They all have this same underlying "perfumey" taste that is so overpowering (applewood is the only exception and is actually vapable). Does ANYONE else share the same experience with FSUSA juices? :confused:

NOTE: I let these juices steep for just under 4 weeks before trying them all a second time. Same "perfume" taste.

All their juices are flavored with flavourart... and it is one of the most widely used flavorings out there. It's considered high end flavorings. It's harder to find vendors who don't use FA than vendors who don't.

Not a fan of FA myself... never found it perfumey though...

I use alot of FA for my DIY and my juices taste nothing like FSUSA, so I don't think it is the FA. I do know what you mean, I have found that most vendors have a distinctive taste to their juices that follow throughout the whole line. I don't know whether it's the base they use or something else, but everyone is different and some may or may not like the taste. I tried the steeping thing with FSUSA. It was my first big order when I started vaping,,,hasn't steeped to vapability yet.

I'm right there with you. I have tried many other e juices, and FSUSA just does not taste right to me either. Taste is subjective, but had to add other coffee flavors to my espresso. And still trying to doctor up my Maxboro. Couldn't just throw them away. Bought 60ml bottles when they were on sale in Jan of this year. Yes, they have steeped. lol

Small dishes of the stuff makes pretty good ant killer... you can also dilute it a bit and spray it on your plants to kill aphids.

Ok, well it's good to hear that several other members who have obviously been around for some time share the same experience.

I am very pleased with Vapor Station's tobaccos so far (Texas, Phoenix, and Tampa) and I just ordered BackwoodsBrew Backo and Applewood (I actually dig the FSUSA applewood so I'm hoping this stuff is that much better).

Any suggestions on other tobacco flavors from other companies? Anyone have input on DK-TAB? Some people swear by it.

Mine has all been relegated to steeping in the toilet... No amount of steeping could make the after-taste and overarching scent go away...

Maybe people that wear scents, cologne or perfume don't smell it?

It's not for me!

LOL,,,I don't know why I still hold on to them,,,,I should just let go.

Just remember, if there is something that you don't like about a juice from whatever vendor, don't relegate it to the toilet steep method! Relegate it to the PIF thread and PIF to someone who may like this or that vendor AND it will give you the opportunity to try other vendors and flavors that you may like. PIF!

I would have, unfortunately I added more VG to it, hoping that it would somehow save it for me a few months after I bought it. I have no idea what the nic level is now.

I may have had several bad batches or something, but nobody I know could vape any of this stuff... I've done PLENTY of PIF when I have something of value to offer... I would let my worst enemy vape this stuff! The Wyatt Earp tasted like perfumed jalapenos!

I use four different juice suppliers, one of them being FSUSA, and have not experienced any of the problems encountered by the posters here. I agree about Wyatt Earp, my least favorite FSUSA juice, but there are several other flavors that I order fairly regularly from them and have no complaints about the quality of the product or the service I have received.

I have tried three of their juices and to me they all three have the same underlying taste (kind of a floral sweetness). I always thought I was the only one who the FSA juices didn't agree with. Good to know it wasn't just in my head, lol.

Floral Sweetness is a good description... so is Grandma with with cheap Christmas perfume...
