Disgusting e-liquid tastes like chemicals

Anyone know of an online e-liquid supplier that has juice that DOESN'T taste like chemicals?

I've heard that virginvapor is a good one.. Has anyone ordered juice from there?

I've recently tried e-liquids from MFS and all four that I tried, even a regular "tobacco" flavored e-juice had a horrible, headache-inducing chemical taste.

I've not had a lot of luck with tobacco flavors - except for Halo, most of them taste very perfumey or chemically.

There is a whole sub forum dedicated to juices right here on ECF and it's well worth a look.

Taste is really subjective so I suggest doing some more research, but I have had a lot of luck with Mount Baker Vapor. They sell smaller bottles (which are actually 15mls) for 4.99, which is great value.

I highly recommend going to several websites and getting sampler juice selections, then when you find a juice you like, you can order larger sizes.

Good luck and welcome to the ECF.

How long did you steep (wait around while they mature) the juices? Especialy the tobbaco since I hear they often have a longer steep time than even other complex flavors? If your trying things the day they come and find that they have a chemical or perfumy flavor often the e-liquid is just to fresh. I had one that was vile day one and astonishingly good 2 weeks later.

possibly dumb questions.....
if they all taste chemmy could it be your delivery system or not wicking properly? plastic taste? what is your ecig setup/gear?

ETA: especially if you are getting headaches....

Good point HRS! I gave a couple MT3s to a new Vaper and one of them had a plastic taste with both flavors we put in it. Then I found a thread about it and saw others have had this issue. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...64-new-kanger-t3-gross-taste.html#post8663319

Totally sounds like a steeping issue. The flavors need to mellow and come together. Tobaccos tend to need more time than non tobacco liquid. It's tough in the beginning because you don't have a supply to allow new deliveries to sit aside and do their thing. Take the" tolerable" one and set aside the others. You still may not like them after a week but, they'll be more like their intended flavor...

I like creamy flavours because I find fruity ones taste chemical-like


I love fruity flavors, but I find I MUST let those steep awhile. Most of them taste godawful chemical/soapy to me straight out of the new bottle. One was so bad I was wondering if hubby had washed the clearomizers and heads with dish soap or something. But 3 weeks later it was fine.
