Casablanca...uhh...

[Joedoe32]

I ordered some Casablanca blend about a week or two ago, and even though I saw quite a bit about letting it steep first, I always have to try it right out of the box. And...eh... It has a strong powdery flavor. I have experienced this once before early on in my vaping when ordering a flavor called "Green Monster" from EC Blends. Tastes like I'm vaping a stick of deodorant. I let it steep for about a week and just took it back out to try again. Bit better, but still a very strong powder taste. The Peach I ordered has only gone from good to better, but I was curious if anyone has run into this powdery flavor with the Casablanca or any other flavors from any vendor.

I went ahead and tried an older cleaned atty and then a brand new one, but still that flavor...

Casa is a flavor that many people believe needs to steep for several weeks... so I am not surprised. One thing that you can do to shorten the steeping time is to leave the cap off (in a location it will not be knocked over by you or a pet) for about a day and then put it back on. Having it open to the air seems to allow it to steep quicker than in a closed container.

If you were already doing that, then please ignore my post, but I suspect that you were doing what I usually do and steeping it with the cap on the bottle. Correct?

I went ahead and did the one night without the cap as I usually do. I don't notice much steeping in any flavor unless I let it set for 2-4 weeks. I hope that it'll get better in the next couple weeks. But that was my immediate impression. I haven't given up on it yet. =P

Ummmm.... I just got a bottle 3 days ago and I liked it right out of the mail box. I have only been vaping for a week so maybe my taste buds are still blunted by all those years of smoking.
Be Well.

This is a flavor I once tried right out of the mailbox and hated so much that I put it down until one day I was just about out of everything else, so I opened it back up and gave it another go. Much to my surprise, months later, I loved it. It needs to steep for sure, but also I think my tastes had changed quite a bit. Give it some time. Also, its an unusual flavor that may just not be for you...

 

[Joedoe32]

I can say that now, weeks later =P, that the flavor really has changed substantially. That powdery taste is gone, and the it's much better.

Though, after reading/hearing a few things, I found that it's supposed to have a coco taste to it? I don't get any coco at all. No chocolatey taste, just a smokey taste with some real spice behind it. I kinda dig it that way, but in small doses.

Just an update. =D

i got a bottle of casablanca friday and i didn't like it... oh well i guess ill try it again in 2 weeks

I got my first bottle of Casablanca on Friday and let it steep for a day with the cap off to get rid off the alcohol taste and i'm loving it. It seems to have an after taste like a butter finger or a nutty bar which is really nice and actually not very sweet, I hope that taste doesn't go away as it steeps longer.

I just got my secund bottle yesterday. I am kind of perplexed. The color is much lighter than the first bottle and the taste is muted. It's 80 / 20 PG/VG. And I just refilled the tank I was useing not a new clean tank.

All bwb juice is 70pg/30vg, all but two. The two maltys are 70vg/30pg. Not sure where you got 80/20 and all juice will change color some with age.

I assume it's 80/20. I asked Don if he would mix it that way. Anyway yes I figured it out , needs to rest a bit.
