My local B&M used to allow ya to drip in your own dripper and sample the flavors.
I went in recently, they had a huge ego bank with tags in front of what juice it was supposed to be.
I drip 98% of the time, my wicks are ss mesh, and are a wiz at getting them short free.
I was previously able to taste great e juices I really liked.

I tasted almost all the ejuices with the condom drip tip and everyone of them tasted the same, blah.
I even tried my known flavors and they were not even close to what they taste like, blah..
They were using CE4 attys and charge an arm and leg (price increase) for a 10ml $9+tax
Its most apparent they have mixed up the clearomizers many times thinking a washing could clear out previous flavors..
I purchased what I knew I liked and haven't been back since.
I really like that roar ejuice but in no way shape or form will I pay 10 bucks for a 10ml.
Especially finding a new flavor now since I cannot taste what I am buying..
Its always a gamble online or in the vape shop now, I am loving diy gambling and prices..

Cherry Limeade from apollo, american tobacco from double diamond, Ry4 asian, Ry1, I have a huge list this could go on and on, most green apple, most cherries, most grapes, most water/melons, most oranges, most peach, clove, etc etc..

Top of the list is honey from a company called L smoke, it induced a headache, made me sleepy and I could not get it out my dripper for many washings..
Lsmoke has a decent vanilla and likemarlboro so I figured woohoo lets try it..

One of our local B&M has a pretty extensive line of juices and most of them are quite decent, but two stand out as the absolute worst I've tried (and I've tried my vape-o-death bottle, you know, the one that takes all the 0.5ml left at the bottom of my almost empty bottles!). A cola flavor that tastes (and looks) like the concentrate syrup for a soda fountain) and a sweet cigar one that is nowhere near sweet, nor cigar-like! I actually threw out both bottles as I could not in good conscience even give them away.

The two absolute worse I ever tried are 1.) Chocolate ice cream with nuts, from Dark City Vapor. That's the only juice that actually made me cough and gag. Honestly, it was like trying to vape pure antifreeze. That 30ml went in the trash. 2.) was O' Juleas, by Back Woods Brew. If you enjoy vapeing baby aspirin, that one may be for you!

So far... the worst was Peach Rings by MBV. Imagine a VERY strong peach flavor,but without any sweetness to it whatsoever. None . Throw in some nice undertones of nail polish and you have Peach Rings. Instantly threw out my coil. Took me forever to get its ambiance out of my glass tank, despite the fact the it was only in my tank for about 20 minutes.

5 Pawns Black Flag Fallen, I know it is a preference thing but I had to rewick my coils to get the truffle flavor out.

<Still chuckling over the one that tasted like Raid bug spray.>

Obviously, 5 Pawns isn't aware of Black Flag bug spray... Fallen, what does it have, roach parts in it?? :lol:

In my experience a crappy E-liquid will never "Steep" into something wonderful....I've had some success in pulling the dripper cap off a bottle and allowing the alcohol to evaporate away but I've never steeped a crappy juice golden.

I have to disagree.

You should find my comments in this sub forum on ITCV SL v2.

FOOB for me it was FOWL. Very heavy strawberry soapy/perfume smell And taste. Gave me the dry heaves, really. Took a few hours for the nasty taste to leave me. One positive, it was easy to let it steep, I had not the Slightest desire to taste any more of it.

At about 2 weeks probably 95% of the bad taste/smell was gone but the Strawberry was still Really Strong. (And yes, I had the Flavaboost.) Now, at about 3 weeks it actually tastes pretty good, with none of the bad taste smell. The Strawberry is still pretty strong though.

I doubt I'll reorder it but it won't dissuade me from trying the original SL v1 as I would have thought it would.

I would say it's transformation from what it was to is in 3 weeks is nearly unbelievable.

It is an interesting choice to name a juice. The marketing department must have been napping that day.

No visible bug parts but it did have a coffee bean in it. Perhaps a roach in disguise?

There's a bunch that are just awful, one of the worst for me was Hangsen Storm, smelt horrible and tasted like Marmite .... ughhhhh. The Impulse one they make isn't bad though! Then you have a bunch of tobacco flavours from different vendors that taste like fresh Jalapenos … all obviously using the same concentrate supplier!

Obviously, everyone's opinion will differ. What is gross to my tongue might be delicious to yours.

Just curious what the WORST e-liquid that you've ever tried is. Everyone is willing to talk at length about how good their favorite vendor's e-juice is, I wanna hear about the worst. And don't get into vendor-bashing or anything, just talk about the juice you tried (the vendor it came from too), what you were expecting, why it didn't meet your expectations, considerations. Etc.

For me, it was Epicus Nebula "The General". On first vape, I thought I liked it, but the juice literally made me gag at points. Even the smell alone is enough to upset my stomach. I always thought it had waay too eggy of a smell/taste, and it almost has a "bad milk" sort of taste to me. A friend dripped some on my wick when I wasn't looking and before even taking a puff I smelled the juice on the coil. Re-wicked before even trying it again, it's just a serious no-go for me.

What e-juice makes you wretch?
[HASHTAG]#Hustle[/HASHTAG] by Legit, got it in a Zamplebox. It tastes like a minuscule amount of fruit punch was squeezed out of a old dirty dish rag recently used to clean a shoe....yeah. I looked it up and their "flavor description" is "Tart and Sweet candy" :?:

Mr Good Vape - Pistachio
- Terrible.

P.O.E.T eJuice - Americano Ciambella
- I think this juice was made for beginners who still use eGo's and tanks... The flavor was so intense I got sick.... I steeped it for a month thinking it would settle, since I bought it at VapeRev and typically they carry good stuff, but this was horrid through any dripper - ruined my Kayfun too - took a long time to finally get that rancid flavor out.

Midas Juice - Cinnamon Roll
- I may have had a defective batch, I tasted the cinnamon, but I got this overwhelming flavor of plastic chemicals, the best way to describe it is that it tasted like sucking on a rubber glove. lol. I asked my friend who manufacturers ejuice for some big companies, and he guessed it was actually the nicotine they are using in their ejuice - it was cheap chinese grade nicotine, that was his guess. Granted this was at least 2 years ago, I assume they've improved since then.
