I love it too! That is the one I got a carto stuck part way in for three days :facepalm:

I have that problem also at times. Lubing that inner o-ring helps but not all the time. I think the problem will be solved when I get that new carto puncher that doesn't deform the cartos as much. I've tried to hammer them perfectly round again but I guess I'm not strong enough, they don't budge.

anyone else have this issue? some liquids i vape, i seem to get a "peppery" taste out of them... is that due to the type of nicotine they use?

i use somewhat low nic... 12mg.

It probably does have something to do with the nic base they use or the flavoring type. I have never had that issue, but then I only vape 1 vendors juices.

Yes, had that problem with FSUSA, gourmet vapor, and a few others. and yes I think it has to do with the nic base.

The pepper taste is usually caused by an additive used by some vendors to increase TH in their juices. I think it's a bad practice and see no reason for it. Also it could happen from the nic base. I found this a lot when buying cheaper juices that had flavors and bases from China. They may say made in the USA but that could just mean mixed in the USA. I'd complain to the vendor or change the vendor.

well, this vendor offers a premium nicotine base for a little more... i suppose i can switch to it and see if it works better.. i actually happen to like the juices i get from there since it's all organic. :-(

I've never had that happen with that particular vendor Snoopy. I don't think they add any TH enhancer. What flavor is doing this? And the Eco base is extremely smooth.

blueberry bliss extra strength. yeah, i know cause she doesn't use any additives at all, so this has me puzzled.

If it is the same vendor I use, I also have never tasted that in the juices. I have vaped these for the last 7+ months too, so that is really strange......maybe your taste buds are doing some adjusting???

Ok, probably too strong with the extra flavor. I had ordered a few with extra flavor and some with standard flavor. I reached a happy medium with the last order, I got it with a half shot of extra flavor. Now it's perfect for me. I know the taste you are referring to, I had it with a bottle of Swirl that I had ordered with extra flavor. The Eco is very smooth but I think needs some steeping on arrival if you don't get the pre-steeped ones. Ask her, she's very communicative.

Edit: I want to add that I nver had a "peppery" taste from the extra flavor, but it did "bite" if you can imagine what I mean. Going down to half the extra seemed to resolve that.
