I thought the same thing, for some reason my BB and GJ taste different to me than last time, but I'm going to let them steep a bit longer before I worry. The BB still tastes great but as of now its not as sweet as it I remember it. I use 12mg. I ordered for the Black Friday sale.

Only thing I can think of was that it was raining badly the days during shipment to me in my area, so the general law of juices to store them in a "dry" cool place comes to mind. Anyone have any issues with this or think it could possible? It wasn't warm near me, so I'm going with the moisture.

Grabbed a 100ml 2 weeks ago to break in my mini and just popped it open after a 2 week steep. Doesn't seem to have the sweetness that my 30ml bottle had. Any suggestions? I did switch it up from their 12 to 18mg nic lvl, could that be the problem?

Thanks guys/gals

Nic strength definitely has an effect on flavor, but I have to admit...I've shied away from ordering 100ml bottles after having had this experience more than twice. There is no logical reason for it, I know Ben electronically measures every ingredient.

For some reason I've just spooked myself into just paying a little more for multiple 30ml bottles, as I've never had this issue with them. Who knows. Could've just been my taste buds at the time.

EDIT: I should've mentioned, it wasn't Boba's or GJ I had this experience with. It was Flue Cured.

did the same and agree with your findings....
Same story,

got a good black friday order in and took a chance stepping down the nic strength on my bb. although i'd have to agree with jif that the spicyness is definitely more subtle, the overall taste is a little less... there? i really think it's a steeping thing. hope so anyway, can't wait for dec. 10th

i thought it was all up in my head, but i'll 2nd that my last order of 100ml is not quite as sweet as i remember (or what is still left in another old 100 ml bottle). i attributed it to aging, but they taste very different... i always had a hard time picking up any tobacco notes from the old stuff, but the latest is more robust. having said that i still friggin love it :)

I ordered a bunch of BB and GJ on Blake Friday and noticed it tastes weird too. Much less sweet, and actually has a smoky flavor. Not aweful, but definitely not the BB and GJ I originally fell in live with.

I am having the same issue. Just opened my GJ bottle I got during the sale & it does not taste remotely like GJ, it doesn't even smell like it. I just finished my last 100ml bottle this morning & went to fill a carto from my new bottle (same carto's as I always use). I smelled the new bottle & the old bottle, different aroma. Smelled the new bottle against my boba's I have, different aroma. I even just tasted it on my tongue & it doesn't taste the same. GJ is my all day vape so I am not happy right now at all. I do not steep my juices, so I do not think this is an issue.
Plus I just wasted a prefectly good new carto as well :( I did submit a support ticket.
