Had to run to the closet to check after seeing your post!

No, it's perfectly clear.

Which pharmacy did you get it at in Canada?
I asked my regular pharmacy & they had no clue what I was talking about!
Thanks!

Mine came from REXALL , no particular reason other than it's a couple blocks away.

I called 3 regular "drug store" pharmacies though (price check), they all could order it. I'm in Edmonton, so I doubt you have the same ones. They were REXALL, SHOPPERS, and some local store.

They use it in prescriptions to water down various things. Every pharmacy had it, nobody had a extra bottle "in stock", but it was next-day.

So let your fingers do the walking, just phone a couple and ask them to order a 500ml bottle of it for you.

I've been using an e-cig for about a week now, cant remember the brand. Has the cart and atomizer built together. Decided I would like to be able to refill my carts, and make my own flavors. So I ordered a mini from Totally Wicked.

So...I just got my new mini dse 901 and 2 packs of blank cartridges. I also recieved my order of sample juice flavors from Johnson Creek. Everything tastes the same! I've tried 2 different batteries, as well as both atomizers, and it all has the same, weird sickly sweet taste. Everything was ordered as Non PG.

Is that where I made my mistake? I mean come on.... cherry should not taste like chocolate, nor should either of them taste like a regular cart! Can anyone help / advise / cuss me out... I don't care! I am going crazy!

I use JC juice and the flavors are all distinctive, especially peach cobbler. I wonder if the flavors are carrying over from one to the other. A clean atomizer is a must when changing flavors.

It also may be that you are still tasting the primer from the new atomizers, if this is the case it should get better over time.

hmmmm I just noticed all were non-pg, VG might have flavor retention issues with JC juice based on some other postings I've seen.

Send a note to Johnson Creek and see what they have to say about the issue.

That's just it. Everything was ordered from TW except the the Johnson Creek sampler pack. The mini cig, the original carts, and the refills!

On both orders I asked for Non PG. Is the glycerin the culprit? Is that what is making everything taste sooo sweet?

I tried new carts, and never used batteries and atomizers.

How long does it take to "break in" an atomizer? Right now, I am having trouble even bringing myself to pick up the e-cig, its that bad. Is there anything I can do to speed up the process?

Ok, did some experimenting with just my nose. Everything has this same smell. (which is the same as what I am tasting). So... would it be the glycerin, or the "nic" in everything? Is this just something I will have to learn to get used to?

I know I probably sound like I'm whining, but seriously, I never had anything taste sweet like this on my smoke51 cartridges!

Are you sure you're not still burning through the primer fluid that's put on new attys? It can be sorta nasty...it gets better.

shake your e-juice before refilling, as the flavorings can separate. You can try a drop onto the atomizer wick (the metal mesh) directly, but don't do more, or you can flood it and/or drip into the battery, which will eventually kill a non sealed auto battery.
