12 out of 12 juices...

[DiNet]

... are bad. Tasting soap... tasting air freshener... shampoo and all kinds of products that are not intended to go into your mouth. Well, except cherry cough syrup... doesn't make me want to vape it tho...
And taste is really now stuck in my throat after last one... can't even drink water!
And this is no some random noname vendor... he's in the "people choice award"...
And one had some grease aftertaste... how's that even possible?! HW is month old, making my own coils... other juices are awesome...
Steeping? Juices mixed 10 days ago. Didn't see any light during these days, need more? Caps off/on?
Anyone ever re-tried juices with these flavors or just flushed them?

You might want to leave the caps off for 2 or 3 days in case it's an alcohol based flavoring you might be tasting. Then, try them again in 2 or 3 weeks to see if you still don't like them. I've had juices I absolutely hated at first end up being some of my favorites after 3 or 4 weeks.

Having emails conversation with that vendor. He wrote he hates his flavors in Vision vivi nova's, they give soapy taste.
Never mentioned to him that I used them, but is this possible? 0.o


Email matches my form name, but this seems too much conspiracy
Aga-T+ and farhenheit RBA on their way, hope these juice turn out to be good. Prices and shipping are awesome...

whats the vendor and flavors?

 

[gthompson]

Soapy comes from the juice, not from a delivery system.

Not to be released for now.

Exactly my thoughts... I'd take it about some flavor, like menthol, overtaking everything else with specific HW or voltage or need of steep... but soapy? And I mean real soap. Like when you get shampoo in your mouth or spraying air freshener and getting that taste...

Well, I'm getting RBA dripping atty in few days and going to order Aga-T+ in few days anyway. Won't lie, but my hopes are that HHV fruity juices are as good as tobacco and I won't care about other vendors. Can't vape only AiV, I'll get tired of them if I do that

No alcohol taste at all. Have some juice that has it, but this is not the case
I hope it gets good. $65 for 7x30ml bottles including Intl. shipping.. I really want to make this work

Wow. That's some cheap juice. Less than $10/30mil shipped. Was it on sale?

So you bought seven 30 mil bottles of juice from a vendor you'd never tried before. Did you choose to order in those large quantities and just hope for the best based on rave reviews? Been there, done that, have the t-shirt. Learned my lesson the hard way too.

Some flavors can taste "perfumey" when fresh, but do improve with age.

You might want to send some of that juice to the vendor and also send some to someone who is familiar with the normal taste of the juice, just to see if others think there is a problem with it.

The carto/clearo/attie used can indeed affect the taste of the juice. It will be interesting to hear what you think of the taste on an attie rather than in a Nova. I haven't experienced a soapy taste on the Nova before, so that's interesting that the vendor would make that comment.

If a regular customer of that vendor tries the juice and it tastes OK to them, you should be able to find a home for all of that juice and hopefully get something in exchange for it.

Hope it works out for you. And maybe get smaller sizes when ordering from a vendor you've never tried before...even if they do have rave reviews.

Sale, popular vendor in here. Got his own ongoing thread with rave reviews. not one person said about perfumey and soap taste in juices. That's enough for me to order bigger bottles. Don't forget international shipping, it can be between 10 days to 90 never till I receive them. And I'm new vaper with horrible juices available locally. Vivi affects some juice vs cartomizer, tried that. Never vivi added soap taste... it can mute some flavor from the mix, but that's kinda all it did... Except one, that had menthol overdose in it and it WAS NOT mentioned in flavor description. Never would bought anything with menthol...
As a tittle states there are 12 bottles in total. 5 more I ordered from different vendor, less known. I added them because they are not "The perfect" ones, but I'm vaping 2 of them today... They are not great like some others I tried, but there is no soap in them and I might like flavor better with time or mix it with something else...

AiV and HHV juices come in tastes according to their description... they don't send you gandalf or white rabbit with soap in it... and yes, it's that bad for me. Beverage labeled juice gives me taste of my head&shoulders shampoo... not perfume... My hopes with vendor was that it'll come out as some error when cleaned lab and there was spill, but nope...

I know it's harder to understand, but intl. shipping is horrible. I've 1 order from fuzion that left US soil on 7th December and isn't here...
No juice = back to cigarettes...

Trading is cool when other person is hours away from you... nobody to trade with...


EDIT: Found reviews for same flavors, nobody mentions what I'm experiencing. 1 even brings up the fact that it does not tasty perfumey or soapy :/

 

[john333]

wonder if the vendor was cleaning equipment and didnt do a thorough rinse? only odd flavor i've ran into was a rubbery taste. turned out to be the nicotine. just needed more steep time.

I've tried lots of vendors that got rave reviews who had nothing I liked. We don't all like the same things. Took a while but I narrowed down people on here who have similar tastes to mine and I pay attention to them and not so much the general public.

I trade juice with folks who live across the country...by mailing it to them. But that may not be as feasible for you due to your location and the cost of shipping.

I feel for you DiNet, I really do.

I'm wondering if the flavors that are tasting soapy may contain a coconut flavor in them? I've noticed that when vaping some juices with coconut that my brain can register that flavor as kind of soapy tasting.

Have you considered having some DIY supplies on hand so that you don't have to depend on juice vendors over here for your vaping needs? You could get some Nicotine base in the PG/VG ratio that you prefer and a couple of super concentrated flavors that appeal to you. It may not be your idea of the "perfect juice", but it would be enough to keep you off the cigs, at least until your vendor juices get to you.

Or, since shipping can be such an issue for you, consider keeping a large amount of your favorite vendor juices on hand at all times.

Wishing you the best!

Excellent point chimp. Virgin Vapor is widely loved, and Kona Coffe was like #2 or #3 juice of the year a year ago, and for me it was one of the most disliked juices I've had. Later, I saw some of people that liked similar juices as me had the same impression.

I'm curious to what vendor the OP got these juices from. Would make it easier to recommend advice for them. I had an experience recently with a line of juices that all seemed to have a weird undertone to them, but that either went away or I got acclimated to it because I don't notice it now and absolutely love the juices.

I had one highly rated vendor that I ordered 7-8 mostly tobacco flavors and they all had that soapy taste, some more than others. They were truly unvapable after 1 week. The soapy taste dissipated some after a few weeks but never went away completely...and they are still sitting in my cabinet after 3-4 months. Fortunately they were just 3ml samples, so I can just chalk it up to experience.
