A 2014 count put the number of vape flavors on the market at more than 7,700. Plenty of them are what you would expect, such as Lemon, Pineapple and Blurpleberry. Others are strange enough that you may not know what to make of them. Here are seven from the odd end of the list, counted down.
7. Peanut Butter
Nothing quite copies real peanut butter, but we see no harm in letting juice makers try. There is no such thing as too much of it, as far as we are concerned.
One caution: if you have a peanut allergy, be careful with any Peanut Butter e-juice and check with the manufacturer before you use it.
6. Hot Dog
Chicago-style or New York-style is an old argument, and here it is beside the point, since the hot dog in question is a vape juice. Whether Hot Dog e-liquids really taste like the thing itself, nobody seems able to say for certain. We think they deserve a try all the same.
5. Beer
People tend to either love beer or hate it, so reactions to a Beer e-liquid will split the same way. It does exist as an official flavor. For beer fans that makes it possible to drink one and vape one together.
4. Stoned Smurf
We have no idea what a stoned smurf would taste like, but somebody claims to have worked it out. The answer is marijuana with a touch of blueberry, and oddly enough we agree with that description.
3. Red Bull
The energy drink is said to give you wings, and several e-juice makers have built flavors around it. If you try one of the Red Bull e-liquids, tell us how it went. We would like to know whether the wings showed up.
2. Crab Legs
Tender, buttery crab legs are a treat, and all the more so for anyone who lives far from the coast. Some vendors have turned the dish into an e-juice. Whether the vapor satisfies the way the real thing does is an open question, but you can now vape Crab Legs with a plate of crab legs in front of you.
1. Black Pepper
Most of us have asked for the pepper to be passed at dinner. Few have asked for the pepper-flavored vape juice. Black Pepper is an official flavor, so anyone curious about inhaling peppery vapor can now find out.
