It's funny how certain juices can bring back a flood of memories - sometimes by the strangest means of association. I have personally experienced two cases quite recently:
The first was when I made up a Peach Yogurt. The first attempt was a bit of a mess, as it was way more peach than yogurt (but it still tasted really good). But I used FA White Peach to buff up the peach. The moment I took the very first puff, I was instantly transported to the first time I vaped that particular flavour: it was just over a year ago, when I didn't know much about vaping and I still had a Twisp pen with a VapeAfrica juice. Specifically, the peach&apricot juice. I vaped it while bass fishing the one day, and that memory somehow ingrained itself properly. Whenever I taste FA White Peach in anything now, I find myself reliving memories of bass fishing on the lake. It's amazing, actually.
The second one is a bit more abstract. I mixed up @KZOR 's Jango juice, which makes use of TFA Sweet & Tart. Before I even mixed the juice though, I smelled the Sweet & Tart concentrate and again - with an instant woosh I was 5 years old again, in our "plaaswinkel" that we had up north in the German part of the Free State. I could smell the lingering fragrance of sweets and candies in the shelves, and I'll be damned if I could even hear the dogs outside.
The mind is a funny thing, and especially so when flavours and fragrances are involved. When one considers that they are the most likely substances to trigger or make you relive memories, this makes vaping an interesting journey through and through.
What are your experiences?
