So it turns out that I am a complete and utter idiot. I had ordered from so many different vendors that I mixed things up.
My order from AiV was for 6mg, but I received 18mg. That's why it all tasted horrible to me. I was feeling like a leper for a moment there!
Hopefully I can correct this snafu and actually try AiV juices without what is for my taste buds an intolerable level of nicotine.
I would definitely write to AiV about it. If they shipped you the wrong strength by their own fault, they will go above and beyond to correct the error. They're a great bunch of people with IMO fantastic juices.
That said, and to address the rest of the comments in this thread, if you're looking for strong in-your-face flavors, then AiV may not be for you as was already mentioned here. Alternately, you can order most of the AiV flavors with extra flavor when you order full-size bottles (just write it in the comments field before clicking add to cart). Also, there are very few AiV flavors that are vapeable right from the mailbox, most require at least a 2 week steep time for best flavor, some like White Rabbit and Zombie Apocalypse are even better at 4 weeks. Bandersnatch is another I couldn't coax any flavor out of until at least 3 weeks of steep time. Of course, you can use an ultrasonic cleaner to speed up the steeping process too if you don't like to wait.
