I learned a very valuable lesson this morning.
I stumbled all bleary eyed to my juice station this morning, the first time I did not prep my Vivi Nova tanks the night before. I figured I had plenty of time to do it before work in the morning. Well, I slept horribly last night, and my eyes felt like sandpaper. Without any coffee to perk me up, I proceeded to fill up my tanks. i normally keep one with some fruit flavor, and the other with a bakery concoction to keep me satisfied at work.
You can see where this is going, even if I could not. I topped off my watermelon tank with snickerdoodle, and added fruit punch to my banana foster coffee.
Both were absolutely unvapable.
I managed to get through my day, grumpy, tired, and choked down a few puffs before I decided to call it a loss.

what is your worst accidental concoction? On the flip side, have you discovered any accidental deliciousness?

It wasn't accidental (which makes it even worse)... I tried French Vanilla + Hazelnut + Espresso and for the life of me, that thing tasted like corn. Kicked the volts up and tasted like grilled corn. Even higher, tasted like burnt popcorn! My family thought it was a hilarious flavor.

Getting into DIY, and I was thinking 'burnt popcorn' as missing from one concoction....now if I can only remember which one. I think it was one of the tobacco blends I was playing with...to give it a sort-of stale-tobacco-smoke hint.

Thanks!

Thank you for the laugh empot, lol my boyfriend was doing something at his computer and I started busting out laughing. And read it to him about the corn, I think popcorn would taste good but ick on the burnt popcorn.

Another DIY homebrew gone awry. 30mL of Ry4 with choc hazelnut (awesome, btw) added 10 drops ea of cola and vanilla. Tasted like burned rubber. Don't know how to fix it. Tried diluting with another 20mL of flavorless 32mg and 10mL of vg, no go. Still getting burned rubber taste, yuk!!! Now I'm out 50mL of juice...

wow thats a bummer to have lost that much. Even as a new vaper I would think that you make a 5ml bottle of something to make sure you have a good flavor. I have not messed with mixing yet except for a small amount of left over 18mg in a 5 ml bottle vanilla/butter rum/amaretto it has a buttery vanilla flavor. Not a bad mix. in fact the more I vape it kinda taste like a butter flavor jelly belly jelly bean.

Sounds like you invented another take on RY4 -- RacewaY 4 Burn Rubber!

Wife has a book in the kitchen "how to repair food": ways to recover from mistakes (like when you add too much salt). Wonder if there is any magic way to repair DIY ejuice? Mask it with massive amounts of menthol? Capsasin (hot pepper)? Can it be used as insect repellant? Maybe it is good, but just needs to steep?

I usually do my ejuice testing with one ml at a time. Approx 20 drops/ml. Worst case: you lose one milliliter per goof. And always do the first few tries with 0mg nic (the cheap stuff)
