Yes, it happens to all of us. If they are new, let them steep a month or so and see if they become vapeable. I have found that adding caramel and vanilla juices can help make a juice more vapeable.

Also, I love coffee, so adding some coffee or expresso juice drops to certain juices helps them suit my tastes. This works especially well with tobaccos.

I have an amber apothicary jar with 800 mils of juice I didn't like. It's pretty much unvapeable. I'm going to buy some seedman's or some Tobacco Absolute and try to fix it. Hopefully before it goes from bad to worse. It started with a bottle of wantovape London and kept gettin' fuller and fuller. I dumped some fruit flavored juice in it and it's taken a long time to get that nastiness toned down. Oh well I know what juice I like now so if it ever turns out to be a pleasing vape them I'll be winnin'.

I heard about steeping but never really tried it. Thanks! I'll test it!

I loved the taste of some pineapple I had purchased, but it was so acidic I nearly coughed my lungs up. So I mixed it with my favorite watermelon juice 1:3 (1/4 pineapple; 3/4 watermelon). I loved that new flavor, and now I buy the pineapple just so I can mix this up for myself.

I hardly ever vape tobacco flavors anymore, but I added chocolate and hazelnut to them just so I could vape them and not have to throw them out. It wasn't exactly my favorite flavor, but it was good enough for me to vape. Juices can be expensive, so I try not to throw any of them out.

I favor the fruity-type flavors. If they have any undertaste I don't like (chemical or perfumey), I mix them with a creamy flavor. That usually takes care of the problem.

Yes! I was thinking of making some fruity tobacco... Or fruit punch

Shake them well. Then take the cap and dripper tip off the bottles and let them sit for a day or two. Then put the cap and tip back on and shake them well. Let them sit overnight and then shake them again every day for a week. Then taste test them. If they are not good, let them sit for another week (shaking periodically).

If they still taste bad after a month, or at least if they are not improving in taste, then they are probably a lost cause unless you can add some other juice to change the taste.

I think I see the problem. :)

A little bit o' London goes a long, long way! I add a few drops to my VS Phoenix sometimes but that's as far as she goes.

At this moment I am vaping juice from my "Tobacco Graveyard" bottle and it's surprisingly good, tastes a bit like an HHV juice. I lucked out this time.

Tobacco graveyard? Do you put the liquid you don't like in a big jar? I do tobacco mixes in small quantities...

Basically, yes. I had some leftover Dekang tobacco flavors I hadn't cared to vape, and put those in first. Then there were a few Vermillion River bottles with only 1/2 mL or so left in them, not enough to fill a carto, so I put those in too. And other stuff I can't remember...

I like to mix tobaccos too. My favorite is 70% Nite Lite Vapor Twilite and 30% NLV Waffles. To me it tastes like a better version of the old Bestecig Flue Cured juice.

What do you do with flavors you don't like? I have several half way flavors I hate, sometimes I mix them (specially tobaccos are mixable), but some fruits aren't. Any ideas? Juice is really expensive here and I can't afford to waste it.

2-3 drops of MTS Vape Wizard per 10ml can alter your ejuice a lot. It reduces the primary flavor concentrate and enhances the secondary flavors just a bit.
