All of my tea juices leave a lingering....horrid after smell?

[tteabags]

Okay let me start off by saying that I absolutely LOVE tea juices, but with every blend I've tried out and fallen in love with, I am left with the same old lingering dilemma... tea juices, from my experience, leave an after stench, that smells somewhere in between ... and cat piss on the stank-... barometer of things. I'm wondering if anybody else has issues with this, as well and if they've found any solution. Would steeping, perhaps solve this or reduce the stench?


Hopefully I'm not the only person who's going through this and hopefully there is a cure because I really LOVE my tea juices, and it would be great to be able to vape them without feeling self conscious lol

I have found that with tea juices, steeping actually hurts rather than help

 

[tteabags]

Yikes! LOL...I've been attempting to steep for about over a week now..

I haven't used any tea flavors yet so good to hear this. My family did complain about a belgian chocolate one I had tho. Said it smelled like doe urine! (yes, that comes in a bottle for hunting purposes, lol)

 

[Kanj.nguyen]

It also depends on components of the juice. I make my own Earl Grey juice, and i do steep real tea leaves in hot PG to add as a flavor.

 

[tteabags]

Haha I will make a note to steer clear of belgian chocolate then as doe urine certainly does sound like it trumps my wimpy old cat piss any day.

And WOW, I would've never thought of steeping it with actual tea leaves, I'll have to try it. What's your method of heating up your PG? The PG/VG ratio in my current tea juice is 80/20.

 

[Kanj.nguyen]

I have seen people heating their PG in a frying pan and placing a tea bag into the simmering PG.

I dont have convenient access to a kitchen, so i use my Ultrasonic Cleaner to heat up a 5ml bottle of pure PG, put some tea leaves in, and heat it up again.

Its not for everyone, i need to warn you. The real tea steeped in PG smells nothing like a cup of fresh tea. I put it in my juice as an additive to give extra taste, as to complement the mixture i made of earl grey/ honey/ lemon flavors.

Which Ultrasonic Cleaner do you use? Does this method work in dulling the stench?

My wife doesn't let me vape any of Rawr's tea juices around her cause it smells like cat urine.

 

[Kanj.nguyen]

I have never had the stench you mention, so i cant help you there. And the real tea juice is actually more prone to smelling bad after a while, because old tea smells horrible.

Any ultrasonic cleaner on the market would do. I use a NEWTrent.

 

[tteabags]

Okay, I'll definitely give that a go. Hopefully it will eliminate, if anything reduce the stench to something a bit more tolerable. If not...back to the drawing board and my chemistry book...

 

[tteabags]

b0redagain...I feel your pain man

 

[Kanj.nguyen]

The lemon works quite well to hide any unpleasant smell.

 

[tteabags]

A lemon e-liquid?

 

[Kanj.nguyen]

I have concentrated lemon flavor.

 

[tteabags]

Interesting, where can I purchase this? And on a side note...what's funny about this particular tea juice, is that when I'm smelling it straight from the bottle, it's actually quite fragrant and pleasing. It's vaping it...that's a pain, that after smell... I don't really notice it, but everybody else around me does.

 

[Kanj.nguyen]

I got in from VapingZone, but pretty much any flavor vendor should have it.

Okay thanks a bunch! I'll try out all of these methods, one of them has to bite.
