Hey, just picked this juice on a whim. And well, its pretty awful. I get no flavor from it, maybe buttery notes but definitely perfumey chemical taste. To make sure it wasnt just my mouth being weird ran to the store and picked up Peramel (my favorite juice right now) it was fine. So back to he donuts, i've been reading reviews and i've never seen a more loved or hated juice! Its either, as I described or literally mind blowing. So my question is, is there anyone out that who vaped it, thought it was a throw away, steeped/breathed it, and got it closer to the mind blowing reviews? What did you do? I guess im in the "stone age" still vaping on my mvp 2.0, only gets up to 11watts, do you think this juice is only good at 50+ watts? It seems like the people whom really enjoyed it were vaping higher wattages.

PS some people have said letting it steep made it worse, more chemical tasting, (i might have an old bottle).

Any help ideas on how to revive this so i can vape it without the "i just smelled dog poo face" would be much much appreciated.

@smashman It could be that it has way to much flavoring for your pallet. Taste is subjective. When I get something like that, I always cut it in half with unflavored as to cut the main flavor in half. That may or may not help but worth mentioning. Hope it can work for you.
I have never heard of that! Do most vape shops carry unflavored?

@smashman As an example, I have gotten cereal killer and made 2-30 ml bottles by splitting it in half and could have easily cut it in half again as the flavor was really strong and sweet.
Im not really picky, ive had really strong flavors before. But im not getting any sweetness or blueberry. Ill let it steep a week (doubt it will do anything since its probably been sitting on a shelf for a month in the box). But nonetheless ill let it breath a a few hours and shake and repeat for a week. If that doesnt work ill try cutting it. Unless someone else has a good idea for me to try.

I just started doing this too. Bought base from Nude Nicotine, to cut significantly, other juice, and I've been quite pleased.

As for I <3 donuts, and Twonk, LOVED THEM. They were all that! Spot on flavor. I vape with a Herekles and a Crown, .25 SS coils at 55-65W.

I find juice flavor confounding. Some my better half love, I can't stand, and visa versa. Some we both enjoy. I've had juices that were my all time favorites, suddenly become disgusting and unvapable, on the same tanks and coils. I also have juice that I didn't care for, that I suddenly love.

Sorry the donuts aren't hittin' for ya.

See i like and love the flavors in it and other similar juices, but i think if you vaped from my bottle you would have a different experience. I'll definitely pick up some unflavored if i can use it to mellow out some juices, and have more juice in general.

I would have to try from your atty, to compare.

I went through quite a few atties till I found the flavor I "expected" to get. Flavors differ slightly between the Herekles and Crown tanks. But so much better than from the K Subtank Mini, prebuilt or RBA. And different still from Nautilus Minis. There are sooo many variables, including wire type. It's crazy!!!

As far as cutting with unflavored base, it's a crap shoot, but once you find what works, it saves money, and lengthens coil life with some juices. Some of my favorite flavors I cut in half, some I can use as little as 20% commercial juice, and still get the flavor, and sweetness I want. Some don't cut well at all.

I have a mini nautilus haha. First time i cut a new juice start a say 25% unflavored and adjust from there? Probably making it harder than needs to be, but just curious how you tackle a new juice, to cut down on my learning curb

that was my experience, too, and I'm not a flavor chaser, not even a little bit.

As I described it to the friend here who sent it to me: "wow. this is the closest thing to vaping unflavored that you can get!"

The one thing I did like about it was that it was almost clear. So easy on the coils.

Hahaha damn, wish you found a way to make the flavor noticeable

That is where I would start 75 original, 25 unflavored. Try it, then cut again if you need to. Blueberry flavor I find I get better taste on a tighter draw. In my experience anyway.
