Howdy! I'm trying to put together a list of flavors with nonsensical names for a special Flavor of the Week thread/Noted episode.
It's easy to identify a bunch of, say, orange flavors to try... go anywhere you get flavors and type "orange" into the search bar. If you want to expand that, maybe try "tangerine," too. But that might not catch FW Ecto Cooler, despite it being an orange flavor. Maybe that's a bad example, though, since Hi-C really did think people would want to drink Slimer's slime back in the day, and if you're as old as I am, you might recall that being orange-flavored for whatever reason.
I'm looking to compile a list of flavors with names that are absolute nonsense. Names that utterly fail to tell you anything useful about what the bottle might actually contain.
Names like German Flavors' F.U.C.K. (yep, that's a real flavor). Or INW's Voo Doo and Garden of Eden. FA's Ozone and Summer Clouds. FW's Unicorn Vomit and Reindeer Poop. I think you get the idea now. Will you take a minute to help put together this list by commenting any nonsense-named flavors you know?
Inawera
Voo Doo
Cake Emperor
Nutty Princess
Gentleman
Horny Banana
Lime Monster
Mellow Sunset
Blue Dwarf
Garden of Eden
Sunlight
Mississippi
Pink Panther
Purple Rain
Summer Feelings
Airwaves
Miss Cream
Pyramid
Pharoah
Rumble Crumble
Amaze Me
Green Joy
American Dream
Fresh Puff
Purple Blush
Samba Drome
This is a very good list. Some of these things I can say don't quite fit, because Horny Banana is clearly some kind of banana thing (not sure I want to know what's got it all hot and bothered) and Lime Monster, well, it's something limey and probably not in the slang for Brit sense. Airwaves, that's a real thing over in Europe, it's a type of gum. Not utter nonsense.
But most of them are definitely what I'm talking about. Voo Doo? Purple Rain? Amaze Me? Samba Drome?
WTF, INW.
True enough, didn't know about airwaves being a gum
Why no add Godfather?
Flavorwest
Scooby drink
Ecto Cooler
Beetle Juice
Big Stick
Boom!
Bubba's Pig Sap
Cloud 9
Double Dutch Twister
Green Engine
Happy Hour
Monkey Fart
Moose Milk
Red White and Blue
Tiki Roar
Unicorn Vomit
The name "Bubba's Pig Sap" is supposed to make someone want to buy that flavor. Just let that sink in for a minute.
> The name "Bubba's Pig Sap" is supposed to make someone want to buy that flavor
True. But now think of some of the names that people give their recipes/juices and is supposed to make someone want to mix/vape that liquid. :/
Does anyone know if FW Double Dutch Twister tastes like chocolate icing? Emily mentioned FW Double Dutch Chocolate tasting like that in the Icing episode of Noted- I looked it up and all I could find was FW Dbl Dutch Twister. Did she misremember the name or are they different?

Theres probably more honestly, FA has some crazy names
Cowboy blend is an obvious reference to Marlboro; Perique is a cultivar of tobacco, as is Virginia; Ylang ylang is a flower.
Some of those a person might easily, reasonably assume or guess correctly to be a tobacco flavor. But yeah, that’s some nonsense names right there. Monsoon had better be wetter than Cactus or I’ll be pissed. Thanks for these.
Flavorart
Glory, hypnotic myst, labyrinth, mad mix, metaphor, monsoon, ozone, reggae night, rhapsody, storm, summer clouds, and zen garden
Left out the weird tobacco names cus I have no idea if they give a hint towards what they are. Also the wizard/modifier stuff as well as the pazzo line.
These are good ones, thank you.
Vape Train
- Love
- English Marmalade (unless english is a flavor...)
- Fairy Floss (the bottle is cotton candy, so I am not sure if that is what candy candy is called in Australia)
- Fizzy Sherbet kinda
- Fruit Mix (just really broad)
- Island Dream
- Sahara Tobacco (another one that could just be my ignorance, but not sure what sahara flavoring is)
- Snake Fruit
- USA Tobacco (I want to know what USA flavoring is)
Some of those (Fairy Floss, Fizzy Sherb) are hashtag just Aussie things and Snake Fruit is very much a real fruit, but I didn't know they had a flavor called "Island Dream." That and "Love" fit perfectly into the category of nonsense named flavors. Thank you for this and especially for bringing Island Dream to my attention.
How about these:
VTA Sweet Mate
Sasami Vampire Bite
Molinberry Dr. Beat
Molinberry Indulge
Molinberry Stranger Things
Molinberry Ugly Delicious
OSDIY Lucky Shot
Yep, those are good ones. I guess it might be reasonably safe to assume Dr. Beat is a Dr. Pepper knock off but wtf, Stranger Things? I wonder if Netflix has sent them an S&D over that one yet
Heres the rest
SC - red energy/island flavoring
VT - love/sweet musk
LB - Pacific cooler
MB - attitude, boom, indulge, shock, skitta, twister, and winnie
Cap - sweet blend
Tfa - hpno type/rainbow drop (lucky leprechaun/silly rabbit) < not sure if these count
JF - sweet woodruff, tropic, forest mix
Fe and real flavors had none...
Ooo, LA, WF, and NF had none that I could find
I can tell you what some of those are supposed to be (a few of them are real things) if you're interested, and might be able to guess what a couple more are. But some of them are exactly the kind of nonsense I was looking for -- thanks for pointing out SC Island and MB Twister, those are couple I wasn't aware of that definitely fit the bill.
Hey I did have a question I swear I remember you highly recommending inw brown sugar and saying it wasnt brown sugar though. Cant find the episode it was in though, what does it taste like again?
It's time to throw my hat into the ring . . .
I tried to avoid duplicating things.
Also ignored Tobacco flavors, because they could be a group all by themselves.
Here's the rest.

Well some I think are nonsense in the US but not in UK or vice versa - so bounty is a well known candy bar coconut flavour inside covered in chocolate . Dv's names are often to hide brand names hence vimtage hides the brand name Vimto ,Jack black hides (?) The brand name Blackjacks , love hearts and refreshers are names of candies in the uk
Interesting to note that CAP, FLV and TFA don't do nonsense.
Flavour Art has some pretty weird ones-Black Fire, Cocoon, Desert Ship Blend, Glory, Hypnotic Mist, Joy, Labyrinth, Magic Mask, Ozone, Rhapsody, Reggae Nights, Storm, Summer Clouds, Zen Garden.
If Reggae Nights doesn’t taste like weed (it doesn’t really, but it does taste like maybe it’s probably supposed to), nothing makes sense anymore. But what could you possibly assume about a flavor from a name like “Cocoon?” Or “Rhapsody?” Absolute nonsense.
on a side note and, since you mentioned German flavors, does anyone know where I can get their flavorings here in the states? There's a couple flavors of theirs I really love. I tried googling 'German flavors' but, as you can imagine, I came up with a whole bunch of stuff that wasn't applicable.
Thanks in advance.
Liquid Barn - Pacific Cooler, Baker's Touch
Flavor Shack - Bloody Vape, Lava Flow, Mr. Good Stuff, Blood Jag, Crime Scene, Nutty Hopscotch, Metro Man, Ecstasy, Holy Po-Po, Killa Blonde, Jag juice, Interstellar, Papa Smurf, Snack Venom.
OSDIY - Blue note, Cacti Cooler
Real Flavors - Baja, Elephant Ear
I’m surprised I can’t see anybody mention the most obvious flavour with the stupidest name- INW Yes, We Cheesecake!
I guess it’s not totally nonsensical as it has cheesecake in the name- but it is at the same time.
Maybe it’s been discussed enough on Noted? It’s a great idea for an episode. I always avoid those types of flavours cos I don’t know what they are.
Father's Milk by Twisted Flavors wins. I bet you wanna taste it.
Personally, i don't think funny or non-descriptive names are bad. I'm pretty sure much more people are searching now what that FUCK, vomit and poop taste like, than if those were just simple boring 'orange' named. And they also mention those names / what they are vaping to their friends more. :)
What about our recipes names? Do they have nonsense names as well when not descriptive? Because they also 'utterly fail to tell you anything useful about what the recipe might actually contain'. :)
Personally i have much more troubles with names that are promising something in their name, but delivering something else. Like some promising crust or pie or muffin but there's no crust or pie or muffin in there. Or apricot, but there's cherry in it. Or mango tasting like rotten peach. Or promising natural and then.... Those are much more annoying.
Yeah I'm not really mad at them for having silly names, definitely more amused than mad, I just wanted to be very clear about what I'm looking for. Otherwise people list INW Horny Banana. That's obviously supposed to be some sort of banana flavor. I want to have no clue what something might taste like.
Mom & Pop Vapor Shop's Calipitter Chow. I grabbed 30mL from Chef's and haven't used it (just bought interesting/odd things to fill out an order) . . . I'd be happy to donate a sample for the sake of science.
Hey Mr Rhodes, how are ya? I’m interested in that sample for science. Maybe we could arrange a concentrade?
FA Oba Oba?
Yep, as best I can tell that's not a real thing, even in Italy.
This post is an excellent idea. I do for sure hope you're compiling a list from that information and publish it someday. Here are a few of mine, maybe repetitions:
- FA Desert Ship (Tobacco)
- FA Booster (Tiramisu)
- FA Dark Bean (Coffee)
- FA Mad Mix (Engery Drink/Fruit)
- HS Magic Mix (Rasin?)
- FE Captain (Tobacco)
- FE Desert Ship (Tobacco)
solubarome has some classics , partly due to loss in translation i guess - but herbe des druides - penelope - paradise papers - mandala - petit oursine - viktoria luise - bodensee - zeppelin - esperia - piccolo - gokuh - kalamansi - green pirate -just to name a few !!
Many of these are trademark related like candy bars and energy drinks. Some of these are what people call things who don't live in Merica. I don't have much of the nonsense name flavors except FA Joy and Soho. Soho is an analog of Tribeca Tobacco I believe.
VT Fizzy Sherbet (pronounced sher-bert not sher-bit people) I have made some okay juices but nothing I would consider an ADV. I am still missing some of the bones to make the most popular recipes, however.
MB Attitude is a good substitute for things that involve creams or custards like cherries or misc. berries.
Final note, I have no idea what I am talking about... I am only typing to take up space. Good luck everyone on this weeks giveaway!!!
I have some that are made in my country but not exported and dunno if they count as weird names or not.
Madhaze: -Anxiety -Sociopathy -Psycosis -Dementia -Bipolarity -Viciousness
The Pirate Cloud -Parrot Fart -Unicorn's Carnage -Turkish Warrior
Beard e-juice: -Blue Mamba -Milf -Nun Punch -Sex on the beach
Elixir: -Literally all the juices are named after a Greek God lmao
