um. i liked spiced cidar and i LOVE cinnamon roll. Taste IS subjective. more than likely it really is your taste buds not liking them. When something is wrong with a flavor it's highly unlikely it'd just be a few of them that came out badly. We'd probably all know.
Yes, it is subjective, and tastes change as your taste buds get back into shape. For instance, a few weeks ago I would've ranked pear as one of my favorites, and now it only hits me as so-so. But that aside, there were problems with some perfumey cartos a while back, so it could be that there is a real problem. If that is the case, I'm sure the V4L crew will want to know about it.
On another front, I tried my hand at DIY mixing last night, and what I produced is unvapeable. I have a newfound respect for the folks that know how to do this right ;-)
