How many do you have?

[Hoosier]

You know you COULD HAVE told me that BEFORE I counted

Me? Tell BEFORE? Why would I be holding this video camera and have AFV in the quick contacts list if I were to go telling Before?

Oh ok now I see how it is.

I've been at the DIY for 1 1/2 years ....

I'm afraid to count. I have one of those large 3 drawer storage plastic cabinets dedicated to them all.
I really need to stop trying new flavors I think..... someone stop me

Just one (1) flavor. I'm strange.

Cheers,

There are quite a few aroma and flavor wheels already out there that are used for wines, coffee and other tasting. Got a full time job but whoever has good smell and taste senses with a reasonable amount of free time might want to take this and run with it.

Probably should look to someone that has 200 + flavors though so we have a broad spectrum analysis

I have a list of flavors, but what we need is a vaping flavor wheel. Noting color isn't a bad idea, but I think it is more the premixed juice places like Johnson's Creek that put god knows what sticky stuff in their juices you have to worry about. A flavor by flavor testing is a good idea, but it is really hard to give good taste descriptors and even though I work on this sometimes I can't do better than "It's good."

Even 200 doesn't cut it for an analysis, but anyone could rework various flavor wheels into something applicable for vaping. It would be a massive project though to do a good one, because you have everything tobacco + fruits, chocolates, drinks.... pretty much everything out there.

Flavor science is a pretty obscure profession with only like 500 people employed full time in the US. There's no real "natural ability" when it comes to flavor science. It's like anything else one might want to get good at, having particular methods to learn and requiring practice. These methods are pretty much locked up in books that cost hundreds of dollars and expensive journals but you can find some stuff searching google. Even then, the industry is very secretive so as much as I do spend time on this stuff I still don't know very much.

200+, and growing every week. Guess that makes me a DYI juice addict. lol

I've got 11, and 11 more in the mail to be delivered. Just started buying DIY last week, made my first juice last night,
10ml of blackberry cheesecake. I was ultimately surprised how well it turned out. If they can all turn out this well I'll be doing alright!!!
