In my first few months of vaping I probably dumped 200ml of different juices... learned real quick the types of flavors I don't like.

Since I started diy juice I've dumped a lot as well, but in 3-5ml increments at least.

Cinnamon roll is the most hated juice that comes to mind... for some reason it absolutely grosses me out.

ok guys thanks you helped me make my decision. The CE5 with the honeydew and the Protank with the Cherry area bout to get dumped and cleaned. No point in torturing myself with them.

Tuck the bottles away and see if they improve with time. If not at least I can use the bottles for DIY later on.

TO give you an idea I took a big vape on the cherry at 11 PM last night. Even after brushing teeth/tongue twice and breakfast I still can't get that perfumy taste out of my mouth ( its nearly 7 AM). :(

Nearly all "tobacco" juices taste like hamster bedding to me. Unvapable.

Yup! It seems like a lot of vendors do the ol' "Fake it to make it" when it comes to backo's. That dreaded taste of perfume/ potpourri and the smell of hamster bedding somehow makes it way to your taste buds. I'm going out on a limb here but sometimes I don't know what's worse, REALLY bad backo juices or a dry hit off an LR atty...

So far I've only had the problem w/ organic (100% organic, 100% VG)
Left the caps loose of to the side for 6 weeks on tiny dram bottles. They still smell like perfume - had them since Nov. Virgin Vapors.

That said I've also messed some up by adding too much extra flavor when "ye ol tastebuds" revolted. Creme de Menthe - just bcs it tastes good to eat ... LOL happily been able to add a few drops here and there to "use it up". Turtle Cheese Cake is another being blended off.

Now back to really enjoying tobacky flavors ...

Guys! Don't throw them away! There are 2 people that give unwanted juice and equipment to needy/low income people. You can find them through the Wanted ads in the Classifieds and I'm pretty sure both are willing to pay for shipping. Just an idea....

I've had a few that, to me, were just terrible. One was some kind of banana/caramel/vanilla thing from a vendor that has a lot of customer recipes for sale. It was gawdawful. Tasted like 40 day old banana nut bread with freezer burnt ice cream on top. My son loved it. Go figure. lol

When I tossed mine, I thought what a waste but didn't think or know I could donate it to someone who might enjoy it. Thanks for the info...

Oh no. I bought the DIY flavor!

don't worry, just because one person doesn't like it doesn't mean you won't love it

that is what I was about to say, don't throw them out! just because you don't like them doesn't mean they are bad liquids. you can find the guys glasseye mentions or go to the PIF section of the forum. you can also put them in the classifieds. I have put some liquids in the classified and only charged shipping....

Same here. I like vanilla icecream so. I got 'vanilla cream'. What were you guys thinking? Nothing as advertised. It seems that the more complex the recipie the higher the failure rate.

I absolutely agree. Got suckered into buying a few of those 'complex' flavors, waiting for weeks and then HUGE disappointment. Threw away Pendragon from MOV. Smelled up my juice drawer for a few months. Tasted like Over-ripened banana which I hate. Another is banana pudding from The Plume Room. YUK. Over-ripened banana again. I really dislike it when you wait 2 or 3 weeks, built up with anticipation based on others' recommendations, pay higher prices only to be let down. Those are 2 juices I threw out. Some of the fruit flavors like cherry, raspberry........I figured I could use them to add to less than vapeable juices to make them work. They taste like perfume but that's better to me than rotten bananas LOL!

Just because it sounds good, every flavor just doesn't translate into a vapable flavor for me. Even some that start out OK, I can only vape for about 10 minutes. I've found I don't like complex flavorings because one flavoring always seem to overpower the other flavorings in a bad way.

It's not about the supplier, it's more my selection I guess. Also tastes change. When I first started vaping, I needed in your face flavoring because my taste buds were dead. Now I like subtle.
