I saw a TIL post about how Hershey's chocolate is flavored with butyric acid, which is the same thing that gives vomit its unique taste/smell.
This got me wondering what the worst flavor combinations they have ever made were, either intentionally or completely by accident. I'm talking stuff that makes you gag on the first drag, where you have to immediately rewick and soak your atty in alcohol.
If you have any flavors you tasted but didn't mix yourself, that are extremely gross, feel free to give them an honorable mention. First one that comes to kind is the crab leg flavor from the Bloody Good Waffle YouTube series, pretty entertaining if you like English accents and a guy forcing himself to try the most terrible flavors imaginable.
I'm hoping this will be fun if anyone participates, but also educational in that it will save others from making the same mistakes you might have. Or to help someone make a truly dreadful concoction for someone who really deserves it.
I fell over this recipe :)
I was at my local B&M, trying a few flavors and the owner hands me a tank labeled "VVR" I stupidly screw it on an inhale only to find out it stood for Vicks Vapor Rub... It was his 50/50 blend of menthol additive, which he usually only puts 1-2 drops per bottle if you wanted a custom menthol. It was like inhaling dry ice.
Why would you blindside your customers with that?!
I've been going in there for nearly a year, multiple times a week, me and my roommate are friends with everyone in there so we just fuck around with everyone
Mountain Do (not even spelled Dew) from Vape Mall is one of the nastiest juices I have ever had. When you first inhale it tastes like an odd lemonade, but then you get a gross, funky exhale taste that is so awful I can't describe it. And, they use some really shitty ingredients because if you let it sit the oil or flavoring floats to the top.
And I'll tell you vaping straight flavor is awful.
That's definitely a toss up between squid, cured ham and fucking bone marrow. And the minimum order quantity is 500 PCs, so that's 5000 ml. So that's 5 liters of bone marrow eliquid.
I'm was wondering about the SCOPEX flavor. Searching google I found that its the name of a fishing bait and the name of a medicine for nausea. I am guessing this flavor is based on the bait. Which funny enough, is actually just butyric acid, the same flavoring that inspired me to start this post in the first place. What are the odds!
MBV Thug Juice. Now, I know lots of people love this juice, but taste is subjective. I can't stand it. The smell made me physically sick. After cleaning my tank my hands smelled for what seemed like days. By far and away the worst juice I have ever had.
"Hershey's chocolate is flavored with butyric acid, which is the same thing that gives vomit its unique taste/smell."
No! Really. I always disliked Hersheys chocolate because to me it tasted just like vomit. Now I know I'm not totally insane.
FW Captain Cereal at any %. I was hopeful for a Capn Crunch flavor less the crunchberries. It smells dead on but it tastes like spoiled fish or something equally offensive. I usually get a small sampler of a flavor I haven't tried first but I got excited and ordered 30 ml of it. It will probably go in the box of bad purchases next to the Fogger.
really? it tasted like strait captain crunch to me with no crunch berries. idk maybe you got a bad batch? i mixed in a few fruit flavors to make it like the cereal. crunch berries and all. pretty good if you ask me. so what is your favorite captain crunch flavor then?
Tfa caramel cappuccino if you use anything other than 2 drop per 10ml taste liked sinjed pube hair and burnt toast
Pina Colada from LiQuid should get a mention. Here's what I said a month ago:
> I still have a few bottles of the stuff lying around; I bought like, five of them when I placed my order with LiQuid. "Pina Colada? A sweet drink made with pineapple, coconut and rum? That sounds like something I'd enjoy!" I thought.
> I was so wrong. It was a horribly bitter, tart taste that I just couldn't enjoy. Like if you took a pina colada, removed all the sweetness from the pineapple and rum flavours, and replaced it with pure hate. I can't even taste any coconut. I have no idea how this even made it into their production line. I tried adding some ethyl maltol to sweeten it up, but it just couldn't be saved.
I tried to recreate a peanut butter cup recipe I saw on here. The recipe calls for 8% TFA Peanut Butter, and I only had Capella. I learned that day that Capella's peanut butter is a lot stronger than TFA's apparently.
I replaced the cotton in my RDA, but failed to rinse out the RDA. It still tasted like peanut butter.
When I first started DIY I bought some flavors from MBV and one of them was peach. It is by far the most potent flavor I have in my arsenal. 2 drops per 15ml is all you need. The first recipe I made with it was red vs blue, which calls for 5% peach. You couldn't even taste the strawberry or blueberry.
There's a local shop who sells a juice called angel dust, he claims it's a mix of lemon, blueberry, raspberries, and a few other fruity flavors. It tastes like cat piss in a dripper, absolutely disgusting, he claims it's his best selling juice. Maybe in a clearo? I tried diluting it, I mixed it with some other flavors, NOTHING WORKED. Just some bad stuff man.
On an order from MBV- I put Morning Vape in my basket at 30 mil and 12 mg Nic in a 50/50 base. Have been sitting for months (So it's about as steeped as it is going to get) I still have about 25 mils left. Usually love premixed MBV but this one is horrible. Can't describe the flavor besides like vaping dirty socks soaked in starbucks coffee. Taste is subjective but holy crap!!
I made my first e-juice yesterday. I think it was one of the more foul things I've ever vaped.
was trying to make 5mls of juice.
.5 ml 60mg/ml nic (PG Base)
1.0ml of PG
2.5ml of VG
waffle - .5ml
whipped cream - .25ml
maple syrup -.25 ml
.... and then I decided to add cinnamon... I put about .05 ml of cinnamon flavor and it ruined everything. I shook it vigorously for a few minutes and smelt it and it smelt like mainly cinnamon.
I tried vaping it on fresh cotton.... and I felt like I was inhaling harsh and hot cinnamon dust. it ruined everything and the cinnamon flavor still stayed on the coils after burning off and cleaning the coils and replacing the cotton.
Worst I've ever bought: a local B&M's house liquids, called "Arabian Nights". It was supposed to be a darker tobacco blend: being a new vaper at the time (and not knowing about that whole "try before you buy" thing), I bought a 10ml bottle. Got home, vaped about two puffs and almost threw up.
You know that weird spicy patchouli perfume (ie, every Leftover Salmon concert ever)? Yeah, it smelled and tasted exactly like it. Absolutely nauseating and I have no idea who would ever enjoy it. I still have that little bottle around somewhere, I keep meaning to play a prank on a friend but I can't bring myself to be that mean to someone I like.
I literally just started DIY'ing a couple days ago, but have thus far managed to create only one truly awful flavor. I thought mixing TFA's French Toast and Boysenberry flavors would make a nice Denny's-esque breakfast flavor. WRONG. It tasted like cheap old lady perfume. Like a slightly fruity Jean Nate or something. I had to boil that bottle to get the smell out.
...and that was when the lightbulb went off and I realized I should start off by just going with a couple posted recipes first until I gain a little more experience. ;)
