Extra Flavour

[Takshaka]

Which juice makers/vendors have an extra flavour option?

It may be partly down to not finding the right equipment combination yet but my taste buds are definitely struggling after over 20 years of smoking. I have tried a lot of juices and so far, most of them have very weak flavours for me so I am looking for something with a little extra... no... a LOT extra!

i think the main reason you are struggling with flavours is that you have hit the one month mark where your taste buds will go awol... the only thing i could taste around my one month was menthol ...give it a week or two and your taste buds will come back better than ever along with a renewed sense of smell

as for extra flavour options there isnt many as far as i know... they do in the states
vapist vapours i believe do custom mixes and you could ask James at paradise vape he may make some up special for you

Hi Takshaka

Our Virgin Vapor range that we supply comes with extra flavour as standard - im not sure if its a LOT extra but it is extra as opposed to the standard flavour

[Gordy]

alternatively you could buy some flavourings and add a drop or two to the premixes you have

Vapology have an extra flavour option. The juices are gorgeous IMO.

How long do you leave yours to steep from here? I had some delivered from there today (extra strength) and the flavour wasn't strong for me so I will check again in a few days.

It may well be a temporary thing at the 1 month mark, that hadn't occured to me but now I think about it my sense of taste has been even worse than usual!

I have vaped mine straight away as I love the flavours so much, but as they're freshly made, the longer you leave them, the better.

Gordy's suggestion of adding a few drops of extra flavouring yourself is a good idea too, I've done that as well. And I add sweetener to some juices to improve flavour, I like sweet!

[Takshaka]

Yes, adding extra flavouring is a good idea too, I hadn't thought of that, it may be the way to go. I like sweet too... although most caramel flavours have tasted aweful too me (apparently my tastebuds have no problem detecting bad flavour )... what do you use as sweetener?

[Perpetua]

Ethyl Maltol crystals are one thing you could try Takshaka, or a Cotton Candy flavouring . . . the Perfumer's Apprentice do a Brown Sugar flavouring which I find quite good, although I'm not sure if there's a UK stockist of that.

Other than that, Liberty Flights have a brilliant selection of flavourings as well as Ethyl Maltol.

It sounds very much like its your taste buds which is normal for a while after switching to vaping. Even now 1yr on I still get the odd day here and there where I can't taste juice the same. Even extra flavouring may not help.

All my juices are a very decent strength in regards to flavour. I was sick of trying so many the first 6mths of vaping and most were quite weak so I made mine to be a good strength of flavour. I'm also happy to add extra or less on any of mine as they're made to order. Especially if someone has tried some of mine and would prefer a bit more strawberry, a little less biscuit etc etc I'm always happy to adjust to personal requirements, just a note in the notes section at the checkout is needed

thats really great of you Pixie

Your post reminded me that I have a selection of virgin juices that I have only tasted briefly before leaving to steep a while. I loaded up some celestial honeydew and that is something I can taste, not strongly, but at least there is a clear flavour.... and LOADS of vapour

The one thing that puts me off the virgin juices though is that you only have 2 strengths and I generally prefer lower strength (6 mg), especially for sweet flavours that I will want to chain vape! Do you have any plans to offer a bigger range of strengths or maybe just a 0 nic version of each which could be used to dilute the higher strength juice?

I had already placed an order with you before making this post and I see that they are already winging their way to me

Aha! Thank you for your order. With any luck they should be with you tomorrow. I hope they manage to wake your tastebuds up!
