Big bottle vs. small 30mg or 5mg?

[JustaGuy]

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.

OK, last possibility if none of above, your buds got accustomed to your favorite super duper flavors. Who was it that just mentioned in another thread - if you smell garbage all the time, you can't smell it anymore. It's a natural "defense" our body possess, to tone things down and help us survive.

That does make sense because I was almost exclusively vaping Bounty Hunter and Boba's BUT i just ran an experiment with my roommate who doesn't vape...and this new bottle of Malty that I got, which is a pretty subtle flavor, he can taste it while I taste absolutely nothing. And thats not a flavor that I've ever vaped. He said it tasted like melted cotton candy. Which is kind of what I smell in the bottle...but no taste. The only thing I can guess is i've been vaping too much in general maybe?

 

[CloudCuckooMan]

oh and he also agrees that my new, bigger bottles of Bounty Hunter and Boba's taste nowhere near as good as the samples did

Bait & switch (not implying)? There's that consistency issue again. How much are you vaping anyway? I'm stumped.

I don't know I mean...I work 8 hour days Mon-Fri and I'm puffing on it while I work sometimes but not straight all day. Then when I get home i'll sit at the computer or watch tv and I'll use it about the time it takes to smoke a cigarette and then stick it in my front pocket. I do vape alot at home but not like crazy. I've only gotten sick feeling from nicotine once back when I started and I was trying everything out like a madman. I have 600 or 650 mah ego batts and they last like 6 hours? I think thats normal right?

I got another 10ml of Line Rider as well, because it was one of the few juices I could sort of taste. same size as before, but it tastes nothing like the last bottle. The first one I had was a sweet 555 taste it was great. This one tastes like their menthol tobacco flavor (cold creek) without the menthol. Just a plain dry tasting tobacco. It's really a bummer.

That's not heavy. I vape more than that. And I'm still stumped.

Yeah. I don't know. My father told me he lost his taste for 3 weeks but he thought it was because he was sick. I don't feel sick though. Someone else on the forums said it took them 10 days. So maybe it takes longer for everyone and in my case it's just taking longer? I hope at least...By the way I mentioned in another thread that BWB has some of their hard to get flavors in right now just thought I'd let you know in case you didn't see. I just ordered some Malty Toffee and Cherry Tobacco

AHA! Eureka! I know why my buds came back quicker. Answer: I vape light flavors, so I recover faster. Most folks go heavier. Boba's is not a light flavor to me, if you've tried their Flue Cured or C&D, both lighter. It's the price you pay, man! The buds can only take so much, more overworked, longer to recover. I try to ease up on food, drink and vape flavors to leave some room for the nuances.

 

[CloudCuckooMan]

I hope you're right. I'll let you know what happens. I'm sure there will be a huge celebration. Still doesn't change the fact that my boba's and bounty hunter still aren't going to taste like the first bottles I got...that really bums me out. They were my two favorite flavors.

Ya another deal is as mentioned all over the place here I find the better I do at drinking up mass quantities of good ole water the better my flavors come through. But even so the big bottles arent as tasty as the littler ones.
Wont be long I'll be reordering small bottle or two of some the two main ones that I've noticed this with and I'll post if they are better than the 2 30's I'm working on now..

So I asked Ben at AVE about this...explained that other people have said the same thing about 30ml vs sample size. Nice guy! Answered me really quick. Here is an excerpt from his email

"I'm not going to be much help here because all of our bottles (big and small) are made to order, so your sample bottle and 30ml had the same time outside of the package."

I know you guys had this problem with other vendors but I figured I'd ask him because there was a definite change in the sample of Boba's I got and the 30ml I got a week later. So what do you guys think? Something about the size of the bottles making it taste different? I'm stumped.

I wonder if it could be the excitement effect , you know...you order a new juice sample size to try it...wait 3 or more days on the mailman...WOOT there it is...load it vape it woohoo its good...then order a bunch cause it rocks...wait 3 or more days.....WOOT there it is... but by then your used to it and the new bigger bottle is just not as exciting...?

i don't know. my roommate isn't into vaping...he absolutely loved the sample bottle of Boba's I got, as did I. But as for the 30ml he agreed wasn't even that good. It tastes like a completely different juice. I guess it's just the luck of the batch.

Hope this is not the case here. I have 2 30ml Boba's due in Monday.

let us know if you think it's any different. i'm quite curious now.

 

[Sedateme]

I got a sample of Boba's the week before last. Ordered a 30ml bottle and got it this last week. It tasted just fine to me. I have noticed that if I vape Boba's all day (which I do) I need to vape something else for a bit. When I go back to the Boba's, it does taste better. I have the Boba's in a tank, and a few times a day I'll switch to an atty and vape something lighter for a bit, then put the tank back on.

 

[Irons]

I buy the 100 ML jugs of alien visions flue cured and never notice a difference in flavor.

They are top of the line though and that may make a difference, the stuff ain't cheap.

 

[mustanggt98]

Same exact thing has been happening to me. Do you mind telling me who the vendor is?

The vendor I got my juice from has ALOT of people complaining about juice quality and taste. They also think the vendor is selling knock off juice and calling it dekang. I personally think the small 5-10ml bottles are real dekang, but anything 30ml and above is fake.
