I went to a vape shop tried juice loved it. Got 4 30 ml bottles all different flavors. They ALL suck. Scratchy on my throat and not great on flavor. It's only 12mg but pretty much unvapeable. I have an mvp2 with nautilus tank. I can't stand the fact that I have yet to find decent juice. I like the nautilus but I think it mutes the flavor. Are there any tanks that are better? And where can I get good juice but not spend a lot of money? I really need help.

Did they mix the juice for you before you bought it? Many shops make it right in front of you and most liquids benefit from steeping. For store bought coils the nautilus is fairly respected on here. Never used one myself but I've learned if that many ppl on here like it, there's a reason. But everyone has their own sweet spot to find. A t3s is a my favorite tank that uses stock coils. It's also pretty cheap.

I'm not sure y there was an issue. I went home after buying the juice. I tried the flavors on the sample bar they had and what the sold me on two separate occasions did not match up to what I had tried

It is possible that the juice you were sold had just been made (if it was a house juice) and needs some time to age. Put it in a cool cabinet and shake the bottles 3-4 times a week. Sample once a week. The flavors may get better over time - especially if they are complex flavors.

I am getting into DIY but I do currently purchase most of my juice from Ahlusion. They make some phenomenal flavors!

The juice is said to be made in the US sent to the shop. It is made just for that shop and has the shop logo on it. I was told it shouldn't need steeping but I have had it for close to two months by now and I try it every so often but it just gets worse.

Let it sit for a day or two with the caps off. After that, put the caps back on and every day give it a good shake for at least a week. I also found that some flavor types require more steeping and shaking then say a tobacco flavor. Any lemonaide flavor seems to need at least one month to steep before it mellows out.

I also rarely buy shop juice anymore, just because of the problem you described. I taste them at the shop and when I get them home they don't taste the same. If they rebrand their juices and won't tell me who the supplier is, I tend to shy away, only because we know some shops it's about profit margins and I want to make sure I know it's safe to vape.

Another thing to think about is... do you have a burnt coil? What kind of tank are you using? What mod are you using? And do you know the % of PG in the liquid?

I was having the same issue, trying all sorts of juice from cheap too stupid expensive. Nothing hit for me then i stumbled upon Nicotickit and Madtown vapes both are my go to vendors for all my juice. Nicotickit has quickly become my ADV source when i want to switch it up i drip some madtown! You may want to give them a try however like it has been said time and time again taste is subjective but you will find something that works for you! Hopefully sooner then later!
