Capella No Taste

[michaelsil1]

I had the Capella Sweet Tangerine and it was great I reordered some more from Capella and now I'm not getting any flavor. I don't know if it's me my taste buds or what. Has anyone else noticed anything different? I thought I saw someone mention that the Chocolate Fudge Brownie had a lot less flavor than before.

I don't know, but if you send me all your Sweet Tangerine flavoring I am willing to test it and let you know what I will know when I know.

The same has happened to me with their blueberry. I'm not vaping it at the moment...I'll try it again in a few weeks and see what happens

My tangerine purchase from last month is rather punchy, actually. Kinda like Tang when I used it at 10%; I can't even imagine what it would be like at 15%. Perhaps you're going through a taste bud change and the flavor just isn't registering for you right now?

And fwiw if anyone else finds the tangerine way powerful: a few drops of cranberry somehow managed to reign it in. Don't ask me how two sours combine to make a not-so-sour, but that's what happened.

I order Capella's regularly and got one bottle of lemon meringue pie that had NO flavor. I think it just happens. I would suggest testing other similar flavors, if you still have an issue with taste then it might be your taste buds going wonky. If not it was just a bad bottle.

Hmmm..........
Mixed 3 drops in 3ml a few weeks ago. Used about 1/2 and had no Tangerine flavor, but some citrus bite. Added 5 drops to the remaining portion and let sit for a day. Still had no flavor. Wonder if it was a batch issue. Mine was purchased about 3-4 weeks ago. Time gets away from me.

So I'm not the only one having problems with this batch.

Lets see. Mine is LOT #A4664
Has a decent/nice smell in concentrated form.

This is probably the most logical answer. I have a third bottle and it definitely smells stronger.

A couple of Capella flavors I recently ordered are FAR weaker than what I received before. I still wonder if the purpose of their sale prices was to unload old or bad (didn't meet spec) inventory.

This is also why I never order fish specials at restaurants. The last time I got blue crab via the "special of the day", I almost gagged from the rotted smell that they tried to mask by drowning it in soy sauce.

I knew I had read where people were saying some of the new stuff was weak!



This really makes it hard for us newcomers! I first thought I buried the primary flavor with another then come to find out the primary flavor is missing. Very discouraging.

 

[crxess]

Great, so are we thinking 1/2 price is 1/2 flavor?

Don't know, but there is defiantly something different with my current bottle. If enough people are experiencing the same thing then we can make an assumption.

What is the lot # on your bottle michaelsil1?

 

[Brian Stevens]

Lets see. Mine is LOT #A4664
Has a decent/nice smell in concentrated form.

I got mine about a month ago and it is the same lot # as yours. Mine smells fine but the taste def seems lighter or weaker than previous bottles Ive had of ST.

lot#a4404 ................

 

[SouthernBliss]

Mine is LOT #A4664

Same lot as mine and I had sort of wondered if there was something really wrong with me because I did not get much flavor at all from the suggested percentage. Overall it was sort of "blah".

 

[Caridwen]

Mine is lot #A4531. A lot of flavor. It's the first time I ordered their flavoring and found them all pretty strong.

But I have had this happen in the past with flavorings though.

Could be..

I found it a bit too much alone too. I added coconut and sweet cream and it tasted like a tropical life saver.
