What's the worst flavor you're encountered?

submitted about 11 years ago by sxeQ

Not counting shit like crab juice - flavors you enjoy in real life, but just cannot stand in a particular companies flavor.

For me, TFA Papaya and Cantaloupe are disgusting. Nothing I have done to them makes them even remotely vapable.

TFA Holiday Spice - Smells... okay, like artificial egg nog flavoring. Inhaling it is instant nope. One drop will ruin any 10ml mix for me.

Runners up:

TFA Gingerbread - Keep your licorice and clove out of my gingerbread.

TFA Horchata - Red hots, clove and grass.

TFA Blackberry - I can't even put into words why I hate this one. It just isn't right.

FA Pineapple - I may have gotten a bad one. Some people say it's fine, some people say it's gross. Nobody would ever say what I have is fine. It tastes and smells like pineapple, roasted garlic and B.O.

FA Mangosteen - I heard mangosteen were delicious and wanted to try one. FA fruits are pretty realistic. So I ordered it. I don't want to try one anymore.

Give TFA Blackberry a shot at like .3-.5%. I found it ruins juices if it's any higher.

You guys are crazy. Apple, black currant and blackberry (4%) work together amazingly. :)

It's not that it's a bad flavor, but holy shit it's strong.

Will do, lowest I've tried it is 3%. It's just too... cloying, I guess. Not in a sweet way.

i 2nd FA Pineapple after trying this at 5% i now have a fair idea how it would taste to lick a fat mans armpit

Yet some people think there's nothing wrong with it, which makes me think there's something wrong with mine, or something wrong with them.

Curious, where did you get yours? Mine came from RTS.

You and me both. It's not a flavor I recommend to people, and I haven't figured out any recipes that include it yet though. Keep meaning to try it with some cherry.

Tfa honey. It is spectacularly awful

It leaves a lovely room note of cat piss as well. 0/10 would not vape again.

I've found a good recipe:

Tfa honey 10%
Horse semen 2%
Tears of a beaten orphan .3%
Tfa mary jane 3%
Stagnant porta potty juice .6%
Tfa Koolada .1%
Extract of hemorrhoid 2%
Tfa pear 2%

Mixed at the magical 20%, it leaves notes of fresh regret with a lingering aftertaste of loathing. Steep for a month then send to vaperjoe.

can also be used to fend off wild animals

Dude everyone knows you can't run more than .2% of tears of a beaten orphan.

Dear God, it's so disgusting. It was the first and last attempt with TFA honey. I can't even describe how bad it is, but literally turned my stomach.

I actually like TFA papaya a lot, though admittedly I haven't had it on its own (it was at ~6% in a mix with several other flavors).

To answer your question, though, without a doubt the worst I've encountered has to be TFA honey. Didn't notice it at first (protip: don't mix with new flavors/recipes if you have a cold or allergies) but it made my house smell like cat piss for a week, and the taste was no better than the smell.

What mix did you use papaya with?

1 points

by GhotiOuttaDHMOabout 11 years ago

Not the only one I've used papaya in but of them it's my favorite so far. Fair warning though, it is still a work in progress:

> Guatemalan Cocksucker (v0.2)

> * 6% TFA papaya

6% TFA mango
4% TFA coconut extra
2% TFA pineapple
TFA ripe banana (1 drop per 5mL)
MBV(FW?) key lime (1 drop per 5mL)

Steep time helps with this one, bit perfumey at first but after a few days it's pretty decent IMO. Papaya shows through well but the other flavors are strong enough to not be overpowered by it or each other. If it makes a difference, I mixed 5mL at 32PG/68VG and 12mg/mL. Not 100% sure what v0.3 will look like, but some possibilities I'm considering:

dialing all percentages back a tiny bit (same volume of flavor but slightly higher of base/dilutant)
dialing the coconut extra back a little and adding some coconut candy in its stead
adding a touch of menthol or koolada.

Will probably be a couple weeks before I give this another go, so feel free to throw some feedback my way if you try it!

I accidentally got MBV Cinnamon Roll and Hawk Sauce mixed up. Stuck that in an IGO-W2 on 0.2 ohms and took a good drag off of that. Still haven't gotten the taste out of my mouth. I think it tastes like what cancer would taste like.

Chili. Tried some new ejuice producer sample called Enter The Dragon and it tasted like burning paper going down my lungs. Made me cough like a little girl. I tried to burn the juice off my cotton and got some of the vapor in my eye and it made my eye water like crazy. So nice sample. It literally had me there looking like a coughing crying little girl.

Funny thing though. The rest of the juices from that vendor were amazing and will definitely be getting some when they come for sale.

What's wrong with TFA cantaloupe I was looking at buying some

1 points

by sxeQabout 11 years ago

It's awful. Even smelling it gives this awful clove taste. IMO it ruins every juice it's put in, and I haven't found anyone who likes it.

Shrug. I enjoy TFA Cantaloupe greatly. The clove taste and the floral undertone greatly disperse after 4-5 days of steeping (1 day top off).

While there are definitely better Cantaloupe flavors out there, TFA is very useable.

One of my favorite recipes uses loads of it and everyone that has tried it raves about it.

10% Cantaloupe (TFA)
8% Honeydew (TFA)
2% Cotton Candy (TFA)

I also have a Creamy banana melon recipe I use it in regularly.

4% Banana Cream (TFA)
3% Watermelon (TFA)
2% Cantaloupe (TFA)
2% Bavarian Cream (TFA)
2% Whipped Cream (TFA)

I'll mix up both of these and see what happens. I don't have any banana cream though, so I might up the cream %s and use 1 or 2% ripe banana.
