well i actually have a complaint and thats shocking, but the german chocolate cake hv liquid just killed my atty, i look at the bottle and half of it has this white thick stuff in it on top the juice, i shook it up to mix but it smells like pure burnt plastic as you vape and was extra thick and killed my 901 in 1 minute. im horrified, not that i lost the atty but the awful smell is still in my head.

The German Chocolate flavor was disappointing for me as well. I didn't use it long enough to kill an atty though. The first puff was yummy, the second, not so much, after a few more I couldn't get the taste out of the atty and I really didn't like it. I washed the atty and then gave up on it as it was old and I just got new ones. It's somewhere in the mess that is my room while we are remodeling. I gave the juice to my little bro to try (along with an old atty so as not to ruin a good one)
and am waiting to see what he thinks. I know taste is subjective and flavors also tend to taste different after the first time you try them...but I am scared to try it again :oops: .

no it wasnt just the taste, this juice was spoiled 100%, there was white stuff covering the juice, and it smells and taste like burnt plastic, and its awful and this gunk destroyed the atty, it was like thick and gunky, even when i shake it , that doesnt help mix it, I will just take the atty loss and the juice loss as part of the hobby , but now i cant vape all day cause this smell and taste is vial. anything i try just has this plastic aftertaste in my mind now.

I have the Choc German Cake and I do not have any dark spots nor any kind of residue as your suggesting.. I would email Drew and let him know about it.. I am sure he will take care of it. Lori B
As far as the other HV I have every flavor Drew has available, samples and bigger bottles and not 1 of them is watery. I have never ever even at 24 mg got a "watery liquid" from Drew.. I came here from other vendor juices and THEIRS was watery.. I have not purchased much juice from anywhere else since I have tried Drew's in July.
Anyone else have watery liquids?? I got the new ones in and nothing is watery in them either. I have one hell of time squeezing the thick juice out of the bottle! =)

    Somewhere between here and there
    I have noticed different juices are thicker than others. I don't buy alot of HV liquids because the 12mg just isn't strong enough for me even at 5/6v with the xhaler. I have noticed that my 555 is thicker than my 555 menthol but both vape great and I have no complaints there. The cafe mocha hv that I got seems really thick though and am a little afraid it will gunk up my atty.

    Neither here nor there
    I know what you're saying about it taking some effort to get the HV juice to drip out of the bottle since it's so thick. I thought I'd accidently dislodge the dripper top and shoot it right out of the neck of the bottle! I fixed it by shoving a straightened-out big paperclip down through the drip top. This opened it enough to where the thick juice drips like normal juice.

    Well my issue isnt with drews hv juice being thick or not, i love all his juices, i have ordered many 30ml bottles and i have been extremly happy, yeah one or 2 juices arent for me flavor wise but not everyones bud tastes are the same.

    I recently ordered all the flavors i havent tried in samplers, i fell in love with pina colada, i really like the peanut butter cup, the ry4 is on my list as a top fav as well butterscotch is amazing and i havent touched the rest yet.

    But todau i was looking forward to trying the german choc cake, i looked at the bottle first like i always do and 3/4 of the way up looked like the juice and then from 3/4 up to the top of the bottle was this white thick stuff, they wherent mixed, one was layered on top of the other, i tried to shake it but it didnt really shake, so i poored 3 drops onto the atty and it came out white like, and beyond thick . I started to vap and immediatly smelled burnt plastic, i then squeezed out this white stuff which itself smelled like plastic.

    thejuice itself was ruined becuase it had this stuff in it as well, and i tested this white stuff on another bad atty i had and this white gunk was the cause of the plastic smell.

    Now im not complaining, i dont want any freebies, thats not the point, im just telling you folk this crazy issue i had, i looked at all the other juices and they are fine.

    badkolo:

    Personally I don't think I would have even put that liquid on ym atty if it didn't mix together when you shook it. Take a pic or something and send it to Drew, I have very little doubt he'll take care of you, as he has so many others.

    To the OP:
    I have also definitely noticed a difference in thickness between different liquids, I just chalk it up to a difference in consistency of the flavorings that are put into the liquid.

    Seems the darker the liquids the "thicker" most of them seem to be. But hell, as long as I can drip em, they have all been great.

    About to send in my next order once I can decide on the next set of flavors to try :)

    Sorry I didnt respomd here earlier...Badkolo...The german choclate definatly needs to be shaken...The lomger it sits the more...If you smelled plastic....Im not sure what that could be but please send it back so I can check it out...


    As far as the consistency of the liquid...SOme are concentrated flavorings and some are larger amounts of flavoring so the consitency can absolutley vary...All HV liquids are thicker than the regular liquids though... Thanks

    Drew thanks, i will send it back, you can still smell whats in it and if you vape it you will get the plastic smell but i did squeeze out the gunk but its still in the juice for sure. But please to you and to the posters understand im not complaining and in no way want anyone to think drew has bad juice in any way.

    It was a freek thing im sure, i want nothing in return, im not complaining other then expressing the issue.
     
    I tried the hv banana creme, no throat hit whatsoever, in a cartomizer, on a 901 atty or a 510 atty, very disappointing.

    Throat hit-schmoat hit! I absolutely LOVE that flavor. You made me get up and drip some. Nom nom nom nom nom! :w00t: ...Actually, I'm getting a decent throat hit from it, but I prefer the lesser throat hit and better than average vapor production I'm getting. It doesn't feel like smoke, it feels and tastes like I'm exhaling banana flavored whipped cream and I love it!

    I'd say you could send it to me since you don't like it, but I'd recommend that you try it again sometime when you're in the mood for something different. I've noticed that some flavors I didn't care for when I first tried them became my new favorite later on (Like peanut butter cup--I was amused by it, but didn't really care to vape it at first...but now I always have at least one atty with Banana Creme or Peanut Butter Cup (or both with a nod to Elvis!) in it at all times. :)

    But have you tired mixing the two??? Heavenly!! One of my fav combos is chocolate, peanut butter and bananas...made a crapload of shakes when I was preggos 17 yrs ago LOL. The juice combo is much less fattening LOL!!

    I'm weaning down nic so I actually dilute down my peanut butter cup and add some banana flavoring. It was okay at 3.7 but now that I'm rocking it in the Xhaler at higher voltage the flavor is freaking AWESOME even diluted down to 2-3mgs of nic!!! If I could handle the nic load I'd be mixing your two favs pronto!! Heavenly combo!! Amazing how the voltage changes or atty changes make the flavors change...come alive!
