Why Do DIY juices taste inferior to disposable vapes?

Hello. I am not new to vaping or mixing for that matter, but I have a noob question. I have switched from pre-mixed commercial juices to DIY then went to the disposables over the last few years. I have never had a commercial or DIY juice that has the amount of flavor that Disposable vapes do. I am always disappointed. I have tried many, many different juices, flavorings and devices and nothing ever compares. Does anyone know what either I’m doing wrong, or maybe I haven’t tried the right mod yet. Which mod has the best flavor production and which juice? The best flavor I have been able to get is from a Smoant pasito and Glas basix banana cream pie juice. Oh, and I use Nic salts. Thanks

Hi Tejallen, my experience would be the same: I use various devices, from simple pods to DL powerful ones. Using commercial as well as my DIY juices. My foundings are:

  • the big majority of any DIY recipe cannot compare to much better taste of the famous commercial juices; I have had success with a very few recipes I am using now on a daily basis but I always keep the 2-3 commercials of my preference
  • secondly, disposables: the same here - stronger flavor, especially the “frozen” taste they produce is smth you can’t beat with DIY: it seems they use rather high levels of flavors and using “industrial” flavors/concentrates that we don’t have access to.
    It’s been a puzzle for years now but what can one do: I use 90% of my DIY and from time to time still go buy a favourite disposable…

The majority of the best things in our lives are - not healthy and hazardous.

Taste is subjective.

你好,我真的和你感同身受,我用过很多一次性烟以及成品烟油,我也是水果油的忠实粉丝,但是自从禁止电子烟销售后,我只能尝试DIY或者购买其他人DIY的烟油了,但是目前为止没有一款食谱或者DIY烟油能够让我满意,我现在很怀念我曾经最爱的 The chef‘s brew

“Hi, I totally understand. I’ve used a lot of disposable cigarettes and ready-made e-liquids, and I’m a big fan of fruit-flavored e-liquids. But since the ban on e-cigarettes, I’ve only been able to try DIY or buy homemade e-liquids from others. So far, no recipe or homemade e-liquid has satisfied me. I really miss my favorite, The Chef’s Brew.”

@unace This looks like a good translation, yes? I’m sorry you are having difficulty finding an adequate eJuice for yourself. I think the above post by @Letitia is a good one to follow. Lukeloop has many recipes on our ELR recipe side. I suggest you look through the ones he created for Pods and see if you can find one that works for you.
