Salvaging those juice flavors you don't like

[turnippits]

I have an Espresso flavor that tastes like burning plastic. Any takers out there for that one. I don't think you could mix this one with gasoline and make it taste any worse!

mmm gasoline flavour dont think that will catch on but saying that i have seen bacon flavour

I tried mixing some bad juice with other flavors to try to salvage it but it didn't work for me.
Life is too short to vape crap. I just throw the bad stuff out now.

Heh. I tried exactly the same thing and it came out, well, less than satisfactory. Actually it tastes like crap everytime I try to mix and match. Just gave up. Like others have said, lots of bottles of yuck juice sitting around. Guess I should just dump it.

Where is the best place to get DIY liquids?

Wizard Labs

Great idea if the juice isn't horrible, I give mine away to friends and family. Some juice I think sucks another vaper may think is ok.

A word of caution, I mixed two juices together and it made a butter taste, further investigation suggests to me that by doing so I had created the dreaded diacetyl.

I think watermans solution is the most practical.

The best tasting juice I ever had was the remnants of a bunch of different flavors I had. I am kinda sad though, because I can't replicate it now and it's all gone. I also had a really good flavor I had made, I thought I had it written down but apparently not.

The best way I found to salvage any value out of crappy juices is to dump the juice down the toilet, flush 2 twice, than take the bottles, wash and remove label, then save the bottles for when you go DIY juice making. That way you don't have to buy juice bottle when first getting into mixing you own. Try save a really intolerable juice, and most likely wasting good juice till you decide to dump it out.

If you want to see if it will taste good together, smell the two next to each other. A lot of times one will overpower the other but at least you can get a baseline from there. And only mix by the tank so not wasting much if you don't like it

 

[Pathogenius]

And if smelling doesn't work, try a drop of each into water (5ml per drop I heard) and swish it in your mouth and spit it out and experiment that way.

Been combining the remnants of all the liq bottles into one for a bit now, figure one day I'll try it.

You must have mixed with a flavor that already had diacetyl present. You won't end up with diacetyl if it wasn't there to begin with unless you added a yeast or dairy product that organically creates the compound through fermentation.
You apparently got lucky though to replicate a buttery flavor without it.

I had a similar espresso. And, I had a "Alice-in-Vapeland White Rabbit" that was too perfumy/sweet for me. In a atty, I mixed then 50/50 and now have a delicious Mocha. I almost threw both away.

I love mixing Blue raspberry flavours with Ice apple delicious!

Anyone have any ideas for what might be good to mix with Tasty Vapor's Irish Cream? I find I just don't really like it, but I bet I could find something to mix with it that could improve it a bit.

A coffee or a chocolate maybe?

Indeed there was dairy in at least one of the juices involved.

...I can tolerate them...not necessarily enjoy but serve the purpose of nicotine.

I have the same loose standards too!

It does make the 'tolerable' a little easier knowing I'm using up some that stuff

 

[CabinetGuyScott]

Coffee!

Yup, and a dash of caramel just to sweeten the mix.

To those who say bacon makes everything better... I like to add that if the bacon doesn't do it, then caramel will!!!

Dyi time for the op! I dyi now, and find it short work to make ejuice that I enjoy more than premade mixes that cost 10 times as much. There is only one juice producer that I respect, and that is Cory Ruten of DarkSideCreations fame, for several reasons, one of the foremost being the fact that he PROMOTES dyi. Can you imagine it? A juice producer that supports dyi? I can hear great ghetto vendors screaming "blaspheme"!

DIY is certainly in my near future!

In the meantime, I'm enjoying the Mt. Baker Vapor experience (custom blend) and individual flavorings in a bottle. Looks like they have a decent DIY supply offering to get me started when the time comes.

I'm with you both. I rationalize that many times when I was smoking, it really didn't "taste" good, I just smoked because...well, because I smoked.
