Issues with flavor/juice. Please help...

[kalojado]

So, I recently started looking into getting some flavored juices because I do not taste much with my Marl juice or pre-filled carts from Ruyan. So I ordered some juice, 6 samples to be exact and I have to say that I am less than thrilled with the juice I received. Now, don't get me wrong, I dont thinking this has to do with the supplier. Without mentioning any names, the guy i dealt with was super nice and had my order within days. I was very pleased with his service. The juice on the other hand has left me with a lot to desire.

I have a 401 and I am generally happy with my product. Been almost a month and all is (seemingly) working fine. I just dont get much of a taste of anything from my e-cig. I have 4 atomizers and have the same result with each. i dont know if I am expecting too much, but I really would like to taste something. Its like each flavor is just the smallest hint of flavor but I do smell the flavor when I exhale. Of the juices I tried, mint seems to be the most potent. Almond, Coffee and Vanilla were all rubbish, with coffee being the worst. Vanilla and almond just kinda smelled like I was vaping some sort of perfume. The hilton I ordered was practically tastless and I ended up mixing it with my Marl juice from Ruyan to make more Marl. The most tolerable was apple, but the flavor was so dismal, I can't see myself using it very much.

I did a test yesterday, cleaned my attys, carts and filling, refilled the carts and dripped onto the atomizer and I still do not get much of anything. Can someone tell me if I am expecting too much out of the flavors or if I am not doing something right? I amost feel like squirting some juice onto my tongue to see if that would give me some flavor. I wonder if anyone else out there feels the same way? Is it the 401, or is this what vaping is? I havent picked up an anolog since my counter and do not want to. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've found the same thing.... I normally use tobacco flavors and didnt get much flavor from the coffee or hilton or even the chocolate flavors.... a slight hint on exhale but thats it. I ordered some fruit flavors but havent received them yet. I'm thinking we could buy our own flavors and add extra to the juice... there's places that sell the flavors, online and even like Hobby Lobby or other places that carry cake decorating/candy making supplies sell them worth a shot for more flavor maybe

Take a look at getting some unflavored liquid in your desired nicotine strength and then adding flavoring to it to your own desired taste. I get mine from www.lorannoils.com I can highly recommend the butterscotch and the caramel.

Yeah, that may be worth a shot. do you know what I would look for at the hobby lobby?

I am glad there is someone else out there experiencing the same thing as me.
I was beginning to think I was alone. i sit here and read people raving about flavors and I just dont get it. I just get a hint of favor and a smell with these liquids. Again, I mostly use my Marl/Hilton mix, but really do not get much of anything from it. I would like to hear what your results are with the fruit flavors. Please let me know if you figure out something that works...

Yeah, it looks like I am going to have to do this. So I am guessing I need to buy flavored oils? I am about to the point of going in my kitchen and grabbing my vanilla extract and seeing if that would do anything...

e cig is not smoking, you are missing the plasure of the smoke, now you are vaporing, some days e cig taste like glory, other days you are gonna die for an analog, just hold

Some of the flavors aren't strong enough for me either. I've been adding Bickfords flavoring, but there are a number of other brands you can try. Take a look at the DIY flavor section of the forum. BTW, the Bickford's Apple Maple tastes like pancakes . Very nice with a cup of coffee...or maybe I should set up an e-cig with coffee and one with apple maple and alternate puffs...no need for breakfast then .

You can get lorann's flavorings at Hobby Lobby, in the crafts section (cake decorating).

BUT, be careful about what you buy. Many of the types they carry can gunk up your atomizer pretty good.

Here's a reference guide:
