What TV flavors were delicious without steeping for you?

[SaturnineDenial]

I know that taste is subjective, but with all the discussion of steeping I wondered if there were certain flavors that stuck out as being delicious on arrival and others that always needed development.

For me, these flavors tasted wonderful on Day 1:
Vanilla Custard Waffles
TV Cherry Cola
Ultimate Vanilla
Cafe Macchiato
Plain Waffles
Blue Bulls
Chocolate Banana Walnut
Atomic Cinnacide

I cleaned out the atty between flavor swaps with plain PG until there was no more flavor. The only exception would be Atomic Cinnacide, I'm vaping it right now on a seperate dedicated PV/Atty than. I have other flavors which I am currently steeping for more flavor. If you have not had any "Day 1" vapes, I'm interested to know if you have any flavors that took a week to mature.

grape menthol, peach melba... any of the non cream vapes really. cream vapes will always taste more rounded after a few weeks (choc ban walnut, van custard waffles ) but as i've never had any of mine younger than 7 days from mixing i guess i cant truly say i have any day 1 vapes

I'm sure that once I compare my initial taste notes to the final steeped versions that I too will change my views on vaping TV flavors early. I guess it is just different for me because I've never had a vendor that didn't sell perfumey/chemical or just plain awful tasting liquid before TV. The flavor is wonderful even right out of the bottle for some of them. While others I can definitely tell need steeping by smell alone.

Like it was pointed out earlier to me, even though I enjoy the Bananas Foster right now... I cannot taste the ice cream or rum in it. I also cannot really taste the chocolate or the ice cream in chocolate banana walnut. Though, they are still extremely yummy compared to my previous experiences.

Almost all flavors benefit from atleast a week. . They smooth out, day one they tend to be a bit harsh anything with cream flavor is 3 weeks minimum. After 3 days you'll notice a markable difference. Don't give up on a flavor. I don't judge the flavor till 2 weeks. Did you order them sweetened? I find that a couple drops of the sucralose that geoff also sells will bring out some of the more subtle tastes you would normally miss. It enhances the flavors at least for me

I actually ordered two bottles of the sweetener. A little overkill maybe after I realized how sweet they were. I am truly impressed with the steeping process of the juices. Each day they develop new and interesting scents. I'm mainly vaping AC and the Vanilla Custard Waffles at the moment because I want to enjoy the complexities of the other vapes. The main reason for my inquiry is because I've noticed that the flavors that stand out early on seem to have a lot of flavor strength. I'm looking to see if there is a pattern with certain ingredients. I've noticed that TV has an excellent Banana flavor, a strong coffee flavor, amazing cinnamon, and the waffle flavor is intense even early on. The pattern I've decided is that the simpler notes in the flavors are what will stand out earlier. After I compare these initial stand out flavors reactions to the steeped versions- I will have more information to gauge on what kind of TV CYO combos will work best for my taste buds.

You hit it on the button! Plus your taste buds will change. One week caramel popcorn is the bomb next week coconut cream pie tastes better! Then you have those crap days where no matter what you vape it tastes like "...' as geoff so kindly put it.
I hate those days very frustrating when it happens!

Lol, definitely. I'm glad I ordered enough flavors for variety because it seems like each day I have a new favorite. I haven't singled out any flavors as undesirable yet. Which is a great thing because I cannot say the same for other vendors.
