Juice of a Different Color

[Wolf308]

OK, one of my usual buys is a Juicy Vapors liquid called Toasted Marshmallow Milkshake. I've gotten it three times now. The first two times I got it, it was a brownish color, fairly dark liquid. This time... it was yellow.

The taste is generally the same, although I think it is a little weaker this go around. Any idea why this is? Anyone else experience this with this juice? I'm assuming a change in recipe, but there was no mention - that I saw - on the website. Thoughts?

Edit: The larger bottle is the newer one... it has been steeping for about two weeks.

Hmmm...2 weeks is a decent amount of time for steeping - some take much longer, others need none. Take the lid off and let it steep lidless for a couple of days, then put the lid back on and steep another week. It really does sound from your testing experience that it just needs longer to get there. Or, in other words your first juice was a bit older than the new one is when it was sent to you. If you have a spare clearo, put some in it, have a few vapes, and leave it a day or two then come back to it. I find the small amount, with the heat application can hasten the depth of color, and by extension (in most cases), also the flavor.

Did you order the same nic and pg/vg level? Seems odd to be that drastically different after 2 weeks of steeping.

Yep. Everything is the same. I thought it was strange, too, which is why I posted. I let it steep, even cap off, for two weeks (cap was on and off repeatedly for the duration, and it was shaken daily). My other two regulars from them were only a touch lighter in color, but they steeped the same way and darkened right up. Usually, this juices shows up the color it is in the smaller bottle. I was shocked to see it yellow this time.

hmmm...... could be because they are part of that new trade group ..... but i would call or e-mail and ask them

 

[Buggs5347]

Yeah, I'd contact them. I think someone messed up on your mix.

 

[Wolf308]

Emailed them this afternoon. Will let you know if/what they respond with. This is just really weird. Thanks!

Just an update...

I've made it to the other 30 ml bottles I got from them, all have a much weaker flavor than usual.

Also, I emailed them after that last post and still have not received a reply from them.

So, I think weak juice with no explanation means I need to take a break from ordering from them for a while. Hopefully things eventually change. They make some of my favorites, but I can always find new favorites if need be.

hmmm... i have a few from them too ... maybe time to look for replacements ... i like vendors who respond to my concerns ... those are the ones who i feel earn my money

I'm sorry to hear that Wolf. Not getting any response is pretty shabby. It may well be time to have look over some other orders you've been meaning to get around to. Have you done the hot water treatment yet? (put some in small bottle) and then put bottle in hot (not boilong of course) water a couple of times. Maybe that will push the maturity a bit.
