Could be a few different things.

As menioned above its possible the earlier bottles of juice were better 'steeped' , i.e. had more time to blend properly and age and the newer bottles are fresher, i would start by (as mentioned above) uncapping it and letting it sit over night, to let any alcohol in the flavorings evaporate.

*EDIT* Now that i see its a much larger bottle and a tobacco it likely just needs more time to 'steep'/blend. Larger quantities and tobacco's especially benefit from sitting.

You can run a test, take some juice from the larger bottle and put it in a smaller one, like 10-15ml, then cap that bottle and put it in a bowl of warm (not hot) water for a few hours, shaking periodically, then test it and see if it tastes better. The heat speeds up the blending/steeping but its not really the ideal way to do it for all if, may just have to wait it out. A tobacco that tastes terrible on week 1 can be pretty amazing come week 3-4. Again, all just speculation, but worth a try.

Its also possible if you're in the first few months of vaping you could have vaper's tongue, which usually gos away after a few days.

so just let it sit out with the cap off just making sure its what was recommended cause if that doesnt work iam gonna try the warm water tommarow

CAP ON for the warm water speed steep, or else bye bye juice, but leave the cap off the big bottle overnight (As long as thatss safe, ie kids/pets)

its a bootleg red flavor
or any idea what tastes close to marlboros cause this is the closest i could find

If your thing is single note simple tobaccos, i would highly recommend heading over to the DIY section and reading some of Dannyv45's threads/blogs he's very well versed in tobaccos/all DIY and if you're willing to learn you could bring your juice cost down to next to nothing, i.e. easily less than $.10 a ml. The whole DIY section/contributors is pretty amazing.

When I was at my 2-3 month period of vaping, I found my sense of taste changed rather dramatically. All of a sudden, all of my tobacco flavors started tasting bad.

There was a time when I would get a sample pack of 5oz bottles, but when I ordered a bigger bottle, it seemed to taste different. Of course this was during my taste bud war, so it may have been my imagination.

My struggle with flavors led me to trying unflavored liquid, and that is what I have been using for over 2 years. It taste more like I vaguely remember smoking to taste like. Oh, BTW, it's incredibly cheep.

I agree, nothing really tastes like a cigarette. I do recommend Nicoticket Virus for those craving a cigarette. It really helps me, and many others.

Yes, your juice probably needs to steep, but I've also found some companies are really inconsistant as well. I would find a juice I really liked, but the next bottle tasted horrible and no amount of steeping improved it. Its kind of live and learn when you begin your vaping journey.
