It was rough for me to get started into it. There was like a threshold I had to get over and then it started rolling. A place you may want to look at is www.e-liquid-recipes.com. They post a lot of mixes that you can open up and see what flavors they used to make them. They also have a forum but join at your own risk. There are a few regulars there that are really rude, spiteful, guttural, and vulgar. I'll leave it at that. I discontinued my membership simply because I did not want the affiliation. There are also a few folks here that do dyi. If you have a liquid you would like to make or clone, you could try asking. It's really great once you start getting the hang of it.
