As a brand-new vaper, I waited most impatiently for a week to get my sample pack of 18 mg e-liquid in five flavors, and I feel like crying!

Every single one has a perfume/soapy taste.. :(

I am using a Cignot Joye 510 with manual battery, and a PT if needed. I have been smoking the pre-filled carts of 25 mg Marlboro and topping off with either the same or EcoPure Fresh.

Before using the new liquid in one of the carts, I took the filler out and rinsed it under water, then patted the filler dry on a paper towel. Then I dropped 7-8 drops into the cart, added the filler back in with a tweezer, then added 3-4 more drops on top to make it slushy looking.

I then blew out the atty to get rid of any of the existing liquid. Then dropped a couple of drops onto the atty.

Attached it all back together, took a nice long vape, and BLECHHH!!!! How disgusting! So I thought maybe it was the flavor (a honey/caramel) so I did the same process with my other atty and another cart, this time with a menthol flavor. SAME RESULTS.

Then yada yada yada, did it with all five flavors, and everything tastes like soap/perfume, nothing like the flavor it's supposed to be. In fact, they all taste pretty much the same, even a cherry/lime flavoring.

WTH?? Is there any way to get all this cleaned out and use the original Cignot flavors it came with and get rid of that nasty perfume taste? This supplier has good reviews, and I don't want to cause an issue, but is there something I am doing wrong?

TIA.

I had a similar experience when I first started vaping. Stuff from cignot too. What I found was that it took awhile to truly get the atomizers "broken in" and all the crap burned out of it. Tasted horrible at first and I was on the verge of abandoning my ecig experiment for good. but I hung in there. Also, you need to invest in experimenting with different flavors from different vendors to see what you like. I have spent about 250 so far and I am narrowing it down to what I like a lot and then the cost will level out. From cignot the best is by far the English Toffee 18mg VG. Delicious. but don't get it (or any other flavor in any higher nic). It's starts to taste real "chemically", at least to me.

This is definitely an issue, and I don't understand why it isn't a MUCH bigger issue.

I have gotten samples from NuVape and every single one had a background perfume taste.
I threw them all away.

The two Vapor4Life cartomizers I tried also had a background perfume taste.
I only took a few drags off those and threw them away as well.


I have seen many posts of people saying the Dekang juice has this problem.
But that makes no sense to me given that Dekang makes a huge percentage of all juice.

All I can tell you is that I have never had a perfume taste in any juice in these places...
