Taste testing flavors but dilluting in H2O?

[supremekizzle]

Could one get a good idea on how a juice would tast if they dilluted their flavors in water and then tasted the water? Just want to get a good idea on flavoring taste without mixing them. Not sure if the heat changes flavor either. What do you guys think?

I wouldn't think so since flavor doesn't carry as well in vg and pg is somewhat sweet by itself. You might be able to figure out which are stronger or sweeter by doing this but i bet they will taste totally different mixed in pg/vg. I have never tried this though.

I wouldn't call PG sweet or agree that it would "totally" change flavors. It might work in water, but why not use PG and vape it. PG is pretty cheap, VG too. PA suggests whipped cream as well.

Heat definitely can change flavors. Triacetin is supposed to add stability to flavors so you might want to try that. You just can't get away with vaping certain flavors at high watts.

oh wow, I actually do this, but thought it was not a good idea so I just never say anything about it. I guess mainly because its not very useful. I do get a general idea of the flavor. But, vaping brings out much different notes in a flavor. But, it did somewhat guide me when I was looking for a mystery flavor I got in a premixed batch I loved... it was vanilla butter nut
