Is this how an ecig is supposed to taste???

[Doug Dino]

It took me a long while to find a juice that i enjoyed, I don't like fruit flavors but even just the different tobacco flavors varied greatly. You may also be a good candidate for VG based juice as vegetable glycerin is naturally sweet and i would think work better for fruit flavors. maybe try Johnson Creeks Non-PG peach cobbler juice.

I hope the cigtechs and ruyan juice is better, if it is, the nuvape juice is goin in the trash!

[Doug Dino]

oh,, and it's not your 510 nor e-cigs in general, you just got bunk juice

[dinobello]

from the prefilled carts too? is that possible?

No worries...I am using a 510. I am also eagerly awaiting an 801.

I just got my 510, well about 12 hours agi,lol I'm still trying to decide if I like it or not. I know I didn't like the pre-filled carts that came with it. My other ecig is the 901 and I love that one now that I've quit killing my batteries.

Give making your own juice and filling your own carts a try. I bet they will taste a lot better. I just made a wonderful watermelon today and it was some of the best juice I've had so far. If you need and mixing tips just PM me and I'll help all I can.

Jules, First off thanks so much to you and everyone who is responding with your input. I think it's totally cool of you guys to take the time and educate me. I really want this to work.

I am waiting for a bunch of empty carts that I ordered and, like I said, a couple of juices from a couple of other companies. You guys are awesome! And Jules, I may take you up on that!

If any of you are ever in Wisconsin near the Milwaukee area, I am a bar manager, and drinks will be on me! shoot me a message to let me know.

Happy Vaping to all!!!

You've received lots of good advice. You're right . . . folks are very friendly around here.

Frankly, I don't like the taste of most prefilled cartridges. I have some strawberry cartridges for my 901, and they're sitting in a drawer waiting for the day when I'm really, really hard up and that's all I've got.

And, as you've discovered, not all juices are the same in terms of intensity and taste. Moreover, people's tastes differ substantially. I was vaping a liquid that didn't taste quite right to me--had a nasty undertone. I handed my e-cig to my sister who promptly announced it was quite nice with no hint of nastiness.

I've found that some liquids I initially liked don't taste so great to me now. Conversely, some liquids I didn't like when I first started vaping now taste pretty good. I think part of that is my tastebuds didn't seem to be operating quite as efficiently in the beginning . . . 30 years of smoking will do that. Now that my tastebuds are back online, so to speak, vaping has become even more fun.

My best advice is to continue to explore and try new flavors. If you find something you don't like, you have three choices: (1) trade/sell it here on the forum, (2) doctor it up with a DIY to improve the flavor, or (3) put it up and try it again in a few weeks. We have a whole forum devoted to DIY liquids, and folks like Jules are always happy to give a helping hand.

But whatever you do, don't give up quite yet.

I too was having problems with the taste of some liquids, so i added some lorannes flavorings wich helped alot. I love ruyans juice have not had a funny taste yet. I think you will be very happy when you receive it. Happy Vaping.

Addition***

Sorry Deadcat, I guess it might be a perfumey smell and taste. I don't know exactly how to describe it. if you pulled out a brand new cart of a fruity juice; does it smell like just the fruit, or does it have another scent that accompanies it?

I know I probably sound like a weirdo, but I can't fight this. And, nobody wants this to work for themselves as much as I do!

I have heard many people complain about a perfumey smell and taste with some NuVape juices, but I went ahead and ordered them anyway. I can now confirm the perfumey smell and taste, and I threw all of the liquid away because it was very disturbing.
