Just got a sampler from eastmall, concerned

[BobLon]

We talked to Ed on the phone and they are going to ship us replacement juice. The working theory at this time is that our order sat for an extended period at the shipping center there. My girlfriend is the one who talked to him and she came away with the feeling that their concern is genuine, almost more than just 'ok whatever, we'll send you a replacement batch".

My feeling is that whether you purchase on line or at B&M's your going to have something happen at some point in time. That's just the way it goes. What leaves a lasting impression with me is how the situation is handled when it does happen. In that regard, I have to say that EastMall is going above and beyond to get to the bottom of this. (He places 4 or 5 calls to my girlfriend before finally getting her.)

So we'll see what happens, but the bottom line is that even though the first order left a funny taste in my mouth, the taste that lasts is the excellent support provided by Ed.

I'm new to e-cigs, so it's hard to really tell what I should expect flavor-wise.

From smoking the carts while working at Smoking Everywhere, I noticed a distinct unpleasant taste that I sometimes notice with Eastmall's liquid, but overall they seem OK.

My menthol juice is delish, and VERY crisp. The watermelon is fruity, but gets very bland after a couple times. I wasn't as impressed with the spearmint as I hoped for, but I compensate by mixing with menthol. I also got clove, and have only tried it a couple times, and it was OK, not unusual.

I keep all of them stored in a fridge at night, and have just now tried shaking the bottle first, which does help.

Like I said, I'm a n00b so I don't know if there is something I should be concerned about.

Very cool of you to jump in this thread and try to pinpoint the problem Ed ( smile)...It's not just eastmall..There is a whole thread of very different reactions to nuvapes sample sale recently( shame it had to happen to someones grand opening)..Which leads me to believe it may be just certain batches and I think many realize that.......Ivy

I just got my first shipment of juice from eastmall.net. Got Red Bull, coffee, pineapple, menthol, and 555. So far I have just tried 555 and pineapple, but I have had no perfumy, plastic, burnt, or other weird tastes.

555 tastes nutty and roasted, not really like the analogs, but smooth and tasty with a light throat kick. Pineapple has a light taste, but great throat kick. It tastes kind of like pineapple jam. It's a little sweet and not tart. I was hoping for a little stronger flavor and maybe more tartness like fresh pineapple, but because of the lighter flavor it will probably be better for all day vaping. I got 555 in 8 mg strength and the other flavors in 18 mg and I am using a 510 to vape them.

No complaints or any weird flavors so far.

In the sampler that I received the coffee, almond and chocolate had the 'perfumey' taste and the burnt plasticy aftertaste.

The tobacco flavors didn't have it at all.

As an aside to all you Eastmall vapors: Which flavor has the strongest throat hit in your opinion? I love the flavor of the 555 but it's a bit mellow for me and I find myself wanting that 'OMFG I'm inhaling fiberglass" effect

"Tobacco" I vape 36 mg all day every day and this tobacco is very, very nice. Even I can't vape it straight for very long, I have to add a bit of vanilla to smooth it out; but I use it first thing in the morning and after meals when I NEED that hard throat hit.

BTW, got a boatload of Eastmall flavors in 2 separate orders and what I've tried of them have all tasted great, but I shake before using. Haven't tried them all yet, tho.

Don't think it's just eastmall but it may be. Some suppliers I'm sure get their juice from them. The smell like perfume and taste like crap. Strange the dates are PRD 16/04/2009. I can't get that smell out of my head now. Eww.

It's strange though, I got 2 RY4's with the same PRD date.. One is a little darker in color and has that perfume smell. The other doesn't at all.

I have a number of eastmall liquids. Have not tried them all yet. What i DO realize though, is that the taste is a lot more prominent if I refill one of my KR808D-1 cartomizers, as opposed to dripping or refilling a cart for my 510. One thing that I have noticed, that doesn't seem to have been mentioned... After vaping constantly for a few minutes, I get this wierd heaviness in the way back of my throat. Not really sure how to explain it other than, it's almost a feeling like I'm going to have to burp (if that makes sense) Has anyone ever noticed this? It could be a symptom of vaping in general, but perhaps also it could be as a result of the consistency of the liquid from eastmall?

I recently ordered from liquid express and when i first vaped, it was ok. then, the next day, it tasted like alcohol. just couldn't taste the menthol (it was cool rush). so, i tried adding a mint flavoring to it. instead of getting more menthol/mint to it, the alcohol taste just got stronger. it's gross. good thing, it's only a 15ml. i vaped with my m401. now, i don't know what to do. i really like the strong minty taste, but don't know where to buy it without getting that alcohol taste. i'm thinking of non-pg from nuvape. what do you guys think?

Thanks for the tip! I got some of the TAB at 18mg and have found that it tastes the most like my old American Spirit Blues of any that I've tried so far. I also found that I'm vaping a whole lot less because of that....awesome!
