Don't throw it out.... let it steep (let it alone in a dark, cool area) for a few weeks... The flavors change a bit and so will your taste buds. If (after the steeping) you still don't like it go to the Pay it Forward section and pass it on. Or save it to give to someone you introduce to vaping. Glad to have you here with us!

Well you can do a couple different things.

-You can mix it up with other juices. Hitting it with a strong menthol often works.(assuming you like menthol)
-You can hold on it...pending where you purchased it from it might be fresh, and need seeping times. The flavor Might change after a few weeks. Sometimes for the better.
-You can hold on it again...b/c as a new vaper...your taste buds are still outta wack from all the years smoking. Your tastes in juice is very likely to change over the next few months.
-You can sell it or trade it in the classifieds section, though normally folks sell more then two samplers at a time. Typically it is lots or big bottles. But thats no reason you cant it's just unusual.
-You can got to the PIF/pay it forward section and see if any offers are to your liking then offer that up to next person. (please check out the rules first if you want to do that)

Mixing - Get some good vanilla eliquid of the same nic level (I like Backwoods Brew). Mix the bad liquids with vanilla. Vanilla is a great fixer upper. Some other good fixer uppers - if you want more sweet try a caramel. If you want less sweet try FreedomSmokeUSA Cocoa - which is dark, strong and almost bitter - it will really fix up too-sweet tobaccos, or you could turn a sweet overdone fruit liquid into a chocolatey fruit. A good fixer for juices not sweet enough are sweeteners - Tasty Vapor sells a bottle of safe sweetener - it is sucralose aka splendex diluted 10% w/ PG.

Steeping - If they are perfumey or powdery smelling, uncap, pop out the dropper and set somewhere safe from kids, pets and spills (and away from heat or sun) for several hours to overnight. Then put the dropper back in, recap and try. If still not good let sit for a while.

Armageddon - Put them in an Armageddon box in case the supply of eliquid is cut off by laws, FDA, disaster, etc

Sell or Gift
