I'm all about steak and potatos... either that or Tomato soup, Roast Beef and Blueberry pie... call it Wonka
I think that some flavors are going to be impossible to capture, whereas others are going to be super easy. Single simple flavors for instance will be easy.
Butterscotch for instance. I tried some butterscotch..that was some awesome vape right there, and as i typed it, my brain remembered how it tasted...guess it was pretty good my mouth is watering now *drooooool*
Blueberry: Almost has to be easy to capture. just have to watch it with some fruit flavors however...the more acidic they are the harder they are on you. take lemon or citrus in general...wham!
Roast beef: if they can make a flavor packet for ramen noodles thats beef flavored..they can make this..so i presume the roast beef juice ive seen for sale is at least close enough to recognize as beef broth, and hopefully closer to roast beef.
BBQ and Smoke (like cooking meat over a spit)...am i kidding? nope, i saw those flavors. in fact I'm considering tryin them...wonder if they have a BBQ cheeseburger? drool...
Then there's the combos...Yes you can combine a couple of simple strong flavors and occasionally get a win.
Thin mints, Maple (maple and tobacco..i duno why those go together well but omg they do) and vanilla goes with like...anything... I wonder if you could mix vanilla, chocolate, and cherry and make "Chocolate covered cherry"? My dad used to be big on gettin us kids all a box or 10 of those for Christmas each and every Christmas regardless of what else we were getting..it was a guaranteed thing.
Combos that dont work well are flavors that dont normally occur together, or flavors that dont compliment each other. Such flavors would be things like Beef stew, or Tossed salad, or any other group of flavors that when mixed lose their individuality.
Many people have preconceived notions of what a flavor *should* taste like, then discover that the flavor they get is not precicely what they had in mind when they try it. Some fruit flavors taste more like medicine fruit flavoring than candy or pie filling flavors for instance.
One last thing no one seems to realize is that flavor is translated differently through a cartomizer than it is through another device...like a 510 or 901.
A 901 belts out flavor but the nicotine hit seems somehow diminished. A 510 is a little harsher, with more "throat hit" if youre into that sort of thing, but diminished on flavor. A cartomizer seems to more fully atomize the liquid, probably due to the "through the atomizer/cart" design rather than boiling the liquid on a surface then hoping it makes it to little air holes on the sides of the same cart that is holding the liquid.
A Vapor King atomizes liquid throughout the length of the cartridge filler, and as such atomizes a greater volume of liquid at a time. Oddly enough the taste is "different" with all other things being equal (same liquid).
As a result, the liquid has to be customized for the carts, so that they translate properly to the taste that was intended. Some flavors of e-liquid work wonderfully just the way they are in a cartomizer...but they *always* taste different between a cartomizer and a 901 or 510 atty.
Right now Steve is working with the manufacturer to "adjust" the flavors so that they translate more properly to cartomizer atomization.
This will almost certainly mean that the flavors will be closer to a 901 in taste, closer to a 510 in vapor production, and be much better in overall performance.
Just like a high performance car, some things need to be "tuned" for maximum performance. It's my opinion that the cartomizer design is one of those things...and requires the juice to be tuned to it's unique atomization method. If what Steve says is true, the new run of cartomizers we have on the way are going to jar us a bit considering what were used to...which is, in effect...standard atomizer tuned sauce in a cartomizer...kinda like low grade unleaded in a hot rod...
I can't wait to run *my* hot-rod on some aviation fuel for a change.
