"I sometimes get a flavor of dry skin, and it somehow hits a place with me"

Never mind. I shouldn't have bit (pun sorta intended)

One thing I think is interesting is how I can taste a juice that can be rather funky and yet something will pull me into the flavor.
For me, mostly on disposable e-cigs, I sometimes get a flavor of dry skin, and it somehow hits a place with me. I believe it's because since the day I was born, if I needed to teeth or was nervous, I would chew on my own skin. I just could never stand tasting the plastic in pacifiers, or anything like that (as a baby, I not once used one). Getting a little older, as a toddler or before school, I would chew on the skin on my wrists.
It was like the only thing that didn't taste bitter to me. Needless to say, I didn't really teeth a lot on anything as a child (you can't very well bite on your skin all day before it starts to get a little sore), so I actually had a great set of teeth come in, perfectly straight. But the taste and scent of skin just stuck with me, it's a taste or smell that I don't think I'll ever forget. And I taste that almost exact taste in some disposabe e-cigs - I think it has a little to do with the polyfil, but I'm not sure, it may just be the bitterness of the artificial tobaccos.
Anyway, reason I typed all that, anyone here have any bizarre flavors that have gotten from an e-juice, in small or big amounts, that somehow kept them to the juice, something they weirdly enjoyed? You see people describe juices that taste like urine, perfume, fish, ...., burnt hair, and a plathora of other things... just wondering if anyone's came across a weird note to their juice where they're like, "Yeah, wow, this actually tastes like pee, but hmm... there's something about it that I actually like..."
Dude, you post stuff like this on purpose?
self edit.

I had a friend who loved the smell of gasoline...but she at least refrained from trying to smoke it...
Seriously, ya'll don't think a lot of those gas station e-cigs out there taste like dry skin? Some of flavors in those things, to me, taste just like dry skin in a way (along with the artificial tobacco)! Everyone here's had like a dry finger they've put in their mouth or something, and I taste those things in some of those disposable vapes - it's something about artificial tobaccos being vaped on carto polyfil. There's a tinge of it. Yet in that specific set-up, it something I actually enjoy. I'll vape it and it's like "Geez, that's odd..." but I can sense that it's organic enough of a taste where I'm then like "Ok, I wouldn't my tasting that it again, it's not a bad taste, doesn't taste too chemical-like."
I just figure someone here would have an odd flavor they yet enjoy. I've gotten sort of a lavender flavor from a juice once, if someone loves lavender, I'd think it'd be good to them - I tried a lavender flavored soda pop once and it tasted just like soap lol. I like Marlboro Southern Cuts because they literally taste like leatherhide, like authentic saddle leather, and who'd ever think that tastes good, but it does, especially because I was surrounded by that type of thing growing up. I don't know, was just asking, it's not a big deal.
Or maybe there's a juice out there that gives a taste that, in some sort of unique aspect, reminds one of a former lover or family member or whatever. I've actually had that happen. I literally vaped a juice once that had just some unexplainable aspect that tasted like someone smelled. It's the most bizarre thing. But to me, it's happened. I've heard of someone on this forum that specifically said a juice they were vaping had a urine factor, but that something about it kept drawing them back. Not to mention that I've seen hundreds of documentaries about people who've eaten and sniffed anything from gas, urine, rocks, nail polish, nail files, hair, just the craziest stuff.
I mean, another nervous habit I have is I'll bite the hair off my arm, either that, or I'll chew on the looser skin. It's not the craziest thing out there, and sure isn't the unhealthiest. People do worse in bed. It really takes a lot to get me nervous to that point though. But dry skin is actually one of those odd flavors I've gotten from either cartos or cheap tobacco juices (can't figure out the source) and I actually don't mind it. It's a note that sort of draws me in. If I could have that luxery with tanks and stuff, I'd be set, but they tend to taste more like wall insulation and I just can't take it, a little too acidic for me.

I normally vape fruity flavors nowadays... in fact, my current all day vape is Ice Strawberry Kiwi from a local vape shop, it's wonderful! However, every once in a while I get a craving for a nice, dry tobacco flavor. I'm not exactly sure why, but I once craved it and had none, and I almost had a panic attack for three days until I got some in the mail. Normally I consider them gross, but I have a few bottles stashed away for those oddball occasions.
Be careful my friend, the human stomach can't digest hair.
No... but it is up there.

Have to admit, it's not exactly the first thing that comes to mind...
Now THIS experience I've had. Had a juice once that tasted just like my "mother-in-law"'s perfume. I can tell when she's been visiting when I get home from work (sig other works at home) because the fragrance lingers in the space she occupied. Pitched that juice straight away.
Some things I'd really. just. rather. not. know about....*thinks about happy place*

You know, when I first read this I thought it was pretty weird
Now, this just got me more curious so I did what I normally do when that happens. I Googled.
I found dermatophagia, which is a fancy name for "sufferers chew their skin out of compulsion, and can do so on a variety of places on their body". There is also a connection to hair biting and eating.
And I don't think it's all that rare. I read in another article that around 1% of the population will exhibit some form of this behavior in their lifetime. I would imagine nail and cuticle biting is probably in this category too, but that's just my opinion.
Now that's just way too much information

GoodNews! - amateur neurologists are amateur neurologists, and their speculations are worth what they cost you, obviously.
But I'm almost struck that you might have some degree of synesthesia, or something. Not that that is in any way a bad thing, but it might account for you perceiving tastes that most of us can't detect.

How crazy (though admittedly unlikely) would it be that after all this... After a full one billion words, all the threads started or intruded upon, all the badgering, cajoling, bickering and bashing. what if, just what if... after...all...of...this... Turns out everything Goodnews vapes actually DOES taste like burned monkey .... hair, with asbestos undertones. Could Generic Mutant have actually stumbled the answer to your/our problem??? And taking it a step further, what if something in cheap ce4 testers actually CURES this condition?? I mean, really, what IF??
Dare to dream kids. That's all I can say. Dare to dream.

I know ... too cool!
But I thought the hair thing was covered in post #28.
So many times we've posted something about ourselves and we find that we're just a little bit happier in life when we learn that we weren't "the only one."
How rarely does someone post something strange only to find that you "ARE the only one."
Awkward!!!!

'Classic' synaesthesia (that's how we spell it, anyhow) is fascinating - there's a really good documentary out there called "Derek Tastes of Ear Wax", if you can find it give it a watch.
But my understanding is that it's an extremely varied and complex phenomenon, involving neurological cross-talk between different areas that 'normally' interact less. The classic form, in which one sense directly stimulates another sense, isn't the only one.
I don't know that much about it. But it strikes me that some of the quite poetic / evocative and unusual descriptions and memory associations that GoodNews! seems to have with different flavours have a parallel at least with the synaesthetic experience.

You actually see a cross of senses quite a bit in the autistic spectrum. I know I had a student that saw music in colors when he heard it. But once again you in effect have something crosswired.
I didn't know that.
Wiki says it's *really* common - up to 1 in 23 people, depending on how you're defining it.
