Okay, I let me CLS and CB steep for over a month now and it still tastes... chemically? I don't know how to explain it but I'm not getting any of the flavors that are being reported. Same thing happened with Strawnilla. Is something wrong with me? :unsure:

I'm on my phone so I can't see your sig. How long since you've quit smoking? Could it be a VT thing going on?

I suppose it could be a VT thing but I haven't had trouble with any other flavors? I haven't smoked since the beginning of the year. I really want to taste this liquid! It smells amazing but all I get is chemical when I vape it. I've tried it on rayon and japanese cotton.

Your wicking looks ok too then. I'm about to lose service. But will check back in !

I allowed mine to steep for about a month! I am using a clearomizer tank on top of the Silver Bullet. Maybe the wick is somehow "catching" the chemical taste so I can't taste it? I don't know. But girl, this stuff is good. I so wish I could help you!

Have you tried Frenilla?
And do you get the same thing?

If so they all use the same vanilla extract, and you may just not like it.
But that said, I also think they need a minimum of 3 months steep to be at their full yumminess, so maintain hope!

I just want to say you're not the only one Taylor. I gave away my CLS, and Switch, Band Camp and Strawnilla will soon see the same fate. I want to love all the NT juices but if I buy something and have to put it in a cabinet for a month for it to become a good vape it's not worth much to me. Or juices that I need to buy something else to mix with them to make them enjoyable.

This is why I stick with what works right out of the mailbox The Virus, Wakonda, GCD, Betelguese, and Gravity for right now. I am excluding the ones I do like FOOB that are not available at this time or wont be Sure Bert, B-Puddin, and Roundhouse mainly. I know that sounds kind of harsh but I would rather be honest than not.

I have ran them in tanks at 1.8-1.6 ohms and in mechs around .8 to .4 and lower and in Reo's around .7-.5 and lower and I just don't get the hype about them. It very well could be that with my limited time into vaping my taste buds are not the same as others but I have trouble with that because some of the juice tastes absolutely amazing to me.

Those are all my favorites, too. The Virus, Wakonda, PBC, Got Cookie, and GCD are my go tos. Gravity or BG when I need something different. I bought 50 mils of SPC when it was released and as much as I love pumpkin, it hasn't hit for me yet. If I mix it with something it does. But not on it's own.

I'm actually dripping the Frenilla you sent me now. :D I'm enjoying it but the chemical taste is still in the background.
I think the vanilla extract may be what it is. That sucks so bad. :(

I am going to recommend some steps that has helped me along the way:

Get you a bottle of Biotene, rinse with it twice a day after brushing your teeth
Increase your water intake. Even if you already drink a lot, drink a bit more. Plain water, tea, coffee, and flavored waters don't count.
Leave all juices alone that have vanilla or custard.

Do this for 1 week. You can do it.

Set up a clean build and try just one. After drinking a glass of water. You are trying to cleanse your palette, don't cloud it with flavors until you try your vape.

I had to do this for some flavors that just were not there for me in my first year. Year 2, I would just vape unflavored for a few days. Year 3, I no longer have need to do any of these things. I don't get Vapers Tongue anymore.

I have to admit I just poured out some PBC after a test when it had been in my steep box since the beginning of October and my Got Cooki3 went up to trade. I would've liked to try the SPC because I love pumpkin pie but missed out on it. The Strawnilla is the one that confuses me the most I never did taste a strawberry taste at all not even a hint of it, just tasted like CLS to me.
