Do You Find Inconsistency In Flavor

[Blueser]

I recently made a sample order (name withheld) and one of the 5ml samples I received was absolutely delicious right off the mail truck. I immediately made an order for a 60ml bottle. I've had this for about a week, shake the hell out of it every chance I get. I understand that some juice has to steep and some more than others....but this, OMG, it is tasting awful. The dominate flavor I loved in the sample is non-existent.

I have recently experienced inconsistency from one of my favorite vendors. I had ordered multiple 30ml bottles of this flavor and when they had an incredible sale I ordered two 60ml bottles. One for me and one for a friend who also uses this juice regularly. I finished a whole 30ml bottle before tapping the 60 so it had been steeping for almost a month. The 60 just didn't taste the same and I have even dropped it from my rotation after using this juice daily for many months before. I wondered if my taste was changing or if there was a problem with this bottle, then my friend told me he was also experiencing a marked change in his 60 I got for him. Pretty disappointing as I was really confident in this vendor and I will be rethinking any future orders..

My guess is that the samples are pre-steeped while larger orders are made fresh? Also I've noticed larger bottles take longer to steep for whatever reason. Keep shaking and see what happens. Also, leave the cap off for a night to let any alcohol evaporate!

I left the cap off two nights. I have the bottle sitting besides my laptop exhaust. This juice is absolutely void of any flavor at this point, taste like I'd imagine a straight mixture of pg/vg would taste. Are there any measures (besides the recipe) that vendors take or should take to insure consistency...after all, it's only takes one or two at best inconsistent orders to lose a great customer.

I think there is definitely some flavor inconsistencies, sometimes. Now, whether that is due to actual mix proportions being off, steeping, or something else....I don't know. For instance, I love my butter pecan flavor. The first day is alright, second day is delicious! Stays delicious up until about 3-4 weeks, and then I hate the flavor all together. I've just been ordering/making smaller batches of ejuice and I find that flavor inconsistencies happen less often, if it all.

I'm sure that there could be a million reasons why this happens. I'm curious too, I'm following this thread to see what other people think.

That's just bizarre! Sounds like someone screwed up and you should contact the vendor

I've had some inconsistencies from vendors like MBV. Green Ice used to have some mint overtones but my last order is devoid of mint, just green apple. They may have changed the recipe however.
