How many have gotten a mouthful of perfume?

[Pantry Weevil]

I hate it when you order an ejuice that is described as "smokey, nutty or coco like" only to get a mouthful of perfume. A couple I have ordered taste like my wife sprayed CK One in my mouth. That really honks me off. It's a good thing I usually start with a 5 or 10ml bottle. How many of you have had juice like that? Just wondering? Thanks all.

I hate it when that happens too! I don't know if I'd use the word perfume, but I've definitely come across some flavors that were anything but what they described. I'm very skeptical now about who I order from and I'm trying to stick with flavors I've tried and love. Taste is sooooo subjective.

I sure have. Put that bottle in the pantry, keep the weevils away, vape something else for a week then try it again. You might be surprised how much it improves. If not, put it back for another week. When I first tried Halo Torque 56, it was like after shave. A week later it was good. Two weeks later, it was awesome.

Yeah I have to agree with you on that one. I've had multiple flavors suddenly change in me after I've left them alone for a week or two. Weird how that happens.

Too many flavors have that perfumy taste, and it makes me mad that the vendors even try to sell it.

Steep the juice folks.
All I do when the juice arrives in the mail is smell it, then I put it away in a closet for at least 2 weeks.
The perfume smell will go away and and the juice will be ready to vape.

You could also make your own juice with flavor from perfumer apprentice.

How much nicotine are you using and what is the PG/VG of your juices?

If it's high nic you might taste the nic

If overly flavored then some flavoring can get flowery until you air it a bit

Sometimes flavors need to steep especially freshly blended flavors

And you need to smell the vapor - don't expect the mouth flavor to convey what it is. Foods don't work that way either. You tongue can only taste sweet, salty, bitter, sour and umami (MSG). Everything other than that is visual, texture and aroma, and of those vapor only has aroma.

Thanks for the feedback everybody. I do let my juice steep for a minimum of two weeks (I learned you need to do that, real fast) but some never seem to ease off the bad taste. Doing some research I have found that a great deal of what goes into (some) e-juice is actual perfume base. I googled up some chemicals that were in listed the juice and found they are commonly used in the perfume industry.

That perfume-y taste *seems* to be inherent with a lot of the Flavourart bases, I've found. I avoid it like the plague. =)
