Alright, so I've been vaping for a while now and lately I've noticed that I get juice in a shop and I vape it in the shop and I love it, same thing for that whole day, I love it. Then after that day it always turns harsh. I have an ipv2s and a doge v1 atomizer and an arctic subtank(which is what I always use) this has happened with multiple lines of juice with different PG/VG ratio, different flavors, but always 3mg nic. I've rewicked, rebuilt, and everything and its always harsh after the second day. Its good juice too, its not ....ty, so any ideas?
E-Juice is good when I buy it but turns harsh

Hmmm..... is it mixed when you buy it or is it already mixed before you buy? The reason that I ask is because I am wondering if the flavor is getting a bit stronger as it will with some steep time. Some flavors will become harsh if they are mixed on the strong side.
That's all I got. Good luck.

Id suggest an experiment to try and isolatevthe issue. You could do fresh builds in them, fresh wicks, then just vape on one the first day, next day juice up the second, etc. if you dont get that problem, you know its not the juice itself. Then you gotta try and isolate other common factors in your rigs that might change as its used. For instance, the materisl youre using for wire. Have you tried building with another brand of kanthal or a whole other material? Have you been using the same wicking material?
Is it possible that you took dome dry hits that scorched the wick, leaving that classic taste behind that doesnt go away until you change wick?
What resistance build are you using and what wattage are you using.
Couple days after you buy it, try the juice in a friends set up, too

I had the same experience, and all from the same former vendor. They also sold me one that was definitely a tank cracker with no warning at all. I suggest you try a different brand or vendor, Luke. I did, and never had the problem again.
Only thing I can suggest is that almost all vape shops use 0mg for samples. The addition of nicotine will make the e-liquid a little more harsh.
Saying that, you said that you are only vaping at 3mg so it seems unlikely that is the reason in this case
Apart from that, the only other thing I can suggest is you change one thing at a time - see if you can eliminate some variables.

This is the best suggestions that can be given on the subject.
I tried this and found out that the juice I was using was OK, but my technique was off and my wicks sucked.
Maybe buy some 0mg nic in the same flavour and mix the two to give it and overall of 1.5mg nic, this is what ive started doing as I am trying to wean myself completely off of the nicotine
Totally agree, I DIY and find this to be the case most often, especially when mixing high percentage flavor. And most shops do, thats why I started DIY.
Does it taste good with a fresh refill and a fresh coil or is it bad from the beginning? It could be the heat from you vaping that is changing the taste.
And it also depends on the nicotine they are using. Some are much harsher than others. I had tasted some juice from Beyond Vape at their B&M in NYC. Their testers are all 0 mg. I picked up some with 12 mg and the nicotine they are using are so peppery and harsh it was unvapeable. Even used in a Nautilus Mini, the nicotine burned my throat so much that I couldn't use it.
Are your coils getting gunked up by the second day you will definitely taste it when they get caked with it. If you got a coating of black crusty on them that may the taste you keep getting. Its probally the juice causing this try some other brand and see if it goes away.
Don't forget, when you try something in a Vape shop, more than likely it is nicotine free. Nicotine does change the flavor of the liqued, it makes it taste harsher.
Imo youre not gonna notice a real difference in flavor between 0 and 3 mg. totally negligible
