I just got 4 packages of 555 and I busted on out last night, I headed out and while I was out grabbed my new 555 cart and tried it. It had a mint taste to it. I figured it was a bad cart so when I got home I pulled another one out same thing.

Then I grabbed another one of my packs and broke out a new 555 out of that....same thing :(

Anybody else have this? was it a bad batch? What going on with my 555???

Ive had this happen quite a bit. Only with the Reds though. The last pack of reds actually tasted like 555. The ones before that had a hint of apple in them. (those were actually delicious) I just assume they don't have a filling machine for each flavor. so when they switch the juice over in the machine there is probably a small window of carts that get a little mix. just luck i guess.
But i refill them with my own juice anyway so it doesn't matter that much to me.

Machines? what are you talking about they have kids filling them by hand each and everyone of them!!!

Na jk Mano could actually be right on this one. You may have gotten a batch that was made right in the change of flavors.

They are supposed to change syringes each time they change the flavor or strength to prevent that. Next time we're in production I will make a point of checking that. Thanks for the tip.

Actually WTQ, most factories do fill all their cartos by hand. As far as I have seen, we're the only cartomizer manufacturer using automated filling.
