Anyone else have this issue with the liquids?

[xKrazYx]

I have Hilton, Peach, Cola, Lychee, and Orange flavors from Eastmall, all 36mg and at first they were amazing. I loved all of them; they were very flavorful and produced great vapor and throat hit.

Now, after about 2 months, they are the worst tasting things ever, and it burns my mouth whenever I vape it. The aftertaste is comparable to drinking a concoction of tabasco, pepper, and rubbing alcohol.

At first, I thought it was because it was just sitting there for too long, but then I tried my Puresmoker RY and Menthol, which had been there for about 5 months and they still tasted fantastic and left no terrible aftertaste.

My question is, has anyone else run across this? What seems to be the problem, just it's too old or maybe the nicotine is too much? Anyone?

X--Where where they stored ---that would be helpful to know--thanks-Sun

Sounds unusual that any e-liquid would go bad in such a short time.....I am curious as to where it was stored as well!The Wiz!

 

[xKrazYx]

The same place as all my other liquids, in a little cabinet on my computer desk. It never got hotter than room temperature, and sunlight exposure was minimal at best.

Are you cleaning your atomizers? Using the same cartridges since day one?

 

[xKrazYx]

I drip, and I clean my atomizers couple times a week.
And it doesn't happen with other liquids so I don't think it's the atomizer.

I just got my order and at first I thought it was something that I was doing, but it tastes exactly like you described it. But, they are all 8mg and not all are doing that (but most of them). I store mine in my bedroom drawer in a closed box with the rest of my liquid. I too clean my attys out every few days and let them sit a day (but I do not drip--the carts are good--I'm always checking for strays, topping off when I should, etc. I would like to know if it really is something I'm doing wrong or if its the liquid.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/members/xkrazyx.htmlxKrazYx it does sound odd, I've got liquids here in Australia that I've stored for over six months now and they still taste great but then, I've transferred all mine to dark amber glass bottles because I tend to get 6-12 bottles of the flavors I really like from David at a time and I needed the space to store them.

Contact me via email and I'll see what I can do, if we can get a sample of your liquid back to the manufacturer, I'm sure they'll replace it for us as yours was 36mg which we no longer stock ourselves.


koko yours sounds like it just arrived, contact me as well, I can organise a replacement if it turns out to be the liquid.

Problem resolved beautifully.

Thank you Ed =]

I had similar experiences with the spearmint and watermelon once it got towards the end of the bottle. It wasn't so much burning, but very harsh at times, and almost felt carbonated? But not in a good way.

I clean my atty's about 3 times a week, and keep all my bottles in the fridge when I am not using them. Otherwise they are usually in my pocket. Is that a bad idea as well?

I think it's a bad idea to keep them in the fridge for sure. Too much moisture in a refrigerator.

All my stuff stays inside the fridge, in a big cardboard box, nothings gone wrong so far

On the bottle itself, it says:

Please keep out of children's reach; Keep in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator for extended life; expires 24 months from date of purchase; must be 18 years of age to purchase/use.

This batch of liquid I just got from Eastmall hasn't been giving me any problems thus far though.

Pretty sure it was just a quirk.

I've been checking my 2 month and 4 month old stock which I stored in the ref.

24 mg arctic mint 4 month PG : no hit, no mint taste, not nice to vape, fit 4 trash
24 mg Org Tobac 4 month PG : medium hit
Full mg Camel 2 month PG: almost no hit, not nice to vape
24mg Cola 1 month PG: strong hit
36mg Hiltun 1 month PG: very strong hit

 

[jboze]

Interesting. I'm glad I waited to put in another order for liquid.

I just bought 48mg unflavored for stock pile.
Has some room to loose power and less ingredients to spoil the mix.

maybe Sun will chime in , but i believe he had a whole grip of juice turn rancid from being in the fridge. i don't keep mine in the fridge anymore. My kitchen cupboard is a fine , cool / dark place.

i only get naked juice and add my own flavors...just did an order for 48mg 10ml bottles so should be ok...also hubs has caramel we got and his is just fine after 5 months but we do keep in cool dark box and we dont open it until we are going to use it and we put them in little ml bottles for use
