Hey Mookie, I also wonder if that's the flavor I get from many juices I've tried and hated. But since I don't know for sure I can't pin it down.
Have you been able to compile a list of vendors yet?
Thanks
I am pretty sure it is the taste of TA that I don't like. It tastes nothing like a cig (though they claim it does) - more like grass soaked in vinegar. Many vendors use it and many people love their juices so YVMV.
TA is graded by FEMA as GSFA (generally safe food additive) but not at the highest level which is Pharmacopoeia (USP) grade ingredients. USP additives are the only ones allowed in phamacuticals and inhalers. I know we've been pumping our bodies with all kinds of crap for many years so this doesn't mean much to most people. But I would prefer to stay away from it and start cleaning up my act as much as possible.
Here is a link to a post where I listed some vendors I believe use TA:

I can also add that Halo, NLV, and Mountain Oak Vapors don't us TA.
Deejstuff uses it only in their deejBlend 05 series (regular, cherry, and 3 levels of mentho, Highbrow uses very small amount of TA in our Highbrowbacco-Cigar, Quik Niv uses a tiny bit of TA in all of tobacco flavors, and I'm not sure but Aroma Juice tastes like it uses it also.
Tonight I ordered a large bottle of pg/vg blend of unflavored nic juice without any TA or flavors added. I have heard some like to vape this straight or to tone down juice they don't like very much. Hopefully that will work because this is beyond wasteful and frustrating. It just makes me want a cigarette so bad!
Have you found any you like or others that you don't?
