What percentages of flavouring are you using ,,
following a recipe ?

try playing with your percentages -- also are you steeping and or mixing?
you might want to look at building or getting yourself a magnetic stirrer to reduce the mixing and steeping times.

Okay so your saying those extracts I'm. Buying are from legitimate companies and should taste fine . It is also perfectly fine normal for it to taste horrible right after a slight mix? So you think a nice steep would make it go from nasty to decent? I have some other flavors some vanilla custard , sweet cream Bavarian cream , all tasted horrible
We'll at the moment I tried them all bythem selves . At about 5% taste bad at 15% taste bad just a more powerful bad
yeah -- some flavors need it more than others -- strawberry typically doesn't need much but those milks/creams you mentioned are the ones that need the most mixing / steeping -- a few days atleast if you don't have a mixer -- a couple hours mixing at least if you do have a mixer
Okay so one question guys . From your experience it's perfectly normal for a cream flavor to taste horrible before a good steeping process?
The diy thread has many recipes and a dedicated thread for TFA and most other places.
also recipes and other help.

Many flavours are not that good on their own and need vanillas and creams to help them.
I try not to use the cream and butter flavors since they are not super good for you...
too high of a percentage will just taste terrible especially without steeping, if the percentage is okay they still have that perfume like nasty flavor without appropriate steeping / mixing time.
there is a cotton candy flavor i got once that tasted like burnt plastic when too strong andfreshly mixed -- but after lots of mixing it actually tasted pretty good even though the percentage was a little higher than ideal.

You just have to find a balance you like, those flavors are the same the professionals often use. Most of the flavors aren't great alone you have to find a good mix. The different flavors balance each other out. Try switching up your VG/PG ratios as well and if you are using nicotine try without just to make sure that isn't killing your flavor. Maybe even try some of the VG/PG unflavored and see if what you don't like is coming from that.
TFA flavors are best used in 1-8% range also use a good calculator like ejuiceme up

Maybe Not Horrible. But Not Good before Steeping? Sure.
I also don't think I could Vaper something like Butterscotch without adding a Sweetener like TFA Sucralose.
BTW - I remember one of these threads where the OP said that EVERYTHING they made Taste like Dog Barf. Turns out it was the PG that the OP had. And nothing to do with Steeping or Flavoring Percentages or Nicotine Levels.
So... Have you tried Vaping just an Unflavored mix of your VG|PG?

Vanilla custards are always horrible before steeping. It's hard to nail custard in a vape sometimes they suck after steeping too.
