Geoff here, formerly of Tasty Vapor

[Mr.TastyVapor]

So yeah, introductions. I'm Geoff. I started the company Tasty Vapor back in late 2009 and became official in Jan 2010. We were one of the first makers of liquid in the country and for a good 5 or so years, we were tantamount to being the Willy Wonka of the industry. Grew my company, got active in all the advocacy, became a officer with SFATA. Did all I could. In the end it was Covid that impacted my business and local legislation that forced us out of business in 2020.


I still mix for people who ask, but it's definitely on the down-low now. Lol. I've been reduced to selling out of a dirty trenchcoat on a street corner. Lol. Not really so dramatic. But I'm still happy to do people favors that ask.

Welcome to VU!

Sorry you lost your business. Most vape businesses have gone by the wayside unfortunately.

If you have any recipes you care to share that would be cool. If not, that's cool too.

Sharing recipes, that'd be a big nope. Sorry. I still mix for people who ask and never give trade information out whether I'm an active company or not.

Hello Geoff, I was a long time customer at Tasty Vapor and was sorry you had to close.
I used Kretek flavor from your store and loved it. Just wondering if you can make that for me?
I stocked up before you closed but now down to the last bottle. I made it last by keeping it in fridge, rationing to a few drops per fill and surprisingly it still tastes good.
Thanks

Damn, you picked one of the few that I CAN'T make now. Any of those tobacco flavors, used a tobacco flavoring that we made from actual tobacco leaves macerated in propylene glycol for like 3 months. If I tried making that, I'd have to use an artificial "tobacco" component. I'm sure I whip something "similar" up, but it wouldn't taste the same.

If you wouldn't mind giving it a go I'd appreciate it Geoff. It was the closest match to Djarum Specials that I tried, most others clove flavor taste terrible in comparison.
Thanks
