get rid of the perfume smell/taste

[Rhetoric Camel]

Well I was wondering if anyone had any tips/tricks/suggestions on how to get rid of a perfume taste/smell in a juice. I read someone said leave the cap off of it for a day or so and it should be gone. Anyone know of anyway to do this? Am I stuck with juices that just smell and taste bad?

I've received 3 bottles all 3 tasted the same perfume taste, returned them, got new bottles and they have the same smell/taste so it's not just a bad batch. I feel I've wasted $40-ish dollars on this juice, not extremely happy about it but nothing I can do, can't get a refund and I'm not sending them back for 3 replacements again that will just come back with the same perfume taste/smell.

Yeah, I have three caramels from different suppliers that all smell like fruit/flowers instead of like caramel! Would leaving the cap off get rid of that and still preserve the caramel that is supposed to be there?

 

[thebluemeanies]

i dont know about leaving the cap off but i would try mixing it with a liquid from another supplier that you like or maybe even cut it with PG or VG

 

[Rhetoric Camel]

I have mixed it with other liquids and the perfume scent/taste is really overpowering

You have to be careful exposing nicotine to air as it evaporates.

well.. im fairly new to the whole e-cig thing and i only have 3 different liquids (i like all of them) menthol, cappuccino, and watermelon all from litecigusa. i guess you could always try leaving the cap off but i think i read somewhere that nicotine evaporates but im dont know for sure.

you beat me to it..lol

 

[Rhetoric Camel]

yeah I knew it would evaporate the nicotine just hoping for some kind of miracle cure for the bad scent and taste that hides any hint of the actual flavor it's supposed to be

Camel, that's happened to me in five different liquids from three different vendors. I left one out uncapped for 24 hours before I dumped it -- no change whatsoever.

Perfume essences are used in some flavors by some manufacturers, from what I've been told, and I've seen at least two of the offending flavors favorably reviewed by members here, so, strange as it seems to me, some must like them.

I prefer never to duplicate the experience, and waste of money, so I simply won't order any more liquids from those three vendors.

Please tell us who you got the bad juice from? I don't want to spend 40$ on bad juice.

 

[Rhetoric Camel]

I don't want to give the company a bad name since I was given good reviews about their flavors by a few people. And their Camel flavor was really good and didn't have the perfume smell that the coffee, vanilla, and chocolate had.

 

[mbolack]

Yeah, I feel the same way... I have other flavors from each of these vendors that are fabulous. And it wouldn't be fair to name names when I haven't contacted them individually yet. I'm going to do that next week and see what they say.

 

[Robert]

Why wouldn't it be fair? They told you it was a good product, you paid and didn't like it. Now I',m asking and before I waist my money why don't you be fair to the public whose reading your words and tell us what you didn't like. If you bought a bad burger that made you sick and someone else was going to that restruarant wouldn't you say something?

Robert --

I think the reason has already been explained -- this "perfume taste" that some find offensive is obviously fine with others. I've seen it time and time again here: someone will complain about a certain flavor from a certain vendor, and someone else, or more than one, will chime in to say they don't have a problem with it.

And it didn't make anyone sick, or threaten anyone's health, AFAIK, so there's no moral obligation to "out" the vendor.

Other people have liked these exact same juices I have bought, which is why I bought 'em... not going to talk bad about the company just because I didn't like them. Plus I haven't heard anyone complain about their juices yet other than myself so I'm not going to be the one that starts the rumors "I heard that (insert company name here) liquids taste bad, don't order from there" that noobs read and spread without trying themselves. Taste is different in everyone. I'm not trying to call out a company on there bad tasting juices just looking for a possible solution so I can use these, which I probably will anyway so they don't go to waste.
I've been to McDonalds and the food there makes me sick occasionally but I don't go around telling people not to eat at mcdonalds because it makes me sick and it will make you sick.

Until someone calls out the company about bad liquids and I happen to see it, I'm not going to post up the companies name because like I said, numerous other people have talked about their good liquids... and no I'm not talking about Johnson Creek, so don't assume that.

I ordered nearly 500 mls from a vendor that tasted and smelled exactly like perfume. Blah! He worked with me until the issue was resolved.

Most sellers want their customers happy. Keep in contact with them and let them know that there is still a problem. Maybe even change flavors to at least get something you can use.

I don't recommend using it if it tastes or smells different than it should.

ok I don't think anything can be done with your bad juice, so drink it and enjoy, the forum is a place to discuss things and my thoght is drink it and enjoy. I wouldn't want you to offend 1 person while possibly helping many others.

These company probly buy there juice from somewhere else and since everything is new here only information given out by those using these products mean anything...

 

[Rhetoric Camel]

if it makes you feel any better, after leaving the cap off for a couple hours and trying just dripping with no filling in the cart I can taste the actual flavor and no perfume taste on the coffee and the vanilla, haven't tried the chocolate yet... so see, if I were to have stated this companies name right off, someone would read the main post and not read all of it to find out that this seemed to work

 

[maryjo]

I bought several sample size bottles from one vendor only to have about 2/3 of them unusable because of the smell. I tried leaving them open overnight but it didn't help. I ended up pouring them out and reusing the bottles.

There's a 100,000 posts in this forum, time for you to start researching. How may threads u going to start or enter and throw a fit cause someone doesn't spoon feed you all your worldly desires.

I find you to be very honorable. It takes courage to do what is right.

If it was me, I would contact the company one more time and try to work it out. It seems that most suppliers are willing to bend over backwards to help us with our problems. Drop them a line.
