Greetings all! Sorry I missed you last week, real life got in the way of having fun. But, I'm back and have already plugged the last Free Friday into the giveaway picker
(https://vapegears.com/giveaway-winner)
and it made a few clicks and some whirring noises and gave me a name.
But that can wait.
What is Free Friday you ask? Simple. Back in 2012 I started to give away free juice every Friday, and it was quickly dubbed "Free Friday" and although I've taken time off now and then, for the most part I try to get here every Friday because it just makes me happy to see other people happy. And for me, that's what it's all about.
The giveaway picker mentioned above makes it really simple to do too. All it takes to "enter to win" is make a comment here. The picker will go through all the comments and pick one at random, and that person (assuming they live in the United States) will get a free box of Gremlin goodies.
This week, the winning name is...
Head on over to GremberryFarms.com and make sure you have an account set up so I know where to send your box of stuff! I'll be sending you a PM in just a few to make sure you see this. :)
As for the rest of you, if YOU want a chance to get a free box of stuff, simply answer this question of the week, or simply say hello. Any comment works (as long as it is within the rules of the DIY forum here! Don't be mean or rude!)
The question of the week is simply...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
What flavor or flavor profile did you think you were going to not like at all, but it turns out you actually loved it? Or at least liked it a lot?

(Thank you u/NitsabKB for this weeks question)
I'll be back next week to let you know who is the lucky chosen one from THIS week. :)
Have a great week all! I look forward to reading your answers. ~ Rich
For me it was TFA Rose Candy. This flavor had to grow on me to use it right.
If you have the chance try my Love Potion No. 9
INW Cactus was a huge surprise. I only bought it to try the infamous Grack, but it's been surprisingly versatile with a lot of other flavors. I didn't expect it to add a juice brightness to practically anything.
Tobacco. The first flavors I tried were RY4 and Flue Cured from Dekang; I loved them intially, but as I continued to vape and participated in communities of people trying to quit, I started to develop a mentality of being fully against tobacco. It wasn't until years later that I would rediscover my love. My friend had a tobacco scented candle that smelled amazing and I reconsidered and started to appreciate the range of flavors that tobacco can produce, like hops and malt with beer. I started to get back into tobacco flavors from there, and while there aren't a ton that I like, the ones that I do I really like. Desert ship is one of my all time faves in terms of a full-on tobacco, but I like stuff like RY4 Double too. Some I'd like to try in the future are the other RY4 options from TPA, SOHO, and maybe a few others. I tend to like the super bright leafy flavors, and stay away from the dark, woody, leathery stuff.
Tfa RY4 Double for sure. I bought it to try and make a tobacco flavor for my father in law. At first I thought it was nasty but for some reason I kept vaping it. I like it, but I'm still looking for the right flavors for a simulated tobacco for him.
Have you tried TFA Red Type Blend? It's not exactly spot on but it has that filthy, earthy, woody taste to it. Not so ashy. 5-6% on its own is good, maybe with FA Bitter Wizard above 50VG but I'd only ever vape it MTL.
Use Fear's Cardinal combo 0.25% FLV Kentucky Blend and 0.75% FLV Red Burley with your Ry4 like in Cardinal. Steep one to two weeks but if planning to steep over three weeks double the Kentucky and Burley. You can thank me later
For me it was honeysuckle. I don't like it in any kind of drink, I don't even care for the smell of the flower but something about this recipe takes me back to when I was four or five years old running around Panama and sucking up the nectar from the flowers. Do I love this flavor or recipe? No. But I do like it a lot and anytime I sit down for a mixing session I make another batch of this. https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/136775#rainforest_by_rockyharlow
Can that one be made ok without the supersweet? I don't like sweeteners in my juice.
This sweet guava is pretty sweet so yes I think you'll be okay.
Banana cream. I know it's a pretty popular profile, but I've never been a fan of real bananas. Vaping banana cream is quite enjoyable though.
Ooo... Honestly Sour Patch Kids from our local shop. I hate sour, and I'm not really a fan of SPK, so the fact that that's one of my favorite fluids is kinda of a shocker.
​
On the other hand, I thought I would like something vanilla or chocolate flavored... not at all. I actually am more fond of fruity flavors.
Mine would have to be any type of custard flavor. I was always so committed to fruit flavors thinking any custard flavors would be gross but now that I have a set up that actually produces great flavor I am absolutely in love with custard flavored juices! Fruit flavors for me get old after a full tank of vaping the same juice but with custard flavors it’s like I’m getting a big ol bite of some bomb pie every hit! All in all I love all types of juice! I’d love to try your box of juice so wish me luck!
