Help fixing an off flavored mix

New to DIY mixing and I like Blueberry Cream juice. the best one I found was Charlie's Chalk Dust Head Bangin Boogie. Anyway, before I received my first flavor order, I took a recipe I found online to the local m&p. The recipe was all TFA at the following percentages
10% Blueberry
1.5% Bavarian Cream
3% Sweet Cream
1% Cotton Candy
The m&p said they had all the TFA flavors and made 60mls, 60% VG at 6% NIC.
We both sampled it before bottling it up. I was using my Mutation Xv4 on a Sig 150TC at 45-50 watts.
I tasted ok, certainly not comparable to Head Bangin Boogie, but would work.
I took the mix home, shaking, hot bath and put it in the cabinet for a week or so to age.
When I finally sampled it, I about gagged. Totally tastes like "Puke". I say that literally. It is like the aftertaste from throwing up. I have read some about DX flavorings and the Butric Acid used to replace the Diacetyl. DX may have been used for the Bavarian Cream but I did not think 1.5% of a TFA flavoring would cause this. maybe I am just oversensitive to the BA.
Does anyone have any suggestions of a possible fix for this bottle other than flushing it down the drain? I would rather not waste it but will not vape it as it.
I did read HIC's recipe for Mellow Vanilla and how it is great to keep on hand for fixing failed recipes, still waiting on Marshmallow though. I guess I could try that but wanted to get some feedback before I do. last thing I want is to keep adding percentages of that only to find out I am just wasting flavors.
Any help would be appreciated

That's exactly how it would taste to me, too - more from 3% Sweet Cream than the 1.5% Bavarian. Some other people would taste that and find it delicious. Not everyone has the same tolerance for butryric acid. As for a fix, *adding* stuff to a mix with that barf flavor won't make it go away. You could try taking a bit of this mix, dilute to about half-strength, and see if the barf is gone. If so, you could then add more blueberry.
