Make the peanuts go away!

[davew]

ok so 9 days in now and I just switched to the vaporking from the 510. I am noticing that every flavor I try (at least 10 so far) has a background peanut taste and it's driving me nuts.

Should I wait a week before throwing in the towel on flavors? I seem to do ok with the standard USA Mix type flavors.

Fun fact: Peanuts are actually a vegetable. Well not all that fun...

 

[falsedichotomies]

I seriously have no idea what to say.

Peanuts? Not even the Peanut Butter Cup tastes like Peanuts to me, hehe. So glad I randomly found VK first and have not tried any other brands though.

 

[falsedichotomies]

Oh, and isn't a peanut technically a legume?

 

[Joe Camel]

Yer right, my bad. I just remembered its not a nut heh.

 

[Taryn]

This is the first I've heard of a background flavor like that, has anyone else experienced it also?

Perhaps you are tasting the bit of added VG that V4L uses in it's mixtures? I'm not sure if the juices you used before had any VG in them or not.

 

[Blue Skies]

I sort of get a "nutty" taste in the tobacco flavors, but I wouldn't go as far as say i taste specifically peanut in any flavors. Which flavors have you tried?

 

[MrHyde]

Well, what were those 10 flavors? I haven't tasted anything really nutty in any of the flavors, but I've only used the VK from V4L as my only PV so perhaps I just don't know any better o.o

 

[newb]

Which flavors if you dont mind telling us?

 

[davew]

Banana, Cinnamon, Cola to name a few. On my way out the door right now so I can't check what they all were. Maybe it is more "nutty" than peanut.

 

[Kimmy]

No clue. Never heard anyone utter a word about a nutty taste in cin roll, or any of the flavors you listed. Perhaps it is just from the switch, or your perception.

Perception can be tricky. Stop expecting them to taste like peanuts, and focus on the name on the label. I had to do this a few times when I went down in nicotine, everything tasted different, naturally I was ....... So I changed the way I thought about it and the taste went back to normal. If that makes any sense at all.

This is a mystery to me. I have tried nearly 70 of V4L's flavors and the only one that tastes nutty to me is the 555...and its suppose to taste nutty.

i bought a couple of 510 atties earlier this week and i think your haveing residual taste from your 510 because now that you say that When i use the 510 atties i get a "nutty" taste.

I have always used Cartomizers and just got the attys to experiment. So i would give it some more time and then you should be a happy cartomizer user.

sometimes I'd get "peppery" or "plastic-y" but never peanutty. Could be your tastebuds. Could be you're not digging the juices. (Blank carts and diffrent brand juices could be your savior) Could be your crazy

I found, just because I'm picky about taste and such that buying blanks and filling 'em myself elimiated any taste problems I had. The "Strange" tastes wern't the same for me, it varied from cart to cart letting me know it was just me, and my finicky taste buds not the carts.

 

[Nilius]

I have noticed this on some of the flavors as well

 

[davew]

I might be crazy but that's beside the point

I grabbed a couple blanks and filled them with Kona coffee and USA Mix (My standards). The tastes seem better and after quizing my wife it turns out that it might just be me.

Looks like I need to order a bunch of juice, blanks, and get some syringes.

on a side note, I wish I got more vapor on the batt, I get a good amount on the PT.

 

[Wildcard]

Could be similar to my experiences where nothing is tasting consistently the same. But I'm not going to be able to make accurate analogies until my taste buds recovery from 25 years of smoking. I haven't noticed an underlying peanut butter flavor in my cartos.

 

[davew]

I am starting to think that the 1 drag I took off a peanut butter cup ruined my taste buds for the rest of the night. I will test more when I get home today.

 

[Nilius]

I am noticing that vapor flavors change within hours or days, depending on what I have eat, drink or even the time of day. Yesterday I couldn't taste a thing in the pineapple cartos, today it tastes completely different

 

[keyzygirl]

Your NUTS!!!!!hahaha

Peanut butter cup has a really peanut butter taste to it for me. Not much cup. It's also a really strong taste that seems to linger with me for a bit afterwards. But I also vape the really mild stuff usually, like vanilla.
