Hard to say. Never liked vanilla!lol
Everyone has different taste responses. Not sure if your gonna find the answer your looking for.
Try someone Else's vanilla. Preferably if they have samplers for sale so you don't have to make a large investment to taste test, so that you may compare.
As for your expectations of liquid tasting like vanilla ice cream or vanilla pudding or whatever your idea of what this vanilla
eliquid should taste of, All I can say is my chocolate, does have a chocolate like taste...but more like a fake chocolate taste........like a Yoo-hoo.
