Okay, so I have a Black cherry from TFA, and I have two flavors Cherry and Vanilla From Exotic vapers and I have try to mix them in different ways, I have let them all steep with just the tops off. ( do i need to remove the top part that pops out of the bottle?
I mix with VG, Vodka and the juice, and they all 3 are just very nasty tasting, is there anything i can try to make it taste better? I even got some that Ethyl stuff and it didn't help either, i used from 2 drops up to 20 drops didn't help anything

what do you do with your juice you buy,try and just do not like? people buy it for $1 or just give it to a friend to see if they like it?


Thanks so much

I'm really enjoying my Hangsen Cherry Vanilla! :)

I have even tried that, mixing the two together and its still ewww. I do not know if I am looking to get something i can't. I love Cherry drink mixes the smell, and taste and this stuff is no where near it. This stuff is almost like cough medicine

How did you mix it?

Just buy mixing like half and half of the two mixes I already had made up. just can not get it to taste good. Maybe i should try to mix them together in a batch with them together.

it came pre mixed, but i have try it straight out of the bottles half and half in my clearomizers, I have try to use some of my VG and water to mix it together, as I have done this with other flavors and they turned out nice.

I have a foul smelling flavoring that you would swear you could NEVER turn into a vapable liquid. It is my favorite!! TFA Caramel Cappucino. Seriously, do not use more than ONE DROP of it per 10 entire milliliters of base. Mixed with sweet cream it turns a lovely pale pink, and it tastes amazing.

Overflavoring, the fastest way to turn a good thing into a bad thing.

What percentage did you mix these at? How long did you wait before you tried them?

HS Cherry 5%
HS Vanilla 2%

Well they were suppose to be ready to vape, honestly i do nto remember what i asked for, pretty sure i asked for 50/50 VG/PG... but I have tryed to mix my own using it
every time I mix my own I always use a 15ml bottle, I use 11.5ML VG, 1ml Distilled water or vodka, 1ML of the flavor.
My watermelon turned out nice by doing this but it is TFA brand.

I have left the caps off all of these tying to steep but doesn't seem to help.

Yeah, I tried TPA's Black Cherry. I do admit it's pretty disgusting as a cherry flavor. The only way it tastes good, is by mixing it with eucalyptus and menthol.

I used to vape it when I had a cold. Straight up cherry cough drop !

Ha ha.. Might be all its good for. I love the TFA Watermelon, chocolate strawberry n cream but not the Black cherry

Most of the cherry flavorings I've tried are hella strong. I used a toothpick, dipped the tip in the bottle of concentrate and swirled that toothpick in the mix bottle. I could definitely taste cherry in the vape. This particular one was maraschino cherry. Maybe try the HS Vanilla to where you like it and do the toothpick thing with your cherry until it gets there.

I usually use the black cherry at 1-2%, even at those percentages it's hard to keep it from being overpowering.

Maybe i did use to much, I will try again, I took the lid and top off last night and let them sit all night. i think i will try to mix some in a few to see what happens, maybe it be a good outcome, I am about to use up all of my VG, have wasted it making unusable batches

Well I let them steep with the tops all the way off, I mixed the % suggested above and it seemed better but I think I might should try the cherry at less % also, it seemed strong. Its got a strange smell to it.
I try just the Vanilla today and it was okay but i got a really really bad burned taste and after that nothing taste good so I'm done vaping for the night

I'd also let it steep a while and you might also try EM or Brown Sugar. I find that they tend to take some of the edge off the black cherry. Right now I'm working with the cherry on a cherry cheesecake. That's proving to be tough to get right because the two flavors need to be combined yet distinct. They are definitely tough flavors to mate, at least for me.

I'm wondering if a bit of sweet cream or the like might flesh out their flavor. I actually like the flavor by itself but it seems as if it becomes thin and insubstantial when low in the mix.

Brown sugar flavoring, not brown sugar from your kitchen. Sugars burn on coils. You'll be inhaling actual smoke from burnt sugar. Believe me when I tell you it tastes nasty.

I'm not home so don't have access to my spreadsheet but I think mine is Flavor Art. I'll double check that for you tonight.

I think you're on the right track with regard to time and inattention toning down the flavors. Good luck!

I have tried several cherry flavors and they all taste like cough medicine. I finally found one that tastes good and that's Flavor West wild cherry. The only thing I don't like about it is once it's mixed, it has to be shaken each and every time you use it. It turns cloudy when shaken and is crystal clear when it sits for awhile. I'm thinking it must have an oil base but I didn't have any problems with coil clogging. It blends well with just about any other flavor.
