So I have ordered different juices from quite a few different companies. I have liked all the juices I've gotten from Freedom Smoke USA and a couple other vendors. I had been searching for something different so I tried Blueberry Smoothie and Cotton Candy from Mrs. T's Bakery. I have nothing good to say about these juices. They both seem to have very little flavor and they both have the same chalky, heavy tasting after taste that actually makes me feel a little sick to my stomach. So heavy, that I vaped before dinner the other night and it stayed in the back of my throat all through dinner, not pleasant at ALL. Has anyone else had this experience before?
Juice issue from well known vendor....

How old are the juices? They may need to age a bit. Try throwing them in a drawer for a week or two. Try again. Just a thought.
I'm not familiar with Mrs. T's juices, but I know that when I order from one vendor that fresh mixes juice for each order they need to steep a while. Vape them when they are freshly mixed and you'll think WTF, let 'em sit for a week or two and you've got some really good stuff.
I agree with AttyPops, throw them in a drawer for a week or two. If you can't vape 'em now what's it gonna hurt?

I never liked Mrs. T's despite the rave reviews. I bought three or four of their highest regarded flavors and didn't like any of them... so I let them steep - still no good. NO flavor, strange undertones... not fresh and yummy tasting like my other juices. I've tried them every couple of months since then - yuck.
I guess it just goes to show that what they say is true, flavor is truly subjective. That's why I seldom give juice recommendations.

I have had this issue where a liquid upset me and stayed in my mouth for a couple of days, but that wasn't from Freedom or Mrs. T's.
What fresh and yummy tasting juices are you referring to then?
Freedom smoke's Wyatt Earp, and Freedom smoke's Pear flavoring that I DIY myself. I'm about to try their maple syrup today. I haven't tried a lot of e-liquids, but I didn't like Mrs. T's.
Taste is, as Rosa and others have said, very subjective. Too, depending on how long you hve been vaping, your taste buds will change so flavors you may hate now will taste great later, and v/v - though some you hate/love now you will still hate/love. Do give the e-liquids a chance to breath and age, then try again. If you still need to not use them, you can try the Pay it Forward or Classified areas of the ECF. Another option, which may or may not work for you but I have used a lot, is to use another strong flavor to overpower the e-liquid and make it vapable (licorice, menthol, etc.). Good luck.
I've tried 2 flavors from Ms. T's so far and my impression is very different for each of them. I like the Banana pudding. I admit, it's an artificial banana flavor, but it's strong in a good way. It tastes more like a banana popsicle than banana pudding, but I like banana popsicles, so it works for me. No heavy/chalky flavor with that one. However, the (Egg)Nogged Coffee, I don't really care for. It tastes like a perfumey attempt at eggnog with absolutely nothing resembling coffee whatsoever (though that part may come through as it steeps) and this one does have the heavy/chalky aftertaste that you mention.
I've read a ton of reviews on this vendor & the most helpful seem to indicate that the dessert flavors are pretty good but the beverage & fruit flavors, not so much.
I agree with Rosa - taste is subjective. People have different tastes, so what someone else thinks is great, you may not.
The best juices I've tried have come from Kick Bass Vapor. They are very unique, complex and very yummy! However, if you like throat hit (I don't) and want to give them a try, make sure to order the higher PG mix rather than the standard 60/40 VG/PG mix.

I am very lucky when it comes to trying new flavors. I happen to live four blocks from AltSmoke.com's new storefront. Rob and and the crew are always willing help with suggestions and they have 5 ml samples dirt cheap.
Sometimes flavors need to steep. Pop the dropper out and let it have air for at least a few hours then put the dropper and top back on let it sit for a few days to a few weeks. I've occasionally had a flowery aroma/taste (which some other call perfumey) from some juices from Madvapes and VapeRenu. It is probably a particular brand of flavoring or overuse of some flavorings (i.e. too high a percentage in the juice) can also cause that according to some stuff I've read in the DIY section. Steeping seems to help, especially letting it air.
Now, that is funny... When I vaped Wyatt Earp, all I could taste was jalapeno pepper. We were at a meet up and tasting a bunch of flavors. I then managed to accidentally put cherry juice into the same atty and got..... cherry flavored jalapenos (trust me, not good at all). Some people love wyatt, but not me. I also never thought that my favorite would be raspberry ginger ale either.
i agree with lord and rosa, i get new flavors in or even a flavor i have ordered in the past i let em set a week or so before vaping, it must be a barrel aging process if you will, but i have ordered from 4 diff vendors and had to only toss 1 flavor
Taste is definately subjective. Back before I was making my own, I tried Waffle. If I never smell a waffle or taste a waffle again the rest of my life, it will be too soon.
I just ordered a whole bunch of samples from FreedomSmokeUSA, mostly tobacco flavors, Wyatt Earp being one, anyways they all taste like a very strange soapy taste, and none of them have any real defining difference, just various amounts of soapiness, really weird...
Are they PG juices? I ordered a PG sampler from Johnson Creek and had the same experience. SOAP.. reminded me of when I was in catholic school and the evil nuns would wash my mouth out with soap! ewwwww ...I've had this with other brands that are higher in PG too .. so I assumed it was the PG and have started trying more VG heavy mixes.
They are all 50/50 juices.
I have tried both 100% vg and 100% pg based juices, as well as a few different mixes of the two, and to me its the stronger VG that has a weird taste typically, but its like a musty taste.
Just ordered a bunch of samples from them. And 5ml of the Wyatt Earp as well. Hoping I like their stuff, I'm originally a Tucson boy and like the idea of supporting home-town folks.
One thing it took me a little while to figure out about myself is that I really don't like any flavors... I require light flavoring. I like a sweet finish... but for the most part, an ideal vape for me is something that has very subtle taste and just a twinge of flavor on the exhale.
