Ok, so, a couple weeks ago I found a coupon code for awesome deal on juice. And, since my budget is tight, I thought why not? After ordering, I asked about the vendor here on ECF, but no one had heard of or used electroniccigarrettefast.combut, the reviews on the site were good. so, I waited. I must say I was a little disappointed by the tiny sticker that had the flavor name (which twice fell off one bottle). But, the shipping was fast, well packaged, and I was excited! That quickly faded. Every juice smelled good, but has VERY strong perfume on exhale. After putting them in the dark and shaking daily for a few days, I took all the caps off, let them sit for a week, like I had read here, but still perfume. I cant get the smell out of my cartos or tanks. So, I wonder.. Is there hope for them? Will the perfume ever go away? or should I count this as a lesson learned?

Thanks choc_addict. Yea, sadly, I had already ordered when I found the forum. Believe me, now I do my research! :) Ive been analog free 31 days, and Im still struggling for juice flavors! Im very picky, but I have learned that I like sweet. The flavors I tried from MBV I didnt care for, but that was when I had only been vaping for a few days and my tastes were messed up, and I still thought I needed tobacco or drink flavors. Lol, live and learn!

You have a "maybe" on your hands. When I've run across that problem with a vendor it has taken up to a month for that perfume/floral odor to dissipate. With the caps off... Sitting on top of the air conditioner - figure any kind of vibration is gonna help it along...

I tend to not reorder from those places. Even if I get that odor to dissipate I'm never happy with the liquids anyway.

Shopping tip of the day: Try a sample pack from The Vapor Room.

I ordered from them too. They posted a sale here on this forum: $1.50 for 10ml. Gullible me orders 7 10ml bottles. Half the bottles didn't have the correct nic level I ordered; all the bottles smelled and tasted bad. I still have 6 full bottles (I used 1 bottle on some weeds in the front yard).

After a month of steeping, they're still bad. I'm going to save them for dandelion season next spring.

First PUT THE TOPS BACK ON. Airing out strong fragrances should only be done for a few hours or over night at most. After that, keep them sealed and shake daily.

List the Flavors you purchased.
Different type mixes take different Steeping times.

Many ECBlends Mixes are very perfumy but after steeping for a few weeks become nice liquids.

Eliquids look to be unbranded Hangsen Flavors - Supplied bottles/labels and made to order from large containers of premixed flavoring. Not an uncommon practice.

Guessing you did not notice they have Sample Sizes? 3ml bottles.

Never accept ALL 5 Star ratings - that is a sure sign they filter customer reviews and only publish the best.
Never assume anything anyone highly recommends will be spot on for you. Everyones taste is different.

Ah RiceNoodle, thats the deal I got too. I ordered 5...all in 24mg. And u are correct, no labels, just nic warning and sticker stating the flavor, which kept falling off.

Crxess....I didnt do samplers bc the special on 10ml was cheaper. But Yes, I am learning about reviews!
My flavors were:

Watermelon (cant even describe)
Cherry (think Sucrets..and perfume..eww)
Banana (not)
Mixed fruit (perfume in the worst)
Coffee (burnt perfume)

Sdh.. Thanks, I will visit them! :)

Rickadjo... I appreciate the info. Ill check them out! And for sure, they will not be a reorder!

The flavor level at TVR is pretty intense on their fruit/sweet stuff. DON'T order with extra flavor the first time out! Just about anything is good there. I'm not into sweet all that much but the Cinnamon Danish Swirl is amazing. They do have a Cola and it tastes like RC or Pepsi. But I can never get past the "no bubbles - it's flat" problem with vaping soda flavors. Chocolate fudge brownie, chocolate mint (can't recall the name for that one right now...), Peaches & Cream, Lemon Meringue, Waffle, Pumpkin Spice, Apple Pie , Gingerbread - like them all. It appears I've tried more fruit/sweets from TVR than I realized. :) I usually don't buy sweet stuff - apparently except with this place!

How to work the best deal at The Vapor Room on a first time order:

You can get samplers in ten 3 ml or five 6 ml sizes. Honestly? - better off getting the 6 ml's. Cost per ml is cheaper and if you find something you really love a tiny 3 ml size only leads to heartache and disappointment once that bitty bottle is gone. You get to pick anything from the flavor line - these aren't pre-selected flavors you are stuck with.

Every first time order gets a free 15 ml bottle. You get to pick your flavor choice, nic level and PG/VG ratio for that one too.

Every order gets a free 3 ml sample. You can request flavors even for that one, but being it's a freebie you don't always get what you ask for. But you always get something.

Use coupon code THANKYOU to get 10% off your order.

Shipping is only $4.00

Add it all up and... it comes to $22.00, including shipping. If you did the 6 ml sampler that gets you a total of 48 ml's - including the free 15 ml bottle and the 3 ml sample covering 8 different flavors.

Beyond that, if you are feeling really daring they have 5 weekly flavor specials that change every Monday. that would be a 30 ml bottle for $10.00 or a 15 ml "weekender" that is either $7.00 or $5.00. Being it's the "weekender" it's $5.00 on the weekend...

TVR is gonna be so far above the pay scale for that stuff you just tried. I can't guarantee you will love it - that whole "...it's subjective" thing - but it's very good stuff. If you have tried Mt. Baker this is the next step above Mt. Baker.

www.myfreedomsmokes.com man... excellent prices, almost any flavor available, and they all so far taste good enough to satisfy me which is nearly impossible.

BTW, they have a really cheap deal on samples, it's like 3 bucks for a 6ml sample or something like that. Great deal, plus there's always coupon codes if you just google for them for 10% off.

If you aren't in a huge hurry you can get pretty much the entire Dekang, Hangsen and Liqua line from Fasttech at great prices.
Their stock is all 75/25 PG/VG and you can choose the nic level you want.
All my experiences with Dekang have been good and being that its big batch its pretty much ready to rip just as soon as you can snatch it out of the mail mans hands.
Shipping is a crap shoot. Order more than $15 and its free USPS with tracking but it will take awhile. 2 to 3 weeks is not uncommon depending on where you live.
Theres a whole thread about it here, but if you can stand the wait and frustration, you can get 50ml's for $5.12 and 10mls for $2.47.

Most of those Flavors should have been Vapeable in a week, Coffee maybe a bit longer. Sorry to have to agree, they don't seem to have it together on mixing at all.

As to Labels/Stickers - As I said, a common Practice. Dekang ships bottles, labels, Nic strength labels and Flavor labels. Mix Pre flavor with Nic level, label and ship out. Still, the Vender has to have a clue to get it right!
That and poor replication of flavors is exactly why I went to DIY. If it turns out wrong, it is all on me.:glare:

Best of luck on a Coffee flavor.
Over a dozen venders and 10 different DIY attempts and I still have ZIP I would call Good Coffee or Cappuccino.
