Flavors that STINK

[dc99]

I thought this could be fun and informative. List flavors that you just cant seem to find a use for or that you just think stink and maybe some mixers know something we dont. It could be informative or a least interesting.
I started this because of one of my favorite flavors. INW grape. I got a new bottle with my last order and it is awful. Taste like straight up perfume. While Im not sure if it was a vendor screw up or its INW I do know its unvapable. I do know INW reformulated quite a few flavors but I dont know if this is one of them. Anybody ordered this lately?

Some flavors need to steep to develop flavor. Those are usually terrible until several weeks pass. Maybe your order came from a new batch that just needs time to mature. Fruits are usually shake and vape.

Joy. It's a flavor that tastes like the opposite of it's name. I'm so glad I bought a taster sized bottle as apparently those finding it "nice" are using a half a drop every 60 ml to add "something" to a mix, but it's not joy, IMO.

Best used for clearing away fart smells, IMO.

LOL.

Taste like straight up perfume.

Give it a week and it settles into a grape with a light floral note.

This is not going to steep out. Its way darker than the original and taste like perfume. I have two bottles from a different vendor and they arent even close. INW did redo some of there flavors. They used to have a great chocolate, now it taste like plastic. I guess the only way I will know if it is one that got re-formulated or the vendor screwed up is to order another bottle. I sent the vendor a message and havent heard anything.

Put it in a drawer and forget about it for a month. My INW grape clear does have a strong floral note when first mixed. Are you sure you ordered the correct INW grape?

That problem is fixed.
Now to what I really made this thread for. Flavors that are truly useless or maybe just misunderstood and used wrong.
Heres a good one. TFA cheesecake (not cheesecake graham crust). Anybody got a use for it?
Its nasty, has a horrible aftertaste.

I think cheesecake alone is nasssssssssty !
Like a soured milk nasssssssssssty !
Must be mixed with other flavors !

Worst Ive ever smelled was Black Flag Risen. Its supposed to be coffee and cigarettes buit it smells like mushroom Ramen noodles. Bleh

Here is a link to the list of reformulated Inawera concentrates: Inawera - a few reviews
Grape is not among them.

It was fixed. Was just a mistake. Stay away from that chocolate. After I found out the mistake I wished I could erase this thread and just start over with the flavor discusssion

So I've heard. But, I've also heard that TFA Honey does NOT smell like cat pee. I'm just getting ready to order some to try.

TFA DX Sweet Cream smells like vomit.

 

[Letitia]

Good to know. I've been lucky in that nothing I have smells badly enough to turn me off of using it.

I have FA Sweet Cream. Is that ok?

TFA DX Sweet Cream tastes fine in a mix but has a cheesy note to me. FA's Sweet Cream is good stuff! The smell doesn't always translate to taste in a mix, in my experience.
