Now as we all mother fucking know, taste is subjective, WITH THAT BEING SAID, buckle the fuck up because I'm about to learn y'all some of my opinions, in hopes to see if anyone shares similar results.
First, if you don't already know, the majority of flavour is produced by scent, aka them dank olfactory glands. What/where are your olfactory glands? Mother fucker this isn't biology, go dust off your old high school science books and get some knowledge in that dense skull of yours.
Now, I'm still relatively new to the diy game(few months in), but you already know home boy went balls deep like he do every night with that blow up doll. I've accumulated a fair amount of flavourings, and by a fair amount, I mean I've got my bases covered, creams- I got dem, fruits- we out here like Elton John, baked goods- call me Betty Crocker, I'm fairly set for a while with experimenting and what not.
SO, what I've found, is that either I have a fucked up nose, or I just can't retain smell like you crafty bastards, either way, I'm making this post in hopes to help out some new people, really, just stating, that in my opinion, what you smell isn't always what you get.
Examples: (I've selected a few concentrates that stood out to me as not what they seemed at first, good or bad, you'll have to find out.)
Raspberry(sweet) TPA: BOY I swear on what's left of my unshaven nut hair, this smells EXACTLY like ketchup, seriously, take your hand out of your pants, grab the bottle, uncap that sucker, and give it a whiff...I'm waiting... AMIRITE? Of course I am. The beauty of this flavour comes in while you vape it, KETCHUP BE GONE YOU WHORE, what I'm left with is a delicious and delicate undertone of sweet, fresh raspberry, kind enough to take your daughter on a date and get her home by 10 sharp, and you ain't even gotta worry about paying for that date, home boy been working since 3rd grade on daddy's ranch learning all kinds of manners.
Cucumber CAP: Personally, I dig this flavour, while on the nose, it's sharp, almost metallic, you really get that rind undertone, don't believe me? Take the cucumber out of your ass, crack it open, and let the aromas express all over you like uncle bob from last years BBQ... fuck that guy. But what do I smell initially? A cleaning product, which isn't a bad thing, it's almost refreshing. While vaping stag, its light, it's crisp, it's a blast of refreshment. I use this in almost all my fruit based recipes, at small percents, I love the clean mouth feel it gives.
Jalapeño TPA: Let's start off by saying this purchase was a fucking mistake and I refuse to vape it again, not for the reasons you're thinking. On the nose; pickled jalapeños, like the ones you get after a break up and dump on some un-ethnic nachos, you fucking monster. NOW I did two things when I received this flavour, one, I smelled it, fucking obviously, two, I tasted that cunt because I had a sneaky suspicion that this was an oil based concentrate; I'm fucking right, this shit is spicier than a Taco Bell employees asshole, its rotten on the tongue. ¿But how does it vape? really fucking weirdly, it's almost just like a capsaicin concentrate, I hardly get any flavour from the fucker, only a throat burn that I can equate to sucking lucifers dick himself and thats a spicy meatball.
AND LAST BUT NOT FUCKING LEAST FUNNEL CAKE CAP: Fuck. This. Flavour have you ever been so deceived that you wanted to go to church just to wipe the sin off your soul? I have. And if you haven't, let me introduce you to Mr. funnel cake, in all his steamy, shitty, glory. Nose: fucking delicious, smells like a carnival, abortions included. Sweet fried dough, hints of creams, well, more of a creamy scent tying it together. Vaping: God have mercy on your soul if you put this shit into a tank, you might as well just go buy a new tank right after. This shit tastes like ballsack and fryer oil, and that's no joke boys and girls, I haven't a good thing to say about this flavour, it's awful in my opinion, this juice, it's the anomaly. It's the only fucking flavour I can't do, can't get over my first impressions. While I've seen people make awesome sounding recipes with it, I don't have the heart to fucks with it. So rip CAP funnel cake, go fuck someone else's day up.
In conclusion:
If you haven't learned anything from this post, fuck you and re-read it. But my main point here is that taste is so subjective, it's difficult to ridicule/judge someone's recipe ESPECIALLY if you haven't tried it yourself, I've seen a lot of hate recently, bitches know who they are, fuck y'all, eat a bag of dicks. The point is that while something may smell off, or our personal opinions may sound terrible, someone's going to love it, someone loves you, right? Same concept. Funnel cake is a perfect example, I genuinely can't stand it, and that's fine, but I'm not going to shit all over someone's recipe because I hate it, fuck me if I hate something that's my own fault. We have life experiences that force us to associate smells with memories, for me, that fryer oil bull shit reminds me of when I was in the food industry eating ass every night, and I hated it. So that about wraps it up, if you found this post useful/beneficial, that's dope, if you didn't, tell me how much of a waste of life I am, either way, we all can't shit on a recipe because we don't like it. That's not why we're here, that's not why we do this shit.
I was going to call you a goddamned idiot when I saw the ketchup comment. But I fucking stand corrected. Fuck you. Now I can't rub that shit on the inside of my nostrils anymore because all I can smell is ketchup. You greasy fuckin' whore. Eat shit.
>Take the cucumber out of your ass
Boy I've been waiting for someone to drag archer into this bitch

I HAVE BOTH QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS
I think you have actually a hidden talent of finding weird smells were weird smells normal aren't smelled. Fuck CAP Funnel Cake btw.
Taste is indeed subjective, which is probably why I hate 90% of all juice I've ever tried.... and also why the ones I do like and end up buying at a local shop end up getting the boot 3-4 months later because "they just weren't selling well".
Although I buy less juice now that I DIY, but I'm still far from pro at this shit, and certainly can't eat or drink something, then go whip up a juice that tastes just like it the next day.
This post is a thing of beauty. Well played sir. Also, thanks for fucking up TFA Raspberry (Sweet) for me for fucking ever. P.S. - I bought Funnel Calke when first came put like some hyped up junkie getting down on some bath salts, only to discover exactly what you said, it tastes like the bag that used to be full of burger from Five Guys. Fuck that shit.
