get rid of the perfume smell/taste - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

Well I was wondering if anyone had any tips/tricks/suggestions on how to get rid of a perfume taste/smell in a juice. I read someone said leave the cap off of it for a day or so and it should be gone. Anyone know of anyway to do this? Am I stuck with juices that just smell and taste bad?

I've received 3 bottles all 3 tasted the same perfume taste, returned them, got new bottles and they have the same smell/taste so it's not just a bad batch. I feel I've wasted $40-ish dollars on this juice, not extremely happy about it but nothing I can do, can't get a refund and I'm not sending them back for 3 replacements again that will just come back with the same perfume taste/smell.

Yeah, I have three caramels from different suppliers that all smell like fruit/flowers instead of like caramel! Would leaving the cap off get rid of that and still preserve the caramel that is supposed to be there?

i dont know about leaving the cap off but i would try mixing it with a liquid from another supplier that you like or maybe even cut it with PG or VG

I have mixed it with other liquids and the perfume scent/taste is really overpowering

You have to be careful exposing nicotine to air as it evaporates.

well.. im fairly new to the whole e-cig thing and i only have 3 different liquids (i like all of them) menthol, cappuccino, and watermelon all from litecigusa. i guess you could always try leaving the cap off but i think i read somewhere that nicotine evaporates but im dont know for sure.

yeah I knew it would evaporate the nicotine just hoping for some kind of miracle cure for the bad scent and taste that hides any hint of the actual flavor it's supposed to be

Camel, that's happened to me in five different liquids from three different vendors. I left one out uncapped for 24 hours before I dumped it -- no change whatsoever.

Perfume essences are used in some flavors by some manufacturers, from what I've been told, and I've seen at least two of the offending flavors favorably reviewed by members here, so, strange as it seems to me, some must like them.

I prefer never to duplicate the experience, and waste of money, so I simply won't order any more liquids from those three vendors.

Please tell us who you got the bad juice from? I don't want to spend 40$ on bad juice.

I don't want to give the company a bad name since I was given good reviews about their flavors by a few people. And their Camel flavor was really good and didn't have the perfume smell that the coffee, vanilla, and chocolate had.
