Just today received my sample pack from pink spot vapors. First impression was wow these smell great! As I tried out each flavor I found that they tasted great. Then they all started to have this weird underlying taste that only got stronger the more I vaped them. Kinda like a chemical taste. Then I started to feel sick and that is when I decided that there was something in them that my body just didn't like. They were way to perfumey and my sinuses start to run, eyes start itching and I felt feverish. Went back to vaping my normal juices and felt fine after awhile. Decided to give the pink spot another try and same thing happened.

Has anyone else had something similar happen to them? What is it that is different that could cause 7 different juices from same vendor to cause such a reaction ?

There are some E-Liquids that I have to steep, if I don't steep them...they can taste a bit mediciny, it just depends on where I purchase them.
I usually steep my E-Liquids for about 24-48 hours, like I said...it all depends. There are some E-Liquids that I've purchased that I don't need to steep :p
There's been times...actually a lot of times, where I thought, well...these are going in the trash, but waiting after a month...I was amazed, you can tell by the color and sometimes the smell.
I know that a month may seem like a lot to some, but patience can be a virtue...and some of those mediciny E-liquids turned out to be my flavorite vape.

Hola :)

I agree, contact them and get a dialog going, get to the heart of the matter.

I love PSV and have never ever tasted chemical or perfume. I've tasted perfume in other vendors, like Wyatt Earp, etc, so I know what you're talking about and like I said, PSV has never tasted like that to me.

Did you have a brand new atty or carto?

Sandy and Penn are great folk, and would appreciate feedback and a dialog. Maybe they tried a new flavor or vg or pg from a different source or something. They need to know...

Vaping juice the same day you receive it is neither fair to the VENDOR or YOU....With very few exceptions, juice usually gets better the longer it steeps. In my experience, it takes at LEAST 3 days for freshly mixed juice to "settle down" and for the "intended" flavor to come through. After about 7 to 10 days it usually is about what I consider very "different" from brand new. Be patient and NEVER throw out new juice that you dont like...Age WILL make it better....YMMV

places that create to order give you fresh product. Liquids really need to steep for a short time to get everything to mix together properly. Try setting them on a shelf for a few days to a week and try again. I bet you'll see a difference.
Also, if you've been vaping for a while, you may find your tastebuds are ready for a more subtly flavored liquid (no extra flavoring). I've personally found that to happen to me in both instances, the steeping and the tastebuds.

I didnt enjoy my pinkspot sampler either..

I got Pink, Blu, G-Spot, Lemon Drop, Watermelon Wave & Washington Red apple. They threw in a 3ml sample of Jane's Jungle Juice.

The Signature spot juices kinda threw me off, at first I liked them, but also too fragrant chemically scented for me.
They had the underlying Pineapple & Lime Flavor that I didnt really like.

The only juice I did really like was Washington Red apple, but I felt it needed more apple.

I recieved a sample of "adam's Accident" from RAWR, which is a pinapple vape. Reminded me of the Signature Spots but because it was just straight Pineapple, I liked it better

I will give them some time to steep before I decide if they are going into the trash. I am new to vaping the only other place I have had juice from was my local brick and mortar supplier. Their juice is good to vape as soon as I get and they mix it in front of you but it but I understand the need for some juices time to mix well. IIRC they use 70vg 30pg so I am getting plenty of both so I don't think it is the base. I am hoping it is just too strong flavor and time will let it settle down a bit. It is so strong I can still taste it from vaping it last night. I have ate 2 meals and brushed my teeth since

No allergies to anything other than oak pollen and other types of pollen. I do get a similar reaction to strong perfumes and air fresheners. It is the strong underlying flavor/scent in them that seems to be causing the reaction. I can't put my finger on what the taste/smell is but it is in all 7 of them. It is what I still taste and smell today not the individual types of juices. I get similar juices from my local juice store that doesn't have that underlying scent/flavor and get no such reactions.
