Hipster e-liquid?

[Feldrod]

Hi guys.
I recently posted a post that was asking for Cherribakki replacement.
No suceed yet but I wanted to ask you.
Do you have some best "hipster-ish", funky, unique flavours you enjoy?
I am not hipster myself nor I would enjoy vaping "Wet Dreams" (reffering to Zamplebox now) but I found that I enjoy quite funky, nonclassic flavours. Cherribakki being my favorite now so if any of you guys have ideas on some great unique flavour (may be DIY or pre-mixed) don't worry to post it.
(Personally I am looking for 30-50% VG maximally for my nautilus 2)

I live in Czech Republic. I want concrete suggestions. I don't care looking at different sites if they ship to Czech Republic. What could be really interesting would be sandalwood flavour without anything else. I am quite lover of sandalwood's smell.

I guess the one question I'd have to help out is, what's a hipster juice?

 

[IDJoel]

Any juice you are vaping; while you are wearing suspenders, bow tie, and a bowler hat, and twirling your waxed mustache! Oh; and an arrogant look of self-importance helps too!

Sorry; my "Old Curmudgeon" is showing.

I'm going with "what is left on the sidewalk after someone riding a fixie with no brakes piles into a garbage truck"

Old Curmudgeon is the New Hipster.

Hipster juice for me is juice that is not vaped by many. Funky taste that isn't bad but isn't enjoyed by everyone.
As I said. I could imagine "sandalwood flavour" being hipster-ish or at least really unique but couldn't find that one except mixed with tobbaco and cherry in cherribakki. I am quite bored by the classics so I am finding something really unique.

Thank you Felrod for your suggestion about Cherribakki, it looked really interesting, so I ordered a bottle of the Liqua Cherribakki. After seeing many reviews it is apparently quite famous, so I am looking forward to trying it.

all clothing must "appear" to be obtained at goodwill, carrying a well worn jack Kerouac paperback.......and paying for said juice with mommy/daddy's AMEX card

Hipsters don't corner the market on unique and funky. Oh, I know they *think* they do, but they're all vaping the same stuff, LOL. Wearing the same outfits, and doing the same "speshul" stuff. Wow, lots of hipster "love" going on in this thread, so I'm going to apologize for that comment....

But for unique and funky, you're going to have to do some experimenting, I think. Unique and funky to me might look a lot different than "unique and funky" to you. There are listings on the DIY forum of various juice recipies, by looking at some you might come across some interesting DIY mixes, if you are interested in that. You have a lot more flexibility that way and can try combining some different flavors to see what you can create. I might go that route, since you said you were interested in either, and DIY is pennies on the dollar, so if you make a mix you hate, you don't have to be as upset, pouring it out....

I mix peppermint liquid with mixed berry liquid. I know, right. Crazy.
In the past i've tried various odd sounding flavours and my verdict on them is that they do indeed taste odd. Attar of Rose, Orange Blossom, Ginger Chilli etc. Never bought a second bottle.
I suppose Granpas Cough Medicine from Pipesauce is sort of an odd flavour. I can vape that for a day or so and then have to leave it for a month. Not sure if it's hipster though.

 

[CaveFurby]

I need to start a Hipster juice company. I'd need really pretentious....er..."interesting" juice names, that have nothing to do with the juice flavor, and give no explaination either. Something like "Uncomfortable Lama" or "Curley-Toed Gypsy Juice" or "Smiling Baboon Cookie". And not post prices, cause you know, if you have to ask, you can't afford it. And cultivate a beaded goatee, wear turtle-neck sweaters, maybe a man-bag. Walk around vape conventions with a ferret on my shoulder and a walking stick. What do you think?

If it really tastes like codeine cough medicine then I would jump right into it.
I have no experience with codeine cough medicine but as somebody with medium insomnia I have experience with Rivotril in drops (blue liquid that I dropped 5 drops into a glass of water, with really unique sweet flavour with ethanol burn in the throat) and dammit. If I could I would drink whole bottle in one day (One bottle was supposed to last me for a 20 days )

@ppeeble, that concoction sounds like the type of stuff my son used to vape. This horrific combination of berries and menthol, LOL. Even as a smoker, when he'd chuck clouds in the car, I'd get vaguely nauseous. Yes, even with the window OPEN. Definitely a hipster flavor for sure.... LOL.

@CosmicGopher, I am in full support of the ferret! I briefly owned a ferret, well my son did, and the backstory is hilarious but way too long to get into. Ferrets are bad news! They're smart, but they don't play well with others! The only really cool thing the ferret did was eat my son's two birds, which I almost hated more as pets (they are so MESSY and GROSS). But by all means, a ferret, in fact it should be required ownership for ALL hipsters, they'd be so busy dealing with the ferret, they would have less time to be "uniqe" and yes, that u was left out purposefully....

I did briefly co-own a rat in college, but it wasn't a good experience.... If you want a functional company, perhaps a cat in a backpack? I'm thinking that might work out better....

Codeine Cough syrup tastes terrible. Most people only like it for the effects. Now Robutussun might be more my speed but now that I'm swallowing you know, normal amounts of it, I don't think it tastes good either... LOL.

@Feldrod,
By the nature of your desire, you are likely going to be best served, focusing on DIY. In general, commercial e-liquid vendors/manufacturers are always going to be concerned with profit, in order to stay in business. This means catering to the most "popular"flavor profiles. In other words: candy, fruit, custard, bakery, and tobacco. Not sandalwood and patchouli... <shudder>

If I were you, I would start by perusing the flavor concentrates, of the flavor manufacturers you can access easily in the Czech Republic, and look for unique/uncommon concentrates. As just one example, Inawera (Poland) has some more "off-the-grid" flavors like: (Star) Anise, Clove, Exotic Roots, Purple Rain (violet vanilla), Rose, Sesame, Smoked Plum, and Woodruff. Those are just the ones that caught my eye (as "different") under their "Fruit n sweet" category.

I have their Fresh Mint(WG), which smells exactly like fresh crushed mint leaves (vs. gum or candy). It is so realistic, I haven't figured out how to use it yet (other than a mojito component). I have fond childhood memories, of sucking the nectar out of honeysuckle blossoms, and have found a couple satisfying vapes using TFA Honeysuckle.

Flavour Art(Italy) is another one that has some interesting offerings in their "savory" category. Get concentrates of Bread Crust, Tomato Ripe, and Basil, along with Wine Red, and either Barley Malt, or Soy Sauce (to get close to a balsamic vinegar) and you could be on the road to a bruschetta... no? That sounds plenty hipster to me.
(Note on FA savory flavors: many of these are NOT recommended for vaping (contain oil and such); so be sure to research each thoroughly before buying/using.)

It is just going to take an open mind, some creativity, effort of course, and a willingness for trial and error.

Good luck!

PS. If you really are looking to do a "cough syrup" type; I would start with a base of cherry (or raspberry), and licorice. I would probably consider an absinthe flavor concentrate for the ethanol bite as my licorice. A touch of menthol might be good; and horehound should take it in more of a Vick's 44D/Jagermeister direction.

Horehound, honey, and menthol should get you a Luden's classic cough drop. Inawera Eucalyptus might be interesting as well.

@Feldrod

Thanks alot! Geniuenly helpful!
I am not into savory things as I think they'd taste awful.
What I am sure that alot of these savory concetrates aren't "not suitable for vaping" because of containing plant oil but because they cotain diacetyl and other alike compounds. Which I give zero fs about because I am quite sure diacetyl isn't the main cause of bronchiolitis obliterans ("popcorn lung") and for "Night, vaporwave chill vape" it doesn't matter much. The Exotic Roots sounds really interesting.
When I will find a job (I am student and it is quite extremely hard to find anything other than main job which would overlap with school) I will definitely consider this. I also thinking about trying Green tea with some fruits. As I always loved white tea and raspberry from Tekane (or it was Lipton?)
Also our local tea shop is selling whole leaf green tea with milk (which is green tea with rice-ish creamy taste)
Which I could also rebuild. Thanks alot!

I also thinking about trying Green tea

I personally find that "tea" concentrates translate well into vapes. I haven't used a wide variety of brands (mostly TFA/TPA) but they tend to provide a quality tea flavored vape. Green tea and Earl Grey are my current favorites (for teas). I would recommend staying away from TFA Black Tea; myself, as well as others find it much too potent, and just plain vile tasting.

I also agree that many fruits play well with teas. One of my more recent mixes that have found a repeat in the rotation is based on the beverage called an Arnold Palmer. It is a simple 50/50 mix of lemonade and iced tea. It is a refreshing summertime drink; and also makes a great vape that I do not tire of quickly. You can mix up the vape profile by switching out the type of tea concentrate. Secondary fruits (in addition to the lemonade), like strawberry and raspberry, give it an interesting twist.

But almost any fruit will do. I have tried multiple 2 flavor (tea + "____") mixes, that have all been pleasant. All the common suspects; like lemon, orange, raspberry, and peach, are obvious choices. But apple, pear, grapefruit, sea buckthorn, dragon fruit, and cactus have all been enjoyable. I have persimmon, and quince on my wish list to try as well.

The only other caution I would offer (besides staying away from TFA-Black Tea) is that I find I prefer my tea blends with only one or two fruits (at most!); otherwise the fruits get muddled, and the vape looses its definition (at best), or turns into down right unpleasant. It is okay to mix multiples of the same fruit (such as TFA, CAP, and FA raspberries) to creat a different raspberry profile; but don't mix too many different fruits (orange, peach, and pear; for example).
Best wishes when you are ready to start experimenting!
