I keep falling off the wagon and revert to stinkies as I have not yet found my "perfect" vaping liquid.  Spent a fortune on 10ml sample etc. but kept seeing reviews for Red Astaire.  For some time T-Juice were out of stock, but now I have some.  Mixed it first at 15%, then 20% but still don't get the flavours I read about.  Shall I try it at 25%?  I have added some sweetener as I like sweet fruity tastes, but still no joy.  Maybe my taste buds are completely shot.  I have some menthol vape which is supposed to clear/clean the palate, but still not getting what I expected from Red Astaire.  HELP, any tips?

No two taste buds are made same. Everyone and each of us has a very special personal view and flavours. What you like and how you perceive one particular flavour is personal and psychological experience. It has more with our memories than tongue and throat.  Some people even don't detect some tones and undertones of complex flavours. Some do detect hints and tones that are actually not there. Not present in original mixture. It is more the factor of experience. memories, psychological treats then actual chemistry. Maybe you just have that unique taste. That may be gift or curse. Depends on  how you take advantage of that.
Sommeliers perception of taste is different than ours. That is the reason, why he or she is sommelier. :-)
As we say at SmokeRainbow; degustibus non est disputantur. You can not argue about taste or flavour.
This world of e-liquid flavours is wonderful once you start to explore it.

Sssssh . . . this is a serious thread jeffc, you'll get me in trouble.


Enough times to know not to do it again.

LOL! Me too Perpetua......it's a bit like vaping really.....each one has different characteristics.......never the same ADM(alldaymate!)

[dinamic22]

I am not keen on RA either

[pebbles]

I gave in and finally ordered some, wish I hadn't, I love it so much I vaped my first 10ml in 3 days where as I normally only vape 2ml per day

[Greg]

I love the stuff and struggling with lots of other flavours, I havent found anything that's comes close and when a new flavour beats me into submission I always return to RA.
I've struggled with tangerine dream and minty the toff for weeks but this morning minty is surprisingly pleasant, all that said I an impatient
Custard,tastes nothing like but I really need to leave it longer, I received 30ml from a member and that's not being touched for another month, then hopefully I'll find the custard love
Best thing about RA, mix it, cup of tea, vape it 

[Perpetua]

Does your Custard look like this Greg . . . if it doesn't then leave it alone, until it's part the way there at least.

De gustibus non est disputandum ....sorry mate ..... is a Latin maxim meaning "In matters of taste, there can be no disputes" (literally, "There is no disputing of tastes") .....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_gustibus_non_est_disputandum

Tell me that's not PVC, Perpetua . The longest I've left mine is a month'ish. Why has it gone like that?

It is indeed PVC stonethecrows . . . it's gone like that because it's some 3 months steeped. Rewarded myself with a dripping session after doing the chores today and it's delish.

Oh no it looks nothing like that, more like a light custardy colour although it has darkened a little since mixed, I used roms recipe. That's most helpful Mandy, I won't use again until it looks like chocolate sauce

Did I say I was impatient I'll press on with my minty

[stonethecrows]

Going to make double now, Perpetua. See what the taste difference is. I've got a black cherry and double choc (black forest) on the go which looks a bit like that.

[annie50]

I loved, really loved RA and mixed my own at 20% flavour.
I vaped it all day every day for weeks, then all of a sudden the inside of my lips started to peel and my mouth was sore.
I had already been through the pg allergy thing and had moved on to mix vg heavy mixes so I know it wasn't that.
I don't know what happened unless I became sensitive to something in the concentrate.
I have tried it again once since this happened and my mouth tingled straight away so I stopped vaping it again.
I will try it again in a few months time and will be really hoping I will be ok with it.

[Perpetua]

Could well be one of the flavours in the concentrate annie50 . . . I get a really sore tongue if I overdo the Cinnamon Danish. Anything that's an atomic type cinnamon, I can't tolerate at all.
