Ok I have come to the conclusion that I just can not vape chocolate...EVERY chocolate vape that I have tried steeped/unsteeped, dark ,sweet, mixed with mint/ fruits/ nuts , different PG/VG levels just taste musty to me. Other seem to be able to taste the chocolate with no problems but I cant...I love to eat chocolate and can taste it fine when I eat it...even telling what type it is ...but I can not vape it...Has anyone else had a problem like this ?

I had a similar reaction to a chocolate liquid that my friend was raving about. Took a toot and it tasted bland. We were at lunch and after I had a jalapeno I tried another toot and the chocolate hit me like a train :)

I'm not a big fan of chocolate so I haven't had to resort to carrying around peppers with me to enjoy a vape

I have found in my limited experience that you tend to get either a chemical taste from the milk chocolate or it is more of a cocoa which is dryer in flavor. If you like the cocoa flavor (the dark powder that they sprinkle on some desserts) it is a nice flavor but if you want milk chocolate, you will be disappointed.

chocolate like coffee and burning cigarettes are flavor hard to replicate. Not impossible, but difficult.

As stated previously, dry cocoa powder is easier, like Halo's Belgian Cocoa. Halo's Shamrock does a nice job and the mint portion takes away some of the bitterness of the cocoa.

I have not had a ton of chocolate flavors, but one takes a little soapy like imitation chocolate in drugstore candies.

Try sampler bottles. I hear Fancee juice's chocolate is very good.

If you are after a cocoa vape, check out HHV Tuscan Cocoa. It's good on its own ans as a mixer.

I like dark chocolate and cocoa powder...I may try again on some of these flavors suggested in the future and have a bottle of Shamrock on the way from Halo (contest win) I would really like to be able to taste chocolate...I did find a coffee that I liked....and dont like tobaccos.

I eat jalapenos and other spicy foods like curry almost daily...even that does not help, and I can taste other light and subtle flavors...I love the AiV vapes and have even had to dilute some stronger juices with unflavored to make them vape-able...its just chocolates I cant taste...I just get a musty flavor

Same here. I didn't have a word to describe it but now that you mention "musty" that is exactly it. I taste musty where other members of my family don't. Could be I'm just too picky about chocolate in general. I wouldn't eat a Hershey bar. Yuck. Only European chocolate for me.

I tried samples of both Shamrock and Belgian Cocoa from Halo and both had that musty taste to me. My daughter took them and now they're all gone. They didn't taste funky to her like they did to me.
