I've steeped Adirondack liquid for 2 weeks. When I tried it tastes exactly like maxboro. What went wrong? Is it supposed to be like that? I was expecting something new. Totally disappointed.

Not sure? I do not get anything related to Backo ( there is no more maxborro 
)
With Adirondack I get a straight up tobacco flavor. Far less sweet than dons other tobaccos and a more natural element. I can really tast that it is a natural extraction in this brew. I also get some mild earthy undertones.

2 weeks might not be a long enough steep... Some take 4-6 weeks!
I've been using BWB juices for a while, so Im not worried... BUT
I got adirdack/backo/virginia/hunter's blend... tried them right out of the mail, they taste very very similar... but I know that in a month they'll be totally unique!
Give it some time! If time doesn't do it, what sort of equipment are you using? Some PV/atty combos are better than others at bringing out flavors.

I am using Riva. adirondack,becko,hunter's blend,maxboro tastes the same no matter how many months/years u steep. I steeped maxboro,hunter's etc for months ..but no use. I use Boge LR cartos. I have tried enough experimentation with LR attys,clearomizers,jumbo LR cartos..nothign works like Boge LR cartos.
Virginia,casablanca,blast etc are my favourites though and love them

From the sound of it the base I use for the tobacco in alot of the blends is not for you Shane as all the ones you mentioned do have some of the base of the Backo (AKA Maxboro)
I stopped using Boge cartomizers ages ago, as I found they really muffled the taste of ALL my liquids (and burned through liquid WAY too fast), and switched to dripping. There are new XL dual coil 510 cartos floating around which have renewed my faith in cartos, and actually kicked my .... with flavor. And I have tried em all.
I do understand that some of the tobaccos appear to blend in with each other. It took me some time before I was able to get the nuances of different tobaccos. 555 tasted like Virginia, etc.

I can taste the undertones similar to max...er um backo but it is uniquely different to me......I do have a solution if you want my address just let me know
LOL!
Cartos just arent really known for producing great flavor... I've tried a lot of them, they just dont do it for me.
OP grab yourself an LR atty and a drip tip...
Ive been dripping now for almost a year and have tried about every combo of things out there and there really is no comparison in the way it makes the flavors taste and perform. I find almost everything else to subdue flavors and after dripping for so long it just becomes second nature and even driving in the car I dont realize im doing it
Amen... thanks for suggesting this to me, too... one of the best decisions I've made!
Well i aint exactly dripping...just doing it from the bottom....LOL....3 bottom feeders
I'm doing lots of driving and will be doing tons more during my household move. Any good tips for dripping while driving. I'm quite awkward with it.
Pay attention to the road LOL. It takes some getting used to but after some practice it almost seems like you dont know you are doing it
LOL. Not too much traffic on the roads I'm driving. I don't drip if there's a car approaching from another direction or if I think the car behind me may pass. I could put some blue filler in during those trips, but after dripping for several weeks, don't think I would like that very much. Of course, another solution is for me to pull over and drip. 
Keep both wrists on the top of the wheel and have your PV in one hand and the bottle in the other... you can glance down and make sure the drops are getting in your drip tip... even though your concentration is on the pv/bottle in front of you, you can still see the road the background...
Thanks - that's sort of what I'm doing. I need to enlarge the holes a little bit in my BWB Malty and MT - takes a long time for those drips to drop.
