I ordered Rootbeer from blackwoods last week after a suggestion on here saying it tastes just like A&W rootbeer. I got the bottle today and while it smells exactly like it the taste is awful lol. It tastes like a medicated lozenger with a hint of rootbeer in it.

Not sure what is going on here but the only luck that I've had so far with flavors have been with the cartomizers from Blu...the cherry crush has a great taste and smells great...other than that I'm not having much luck with my flavor choices at all.

This is starting to get expensive now.

I didn't believe that steeping a juice made any difference until it happened to me.

A bottle of juice I bought and vaped immediately then got set aside for 2-3 weeks until I came back to it, and there was a very noticable difference in the flavor, it was much smoother and tastier than it was at first.

I have learned in vaping, patience is everything.

I would just air it out and let it sit for a few weeks and not come to any judgements for awhile, you might be very surprised what it will vape like in a few weeks' time.:)

Any vendor that makes the juice when you order it, unfortunately you're going to have to wait around 10 days to 2 weeks for a decent vape. 2 to 3 weeks is optimal. This applies 100% to any "savory" or complex flavors. These flavors are also usually dark. Fruity flavors, and menthol are usually your best bet for a buy it vape it scenario. I am learning to keep a few favorite fruit flavors and a bottle of menthol around. As long as you like menthol you can mix it with almost everything for a nice icy flavor. My next juice to try is lemon ice from mister t or something like that.

What exactly does "steeping" mean?

Man it would be nice if the vendors included this info with the product before buying...that sucks!

Down the rabbit hole..

Steeping is just leaving your juice sit in a cool dark place for 2 or 3 wks..then retrying it..if its better but still not great I leave it longer.
I shake mine from time to time as it steeps.
Also make sure you shake juices before vaping them to ensure everything is blended together...
Unfortunately it takes time...when you find something you like after its steeped make sure you order it again so it has time to steep
before you run out!...:)

Good call, great info...

Hang in there, OP... BWB has some really amazing flavors and they're definitely worth the wait!
