HI.
I've lost my sense of smell (neurological effect of having diabetes ... now reversed :) ) anyway I need really strong tasting liquids.
So far the only 2 I have encountered that do the job are Snake Oil and Druide.
I'd love a nice custard based liquid but it needs to be really strong in flavour. Can anyone recommend something?

Failing that is my only recourse to make my own?

Thanks
AC

What device ( tank ) do you currently use and what coil is in it and what are the watts set to normally ?

A good number of vendors will offer you the option of a "boost" in flavor, also PG tends to provide more flavor than VG so a liquid slanted towards more PG than VG may help.
More flavouring in a liquid does not always mean you'll get more flavour in the vapour. It is worth a try however.
Once I cut VG out of my mixes I was able to go from 8% flavouring down to 4 or 5%.
8% no longer was a likeable level, it gave an awful taste. Cheers.

I'm right there with you on % BUT the op is buying pre-made, more than likely @ or above 20 % flavoring and wanting to add more ...........

Sleeping Dragon Vapor's Daft Spunk & Skeleton Key (www.sleepingdragonvapor.com)

Nite Lite Vapor's BlueBerry Beach & Apricot Brandy (www.pvliquids.com)

Steam Juice's Jerry Juice (www.steamjuice.us)

Good Life Vapor's Spook Sauce & Tahitian Pearl (www.goodlifevapor.com)

Ahlusion's Mango Lassi & Lychee Coconut Smoothie (www.ahlusion.us)

Hope you find many juices that suit you!

I have issues with taste usually due to my insane allergies and fact that i was a smoker for 20 years. So I generally go after really strong tasting eliquids (at least they taste normal to me and usually strong to those around me). Vanilla Clouds from vapewild I usually do 65/35 or max vg flavor boosted (usually have to let this sit) sometimes ill go 65/35 boosted but it can be a bit to hardcore at times.

Yashu from Yeti vapes one of the first vapes I tried and it's very strong flavor waffles with vanilla custard.

Also Super Charged Heavens Ry2k tends to have a very strong taste to it. Usually my go to if I run out of juice and gotta hit the vape shop.

I tend to stick to the vanilla/custard stuff as it seems to be my best bet for a "hard flavor" that I can taste from most juice makers.

Vanilla clouds is probably my favorite juice tho by far always can taste it even on a really crappy allergy day.

Sorry, I'm kind of rusty now on the pre-mixed scene, so no specific recommendations. Considering your condition, you're probably a prime candidate for DIY. Barring that, I'd steer you towards mints, menthol, cinnamon, anise, (very) robust tobaccos, any flavors that manifest primarily on mouth and tongue. I'd say forget about complex blends and stick with simple profiles.

Custard will be a tough one. Were you to try DIY, you could start experimenting with something like CAP V1 at unusually high % in PG dominant ratio. Like, maybe 25% in 30VG/70PG base. I imagine a lot of chemical notes surfacing at those levels, though maybe they'd be imperceptible to you.

On the DIY side, there are others I'd recommend as well. TFA Caramel Original and Dulce de Leche both work well at high % (as in, overpoweringly flavorful before they degenerate into chemical nastiness). Some tobaccos also come to mind that I think I could squeeze major amounts of (overwhelming for me) flavor from before they become unpleasant. You'd be a fun and challenging person to mix for, that's for sure!

Thanks for all the advice !!!
I'm reluctant to go DIY as I've got enough odds and sods sitting on my shelf.
I've heard of 'gels' being strong for drippers ... I've also heard there are some 'boosted' pre-mixed flavours out there.
I'll try some of these suggestions and if there's anyone out there who feel they have a mix they make themselves and would like to sell me something special I'd be happy to chat so PM me please.

Thanks
Adrian.

I have a stack of mods and tanks/drippers with various single and double coils in different configurations.
So not really an issue in terms of hardware ... if you have a brilliant custard then let me know what it works best with and I'll give it a whirl.
