Sadly, taste is just very subjective. When I first started, I looked for what everyone was vaping and I tried some, really disappointed.
I DIY now and I noticed that my sense of taste changes a lot throughout the day. Whether I have recently brushed my teeth, what I ate, just a lot of variables going on. When I make a new recipe (5ml) I fill a tank and vape on it at different times of the day to get a better survey of the flavor. The amount of steeping time can make a difference, too.
Anyway, early on, I looked for samplers in the 2, 3, 5ml size so that I didn't feel bad tossing them out. My success was about 10%. I eventually found about 15 that I liked, but they still weren't all day vape flavors.
Because I just can't vape the same flavor for very long, I have always had a lot of toppers. One thing I am glad for is that I took notes on the flavor. That way I never had to think as to why I didn't like it to begin with.
Good luck.
