I just ordered 2 wow mango's off your website. It tastes awful. Like something went horribly wrong. I am wondering if this is possible or if you changed anything on the mango and I should never ever order it again or if this is a seriously big fluke, as two bottles of different mg just taste..... ..... I cant even describe the measurement of wretchedness... I have now ruined three carts by just putting the "flavor" in them. The old mango used to be my absolute favorite flavor ever. I am extremely discouraged at this moment. Please educate me.

Thanks,
Jason

PM the guys and gals at V4L, they will make it right. I won't try to understand your problem cus vaping mango, to me, it would just always taste bad. Hope it's just your tastebuds changing, cus that happens a lot when you first start vaping. One week you will love a flavor, the next week you hate it.
I think I have some old eggnog and pumpkin pie cartos I can send you, gratis , I will look:)

I have been vaping for a while now and have found that mango has been my favorite. I actually had some of the old before the new and it was just as wonderful as the day I bought it. I hope they didn't change anything, I really really hope it's a bad batch as it seems to be. I don't believe I would like eggnog or pumpkin pie, thank you for the offer though, but I'll just wait to hear back from V4L. =)

It could be the batch, if all the Mango was made in one base batch shot (probably was) then it will all be off. I have only noticed this with mixed flavors, but it must be even more evident on a straight fruit flavor. I find the recipes never change but the flavoring suppliers do and that can literally change a flavor into something else.

I would think of a back-up flavor, maybe have V4L just send out 1 bottle (or 7 ml sampler) of Mango, if it doesn't taste right to you, then perhaps they will be kind enough to allow you to get 2 bottles of a different flavor. Of course this up to policy, juices as a whole are an non-returnable item so keep that in mind. V4L can't really do anything with used juices, so if the Mango is still funky after the 2nd pass, you may want to wait until a new shipment comes in and put your bottles up for trade.

This exact thing happened to me with the pineapple. OMG!!! after 2 vapes I was afraid to use it - something was sooooooo very very very wrong. It had a bad chemical taste. I threw it out. I ordered another bottle - same exact thing! I threw it out too. I kept wondering if the e-juice was made in China or something. I mean you read all the time about bad baby formula, bad toothpaste, bad dog treats ( the list goes on).......

I have consistently ordered my favorite Wowboy and Col.Caramel.... no problems. Absolutely delicious. But that pineapple was beyond bad. I couldn't even really taste any fruit - just chemicals. I didn't contact V4L, I just thought it was a fluke. But I really should have notified them. That was 2 30ml bottles down the drain. Literally.

That was the only time I had a bad bottle though.

I appreciate when the members notice something is wrong with the flavors that they have used in the past. It's very upsetting when the formula, supplier, or whatever has changed, and no one is at the wheel there to taste these things.
I forgot who it was, I think it was Mark, used to say he loved the Mango. Can Mark try the Mango and see what he thinks? Is there anyone there who knows what the pineapple is supposed to taste like...perhaps they will add their opinion. I LOVE the mango...but now am afraid to order it again. Ditto to the pineapple.

I would not suggest putting it up for trade. Someone who is expecting the usual Mango surely wouldn't appreciate getting bottles from you that taste like chemicals. If it is truly THAT bad, don't pawn it off on someone else. (sorry, Snow, I just don't agree...).

Ugh!! I recently ordered a box of carto's of Margarita and had the same experience. To begin with, the shopping cart doubled 3 of the five items in my cart.. I dont understand this at all! When I emailed back, nobody answered, so it shipped that way... I decided it wasn't THAT big a deal so I never said any more. But when my order came, I ended up with TWO boxes of these margarita cartos... OMG! I have drank a bizillion margaritas in my life... weak ones, strong ones, made with cheap stuff, made with expensive stuff.. frozen or rocks, sour mix or juice, with Grand Marnier or not... well, you get the picture! But I have never ever had a margarita that tasted like 4-day-old gym socks!!! OMG, the worst tasting thing I could even imagine! Maybe you wanna trade me these horrible carto's for your horrible juice.. LMAO!! (we need a puke emoticon! LOL)

You do realize that it is made in China, right?

I'm certain I had WOW Mango both times, I even had the old bottle to compare it to. It was one of their old bottles that were shaped cool, anyway. Have you received a new mango shipment yet? I have been waiting for ages it seems. You fixed my 11mg but it's too harsh for my throat. (my gf vapes 11) 8 or below is my vape. Been smoking analogs for almost two months now, it's killin' me... *crosses fingers*

Rostrax, I am still waiting on a new shipment of mango. I'm sorry for the wait man.
