Oh, I've had several that I remember vividly. But the absolute worst was a DIY caramel cappucino. I'd never had it so I mixed it at a fairly standard 10% to try. Gag, choke, eyes bug out, gasp...you get the picture.

Turns out that that particular flavor was known for being 'extremely' strong - the suggested flavoring ratio was one-half of one percent (or two drops per 10mL).

It was completely my own fault but I haven't been able to bring myself to even try a coffee flavor since.

THAT'S EASY!! I read pages & pages of peoples accolades of certain vendors & juices.So I placed about 5 orders only to find out that 4 of the 5 vendors don't allow a choice for PG/VG. I didn't think anything of it because everybody was raving about the stuff.

So I thought I was doing really good I quit smoking and decided I would order all zero nicotine ejuices. To my surprise I have about 35 bottles of juice I can't vape because I am getting zero throat hit. It's like smoking air. Now I learned that zero nicotine lends a huge hand in this situation but if I could have ordered a 80/20 blend perhaps that would have helped.

I ordered a DIY coffee and when it came the air-tight package containing the bottle was full of juice. I noticed the smell was pretty awful but let it sit a few days. When I vaped it it tasted like trash, I mean really like trash. The smell was even worse, so I dumped it in the sink. BIG MISTAKE!!!!! The sink smelled like this horrific juice for a full day even after I threw some drain cleaner in there! Not sure what happened there, bad mix or something.

2. One was a banana nut bread. Should have been called Magilla Gorilla's Armpits. It was so bad I couldn't even eat a real banana for a month. I got over the banana thing by doing DIY and I've tried almost every banana flavoring there is to try. I have NO idea what the heck they used.

The other was a lemon cream thing that tasted like I filled up with cheap ho perfume. Popular vendor too, heck I like most of their stuff. People rave over it too and I just.don't.get.it.

Most of the chinese flavors I got were no good. The coffee and chocolate flavors tasted exactly the same, mostly like plastic, with a tiny hint of coffee and chocolate sorta. The watermelon was really bad too, nothing like watermelon, not even artificial watermelon, an overpowering non-descript fruit flavor.

I never had that problem, what I got had little to no flavor. I actually put a drop on my finger and tasted it. Then, it had flavor! A min later, I was heaving. Moral to the story, if you're going to taste the juice, use something smaller than your finger.

My worst was when I ordered "Boba's Bounty" and "Gorilla Juice" from a vendor that wasn't AVE. I was so excited because it was at the time when the site was down, and I kept reading on the forum that you couldn't get them anywhere; I was so excited to try these juices. When I got the juice in the mail and tried them I didn't think they were that bad. My cousin came over to try them too. He noticed that the bottles were off and we discovered that it was knockoff juice, it had not crossed my mind that this was possible. Even though the juice wasn't that bad I could not keep vaping them, I felt ripped-off and humiliated. Until recently after months had passed since I purchased that juice I threw them away. Those fake juices would mock me every time I opened the cupboard. I just hurt to have thrown 30 dollars down the drain :( lol.

I read many a post of people buying fake boba's from "the other site" which is complete bull**** that they ripped off Alien Vision's wonderful wonderful juice. If you havent gotten around to ordering the real deal yet you owe it to yourself to make the purchase. Its one of the hyped up juices that actually delivers. Gorilla juice on the other hand, while good, specially mixed with boba's, isnt as good. Still not bad though. If you really like bananna's youll go ape**** for it. Pun intended.

Ok now that ive read this thread, I will tell you a story of a liquid that should be used by CIA agents that need to extract information from terrorist. One vape and they will talk, oh they will talk......

Overtime I managed to collect a bunch or bottles by not throwing away a bunch of liquids that werent bad enough to chunk out immediatly, but wernt good enough to get vaped up, or just got pushed aside because I order to much liquid. I decided to try a scientific experiment. I took a 30 ml bottle and mixed together a small bit of about 20 different flavors of very old to somewhat old juices. The smell wasnt to bad. It was deceptive...... It tasted like what I would imagine human waste mixed with vomit and milk mixed in a blender and chugged would taste like.... but worse..... Long story long.... I still have it...... Next friend that wants to try out some new liquid watch out I got a prefilled cart with your name on it :)

Worst one....

A "Kona Coffee" flavor that was supposed to be like Kahlua. I was so excited to try it. However....it tasted like scrambled eggs with Hershey's chocolate syrup mixed in. Oh, and dirt. I even let it steep for like 2 months and the egg/chocolate/dirt flavor just got stronger. I can't bring myself to throw it away, however...it's just sitting in a drawer.......

Scrambled eggs, chocolate and dirt?? Yikes! Maybe we should post the names here! lol

One of the worst flavors I tried was "Redwings" (supposed to taste like redbull) Smells like perfumed candle wax, and tastes like a not so sweet, sweet-tart soaked in shoe polish. Throat hit was like gargling rubbing alcohol.

As a matter of fact, almost all the juices from this particular vendor tastes either like dish soap, perfume or shoe polish. I cant figure out how this company is still in business with so much quality ejuices and products on the market today at a fraction of the price.

So far the worst experience I've had with a juice came from one of my favorite vendors: MBV's Cherry Balsam Tobacco. Even after I let it steep for a month, it's just... bad. It's like vaping a sweet plastic, no taste of tobacco that I could detect, and I had to thoroughly clean out my ProTank to get rid of the flavor. Right into the bin, that one.

Same here. I haven't had a vapor that's really gross, but I did get a waffle flavor that is a little oily feeling, but still ok. I cut it with a peach liquid I had to minimize the oiliness.

Someone mentioned a flavor that is supposed to mimic Apple Jacks cereal, and I'm nervous because I just tried this in a store last night and was very excited to go back and buy it at a later date...
:unsure:
very new to vaping, havent had a bad experience... yet.

after reading this it looks like ill have a really bad experience eventually :/
