I had a black cherry once that tasted like vaping a kids perfume, then there was a raspberry that tasted so much like chemicals I had to brush my teeth and gargle to get the rancid chemical taste out of my mouth.....tossed 'em both. Had several tobacco flavors that tasted like bubblegum, which I hate. There is one vendor that I was infatuated with for a few months, then noticed that all the flavors I had bought started to taste like candle wax......they will never be used again.

Back in my early days of vaping, before I got my feet wet with online vendors, I picked up a bottle of "Wilde Leafe" from a local ecig shop. The reason that I picked it up was because the scruffy dude behind the counter kept saying things like "I'm really diggin' this Wild Leaf", and "this is the best I've had"...

I got home, dripped some, and gagged. It tasted like cheap cologne. Horrid. The worst I ever tasted by far. I went back to the store and told them that it tasted like the cologne a pimp would splash on before making his rounds, and that it was absolutely the worst vape I ever had. The guy behind the counter who was "diggin' this Wilde Leafe" looked offended at my opinion, and wandered into the back room.

As soon as the hipster went into the back, the guy at the register said, "that was his custom blend", while he gave me my money back. :blink:

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.

Redwings? Sounds like copyright infringement to me! Maybe the real Red Wings should send a representative to discuss this.

Ive had 3 different kinds of disasters. 1st kind is the place I call Lizard liquid- because like a chameleon, no 2 bottles are ever the same-complete "crap shoot".
2nd was Crap caramel-Oh Man! Talk about bad, and an after taste that i ran to grab mouthwash for!...certainly NOTHING like real caramel (butter,vanilla,sugar,cream) this tasted like burnt spam on top of fried liver and onions!
3rd was B&M Irish Coffee, supposed to be VG, Organic- tasted like the inside of a dirty vacuum bag! (Im guessing) :D Bummed- I wanted to drip into other coffee flavors...

You should get a job writing e-liquid reviews! This one is a classic!

I finally had my first "worst flavor" experience last night ...

Now I LOVE bacon. Anywhere, anytime, I crave bacon the way a fish loves water ...

So I order a bacon-flavored juice on a whim. I won't say which vendor, because they also make my favorite juice of all time ...

IT WAS HORRIBLE ! :shock:

Its the middle of December, but I had to throw open every window and door, and air out the whole place. That eRoll is history, the stench saturated the battery, atomizer, and tank beyond recovery ...

Everything that was exposed to this noxious concoction was immediately rushed to the Dumpster, where it quickly became the dominant smell. The pickup guys are probably cursing me today ...

If you're considering a bacon flavored juice, please ...

DON'T DO IT ! :laugh:

For me it was one I recently put a review up on. Was excited to get a great black friday deal and impatiently waited to receive.... 3 bottles of pure powdered sugar with slight flavor differences.

They were soooo thick too. I now need to rewick some clearos. Maybe stupid sweet is someone's thing, I have no idea but apparently that is what this company was banking on. Now I'm trying to decide whether it would be worth the money to ship and try and trade with someone that might like this overly sweet concoction or just go ahead and throw the $16 away

I can't really contribute without naming vendors because we're talkin $250-$300 in 10ml sizes between the first two I ordered from. One is known for low prices and the other was having an grand opening sale. One... that's one... single juice between them was vapable for me and they haven't improved in a year. However, that single one has turned from light beige to black in that year so wouldn't vape it anyway. What's the point really without naming the vendor? Is it going to help anyone? And, with some juices, the name of the juice says what vendor it is... ie: dragon this or that, etc. Most members here do know that taste is subjective so they know you aren't bashing... well, except extreme fan boys. When I look for a juice to vape or avoid, I find someone with similar taste to my own. Some love the juices from the vendors I would mention... different taste and, obviously in the base they use as its across the board or getting their flavoring from the same places, so I wouldn't buy what they like.

Ohhh yes... All of those NicQ flavors sucked... The lime tasted like lime soap water.

Sent from my Galaxy S 4

Oh yes, NicQ juices... I forgot all about those, not only did the lime frost my iclear16 tank, but I couldn't even wash/burn the putrid flavor out of the coils. Simply nasty stuff, they must have stored the batch of juice in an un-rinsed liquid cascade bottle or something!

My worst used to be my favorite.

My first order from EC Blends I ordered what I called "Wild Berry 20%". It was a mix of 25% Blackberry, 25% Blueberry, 30% Strawberry, and 20% Cuban Gold (or something along those lines as far as the mix goes). I was looking to mimic one of my favorite analogs, Prime Time mixed berry cigarillos. It was only a few days since I had ordered that I had my last analog.

At first I thought I succeeded. It was very flavorful and reminded me a lot of the analogs. But as time went on, and the juice steeped, it just got more and more horrid.

I've still got more than half a 30ml bottle left, and I just can't even stand the smell of it, let alone the taste. It just about makes me ill anymore. I can't bring myself to throw it away since I used to love it, but I can't leave it in my juice box either, so it's sitting zipped up in a ziplock bag on the top shelf of a rarely used closet.

I agree with that. Can't find a decent orange. It's funny how certain flavors can't seem to be replicated into ejuice.

I'd love a good orange too, but I want an orange, not orange candy.

I'm gonna have to look into Jameson's Irish. They make a killer strawberry called Amelia that tastes like fresh strawberries. Maybe they have an orange... Hmm....

You would have to DIY but the closest to real orange I've tried is Vaping Zone's (another carries it too just can't think of name now.. Express in it though) anyway... Mandarin super concentrated flavor. Most of the super concentrates are good. They're alcohol based though so if that's a problem, you just have to let the juice you DIYd sit with the top off for the alcohol to evaporate.
