Can relate 100%. I will make 15ml of something, decide that I love it, then make 120ml of it and realize I don't really love it as I thought.

Weird, I'm in exactly the same mood right now. I keep buying concentrates hoping to find that holy grail of mixes to keep me hooked but keep failing. The last mix I couldn't get enough of was Wayne's oatmeal cookie and then vapers tongue kicked in to ruin it for me.

Imo , you get to a point where the whole vaping thing becomes much less exciting then it used to be .

It takes awhile though but do something over and over for long periods of time it's going to happen , just human nature.

We like excitement day in day out and unfortunately life rarely offers that , your just going through the motions .

I believe taking a break and not thinking about it for awhile can give you a fresh perspective .

I'm in the same boat. Even stuff I used to like it's just meh now. It's weird cause I had no problem smoking the same brand cigarettes for ten years lol

You could start with 3% TFA Blackberry as the base and work from there. If you can tame TFA Blackberry at that %, I would think the final product would be delightful.

I also concocted this recipe that really clears up my vape tongue or whatever they call it. And no, I wouldn't attempt to sub out CAP Horchata with TFA version.

Otherwise, if I get bored with my mixes, I have a couple friends who really like to blow their money on "premium" juice and end up not liking some of them. So, I offer them a trade, which ends up with me trying something I would never make, but hey, it's something different for my palette.

If you haven't yet, try changing up your flavor profile. For a long time my flavor profile was a lot of menthol and fruit. To break it up, I switched to dessert flavors. Now I'm in a slump with 480+ml of cream and custard juice that I almost feel like I'm forcing myself through sometimes. It's a cycle.

I have found for me straight fruit flavors for a short time will bring back the interest in multiple flavor juices. I just mix up some strawberry or apple juice without all the added stuff and that usually fixes the problem. Sometimes just taking a break with some straight fruit flavors will give me a new lease on life.

We all need a vacation once in a while and for me doing the fruit flavors accomplish's that for me.

Seasonal shift. Days are getting longer so boredom sets in. Happens every year around this time, not just with DIY.

Set your alarm clock an hour early tomorrow. It makes a difference.

Whenever I start getting to that point I start messing around with completely different flavor profiles than what I'm normally accustomed to. We all love Reddit and ELR, but let's face it...many of the recipes are just riffs on another recipe. Very few things are new, so try to find something that is different than what everyone else is fucking with.

Dabble with some Citrus, mess with some florals. Mix Grapefruit with Zen Garden. Mix Oba Oba with Nangka, etc.

I also sometimes find myself going back to tasty 1 and 2 flavor mixes from time to time. I really love FW Ecto Cooler. I really love Peach/Pineapple. I don't always need decahedralrhodonitechurrocreamynipplescotch all the time. Sometimes simple is better!

Whenever I'm in a slump I tend to revisit my flavors that have been neglected. Sometimes this will lead to new pairings that I enjoy but, equally often, it leads to pairings that I know to avoid in the future. For inspiration, a little research on flavor charts/flavor pairings might be beneficial. [This] (http://nouveauraw.com/raw-recipe-templates-and-development/flavor-prfiles-that-pair-well-in-recipes/) has helped me in the past.

I hit this sometimes. To curb this somewhat I mix exclusively in 15-30ml amounts weekly so that I'm never vaping the same stuff all the time. In addition I set aside around 4 15ml bottles each weekend to do something like that cooking show chopped. I toss 10-15 flavors in a box then blindly pick out 3 to try to make something new with. It's lead to some pretty fun results, if nothing else it helps keep things fresh.

I hadn't created something new I a long while. Then my buddy came over we had a few drinks and randomly made juices. It was fun and both juices came out pretty good, ya they might need some final tweaking but I'm enjoying them so far. Maybe you guys could try that too? With a local fellow tit chucking friend I mean (:

Maybe try a good fruit mix like Wayne's Misty? It has been my ADV for a couple of months now.

I feel for ya. Im in a slump and only been doing this for like 2 weeks lol. Just cant seem to make ANYTHING I like. Its all perfectly vapable, nothing to pour down the sink or anything, but.. its just not tasty.

more of a general response here... but sounds like you need a break or a change in perception. This has happened with every hobby I ever got into. It's pretty natural to want to seek out new stimuli. I think too much obsession over a thing can lead us to feel less excited about it once we come down from that initial high or some of the illusions have been revealed. But I'd be a much less interesting person if I stuck to one just thing and somehow maintained that same level of passion in a single lane forever. Not a big deal. There are plenty of things to be passionate and excited about out there. Mixing is sometimes really fun for me and sometimes it feels like a chore. I think it's easier to not put things like this on a pedestal or expect too much from yourself. Just do stuff and maybe reflect less on whether you're "really into it" or not and appreciate those rare moments when your actions align perfectly with your will and you are genuinely psyched about whatever it is you're engaged in. If I was a doctor I would prescribe you with equanimity towards all your passions and a mega dose of "allow yourself to discover something new".

Here's my suggestion, either buy a premium juice unlike anything you've made on your own, use it til it's gone, then after its gone go back to your DIY flavors and maybe your tastebuds will be impacted by the flavor since you haven't had it in awhile! Either that, or try making something wacky

Drew Estate - Acid Blondie N.E.T. Granted you'll have to wait 4-5 weeks for the extraction but it's totally worth it.

If you have a chance to visit a cigar shop, grab one of these and smell it, yes I'm serious. It'll taste exactly how it smells.

Start mixing it up (no pun intended), use different flavors like cucumber and avacado to challenge yourself.

This is happening to me right now. I've been thinking and buying a few juices from companies I haven't tried yet that I know aren't full of sugar. I want to see if it can help get my creativity going again. Partially inspired to try Placid by Adirondack because of the way I hear that they use pear. I love pear but want to see how they are treating it and maybe Ill get some ideas there on how and what I want to do with pear.

I feel ya there. One thing that helped me out of a recent slump was finding a flavoring that really interested me, was new to me, and testing it out in all sorts of different ways to see what would work. Made it fun again. Another thing that helped was a random flavor challenge lol, I don't necessarily recommend it though. I put all my flavorings in to a randomizer and picked the top 5 to see if I could make something yummy with them.

I have the same issues with cereal.
