Almost no discernable flavor whatsoever

[Boredoftheworld]

Well the great and glorious day finally arrived, 3 shipments in the same mail delivery.

First the usb passthru and 2 packs of prefilled carts from e-smokeytreats. This is my 3rd order already from EST and I'll be making another order when I finish this post...

Second, three bottles of juice from a US distributor, I've tried the peach and the cherry, and while I can tell what they're supposed to be they have nothing on the great chocolate that I started with from e-smokeytreats.

Third is the grand slam, 20 bottles of juice from China, a second starter kit and several packs of blank carts...

When I saw the mail truck coming down the road I ran out of the house and pretty much skipped up the driveway... all 6'6" 300lbs of me. The poor letter carrier thought I had gone completely crazy, for me it was Christmas in July. I ran back into the house, told the kids to bugger off and started tearing open packages. When I came to those 20 bottles of liquid happiness I think I almost blacked out from the sheer joy.

I got all the other stuff out of the way and then settled in for the long haul, I expected I'd try maybe 2 bottles and get hooked on something and my wife would find me passed out in a vaporized euphoria... 11 bottles later and I haven't actually tasted any flavor (correction, just tried whiskey and I can tell what it's trying to be) [rum tastes like something too... can't quite tell what, but it does have a flavor, actually it's VERY good!].

First I thought it was the atomizer so I switched it... twice, no difference, even with the two new atomizers with the primer STILL IN. I went back to my "great" atomizer (the one that blows vapor all over the place) and tried a regular battery instead of the passthru, thinking maybe there was something screwy with it... no difference.

After a few bottles I thought "maybe they forgot to put flavors in?" but the various liquids are colored differently so that doesn't seem reasonable. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? I inhale across my tongue, hold the vapor in my mouth and then do a french inhale through my nose. That usually gives me a pretty intense "taste".

All I really have to compare any of this to are two flavors from e-smokeytreats, cherry (which was like cherry pie filling and very nice) and chocolate (which was like huffing a tootsie roll and extremely enjoyable). Both of those flavors were full and what I can only describe as "rich".

I had my wife try a blind test on a couple of the flavors and while she had lots of guesses she didn't even get close on anything.

She gets a package of coffee carts from esmokeytreats out of what showed up today and I can smell that stuff from across the room.

So anyhow I have 100ml of pretty much flavorless liquid, they certainly aren't unpleasant... that would require THAT THEY HAD SOME SORT OF FLAVOR TO THEM! I suppose I can add flavors later but what has me puzzled is the company they came from seems quite well regarded around here so surely they aren't sending out huge batches of liquid labeled as something they clearly aren't... so am I doing it wrong?

What I'm hoping is someone will say "oh, you have to vape that stuff standing on your head", or in a dark room, or SOMETHING that I'm missing that when I do it BLAMMMMOOO I'll have grape, orange, lemon, watermelon, coconut, apple, creme, and a dozen other flavors wafting all over the place.

[edit: the menthol almost knocked me out of my chair... good grief that's some strong stuff. The vanilla is pretty good too.]

Get some loranns flavoring to add to what you have.

Give it some more time. There have been atty's for me that have taken a week to "break in" and start producing flavor. Especially on an 801 atty..............

I had a similar experience. I could discern the strong fruity flavors from the RY4, etc, but everything else tasted the same to me. I wondered if it could be an overload of my taste buds. I know when you try different perfumes, they give you some coffee beans to sniff in between the perfumes to clear your sense of smell. Same thing with sorbet to clear your pallet. I quit trying more than one new flavor at a time and just vaped one for the evening and then try another the next day. It worked for me.

Corki2, If my wife hadn't confirmed my "it tastes of air!" opinion then I'd expect it might be an overloaded palette. We're talking grape, orange, lemon, coconut AND ry4 though. I expected those flavors would all but knock me down, but for both my wife and myself we can't detect a difference between any of them.

As it happens I'm trying banana right now and it's not only producing an over-abundance of vapor but I can detect something that might actually be banana in the aftertaste (it's very smooth and running my teeth over my tongue gives me a sort of "I've eaten a banana today" "memory")... my wife confirms it "THAT'S banana".

So we've tested 14 of the 20... "Whiskey" tastes of something, "Rum" tastes rummy and "Banana" tastes like bananas. Everything else tastes of air.

Elendil, the same atomizer that produces no flavor for these latest bottles gives a GREAT chocolate, cherry, vanilla, menthol and coffee taste... but only so far with e-smokeytreats prefilled carts or liquids.
