Big bottle vs. small 30mg or 5mg?

[Rikaroo]

Has anyone had this experience?
Searching for my favorite flavors I noticed and was disapointed by this. I had 2 flavors that I deemed my favorite and vaped up my cotton candy 10 ml size bottle and my usa mix 5 mg sample were great so I re ordered a 30 ml bottle of each from the same reputable vendors. When I got the 30 mg bottle loaded up the same equipment and happily started vaping. Too my dissapointment the flavors just werent the same. It seems the smaller size flavors of the supposedly exact same juice on the same equipment were way better then out of a 30 ml size bottle. I am planning on reordering these flavors from the same vendors but will stick to the smaller size bottles next time to confirm that the bigger sizes are just not as good, Anyone notice this?:

Maybe let the bigger bottle "steep" longer ?? Some juices need time for all the components to "mingle" a bit before it is actually ready to vape.

I have experienced that too. It's probably because the samples are made up way in advance of their sale, therefore allowing the juice to steep even before you recieve it.

As Warlike suggested, let it sit for a couple of weeks and try it again.

Shake the he(double hockey sticks) out of the bottles, ever order a "Black & Tan" at the pub, that's what your big bottles are like, the ingredients need to mix a bit.

I wish less vendors sold juices that aren't ready yet. They should at least tells us how long they need to steep.

OK thanks. I have noticed some juices are better after a week or two on the shelf.

The problem with this is the fact that it is subjective

Some people might like that juice fresh, whilst others cannot stand it until it steeps. The vendor cannot comply with everyone's tastes. So, they make due. They sell it fresh and it's up to us to vape it as we like it

Vapor Bomb tells you on their site that they are fresh and need to steep. I was curious with Johnson Creek (no steeping), Quick nic Juice (yes, steep), and Ms. T's Bakery (also needs to steep) so I sent 'em an e-mail asking them. So when in doubt, just ask. In my experience, most places like interaction with their customers.

IMO it will take a bigger bottle longer to steep than a smaller bottle. Some have even said they like to split it up in smaller bottles to steep it faster.

Seems like everyone is in agreement...freshly made juice to order, in larger quantities need a chance to Steep. Give it week or 2 in a dark cabinet, notice the change in juice color as each couple days go by. It should be good to go in as little as a week, but some require a bit more time.

One other possibility is our sense of smell and taste go numb after vaping the same flavors a while. There are 3-4 threads right now discussing that. Some vendors say their juice don't have to be steeped, so why the drop off in taste? By "steeping" for a week or two, the juice is removed from our constant exposure, therefore the flavor comes back.

 

[Rikaroo]

I think you hit the nail on the head with alot of juices!!

 

[JustaGuy]

Unfortunately, there is another possibility: they are not the same juice. See this thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/217536-e-juice-tastes-differnt-then-sample.html and my 2 cents there.

Edit: there are way too many so-called USA Mix juices sloshing around, not all made by Dekang, the original and genuine.

The fact is, there is not a great degree of consistency in this industry ..

I thought that my taste buds were going through the "no flavor" phase but now after seeing this I'm worrying it might be the juice. I had samples sizes from NLV and AVE and they were great. Boba's Bounty and Bounter Hunter were my new favorites. This whole taste bud thing started the same time I got my big bottles of both. My roommate agreed that the newer Boba's I got wasn't as flavorful as the last one. Now I'm praying it's my taste buds!

An excellent reason to DIY. Then you know precisely what you're getting.

Cloud, your buds still haven't come back? My sensory deprivation ended within 3 days.

Uncle, very true, it's the wilderness out there. Hardware is fairly easy, but juice? If you find some good ones, even DIY suppliers, stick to it, all we can do.

Good god man no...Everything is still dull, dull dull flavor. I got some menthol and vaped that for awhile it didn't help...I also have Line Rider, Blueberry Crumble, Gorilla Juice, BWB RY4 and Malty. The only one I can taste right now is the RY4. Granted it hasn't steeped yet I just got it two days ago but I can taste the tobacco and very small hints of the caramel and vanilla which I guess will come out more in time. But the other stuff is just so weak. Two weeks ago everything tasted so damn good I miss it.
Either a) my taste buds are on a long vacation b) something weird happened to both my ego batts at the same time or c) the juices all need to steep longer and the samples I got before were already steeped? or different, better batches? I don't know I'm going crazy.

The fault Brutus, is not in the stars. You've got plenty of flavors, so it can't be they're all light. Maybe you've got allergies, smell anything? Can you taste food? How much are you vaping? Could be you ODed, too many flavors. Another possibility is dirty atty/carto, not burning right.

I can taste food fine. Don't think I have allergies. Too many flavors? I've heard of that but I really mainly just stick with 2 different ones a day. Especially now since there are only a couple I can kind of taste. And i've definitely tried 3 different atty's...and I've tried a bunch of different cartos. LR, SR, dual coils, all brand new. I've filled up way too many new cartos trying to figure this out. I can smell everything fine too. The juices smell the way they used to taste. I hope I don't have an abnormality of some sort.
