I'll just say look here for the list. Except for the tobacco recipes, the rest are fruity and/or lemonades, for the most part.
