I am trying out all the flavors I got from Sweet-Vapes yesterday and I was wondering if anyone had tried the Kona Latte flavor and noticed a slightly burnt taste. I am not sure if it is just part of the flavor or if it is a problem with the clearomizer. (My wonderful husband was using it last night and when I checked it this morning he had drained the liquid and I'm not sure if perhaps he was using it outside in the dark while it was empty and if that might make it taste burnt.) Either way I didn't notice it until I'd been using it for a little while. I am new to the clearomizers (they are from Smokeless Image) so I don't know all the quirks about burnt flavors, etc. yet.

Does anyone know if this is just part of the flavor or if I've ruined my clearomizer? I don't want to waste more flavors by adding them to a bad clearomizer.

Appreciate any help!

I've tried a few coffee flavors from different vendors, and some of them do come across as being slightly burnt or of at least "old coffee that has been in the pot all day" taste. If you are able to determine that it is indeed the juice and not the clearomizer, I would at least contact the vendor and see if anything can be done. They do make bad batches occassionally, and if enough people notify them, an agreement of some sort can be made to replace the juice.

Some coffee flavors need a week or two to steep, or mature. Initial taste right out of the bottle can be nasty, but a couple weeks of steeping in a dark area (and shaking the bottle a couple of times in that period) can allow a juice to transform into something wonderful. That happened with me with Virgin Vapor's organic coffee velvet milkshake. I didn't care for it at all at first, put it away for a couple of weeks, tried it again, and it is now one of my favorite 2 or 3 juices. Currently on my second 1 oz bottle, with another bottle steeping.

If that doesn't work, I've doctored up some less-than-satisfactory coffee juices by adding either vanilla, sweetener, or cream flavoring to the coffee flavor. A couple of drops worth if it is in a clearomizer, you can always add more.

Did you notice if the clearo that your wonderful husband used was dry (burned) before you filled it with the new juice? Did you clean the clearo before adding the new flavor?
