Juices and the psychology of taste

[Sa Da Tay]

First off I will state that I don't consider myself to have a super fine-tuned sense of taste, but I have enough to generally appreciate the different flavor components in juices. With that said, I can acknowledge that my assessment of a flavor can largely depend on the labeling of the juice and any preconceptions based upon other's reviews/descriptions. This has been the case in the past especially with fruity candies; i.e. I have a hard time correctly identifying a hard candy as raspberry (vs strawberry, cherry etc) if I don't know beforehand that it's raspberry-labeled candy. I find e-juices to be even moreso like this for me. I go a bit crazy with having multiple cartos/juices on hand and it's hard to keep up with color-labeling them. I might vape some mystery juice/carto and although it may taste generally pleasant, I can't place the exact flavor. Then I'll figure out what juice it is and immediately the flavor "settles in" and seems to actually taste better. I find this psychological component very interesting.

That's why I don't ask people to review the juices I just ordered. I like to go in with a blank mind and if I need help figuring it out ill ask. I agree with you.

I have probably vaped 2 OZ of Copper Creek's House Blend, read review after review and still have no clue what it tastes like TO ME , other than it's really very good!

I'm vaping a "mystery" juice right now that was given to me by a vendor known for their complex flavors. It was a test and I started to really like it, yet they don't have a recipe to make it again. I wish I had a better palate so I could tell all of what's in it! I normally like clearly identifiable flavors, and the three listed on the bottle don't come close to what I'm tasting. I'm going to have to send a sample to them so they can try to replicate it. My first flavor I don't recognize but like!
