I just got my menthol and riskee (both 30ml bottles) The riskee is NOT what it used to be. It is sweet yes, but now it tastes like sugar water....not even a hint of the caramel that I used to love.

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.

I can see that if the menthol didn't have that sickening plastic (or whatever it is) aftertaste it would be great. However, as it is I am ONCE AGAIN going to probably throw it out.

I have tried dozens of flavors from every seller out there practically, and I have only tasted that sickening chemical/plastic taste twice and BOTH times it was with Puresmoker flavors! Coincidence??

My riskee tastes like sugar water but at least there is no chemical aftertaste so I guess I'll just use it :(

Am I the only one here who has experienced this?

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.

    Siggy - you're not the only one. Do a forum search there are many others that have had this problem (not only with PS). I have 40ml of PS Menthol that has the chemical/perfumey taste. I thought maybe my taste buds had just changed or something. Ordered menthol now from 4 other suppliers and not 1 of them have the funky taste you are describing (and yes I know what you are describing). I now know it not just my tastebuds.

    In defense of Steve and the gang they did try and fix the situation with me. I am completely content with the service they have provided for me and will definately continue to order from them (just not the juice). :)

    siggywiggy looks like you joined the forum the same month I did, Nov 08. Since then, the membership here has gone from around 2,300 to over 7,000 members - and it seems like most of them have joined in March.

    I learned pretty fast to get it while the gettin's good, so still have a ****-ton of juice in the fridge from my last order in February, but from several threads about the deterioration in taste, I'm dreading what I may encounter once my stock runs out.

    Sorry I can't be a cheerleader.

    I never tasted the old juice they had in the menthol. The menthol is the only one I vape pretty much from anyone, menthol or mint, but I did buy 2 50 ml of the 24 mg strength and previously had just bought the medium before. Anyhow, the first one I got in the medium I liked, but it did have that sorta perfumey/powdery taste that others were talking about. It's hard to explain, but it did have that. I still liked it. Anyhow, the 2nd batch with the 50 ml that I opened in the 24 today, I took one and cut it down to 8 and made me 24 mls of it adding nothing else but PG and it doesn't have that taste to it that the other had. I don't know if it's cuz I cut it so much or what. It does have less flavor of course because I cut it, but it's still vapin decent and still has flavor and I'm getting a throat hit. Didn't do anything else to it but add lots of PG.
     
    I ordered Riskee and Cashcap, both in the high nic content. The Cashcap I've had before tasted like a chocolate tootsie pop dropped in a cup of coffee - awesome! This time it tastes different. Still great, but different nonetheless. Also, it's darker colored - an amber color vs. the deep yellow color it was before :confused:

    I never tried the Riskee Yuice (literally how it's spelled on my bottle- har har!) before this order. I get "cotton candy" from it, every time I vape. It's really good IMO, but it doesn't taste like caramel to me.

    That is EXACTLTY how I described it in my review a month ago! LOL!

    10. CashCap
    Vapor= 6
    Flavor=3 (You know those old scratch and sniff stickers? Scratch a "chocolate" scented one, ok, now vape it. That is what this tastes like to me. Not entirely unpleasant, but not what I really want to vape. Oh wait... I got it... take a chocolate tootsie pop, drop it wrapper and all into a cup of coffee and let it sit for an hour. Now take it out and pop it into your mouth, again, wrapper and all... THAT is what this one tastes like to me)
     
    Great minds...!! :thumbs:

    I have a stockpile of juice at this point.. Starting to wonder if I should take refrigerator action like others to keep it from 'turning' or whatever

    Has anyone determined if the fridge changes the flavors at all? I mean obviously I have plans to relocate the freshly-cut onion and do something with the mysterious tub of Cool Whip (that is probably turning into a science project).. :shock:

    But aside from contaminants - any reports of ill happenings in the icebox?

    oops - sorry if this post is taking an exit ramp to hijackville

    I just opened up a 36mg Riskee that I got yesterday. I always put a few drops on my cart before I cut it. It did taste different, a bit weaker and too sweet. I still had a small amount from my March order and there IS a difference, so it's not my taste buds....:confused: My March riskee was 24mg and has a better taste and caramel flavor
    Guess I'll keep in "just in case"

    Yikes. I should get my 50ml bottle of Riskee today, and hopefully it's as I remember it. I've been buying RY4 which is the exact same as the first bottle of PS Riskee I had and have been vaping non-stop for weeks. I will know for sure if it's different.

    I have to say that I noticed the juice changing a while back... I had some Pina Colada which tasted amazing, very pineapple, and tasted great with a glass of OJ. So I bought a 30ml bottle... 29ml still sitting in my fridge, as it tastes like it was watered down. Very sweet, lots of coconutty sort of flavor, but almost NO pineapple at all. I hate it.

    Same here... all great except Pina Colada.

    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.
    :(:(:(:(
