Hmm ... tried Dill Pickle just now and although it tastes great, it seems to have an over-riding taste like burnt rubber bands. I got this strange taste from Strawberry and Watermelon too (even with EM or sweetener). Does anyone else get this? I only did the Dill Pickle at 5% and the fruits at around 10-12% so I'm sure that I'm not overdoing it. Its weird that I get it so strongly with these three but not the other PA flavors. Any ideas? Thanks

edit: I don't know if my tastebuds have gotten used to this Dill Pickle or a little steeping time brought it around but it now tastes pretty awesome. A really fresh an crisp dill pickle flavor that will be good to vape once in a while but definitely not an all day vape, lol.

When everyone speaks of drops per mil of EM or Cotton Candy from PA, are yall referring to the big drops that you get from the dropper of a PA 4ml bottle, the medium drops that you get from a PA syringe, or the itty bitty drops you get from those small pipettes that come free with your order. (I've been using syringe size drops but always feel that I could benefit from more.)

I started out using 1 drop per ml with the tiny pipettes. It was waaaay to sweet for me... had an aftertaste like I just drank a diet soda (i hate that artificial sweetener aftertaste) so I dropped it to 1 drop per 2ml and it seems to be working for me so far.

there is a EM liquid and cotton candy flavoring. which is the sweeter case?

The Circus style Cotton Candy is a flavoring. The Cotton Candy is the sweetener and believe me, there is a huge difference! I accidentally ordered the Circus style thinking it was the sweetener and my juices were bitter as crap! Linda sent me a bottle of the regular Cotton Candy, even though it was my mistake. She's a super lady!

Guess after reading up all your reply I think there is something wrong with the cotton candy I have now because even adding 5 drops per mo is not having any effect of sweetness to me and my friend.

I should have clarified: I use the sweetener flavor from TPA, not the cotton candy. It's sucralose diluted in PG.

yes pear is awesome. pear and red bull , sweetener added to both, are my every day vape at 20%. I would like them to come out with a stronger pumpkin flavor, tried PA and FF pumpkin and both are so week at 50% I can barley taste the pumpkin. Also tried there strawberry, watermelon, sweet tart, apple, all are great.

Maybe if you send Elite a PM, your question will be noticed as he (she) may not visit this thread again.

Anyhow, am I the only one here who is absolutely in love with Dill Pickle? The comments on TPA's website said to go for 20% strength but I tried 5% and felt that it was just right at 5V. Man, what a job Linda did on this one - it's like chewing a small Dill Pickle. And the nice thing is that it doesn't leave an annoying aftertaste, it's just a very clean and satisfying vape. I know vaping Dill Pickle just doesn't sound right but trust me, it's all good. Oh, and no sweetener is needed, just mix and go.

I :wub: pickles, I'm a pickle addict! (No joke, I always have multiple jars of different kinds so I can have whichever one I want when the mood strikes me. I even drink the juice lol) I really need to get some of this to try. I saw some listed in the PIF forum but I was too late to get it :cry:

Do you know if it's only available on Linda's website?

Thats why I prefer to use ml instead of drops , a ml is a ml , regardless of the liquid.

I totally agree ... I hate counting drops, when I can just measure from a syringe and be done with it. I do however resort to drops when it comes to adding more flavor to something that is weak. As far as TPA flavors, so far most of my flavors except Pineapple and Blueberry extra required 20% to start + 5 drops.

My most disappointing purchase has been the Caramel Candy ( supposed to taste like Werthers, which happens to be my fav sucking candy and this flavor is not even on the same planet as Werthers candy), Dulce de Leche ( this is my favorite ice cream flavor and again tastes absolutely nothing like Dulce de leche .. NOTHING like it), and Cheesecake which is a little stinky, very weak, and at 25% tastes a tad bit like cheese with NO CAKE.

Love TPA Pineapple, blueberry, ripe banana, French Vanilla, and sweet cream (which is not sweet at all, but perfect for adding creaminess to other flavors. Double Chocolate is ok, and Apple is a bit of a tease .. more like the essence of Apple, but no solid apple flavor. Toasted Almond took a few days to develop, and while it could be stronger still on the Almond side, I think it does taste like toasted almond, and with a tiny bit of sweetner (which I don't have) it could be very lovely.

I have yet to mix up Strawberry, and Hazelnut Prailine ...

I got it as soon as she put it on site...in hopes of using it very diluted, that it might have offered a slightly salty edge to juices...(along with being dared to get some :))....at same to was trying to create a candy vape (Payday) and a salt would be needed.

I too mixed at 5%, and that afternoon went out to eat with family....it went perfectly with a cheesburger I was eating!!! Odd, yes, but good...

There ya go!

Glad to hear I am not the only one that could appreciate a vape that isn't sweet or fruity at meal time. Not that I vape while chewing my grundage...but just sayin. :laugh:
