High Desert Vapes' Cantaloupe. I opened it up and it smelled like straight up nailpolish remover. Ok, let's give it awhile and come back to it. I'd smell it every few weeks - still nailpolish remover. Let it breathe. Shake. Steep some more. After a few months, I decided there's no way it could taste as bad as it smelled. So...I tried it.

Yeah, I now know what vaping nailpolish remover would be like. And it was not good. I'm convinced they added absolutely no flavoring at all.

Appletini. Won't name the vendor. It was great for the first tank...but I think just opening the bottle unleashed some crazy chemical reaction. Two days later it had turned into black licorice on crack! It was such a strong black licorice taste that it gagged me just smelling it. I am not a big fan of black licorice anyway, but I doubt now that I will ever eat another piece of black licorice.

As you can see, he is an insane-looking Asian man:

OMG!!! That guy looks like a total alien. We are going to be actual BFFs, me and him. Lol. Maybe he beamed that juice down from somewhere cool.

Philip Rocke - Creme de la creme.. You can tell theres a lot going on with this one.. But all I get is a super dry coffee /brandy flavor and its just gross. It makes you thirsty it's so dry..
Along the same lines, I thought the genesis line by this guy were all to sweet. Although more tolerable.
And the ANML-Carnage is actually pretty good.

Wasn't real happy with Space Jam - Andromeda either.. It's got a strong fruit flavor which would be fine.. But then PERFUME. yuck

You're one of the only other people that feels the same as I do. Was super hyped based on the description, bought it sort of on impulse/because it was available, and I still have a decent bit left in my 30mL bottle (or is it 60..?) All I get from vaping it, even ~4 months after purchase, is this like alcoholic brandy flavor that I just can't tolerate. Additionally, it has a VERY strange mouth-feel, which makes me believe there's something in it that I shouldn't be inhaling. Either way, it's still collecting dust. Had high hopes considering everyone else I know who tried this really enjoyed it. I'd give it away but I still try it out every now and again to see if it has gotten any better.

Just so ya'll know I was lol-ing quite at work today at the taste descriptions. Soap, burnt tires, vomit, and etc!!! Unfortunately nobody in my office vapes so it is hard to explain. I understood all of them.

I had a run in with my first bottles of juice. Carolina Flavor.

Apple was like rotten peels with nic so harsh that one pull gave me instant vapers tongue.
Cinnamon was like vaping tree bark. Then the vapers tongue. Also funked my first tank.
Caramel was good but funked the heck out of my coils.

Still have the cinnamon on the shelf and I tried to mix the apple with the caramel which led to wet sock and so it was ditched.

Almost gave up until I found my local B&M and then online juices that are budget friendly. I was sick and tired of crappy flavors and losing all my taste almost instantly until I ventured outside of the "gas station" juices.

    Worst was Marlboro generic from Cigabuy. 50 ml for $2.14, I knew it could be bad but what I didn't expect was something that I'm not even sure is safe to throw in the trash, or do I need to take it to a special toxic waste disposal facility. They're still selling it too. Many positive reviews for it, mostly foreign and nonrecent (tip: filter reviews by "Most Recent", you still can't see all of them by any method??). Closest smell is contact cleaner (isopropyl and hexane).

    Of legit flavorings, V2 coffee I couldn't stand, and a full cleaning of the device was needed to get rid of it. I detected some of the same in Hangsen Golden Tobacco and Desert Ship (not their Highway).

    I had a run in with my first bottles of juice. Carolina Flavor.

    They actually have their own chain of shops, although in fairness what I bought was cheaper and looks diff. than what's on their website now. I tried the Tobacco and RY4. The RY4 isn't bad except clearly whoever made it had no idea what RY4 is. The Tobacco was very strong with the flavor I call "old shoe" (actually useful in proportion maybe, but this could be used as flavor concentrate). I once got HotVapes 555 which also tasted mostly of the stuff. Loaned it to a friend whose dog tried to eat it (got sick but recovered or it wouldn't be funny). Couldn't figure out why the dog did that until I realized: they like to chew on old shoes!

    Some other losers (gas station brands?) were Haus and VaporX.
