Another quick question from a noob!

When you receive an e-juice that has a perfumey taste will that go away? What causes that? Thanks in advance for help

juice can taste differently if it is left for a while yes, it's known hereabouts as 'steeping'. Also be aware that if you are new to vaping what smells unattractive to you now may become very tasty along the road some as your sense of smell and your taste buds change. If you don't like it now just put it aside and come back to it, you may get a pleasant surprise.

Some juices, especially from vendors who do not mix it until it is ordered, need to steep or sit a bit. The flavors will blend and mellow with a week or two. I am sure others will respond who can be more helpful.
However there are some juices that just never taste good. But then taste is very subjective and personal where juice is concerned.

Oddly enough, I just mentioned this in another thread...

Different tobacco has different flavors. If the juice is a "tobacco" flavor, and is meant to mimic any of the 'Lakeland' types, then that taste actually belongs there. Some people really like it. I'm not one of those people.

What is the juice you are asking about? Could be a bad bottle or something - I think if you post the name of it, there will undoubtedly be someone who has vaped it and can tell you if it's normal for that one or not.

I had that problem with Juicy Vapor and it never went away. They were having a sale and I got 25-30 3ml samples. Received in April and they still have that chemical/perfume taste. I could have caught them on a bad-batch day. They're so bad I won't PIF or sell/trade them in the classys. Still holding out hope some may get better.

I've had a couple that never went away as well. It could be the flavorings too. Now I stick to more mainstream flavors.

Thanks for all your help. The juice is a 24 mg coffee flavor. Just plain coffee.

I have a vanilla bean ice cream that sort of gags me with the perfume taste.

If you take the lid off of the bottle for a night or two, it may help, which is what those above refer to as steeping.

There's nothing worse than a juice that tastes like perfume. Some of them get much better with steeping. Some are just awful forever.

I wish I could tell you what the chemical is that causes it, but I'm not a chemist, nor do I have access to the equipment to test it. It sure doesn't seem like a good thing, though.

I always steep juices like that for a week or so, and if it still smells like that after, I toss it out.

Thankfully I have only gotten one bottle that smelled and tasted perfumey. It's been sitting in my hate box for 2 months and it still smells & tastes perfumey.
