Are most juices bad?

[ChinMullet]

**I bought one juice from a great vendor named after a name-brand bourbon. Hated it, thought it tasted like stale chocolate and not much else. Certainly not like bourbon or anything close. My employee tried it, said yuck, tastes like bubble gum. Neighbor thought maybe banana or something fruity that he couldn't identify but he liked it well enough to he took it off my hands.

When I smoked cigars, I was introduced to a "flavor wheel", that was supposed to help identify flavors. (never seemed to help me much, but whatev..)

I just Googled "flavor wheel" images, and see that they exist for everything from cigars to wine to coffee to chocolate to chili peppers. Perhaps we need one for e-juice.

I've only been at it myself for a month now but DIY is for sure the way to go. you can pick up the 3.7ml sample bottles of flavor for about 2 bucks and at that cost you can go wild finding the right flavor. Currently grooving on Loran Tropical punch for dripping..

Is it fair to say that that perfumey taste usually goes away with steeping?

I'm curious how much the PG/VG mix you select affects the flavor? Pausing to consult my cheat sheet...PG allegedly gives you stronger flavor, and VG gives more sweetness. Of the sites that allow you to customize the mix, it seems like a lot of them have a "default" mix, and on at least a couple they claim their recipes are optimized for that particular mix. Is that just marketing hype? Do those of you who have a preferred mix always order that mix, or do you accept the default?

I have had some really crappy juices from different vendors. I recently purchased some juices from Backwoods Brew. Their stuff is awesome!! If you like the RY4, then youre going to love their RY4. You will want to let the juices sit for about 10 days though. That is their only drawback.

I totally agree! The only issue with the RY4, though, is it's discontinued and the last batch was the final run. I could be mistaken and someone in the Backwoods Brew forum would know better than me, but that's my understanding. Still, it's tough to go wrong with them regardless of the juice flavor. Alien Visions is another vendor that's generally pretty spot on, if you ask me.

I guess we can just use some common sense when mixing our DIY..

I just got my DK RY4 and added some RY4 flavoring and a couple of drops of honey... came out not bad- nice nutty flavor with just honey light accent. I assume I'll let it steep for a while and it will be fine. I will wait even it pretty nice already.

What's the best place to get some RY4 flavoring by itself? I know that there are a lot of variations of RY4, but I just didn't know of any place that carried just the flavor. I have some unflavored e-liquid that I would love to mix some flavor to...

I agree with you on brands/ I smoked Malboro lights and nothing else, I didnt try other cigs because I liked what I had. Same goes for e-liquid... I have been using Innovapors Ultrapure for over 2 years now. I like it because its 100% VG and comes in 0-36mg nicotine strength... I use lite or unflavored... Every now and then I have ordered some other vendors flavored juice... You know the story, after a few hits I cant stand it, so I pass it on to my freind.............
