Kickbass Vapor Steeping Problems...

[okiedokiesmokie]

Ok so I placed my first order from KBV in June and rec'd it not long after. I was very very pleased with all but one of the flavors and have tried saving them in order to savor them because they're just so yummy. Not going to go into too much detail about them but I have a question directed towards people who've also ordered from them...

Has anyone else noticed the flavors of their juices changing as time passes? As I vape them now, they taste different than they did in the beginning, and not for the better. I'm thinking I might have to place frequent small orders of the juices I like of theirs in the future, like one or two at a time, because I'm not liking what they taste like after a month or two.

I guess I just want to hear if other people have noticed the same thing; like if this is specific to their juices or is this a common thing across the board.

Danke in advance for all input )

Well, the best way I can think of testing this is to order another bottle of the same stuff that you liked but not so much now. If it tastes better, then perhaps you enjoy them fresh. If it tastes the same, then perhaps it's just your taste buds changing

yes, i have noticed some of their flavors "evolving" so to speak, and not always for the better...
its sad because day one with Caramel Capp was beautiful....after that, it always tasted like burnt caramel popcorn..
i thought perhaps it was the carto, but sadly, it wasn't.

I had the opposite experience. I thought one of my fav juice was beginning to taste not-so-yummy. I ordered a fresh 15ml bottle to get "the good fresh stuff". It tasted exactly like the other one. I think it's my taste buds.

crap... ok yeah, I'm gonna have to buy again and test them out. (for scientific purposes, of course)

I really do hope it's not my tastebuds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's hard to tell why. Did the joose get hot? How are you storing it? I tried some older KBV Pineapple Shake and it tasted normal (although the aged liquid was a richer color) and vaped well. It could be that certain jooses don't store as long as others.

How old were the jooses and what flavors?

I ordered them in June and they're made to order so they were fresh; it's only August and I have noticed the change in color on all of the juices, as the majority of them were clear and now are much darker. I always store my juices in a little box I've cut the top off of along with the rest of my carto's and stuff and leave that in a drawer that isn't anywhere near a window. My house is always kept really cold too.

I do live in Miami though and it gets HOTTTT like HOT like an oven (literally). No it's not 250 degrees, but opening the front door of the house feels like when you open the door to an oven. (you get that kick in the face) So whatever I'm vaping goes with me in my purse... but I don't think that would make that much of a difference. Do you?

anyway, going to order some new atty's and cartos and see if that's it. I had cleaned some of my old cartos and refilled them with the KBV juices... thinking that might have been it, i filled a blank 510 LR Carto and it tastes burnt... it might be the juice, might be the carto, Idunno. The only other cartos I have are the clear vortex ones and those don't do well with dark juices so I have to wait til i get new ones.

Flavors: Mommas Angel Wings, BOB's OMG, Rice Krispity Treat, Jamaican Ginger Mint, Monkey Bread...

Hard to tell. At least in my case my own taste changed pretty dramatically over the first three - four months. Things I really liked in month one just didn't taste good to me at three. I knew it wasn't the eliquid -- I store in a cool, dry, dark, basement, it actually was my own tastes evolving. I PIF'd some of the liquid, others who did like those flavors said that, yes, the liquid was good.
