    The recommended 2%

    Most pur flavors I’ve used require higher percentages. I’d try bumping it up to 5%. I read that some people get a floral or musty taste from it.

    I doubt that will help it any. It’s not floral or musty . It’s just terrible. I may sft at 5% or throw the bottle as far as I can.

    There came a day that I could not vape vendor juice anymore because it's over flavored. This didn't happen to me gradually. It was just about over night. I had to scramble to remix my DIY's that were also over flavored . LOL, I lived.
    I haven't vaped commercial juice in probably a year. I'm just on a continuing quest to find some recipes I actively like. I'm beginning to wonder whether the very artificiality of the flavors we use is part of my problem. I've never consumed much artificial/processed stuff; maybe my taste buds haven't learned how to handle it. I'm going to try lowering my percentages drastically and simplifying my recipes to see if that helps. (Meanwhile, some of my recipes for the game are crammed with flavors; as I said, it's something I have to work through.)

    Right now I'm bummed I put the PUR Acai in some other recipes.

    Well if they don't taste as good, put like 0.5 of your preferred Acai in them, it could fix the issue. Yes it is disappointing to find a "substandard" flavor but maybe only a small "boost" is needed.

    As good?.? It’s downright terrible. I will try your band-aid though but I’ll go with 2% I think.

    It kind of sounds like the creators of your Acia need to meet at dawn with pistols and eat Acia (Berries? I think so) until they are full, and vape the other Acia until nic sickness occurs.

    I never know what to do with flavors I utterly hate. I mean, I wouldn't give my "Raspberry Éclair" shot to my worst enemy that is how bad it is. I wouldn't want to put them off vaping that is how vile it is.

    IDK maybe we need a "Flavoring Hall of Shame" thread. I have another one shot that told me to mix it at 24%!! Claire something. Good lord, I mixed at 8% and it is STILL too strong and very sweet. Next time I am mixing it at 3%. I have hit that... time I think where my full smell and taste are back (I was really like hoping it would GO away meaning my COVID was mild.) I asked the husband last night if he had uh, sprayed my blankets with Lysol. But no and I had been smelling it since he ever washed them but it was UNUSUALLY strong. He said no.

    Heigh ho less flavor.

    Unfortunately, I bought that açaí when I last ordered from River Supply. I wonder if I'll hate it as much as you do, @FranC.

    At least I bought TFA's version, too.
    The TFA is so good. :thumbs: Hope your tastebuds like that PUR a whole lot more than mine do.

    I mixed up the other recipe and saw I never tried the Honduran I mixed with sweet raspberry and shisha raspberry. It’s not bad at all. Unfortunately I didn’t record which brands of raspberry I used.

    The shisha is most likely INW. guess at the sweet.

    @Blitzdonlife , those sound really good.
    It’s hard to go wrong with caramel butter. I haven’t used it in a recipe that I didn’t like yet.
    That's basically what I'm going to do... (WF) Croissant, caramel and hazelnut (I've been remembering something similar with walnuts, but hazelnut is so much better)
