I wanted to throw an idea out there at the DIY community, (and please if this has already been done then maybe someone can direct me to the link) as a DIY'er I find it very frustrating to get a flavoring that taste like perfume or flowers (floral) and honestly throw the flavoring straight into the trash as I can not stand to vape anything with that floral taste. So I thought rather than spend thousands of dollars on my own to find out which ones to stay away from maybe we can all give feedback as to which flavors gave you a floral taste. I know taste is subjective so use this list at your own discretion - if you disagree with what someone says about said flavor, then mention the flavor in question and it will be noted. If 100 people all say the same about a flavor...well then it's probably so... I think the list should go something like this:

MFG - FLAVORING - (PERCENTAGE USED) - RESULT AFTER MIX - RESULT AFTER STEEPING (how long steep in (parenthesis) )

TFA - Maraschino Cherry - (from 1-5%) -Strong Florally taste - after steep (2wks) Still Strong Florally Taste

LA - Raspberry - Floral - after steep (2wks) floral taste lightened a bit but still there



I think this list would be helpful to DIY'ers and could possibly save us some money. What does everyone else think? If this list gets going maybe we can get it stickied and if any of you could help out with the upkeep of an ongoing list that would be great.

Hell I guess I'll start the list since I'm getting feedback! Keep em coming! If someone has a different result with a flavor listed please post your experience with the flavoring and % used in your mix!

If you get a floral/chemical/stinky taste from a juice sometimes it was mixed too strongly. TFA Huckleberry has a horrible floral taste, unless it is mixed correctly at a very low %. Then it tastes like.. huckleberries!

Start at 1 - 2% for juices that are too "floral", you may surprise yourself.

That's a good point that I forgot to mention. If you submit a post please post % used in your mix. The ones I have posted I used in at different %'s down to 1% and still get the floral taste. If someone has a different result at a different mix ratio then please post your result. This will not be a perfect list but I still think it will help.

Really? French Vanilla? I don't get floral at all from that one! Cracks me up how different our taste buds are.

TFA Honeysuckle. I have a recipe that uses a bit over .25ml for a 10ml bottle. To me it's a bit floral but it is supposed to be and I like it. My son can't stand it and acted like he got a mouthful of girly shampoo.
