Hello, I started smoking around the age of 16 I am 32 now. Been smoking for half my life guess you can say. Half of that time smoking Marlboro menthol lights. I quit once cold turkey for half year straight long time ago. Started back up when I got a job that i had to wake up at 4 am in the morning. Till now I have been having thoughts of quitting. But didn't want to do it cold turkey it was very very hard the first time. Read alot of reviews and a bunch of youtube videos. Then I placed an order for the vapor king ultimate ultimatum auto kit on the 19th on January around 4:30 pm. I woke up today January 21st around 11am. Walked out to check the mail and BAM :w00t:. My kit from V4L arrived I couldn't believe it was already here :thumbs:. Talk about fast and i didn't even pay for express shipping. So I picked it up and went back to my room to try everything out. Pretty impressed its not like smoking a real cig but it comes pretty close to it. When i tried the menthol sampler that came as a bonus (didn't expect free samplers :thumbs:). I tried all 5 flavors being a menthol smoker wanting to see which I'll like the most. There is a weird taste chemically taste thinking its the nicotine all 5 flavors had it. It is just past 4 pm now and since i woke up till now. Being around 5 hours I haven't had a analog cig yet. I think this e-cig is going to help me quit smoking very easily just have to get past that weird taste. Oh and everything works perfectly. Only thing wrong is my kit was suppose to come with a auto passthrough but got a manual instead :confused:and i didn't like the blue with the multiple logos. I swear I put on comment box during order for a white or black single logo 1. I'm lazy want pure easy of use :p. Anyway just wanted to say Hi to everyone. Member of ECF since 6 hours be4 this post :p. Hope everyone has a great day :thumbs:.

Welcome! :)

The weird chemical-y taste -- is it kind of metallic or "tangy"?
It sounds like the exact flavor I get with all prefilled cartomizers, including V4L. I couldn't get over it, so I switched to filling my own blank cartomizers with liquids I like.

Try buying some blanks -- any KR808d-1 (the Vapor King model) blanks will fit your e-cig -- and filling them yourself. (You can search on the forum for how to fill a cartomizer, or on Youtube for videos on filling methods.)

You'll want to sample liquids from other places, too -- they vary a lot, but the quest to find what you like can make it fun. (V4L has their own flavors made from Dekang, I think, so try a supplier that makes their own / doesn't sell Dekang.)

i get that funny taste most in my USB passthrough if i plug it straight into a computer USB but if i change it to a external 4 port USB the taste it alot less noticeable. think i get a slight lag and less power which actually isn't to bad. I dont get as much or that funny taste. I tried coffee but might have been a mistake. Cuz i filled a blank with coffee juice and tried it right away with passthough straight to computer USB was like YUCK. I'm try let it sit then try with a battery.

Yeah thats it DC2 kinda like perfume but wouldn't smell good on a girl or guy. LOL
I have noticed that some juices I've bought have an underlying perfume taste...
--All of the juice I got from NuVape
--The two cartomizers I got from Vapor4Life

I have heard some people here say that Dekang juice is like this.
I don't know if that's true or not.

The juices that I've bought that never have an underlying perfume taste...

Welcome to the world of vapor! I too am new to this (2 weeks and counting) I started with the Greensmoke because I had yet to find this great forum and read the bad reviews they got. I then switched to V4L's VK and man I love it. Though like you, maybe being use to the mellow greensmoke cart taste, I found the V4L carts to taste weird. Maybe perfume is the right word to describe it. They did give me a bonus sample pack as well (the fruit bowl one) and those don't have the perfume after taste I got with the tobacco sample pack. I got some Winston 36mg from Freedom smokes and have been refilling the tobacco flavored carts I have run dry and it is a big difference in taste. I don't want to discount them totally however as I did just place another order for two more sample packs. But my (not so learned) advice would be to try same sample pack from the various vendors listed on this site and see what grabs ya...thats my plan anyway.

The three liquids you name DC2 - JC, MFS, Nhaler - are all US-made and not Dekang, which indeed always has the unpleasant perfume taste for me (I think of it more like a scented industrial cleaning fluid).

To the OP - those are three good places to try. There's also TastyVapor.us, Ms. T's Bakery, and DIYFlavorShack for other high-quality liquids.

    Welcome aboard. I am fairly new as well. I have a 401, 510 and volcano. Haven't tried the 510 yet but I love the 401.

    Almost forgot to say, I got a bunch of juice from several vendors. I am still trying to find what I like. I really like VG, wonderful vapor but I can't taste anything with any of the flavors. I am going to try adding some flavor drops to them. I have an order coming from DIY and I hope those are stronger. Maybe I just fried my taste buds from smoking for 35 years. I am so excited to be smoke free for 10 days:)
