    "Sweet spot" usually refers to the combination of voltage, atty resistance and juice makeup that gives you the flavor, vapor and throat hit that you most enjoy.
    It's a very subjective thing.

    Guess I wouldn't find that with juices that aren't my favorite. Been trying to vape my way thru some of my just OK tobaccos basically to get rid of them and just stick with my 2-3 favorites.

    No, there is no hope for some. I recommend just ignoring them and play around with your favorites. Find your happy place with those and enjoy!

    Later on, if you're feeling adventurous, you can come back to the not so good ones and play around with them. Or trade them. Or sell them.

    When I first started vaping, I felt the need to use up what I had. "Waste not, want not". I have since learned that happiness with vaping is obtained with finding the sweet spot on your favorite juice and just enjoying it. I have LOTS of neglected juice gathering dust, lol.

    Although, on adventurous days, I play around with some of those and find that, with the Buzz, my ever-changing tastebuds, and extended steeping, some of those not-so-good ones end up pretty tasty. Including some "earthy" ones :)

    Shelf life is pretty long (according to most peeps) when juice is stored correctly. 2 years, by most posters' standards. You can keep and ignore them for a while before trading/selling/PIFing/dumping or gifting them. You may find your tastes change in the upcoming months, try them again, and like them; then again, you may not!

    I just wouldn't worry about them and just stick to what you know you like for now while you continue your search for vaping nirvana!

    Hey Keyz! Good to see you!

    Glad you found your sweet spot and are loving it! I finally found mine at 4.3v. For most juice, most of the time. Today, at least. Unless it rains. Or, I've got a head cold. Or drank too much coffee (like this morning).

    I guess that's why VV works so well for me, I'm hard to please, lol!

    It's been quite a PV journey so far, hasn't it?? :)

    Sweet spot is the voltage you set your Buzz at to make the atty, carto or juice you are using perform or taste it's best. You will have many. Many people find 808 cartomizers work best at 4.7 volt. That is their sweet spot for the 808 cartomizer. You said the other day one of your liquid flavors tasted better at a certain voltage level. That is your sweet spot for that juice.

    Save those ones you don't like beause later after your used to all this you'll find if you take a juice that's not that great and add some of the stuff you don't like you might come up with a flavor you like. I did it and it's now one of my favorite mixes.

    Any ideas on a mixer for BWB vanilla?

    No but that is a personal taste thing. I had some tobacco that just wasn't up to my taste so I put some peanut butter in it, which I don't vape, and the result was great. I love it. I started vaping all those sweet flavors but now I don't like them anymore. I pretty much only vape tobacco flavors now. Taste changes after you vape for awhile. I bet if you took alittle tobacco, just a ml. or so, and added that vanilla to it you would like it. Don't mix too much and add the 2nd flavor slowly and keep trying it as you go.

    What MG is the Vanilla? and how much do you have? maybe we can do a trade. I got a 30ml. bottle of Wowboy 36mg. with a couple drops out that I used to taste. I don't like that much.

    I leave mixing to the experts like Tasty Vapors , I am very picky I do not like the sweet flavors at all

    Thank you for that. Glad to see I'm not alone on the "sweet" thing. It's hard to find vapes that aren't sweet other than some tobaccos.Sometimes I get sick of them. My BWB Expresso is about my only standby. Very tasty and not sweet.

    It's just a small 10 ml bottle, 12 mg. OMG you vape 36 mg juice?? Way too high for me. My tops is 26. I'll try adding some tobacco and see how that works. Now I wonder if Pumpkin Spice will work with tobacco. Should have my head examined for getting juices I know I won't like as in too sweet.
