adding flavoring to unvapeable juice?

[Broseidon]

I'm not sure if this belong here. but i figure this has more to do with DIY flavorings.

I bought this juice that i custom mixed on a website, I thought it would be good but, it tastes terrible. I was aiming for a blueberry kush flavor but it tastes like skunk vomit and the blueberry isn't noticeable at all. Is there a certain fruit flavoring that's really strong that I can add to it to mask the taste? Its a 50 ml bottle and it was pretty expensive so I don't really want to throw it away.

I also have a 50ml bottle of maple syrup flavor but it smells like pure alcohol, ive left the cap off for a few days but that didn't help. Any ideas on that one? Both have steeped for over 6 weeks now and no improvement.

IME, for the most part, adding anything to bad juice is like putting lipstick on a pig.

Menthol. That's the only thing that could possibly mask skunk. Strong menthol.

You might be more well served by purchasing some unflavored juice at your preferred nic level (it should cost a lot less than what you are replacing), and adding flavors to that. That way you can experiment with your own flavorings, without spending so much.

I've heard tomato helps when sprayed by a Skunk

The leave the cap off "trick" never made any sense to me, if the alcohol does not float to the top how is it supposed to evaporate? I've never had an e-juice that had a layer of alcohol on top and I use alcohol based flavorings.

Sometimes, it's just gotta contribute to the municipal water supply.

Maybe you could dilute it first with a lot of VG and then add a bit of menthol. On the other hand VG is pretty cheap so maybe just throw it out and start again as I have done in the same circumstances.

If cost matters, DIY. Once you are producing juice that costs about $0.10 per ml and is flavored just the way you like it, you can look back at those expensive bottles of useless juice and laugh, maybe donate them, although by the way you describe them, it might be best to take them to a hazardous waste disposal facility.

Letting the juices sit with the cap off will let the more volatile flavor compounds escape, this can help mellow the juice but it can also let certain flavors get lost completely.
Letting it sit with the cap on for an extended period of time allows the flavors to "mature".

Sometimes either(or both) of these can fix an unvapable liquid, and sometimes it can make it worse. Leaving the cap off for weeks may mellow it enough that its almost unflavored, depending on the particular flavors involved.
