I recently got RID of a 30 ml cola, 2 10ml french pipes and a cashcona because they were just nasty.....and I mean NASTY AS HELL! In fact, I had to wash 2 atomizers that were ruined from the cola.

I have had those flavors in the past and they were great (well not the cona but the other 2) but this last batch was just the nastiest thing I've ever had.

Well yesterday I noticed that they had stock again so I bought riskee and menthol because in the past I LOVED them.

However, considering I also loved french pipe and cola I'm really REALLY nervous that their juice has just changed somehow.

I guess I really am just asking if anyone here has gotten a VERY recent order of riskee and/or menthol and if so was it as good as you remember?

Thanks

No change in where we get our liquids made. I did try all the liquids when they came in, and I didn't see any difference in the flavors at all. I Know my taste buds have changed tremendously over time and now some things that I loved have now become tollerable, but I have Never had any of the liquids taste like perfume or taste bad. I know we just got new batches this past monday, so It wouldn't hurt to try them and see.

Thanks,
Daniel

I ordered Riskee because I really wanted to try some caramel. When I rec'd it, I thought it had a very strong berry flavor to me. I have read on the forum that for whatever reason there are several different opinions as to wht Riskee/RY4 tastes like. Others thought the same thing I did while many get the caramel flavor. I sold mine on the Classified Section. Then I started thinking. Maybe it has something to do with using an atomizer that's been well used. Does juice taste different on a fairly new atomizer (after primer is burned off of course) than on a fairly used one? I've been reading several posts like the OP's and it got me to thinking. By the time you reorder juice you have been using your equipment for a while. Just a theory. What do you think?

I also purchased some Riskee at the grand opening, I was hoping for something caramellie or along those lines, as folks had described. It didn't taste anything like that to me, in fact there is hardly any flavor at all - very strange.

I also mix my own juice, and the closest I could come was a mix of Apple and Mango - so WAY off the desription I read from all the other folks on here.

Riskee Yuice is a love hate relationship.
Some people love it and says it tastes like Caramel, while others thinks it tastes like Smoke flavoring. This is the first that I've heard it tasting like berries. I didn't get to taste the last batch so i'm not sure. I know this new baqtch of liquids tastes great so you shouldn't have that problem again, unless it's your own taste buds.

Well I'm pretty sure I'm probably the weird one. LOL My sis ordered a bottle too and she didn't think it tasted like berries. That's why I didn't bash it publicly or demand a refund. But I still wonder if maybe I should've tried a new atty. Oh well, the person who bought it from me was happy and I got my $$ back to buy something else so all is good. :)

As odd as this may sound... I stand firm that Riskee Yuice taste different under certain circumstances. If you vape it in the morning, outside, and it's chilly, I taste the berry flavor described by a few (a berry cotton candy type flavor.) Inside, and it's warm, it's completely different.

Normally, it's a flavor I cannot describe. I have never ever tasted a caramel or vanilla flavor in it at all.

I have a 50ml showing up today, so I'll post back. I'll be bummed if it's not like it was before.

I taste the Caramel/Vanilla flavor myself....and I just made my own of Cotton Candy using Loranns and the only similarity I see is the sweet taste. Cotton Candy flavor being much sweeter. I do start to get a bad taste from the Riskee if my atomizer needs cleaning though. It definitely tastes best with a freshly cleaned or new atty.

My Risky does Not taste like the last batch. No caramel or cotton candy taste. also i got the 24mg stuff, but i dont think its 24mg mabee 4mg. I smoked it for hours without a nic. fix. I had to break out my Old Risky Yuice. I had my friends try it too. They buy 16mg and cut it down to 8mg. they said the same thing almost No nic. and almost no flavor. I think I paid $100 from puresmoker.com for crap.

I got my first just last week and can't taste much either. I was disapointed as I was expecting to taste some carmel. I have tried it in all my ecigs with new carts and still not much flavor. I got the low nic. They shorted my order and sent 10ml instead of the 30ml so I am waiting for the rest to come in and will see if it is any different. Probably from the same shipment so not expecting it to be any better.

I recently received 10ml bottles of Riskie Yuice and Strawberry (11mg) and both taste "normal" to me. Also got bottles of Cash's Tobacco Special Blend (Marlboro) and Cash 555, and both seem fine, but I have not tried either before now.

I have experienced "raunchy" juices before, but I have not detected a "change" in any juices from PureSmoker.

My latest order of Riskee doesn't seem to have the rich caramel/nutty flavor that my previous order had. The flavor is still there, but not as strong in my opinion. One possibility is that with my latest order I lower the nic level from medium to low which may have lessened the flavor of the mix or how my taste buds are receptive to that flavor. I also noticed the latest batch doesn't have the throat hit that my old batch had. That I definately attributed to the lesser nic level.

I finally was able to find juice available and purchased from puresmokers for the first time. I bought the Menthol, Riskee and CashCap in 24mg and Coffee in 36mg.

Menthol has a good strong flavor.
Riskee does seem to have some carmel flavor to me.
CashCap seems to have a VERY mild flavor - is it supposed to be this mild?
Coffee has no flavor at all.

I emailed PS as soon as I received it and tried it out (same day I received it) and all I got was "I'm sorry, no returns or exchanges allowed". I got the impression the Coffee was mislabeled. They asked me what color it was (I told them it appeared to be the same color as the Menthol and CashCap) and they told me it was not mislabeled. I thought it seemed completely flavorless, my husband says it tastes like a regular mild cigarette. I have tried the coffee flavor from another competitor previously, and theirs had good coffee flavor.
I am very disappointed with these 2 bottles I purchased and especially with the lack of customer service. Every email I received from them (we corresponded about 3 times back and forth) included "I apologize for the inconvenience".
Any one else have this kind of problem with their flavors?
