Typical newbie...I ordered samples from numerous suppliers. One entire batch had a VERY strong chemical smell (nothing like ANY of the others). In fact I could barely smell what each flavor was supposed to be even after being shaken and let sit for a couple of days. I decided to try one and it was horrid. Two puffs and I gave up, plenty of vapor but the chemical flavor almost burned. It was so bad I couldnt taste anything else I vaped for the rest of the day and that was in the morning :( . Eating and drinking didn't improve my tasting abilities either. What in the world went wrong? Is this all just worthless and should I just toss them?

I know just what you're saying.There are some brands that just won't cure itself of the chemical or perfume taste and smell, even if you steep for over a month. I don't know what is added to the juice to cause this. I've sampled most flavorings and most will steep out so they are vapable. I bought a Marlboro juice from a company over a month ago and have been trying to steep out a baby powder taste and smell. It is so strong that I won't mix it with other juices to use it up. I won't sell it or even give it away, it's that bad. Just won't buy from that company again. I've been lucky because in two years of juice buying, I only had three juices that wouldn't mellow out enough to at least mix with other juices to use up. I have bought MANY that I just didn't like, but it wasn't because of foul smell and taste. If the juice you are talking about is that bad, contact the seller to see if it's a bad batch. Most good sellers will help you out.

I would say its a low grade of Nic the supplier used

Can be the flavoring too:( I make my own juice and have several flavorings from the two most popular vendors that can't be vaped. It's like spraying perfume in my mouth and nose and there's no nic in those flavorings:( I've mixed them with pure VG to test them out and the perfume is overpowering.

I emailed the vendor and basically got the same "let it steep a bit longer" so I'm shelving them in a dark corner like an embarrassing secret LOL. They can just sit and steep. I'll go back to stalking the mail lady for my next two batches hehe this one from Vaporbomb and Mrs.T's so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping to finally find my "all day vape" so I can just order a BIG batch and not worry about this anymore until I'm brave enough to try making my own =) I did find out a few good things from all these sample bottles. 1st the good ones never last long enough. 2nd I like sweet and fruity flavors and those are in abundance it seems. I just need to find the "right" ones =/
