I've had some pretty bad luck vaping lately. I just got a newish vape tank and a battery today from a friend, and it was empty, but he said he had mint in it when he last used it (Because he got the juice for free), and I filled the tank with my grape juice. I can definitely identify the mint, the only problem is I can't tell if the mint is suppose to taste so potent and like poison, or if there is something wrong with the tank, it seems in pretty good shape.
Is mint suppose to taste like poison?

Did you clean that tank before you used it? Did you change the wick or Atomizer?
Menthol flavors will linger for awhile (usually in the o-rings)
Try cleaning with alcohol, rinse with hot water.
I have never tasted poison tho...

Completely disassemble and soak in PGA or Vodka for a few days then rinse in warm water and dry thoroughly...if you're still alive after 48 hours I think you can safely assume it wasn't poison...
I should of cleaned it, but I wasn't aware of the mint in it until after I filled it and asked my friend why it tasted like plastic. I probably exaggerated on the whole 'poison' thing because i'm sure bleach tastes a lot different than this. Its probably just because the menthol is so potent, it's like a grilled a grape flavored cough drop and smoked it.Menthol flavors will linger for awhile (usually in the o-rings)

If you rinse with alcohol and then wash with soap and water the alcohol is water soluble so no residue or taste to concern yourself with.
there are some flavors that are just disgusting...I bough a small bottle of Kona flavoring the other day and now it's in a triple wrapped bag in a deep hole in my back yard...I am NOT going to see how it tastes...I can't get past the smell 
LMAO! Reminds me of the Cappuccino I bought that I said to myself this must taste great since I like Cappuccino. Ever have a mouth full of coffee grinds? This is worse!
Yup...thank God I had the foresight to order the small sample size...'Dead Skunk in the middle of the road' flavor...8 ml
No...it was Kona (coffee) flavor...but when I opened the bottle...you ever smell a dead skunk? Well, that's much sweeter than this stuff. I suppose there are some who might like it but not me.
Well smell and vape could be 2 different planets! But I might agree with you NOT trying it because you just have a feeling it will be much the same in a vape.... If it isn't good on the nose forget about mouth or tongue!
Part of taste is smell...it MIGHT be OK, but my wife said 'get that ......... out of the house right this second' and I couldn't really argue the point over my gag reflex...
is the tank plastic? those tend to hold flavor no matter how much you wash them. some mint flavors have a lot of menthol and a very strong taste. I use a strong mint flavor with a lot of menthol in a dedicated tank to reset my senses when I develop vape tungh welcome to ECF and enjoy your stay here. since your friend is not dead I don't think that tank is poisoned. unless they are not really your friend
you need to clean your tank
drop it in a 50/50 mix of vodka and hot water(not boiling hot, just reasonably hot if that makes sense)
drop the pieces in except the base that connects to the mod. and let them sit in the mix for like 5 mins then take them out and blow in pretty hard a couple times then and drop them back in and do that once more 5 mins later then drop it again and let it sit for a good 10mins atleast...then take them out blow really hard a couple more times and then let dry them with some paper and leave them by a window to completely dry on the inside (i usually let mine sit by a window for a couple hours)
this should 100% clean it and vape like new....
if you still have issues taste wise i'm not sure then...
