Juice has strange flavor

[Kim Bailey]

Hey guys! I've been buying a juice called The Milk by Teleos for a few months now. It is one of my favorite flavors but for some reason the last bottle I got was terrible. It has a strange odor and a perfume-y flavor to it. Does anyone know why this would be and if steeping would help? My boyfriend says to let it steep open for a few days --will that help? Also has anyone else buying this flavor had this happen or is it just me? Thanks!

If the juice is fresh then letting it steep will often improve the flavour and allow any strange smells to disappear. Sometimes though you can get a 'bad' batch of as juice, particularly if it's a mass produced flavour like some premade juices are.

I also find that a bad batch of coils can ruin the taste of most juices too.

I'd let it sit. I could just be fresher made juice than you have gotten in the past. I'd also drop and email to the supplier, maybe they had a bad batch and you wont be the first to comment on it. Sometimes they will just send you a new one.

Wow such speedy replies! Thanks so much Yeah I am going to let it steep but wowzers it tastes bad. I had a similar problem once with Virgin Vapors organic caramel--got a small bottle and omgomg it was soo good , bought a huge bottle and YUCK couldn't vape it at all even after steeping for weeks. I still have it after like 6 months just sitting there taunting me. Anyway, maybe I will write to the company that made the stuff like you suggest. Thanks again!

I had this happen with two bottles of EZ Duz It by Ruthless (this is also the first time I tried this juice). It is supposed to be a strawberry/watermelon flavor, but when I vape it, it just tastes like burning plastic (and it is bottled in glass bottles). And the juice smells the same way as well. At first I thought that I just got a bad bottle, but then I opened the second bottle and it smelled exactly the same as the first. I've been letting it sit and steep for well over two weeks now and no improvement.

That reminds of the the Thug Juice I got from MBV. I was convinced it was trying to kill me. Tasted of burning plastic and it never improved.

I always liked that juice right out the bottle maybe its a fresher batch than usual. Steep it and go back and try later. But definitely e mail them maybe its not just an isolated incident you got nothing to lose at this point if you not enjoying it.

I tried juice from a vape shop in new mexico and every flavor i tried taste like plastic. I could not figure out if it was from the ingredients or the bottles it was in.

 

[Kim Bailey]

Well I wrote to Teleos and the guy said that there haven't been any other complaints about the batch my juice came from. He said to email the place I bought it from. It sure is strange though, I've always really enjoyed this flavor but now I'm scared to buy another bottle (this stuff is expensive for me lol)...Hopefully steeping will help

I have the same problem with my latest bottle Ordered from the same place as I use to but it just doesn't taste the same

 

[thetrucker]

for sure tell the vape shop or online supplier about the bad taste as they really want our feed back...

I've tried Thug Juice and it really wasn't that bad for me. I suspect the plastic flavor has to be from the strawberry flavoring. I have tasted other strawberry juices at the tasting bar at different B&M's and they all have that plastic taste. At least to me they do. Maybe it is something to do with my taste buds. I just know that I avoid all strawberry flavors now.

I've had similar problems with batch variations in juices. You just have to find a vendor who maintains consistency. I think most people don't contact the vendor and complain, so the vendor has no idea they are shipping inconsistent products. Sometimes, you get plastic taste and other times there's a bitter undertaste or the juice just has no resemblance to what you are used to vaping.

If Coca-Cola varied as much between bottles as ecig juice does, I'd move to Pepsi. Sometimes, you just have to shop around,

Well it makes me sad to hear that you had the same problem, but it also makes me happy to hear that I'm not crazy!

 

[OceanKitten]

Nope - not crazy at all =)
It´s weird though - I wrote both the company I bought from and Teleos and they say they have had no complaints. And nothing when I google it either. =/

 

[Kim Bailey]

LOL OceanKitten, I did the exact same things and got the same responses. I would love to take a chance and get another bottle but would be so mad at myself if the next one tastes bad too

If it smells perfumey then it was probably very freshly mixed and simply needs the cap taken off, and give the bottle a couple of light squeezed to blow out the air and suck some fresh air into it, and then let it sit a couple of days. Perfumey smells is usually from alcohol based flavorings and the alcohol simply needs a chance to evaporate and air out.

 

[Kim Bailey]

Yeah that is what the place that I got the juice said--that it was very freshly made. I shook the hell out of it (suggested by the person from Teleos) took the top off of the bottle for about a week and let it sit in a dark cool place. That was a little over a month ago and there has been no discernible change in the odd flavor. Does it take longer than that to steep something ? I really have no clue. Thanks for all the responses though

 

[Siouxinpa]

A month is more than long enough to steep. Flavors may change after that, but I doubt if it's going to become what you were used to.

Another possibility is they changed ingredients, using cheaper nic, pg, vg or flavorings.

Are you sure your coil didn't go bad? Perhaps, it is just a cheap juice?
