What did you get? Have you tried dripping with it? I found that some juices just tasted better to me by just dripping. I've never been a fan of carts or cartos, but I have used them.

Well maybe the vender will swap out unopened bottles?? I hope you don't give up vaping just because of the juice!!!

What kinds of juice did you get and where did you get it from? It maybe that you didn't refill your cartos enough or sometimes, if you got it from somewhere that makes it fresh like Back Woods Brew - it needs to sit for a couple of days to seep.

Time to visit the PIF Swaps and main PIF threads Tastes vary a lot -- for instance I couldn't go near a certain cherry liquid flavor, yet I've heard some people think it's okay (it was from a decent vendor, one I buy things from, just that a particular flavor didn't work for me)

Depends what your situation is. Either A) you bought crap juice, or B) you need to let your new juice sit for 1-4 weeks to let the flavors come together properly.

im thinking the swap thread if i can work up the money..dont think it was crap juice because its a vender on here and had great reviews. i will try letting it sit for a while. im getting attys in a few days. so i will drip to test it

I got some Tasty Vapor Tobacco 2 or 3 months ago, and I was pretty peeved when I tried it. Had big bottles of it, and was sure from the reviews that it was what I was looking for. But I hated it, and put it in a drawer. Later, I read about letting juice age a little, so I broke it out to give it another try and I love it! I hope that it works out for you.

If you let us know where the juice is from we can probably let you know for sure if seeping will help.

I try to always let my juices steep for at least a week. Especially made to order juices such as Tasty Vapor. Sometimes it helps sometimes not. One of their most acclaimed flavors tasted(to me) like Burnt plastic from day 1 and after weeks of steeping it still tasted that way. But on the other hand the spiced apple cider gets better everyday. I would definitely let them sit for a bit and see if it gets better.

Whenever I order premade juice it always arrives pre steeped because it takes at least a week for it to make its way across the pond

 

[ashora]

i took the lids off the ones i opened.and letting them seep hoping in a few weeks it will taste better..oh i got many different flovers from apple-tobacco-peppermint pattys. got my fingers crossed that letting them sit works.

One thing I learned with cartos is that you have to make sure you fill them really really really full. And then let them set for at least 30 minutes before vaping. If they're the least bit dry, it's going to taste pretty toxic.

i think your right! we went to try the cartos we fill earlier and they taste much better!

i have also relized i like more vg than pg. will have to order it that way next month.

Glad you stuck it out a bit. I've ordered flavors before that I thought were no good and ended up liking them over time. Not sure if it was a result of letting them "steep", me getting used to the flavor, or both.

Just be careful when using VG in a carto. Might work for you, but my experience is the extra thickness makes them wick slower and I end up with a burnt taste if I hit them too hard. I have to hit the PV once or twice then put it down a minute. I have some 50/50 PG/VG that I use mostly in cartos and wouldn't go any heavier on the VG side.

I do get my favorite flavors in 100% VG, but only use them when dripping.
