Funny that people describe various unpleasant flavors from ejmix. I'd propose the opposite. I can't taste it.

IMO the flavor of the concentrates suspended in ejmix account for the flavor profile.

I've a strain that puts out shatter that tastes like lemon candy. When used with ejmix the hit tastes like lemon candy.

I also have a very dank strain that just stinks. It makes oil that is very unpleasant tasting and the pen mix reflects this.

I can see where you are coming from. I thought it had a plastic taste but my brother didn't get that from it at all. Totally agree on the flavors of the concentrates coming through. Just depends on the concentrates. Last summer I extracted some Obama Kush and it was far from tasty. I winterized and refined it a little further and most of the bad taste was gone. But I guess maybe that's when the flavor of the liquid becomes important? I still have a blob of the O.K. tucked away. Maybe I will see if this new stuff makes it taste better.

I have to disagree Snaps. I spent most of my career in food manufacturing where I dealt a lot with flavors. Different people have different palates and sensitivities. So it may be that some of us are more sensitive to something in it or that you are less so. As an example, some kids truly do gag from all those veggies like broccoli they hate. I know that I have a great mouth for tasting. Despite the fact that I was a pack a day smoker at the time, the R&D people always wanted me on their taste tests because I could pick out subtleties.

With that said, on cost alone EJ as the sole base is useless. I made a batch on Friday. I used only one drop of EJ mix per ml of oil and then added 2 ml of PG and it holds perfectly. 30ml of EJ costs the same as a gallon of PG :-)

But that's what makes America great!

I agree 100% GDad. I have several friends that are chefs and they always value my opinion on their cooking and I have a pretty good palate. Some of us are just more sensitive to different flavors I think.
So lucky me, I'm off today and my kids are back to school. Nothing to do. Terrible problem to have. I just mixed up some puff majic with some of the yucky Obama kush bho I had. Have to go out later and buy another cartomizer. We shall see if the juice flavor masks the flavor of the bho. If it does then I will be truly impressed. The ok tasted like concentrated carrots and dirt.

I did have my EJ Mix flavored by a friend who makes vape juice for a living. If using one you bought, just make sure it is all PG based with no VG.

has anyone in here mixed e juice flavor with the ej mix?

I have. I mix my own nicotine e-juice so I have an assortment of flavors. It wont kill the bad taste but does hide it some. Just be very careful. A little flavor goes a long way. You can always add more but you cant take it back. And too much flavoring is a whole other bad taste all together.

Tested the Obama Kush / PUFF MAJIC combo after work today so I could evaluate it as my first smoke, or vape I guess, of the day. I would have to say it is pretty good. Still has the carrot/dirt flavor from the Obama bho but not as bad as I remember. Tastes more kushy. I definitely wouldn't call it a fail. I think I'm sold on the majic. And to keep the thread on topic, I went 1g concentrates to 3g liquid

IMO QWISO the dry ice hash.

Then turn it into vape fluid.

would everclear work better/just as good?

Everclear is generally prefered by the USA as you can get hold of it easily and there's no real issue if some solvent remains behind as its grain alcohol.

Whereas ISO needs to be fully purged.

In the UK you can't get hold of high enough % grain alcohol other than bio-ethanol which is a fuel lol.
