Have you fixed a juice you didn't like?

I have quite a few juices I've made at 30 or 60ml back when I first started doing diy (and didn't think to make small test batches) that I don't like. Have you been able to "fix" a juice you didn't like? Just thought I'd ask before pouring it down the drain. Are some flavors more fixable than others?

Some I've fixed some I gave away to people I didn't much care for:)

Some you can fix by diluting others you can fix by adjusting flavor percentages or adding complementary flavors to it. Some you can't fix at all because you just don't like the flavoring you added. The ones you just don't like the flavor of you may find others like so just give them away.

Yes. I poured several I didn't like into one bottle, shook like an angry nanny, and vaped. Strangest liquid I've ever vaped, but I can't say it was bad, even though I could STILL taste the INW Rhubarb.

Seriously, it probably depends on what you've got, why you don't like it, and how far gone from "likeness" it is. There are some flavors I'll/you'll simply never like.

I have a handful of orange creamsicle juices I don't like as well as some strawberry based ones .

Extreme ice fixes alot of things! Strangest thing I have made was cucumber Lime that tastes just like the Gatorade and is even better with a little extreme ice.

Try mixing it with something you do like in a small 1 or 2 ML batch and play with them. Could turn into drain freshener or into some wonderful new creation. You never know until you try. Can also be used to keep animals away from the BBQ drip tray or out of the garbage cans!

That's kind of what I was thinking, dilute the heck out of it and add it to something else, but wanted to also check in here. I hate to throw away any juice with nic as I live in CA and our tax just went way up. Perhaps I should start mixing batches with no nic?

I would try mixing them together. If you have lots, mix equal parts of each in a small quantity. You never know...You might get something vapeable out of it. Only problem is if you really like it, it'll be very difficult to make again exactly the same way.

I have never had one turn out bad in the beginning but I have one here that I thought was great that was sitting a while that is kind of bland. Not sure if it is due to the Premium e-liquids I have so many of right now or it is just too simple to tease my taste buds.

    Sometimes a Weak e-Liquid that just doesn't taste Great can be Mixed with a Stronger e-Liquid. This can sometimes work.

    But Most of the time, this is How I Fix Them...

    I usually just throw it down the drain. Especially if it is a flavor profile that I was iffy about to begin with.

    I just don't get why it's so difficult to make a yummy orange creamsicle! Or maybe it's just me!

    I have an Orange Banana that tastes like a Creamsicle and next time I am going to mix in some Vanilla Ice Cream which should be interesting. My last order I bought some Sweetener and Sour so some new experiments in my future. Those I will be using a 3ML glass dropper bottle for testing.

    I made an Orange Dreamsickle. Wasn't very fond of it. Just knew I would love it. Going in the pitch pile too.

    Your very welcome sometimes just chatting I get an idea because of someone musing about something they might like. I am going to do something with a Strawberry, Pineapple and Coconut Cream also. That one has started to get to paper so to speak but only a PC file at the moment.
