Alien visions carto/boba problem

[griffco]

Well I should be posting this in the AVE subforum but I dont have enough posts. Maybe I'll get a response here.

I recently bought GJ, BB and flue-cured juice along with 4 of the dual coil carto's from AVE. I loaded each one up in a carto right away and started vaping. The GJ and FC are really good...the FC is hands down the most realistic tobacco i've had compared to the sweet, nutty dekang ones.

However the BB tastes off....like it has this sweet chemical taste to it, not burnt just chemically. I'm wondering if the carto is bad or if it's the juice, I'd hate to put another 2ml into a fresh carto (my last empty one) if it's the juice.

Have you ever tasted BB before? It does have a mystery kinda weird flavor maybe a bit fruity - everyone tastes something different.

Try dripping it on an atomizer and see if it's the juice itself or something else.

If it's new it might just need to steep a little. I don't get that at all from Bobas but I have noticed it does get better after it sits a while. Put it aside for a week or so while you enjoy the others you have an try it again.

Also for trying new flavors I'd recommend dripping. It's also good for changing things up when you don't want to use a carto. A few drops on the atty vs a few ml in a carto. It's easiest to use a drip tip but you can use a regular cart with an atty. You just have to remove the cart to drip each time.

I use boba's all day every day in many different cartos or tanks and never a chemical taste. It definitely is sweet I'd say. But like dormouse said. Everyone tastes something different. Some like it some hate it. Maybe let it sit a week and give it another go. Don't give up on it yet.

You need an atomizer to test your juices before wasting a carto on a juice you don't enjoy. Boba's is a unique juice. Maybe you're one of those people who just doesn't like it. To get two winners in an order is a HUGE success. You can sell your Boba's in the classified section if you decide it's not for you and only be out a few bucks off retail. Congrats on the juices you enjoy!

So i filled up a new carto and it was the carto. This one tastes fine!

Also I know I should get an atomizer for testing I just like carto's so much better.

I'm thinking it could be that the carto wasn't truly saturated and singed a bit. BB is some thick juice.

Killing time as I type filling up a fresh EMDCC with 90+ drops of BB letting it soak in real good. I transfer the juice into a 10ml dropper bottle for convenience. On the initial fill, I warm the juice by putting the dropper bottle in a cup of hot tap water to thin rather than adding water. Once filled, I can top off normally.

Glad to hear you got it sorted out. You are gonna get so hooked on Boba's.

Yeah actually as I sit here I might've hit the sweet spot with boba's. Even without letting it steep (although it took 5 days to get here so I'm counting that as steeping time) it tastes really really good. I like how it doesn't taste 'fake' like the china juices do.

Although I have an emdcc I cleaned out and just waiting for it to dry so I can vape out of that. I much prefer the emdcc to these other carto's I got. I also got some clearomizers but I doubt I'll have enough bb to fill both up. Also I hear it doesn't wick well enough.

Oh and I don't it wasn't saturated enough....I did the thermometer trick and really got it soaking wet. Now I am just debating if I should crack it open and salvage the 2ml in there.

what is the thermometer trick??

Hold the end you drip into, and flick it around like you do with a thermometer. It's kind of like a taryn spin in that it uses centripetal force to 'push' the juice towards the bottem of the carto. If you have a clearomizer you can really see how well it works and it even works for AVE thick juices.

Oh and preferably put a condom on the end a a few drips will spray out once you start getting it full.

I am guessing that he is talking about flicking it. Dropping a few drops in the end, grabbing it by the end and "flicking" it to get the juice to the bottom of the carto.
