am I the only one that things PS's flavors have chaged.....they are AWEFUL

[tpboles]

Aw...now I'm bummed. I just received Pina Colada along with Cash Cap for the first time and neither of them tasted good to me at all. I just assumed it was my taste buds but now I'm starting to think its a bad batch due to everyones comments on them.
Wonder if PS would swap them out when they get in a new batch? That would be awsome if they would, that's $40+ in juice that's wasted.

I don't think any of the juice is "bad batches" per se. I think the goofy ... manufacturers can't keep their .... straight. With anything that is mass produced, there can be a slight difference, but this difference was a bit more than slight.

Got my big bottle of riskee, and my 555 and they taste ok to me.

 

[D_Struct]

I just loaded up a cartridge of the Menthol that I got in the mail at lunch, and, so far, it tastes just like the old menthol I've received.

 

[testerjtester]

Thought it might have been my atomizers, but the Riskee I got last week does indeed seem different than the Riskee I recall from my sample pack several weeks ago, kind of flat, maybe a little too sweet, not feeling the caramel-y love either.

I got 30 ml bottles of 24mg and 0mg, and the 0mg is almost completely flavorless as far as I can tell - should the nicotine level change the flavor at all?

 

[ninjapuff]

As for the menthol, it has the same chemical or burt plastic taste that their cola did. Once again I'm going to have to boil my atomizer in hopes of getting that sickening flavor out.

My last batch was french pipe and cola and they were both AWEFUL to the point of almost sickening. The french pipe tasted like some kind of flower mixed with perfume or something, and the cola, as I said, had this chemical flavor that was so strong and disgusting that I had to boil all THREE atomizers to get the flavor out.

You aren't alone, I got some of that nasty tasting cola a while back as well. My best guess is that some kind of soap residue didn't get all the way washed out when the manufacturer made the batch... the liquid itself seems to smell a little like soap mixed with cola, but I really don't know for sure what it could be. It was one of the first flavors I got, so I thought I was doing something wrong and burning out atomizers, but it turned out it was just a bad batch of cola. The funny thing is, the only way I was able to successfully get the nasty taste out was to soak it in Coca Cola.

I never tasted Riskee before I purchased it on March 20th. But it did NOT taste like caramel or anything similar at ALL. Its very very mild tasting and I can't get a good taste but its more fruity than anything caramel.

My opinion only.
I still have the bottle, I'll use it if I run out or need a change or something.

Well now I know I'm not nuts. At least about the Riskee Yuice. LOL I ordered 2 bottles of it and thought it tasted like a strong berry flavor. My sis thought it was more chocolatey. I sold mine in the Classifieds and the buyer thought it tasted fine just like the caramel flavor it's supposed to. Go figure. I wondered if it had something to do with the fact my atty was getting older. I just got some new attys today so think I'll try the Riskee again with a new atty.

 

[silkie]

I just tried my first risky also and am not tasting anything special. No carmel or vanilla just kind of sweet and bland. Plus they got my order wrong and only sent 10ml bottle and I ordered a 30ml. I am sure it will be corrected as they did reply to my email really fast. Thinking now I should not have ordered so much of it.

 

[eulogy]

My menthol I just ordered from puresmoker dries up extremely fast. I've used nearly 1/4th of my 10ml bottle already in 2 days. I have a menthol from another vendor, and I don't have any of these problems.

After 2-3 puffs of the stuff, It seriously tastes like... .... sweat mixed with blended fish sticks.

Seems like they don't give a ****, either. I think I'm done with this company. I waited 6 days for my bottle with excitement from all the good reviews, and ended up with a bottle of piss.

Kind of begs the question "Are suppliers buying in bulk and then cutting/repackaging?". That would be a good explanation of inconsistencies in flavor strengths.

I feel the nic strength varies the flavor. I've noticed a peppery taste that takes away from the flavor when I vape higher nic e-liquids. I'm not sure why your 0 nic would taste flavorless.

 

[D_Struct]

The new Riskee that I received last week tastes just fine.

People need to remember the fact that, as time goes by, and you're more and more removed from smoking analogs, that your tastes will change quite severely. This could account for some of the "I loved them before, but now they taste weird" problems.

Not all, but some.

Well, it amazes me to say it, but I've been struck by bad tasting liquid, as well.

I just don't understand this.

It tasted just fine when I got it, but I cranked my 901 up today, and the Riskee tasted awful. Very little taste at all. Almost a soapy/fragrance taste. The caramel/RY4 flavor I was getting up until today? Gone.

Tried other flavors, and they taste the same. Something's up with the Riskee.

Take a look at this thread. It may help answer some of your questions. Puresmoker has not posted yet, but I figured they had been busy.

Thanks tp, that was a great referral! I wasn't feeling great about posting my general comments about this under Puresmoker.

 

[Elwin]

Actually, there's a few threads complaining of taste recently, including this one:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/puresmoker/10080-juice-tasting-different.html


In defense of the folks at Puresmoker, obviously they can't taste every bottle, so it's entirely possible for them to have missed the change in flavor.
And if their manufacturer dropped the ball when it came their specifications, it may not be a matter of Puresmoker changing or mis-mixing batches. That would be out of their hands, since the bottles are coming in to them individually sealed.
But nonetheless, it seems now more than an isolated incident.

In my case, I've tried every thing I can to keep my purchase from being a total loss. I've tried the True Menthol straight, cut it with VG and PG, and mixed it with traditional tobacco flavours, trying to salvage what I can.
But the fact remains that the TM that I purchased tastes terrible, and I finally had to purchase and use another brand.

Well I can tell you that we are definitely not cutting/repackaging the juice. It comes to us sealed from the manufacturer and that's the way we send it out. It seems that alot of other suppliers are going through this as well, and I can only guess that China has a problem with their quality control. We have talked to them about this on several occasions especially since the same flavor and strength will be one color on the first shipment, and then on the next shipment the same flavor and strength will be a completely different color, so obviously something's different on their end. However, since we obviously can't test each bottle before they're shipped out, we've had some people receive flavors that taste a little off. We apologize for that and are working to improve that.

 

[keys4fun]

The Pina Colada is really really bad!!! Taste like soap residue. I tried the 11mg and the 24mg and both have some serious problems. I did let PS know and they say they have tasted all the products and all seem good contrary to what everyone is posting on the forums.

Sounds to me like they are just selling to sell with no regards to try to make the customer happy. Sounds like a company trying to liquidate???

 

[Figurehead]

Well, as I posted in my review of the sample pack in the e-juice review forum, my Pina Colada was also soapy tasting the 2nd day. The 1st day it was fine. I don't understand it, but it was.

 

[Vape]

I have had no problem with any of the juice from PS.
I have gotten some flavors that are not to my liking, but not because of an "off" flavor.
I suspect that it is probably peoples hardware.
I would think that some flavors that are left in the atty are mixing with adverse results.
How could it taste fine one time and not the next?
The only difference is your hardware....right?
I don't mean to infer that there are not quality issues or lack of consistancy of product from China.
I just don't understand how the liquid in the same bottle can taste fine one time and awful the next...unless it has to do with flavors mixing in your atty.
So I think some of these issues on flavor are hardware issues, nothing to do with the supplier.

I'm not saying this isn't the case with some of these problems, but it's definitely not mine, as I have dedicated hardware for different flavors.

My Riskee was great one day, and tastes terrible the next. I have no idea what the issue might be.

Sounds like my experience with Riskee. Some days for me just aren't Riskee days.

Had the floral soap experience now with 3 different juices from 2 different suppliers that my neighbor sent samples of over for me to try. The first was cola. Made me sick to my stomach and took several days and cleanings to get rid of. Won't even consider trying cola again, my neighbor and her DH however thought it tasted just like a cola.

The two most recent samples she sent over I've only tried one of and that not for a couple of days. Both smelled like the same floral soap. I've smelled them every day since she sent them and today, one of them smelled fine and I tried it. It tasted fine. The other still smells like floral soap. I'll just keep checking it.

I make sure to shake up first. If my Riskee has a chemical smell to it, then it's just not a Riskee day. Back on the shelf for another day.

May be a sensitivity to certain chemicals the manufacturers are/have started using, changing/improved senses for me, hardware, I don't know. But so far the smell test seems to be working for me. Shake it up, give it a whiff. If all smells well, then I vape, if not, well back on the shelf for another day.

Yesterday was not a Riskee day , but today was.

i bought 2 50 ml 24mg bottles of Risky Yuice and 50 ml 24mg of cola from Puresmoker.com. They both have almost no taste to them. i still have some older Risky and cola to compare it to, so i can tell the diff.. Also it looks watered down compared to my old stuff. im bummed out. Risky was my fav. :-( Does anyone know how to just buy Risky flavorings to add to this stuff?
