I am curious. I have just taken the leap into making some of my own juice and as expected, some have come out less than favorable. I am sitting here just staring at them because for one, I am out of bottles and two... it's still nicotine. Do you usually just toss them or what? Save them for emergencies?

Just wondering what y'alls :2c: is.

I send them to my friend, Tim, and challenge him to fix them. LOL OK, I only did that once...because I only tried to make my own juice once. ;) Apparently, I'm no good at it. :( I did "tweak" some juice with extra flavoring recently and over did it a bit, but I'm forcing myself to vape that. Like you said, it's still nic.

I've been thinking something along the same line. I have several partial bottles of juices that I've gotten in PIF trades and many more that I bought in the classifieds. I have not found a single juice from V4L that I like. Funny because it is a very popular site and sells a lot of juice. There are others that I bought from DIY Flavor Shack, all have the extra flavor option. I don't like any of them. Then I have several bottles that I would never vape. Anything with Blueberry, Blackberry etc for example are definitely not for me. I have read so many times that taste is subjective but I can't even bring myself to put them up for PIF. However, I like dark and sweet juices and tobacco flavored juices. I know that taste is very subjective. Do you think that I should PIF these flavors. I know that a lot of people would find my favorite tobacco flavors undesirable. So I think maybe someone else may like these. I don't know. Do you think that I should PIF the juices I really don't like? I tend to PIF only the flavors that I like myself.

Yes you should PIF them!! Don't let juice just sit around unused and unloved!!

HOWEVER. I do have a question because I am also guilty of just putting juice aside and not PIFing it because I don't like it.

How do you tell the difference between juice that just isn't for you, and a 'bad batch' ?? I don't want to PIF a BAD batch but if it's just somethinig that's not for me.... I want someone who will enjoy it to have it.

I think once that question is answered we both can PIF our neglected juices.

LOL I know. How do you know if it's your taste buds or just bad juice. I do find it peculiar though that I have never tried a V4L juice that I like. Not one. So that sort of leads me to believe that it is my taste buds. I just got a few pm's from folks who need juice and would appreciate having it. I plan on sending some of it to them and maybe adding a bottle of vanilla custard flavoring. If you are a fan some of the flavors that I have but they just need a little tweaking, vanilla custard can improve just about any juice. So long as they are in a category of flavors that you like.

Don't throw it away.

If it's too strong or bitter...add sweetener to sweeten it up.

Sometimes you can add a cream flavor that will bring out the other flavors. Sometimes caramel is the one to choose. Sometimes Vanilla really can help a flavor pop. Then there's cinnamon......See, several options and more that i havent mentioned that can fix up that juice.

It really depends on what flavors you have made up.

I end up adding sweetner to alot of juice I just don't like. I also mix and try different combos to try to save them. If they are unvapeable, I dump it and wash the bottle for the next batch. If its just a juice that doesn't suit my taste but someone else may like it, then I put in in my PIF box or give to my sis-n-law since she cannot afford to buy her own juice-I have to buy it for her anyway-so she has no probs taking things I don't like off my hands.

Actually there are a lot of people that feel that way about v4l juices so dont feel bad.
Mine actually gets really diluted with water and gets put on the ant hills LOL
Seems the ants like it, but it does kill them off.
Guess nic isnt good for ants even in small amounts hehehe

Wonder if it would work to spray it on the weeds in my yard? Surely if it kills ants it would kill weeds-right?

Man, I have a whole drawer full of mixes that I made and personally didn't like. Most of them should be 24mg, but I didn't label them at the time and they could be different strengths. I am eventually gonna put some stuff in the garage sale thread. You think I should put these in there too? Like a grab bag full of DIY fails? :)
