General Vapor Question

[Stefanozz]

Is it normal for a flavor to have a perfume taste to it or would that be considered a bad juice? I picked up a melon e-juice from the local tobacco store. First few minutes it was a great new fruity flavor (my first non-tobacco flavor attempt) but as I puffed on it longer, the perfume taste started to take over and got pretty unbearable.

I'm pretty fresh off of analogs (day 9 today), so my taste and smell are just starting to returning. What do some of you think?

 

[Wishdog]

Yeah, happens to me. Not sure why I can't taste the perfumey base at the beginning. I have a peach and watermelon that are good for a few drags before smelling like potpourri on me.

It's steepin' and hopin' time.

Mucho congrats on the quitting. And FWIW, mint doesn't have to steep.

 

[Stefanozz]

By saying mint doesnt have to steep, are you suggesting the fruit flavor I bought should sit for a while and then try again later?

 

[Wishdog]

Hopefully, yes. Or they're just crap.

Some juices have that perfume taste no matter how long they steep. It is a trial & error to find the juice makers that don't have it in their base. Yuck; I can't stand it.

I have a few bottles from Halo and Backwoods Brew, which when I first tried them they had the perfumey taste to them. I have steeped them for two days and they still have that perfumey taste. I hope the steeping works out better for you! Off to the classifieds

So the consensus is they either need to steep or they are not good products. I was a bit worried that some would say its normal and that's how its supposed to taste.. /phew

I had a number of juices that were perfumy or just tasted bad when I first started vaping about 3 months ago. I had bought all sample sizes, and from several different vendors. The ones I didn't like I just threw in the back of the case I use and just about forgot about them.

I dug back into them this week. The perfumy taste is gone now, and most are very vapable and pleasant. Some still suck . I might even reorder one or two and let them steep a month.

Ok Ctor, so patience is used in Vaping also... sheesh I need patience everywhere I turn. j/k thanks bud.

Some e-liquids from certain vendors does taste like perfume.

Two days is very likely not be enough time. Several juices I make don't hit their peak flavor for two weeks. I've not had BWB, but I'm relatively certain that's one of the ones that really requires more than a week to fully develop.

And, yeah, some juices are just perfumey, but I wouldn't draw that conclusion until it's been around for about a month.

I believe it's from the liquid it self for me it's happened with me I tried Menthol and it was bad latter on I get menthol from other vendo and love it so much until it's my best flavor now so I will sujest to change the vendor and see
