Hey guys, I recieved my order of Kretek and Atomic Cinnacide earlier this week. Both are awesome and I definitely plan on ordering from Tasty Vapor from now on. However, I have a problem with the kretek juice. This is probably a common problem that happens with all juices, but I was just looking for a little advice.

The day I got my juices, I had cleaned both my atty's pretty well. Five minute water soak, dripped and burned off alcohol, rinsed, and let dry. Then I dripped a few drops in each, let them sit for a while, and vaped. At first, the flavor was a bit bland (which I'm sure was just because I had just cleaned out the atomizers, my atty's are always pretty low performance-wise after I clean them), but after a while the taste really came out and the vapor production was great. This was a few days ago, and the taste has faded since then. It tastes pretty bland (its still a clove taste, but there's not much to it), and I'm not getting a lot of vapor. I soaked my atty in water to do a quick clean, but that didn't do anything for it. I'm guessing I just need to clean my atomizer with alcohol again, as this juice probably clogs it up. But any tips on getting the flavor/vapor back would be appreciated.

By the way, when I was getting some good vapes out of this stuff, it tasted just like a clove cigarette would. It even had that numbing effect on my mouth. Absolutely perfect.

I've been having similar issues and I've found a solution that works for me. I've been "blowing out" my attys and cartos after 5ml of TV juice. When I say blow out, I mean BLOW OUT. HARD. It usually takes a few good puffs and I've used a modified Q-Tip to get in and clean out the air holes. Once I've done that and let them dry out a bit, I refill them and everything is back to normal. It took a lot of trial and error but I've found this to be a good system. Good luck!

i have found that i get used to flavors too. to the same extent as a farmer that doesn't smell the manure his cows generate because he smells it all day long. your taste buds are filling up with that flavor.

a netti-pot might do you some good. but i just rotate my flavors to help minimize the effect.
