Dena - are you drinking lots of water? I find that when I drink liquids other than water, my juice tastes go all wonky.

I tend to taste my juice better when I'm drinking Diet Coke :blink:

Holy cow, maybe that's it! I don't know why I didn't think of it. I'm drinking rum and coke tonight. But..but..if that's it..I can't drink rum and coke and vape???

That's bad. That's VERY bad!

Mystery solved! I don't drink, but my buddies who do have reported similar experiences with vaping and drinking. One of them only vapes one specific juice while he drinks because everything else tastes funky to him.

Were you drinking rum and coke?

Actually, come to think of it, the last time this happened I'd been drinking rum and coke for two or three evenings, and I did notice it was better during the day though still not quite right. So maybe that's it for me.

OTOH, I have had a couple of beers in the evening and not had any trouble. Hrm.

If thats what is causing it for all of you, i'm glad I don't drink anymore. But I had learned a while back that if I have coffee with my vape I will loose the flavor of the juice for a while as well.

Tucson, it's a dry heat
Just remember that diet soda does not hydrate like water. I make sure I drink twice as much water to diet coke to make certain I don't get dehydrated. Also, nix the caffeine - it does not mix with nic (double stimulants!)

My basement smells like an LDS relief society brewing home made root beer. Now I just need to make the funeral potatoes and green jell-o.

Divinity flavored juice? I had to say it though it would be awful.

And for everyone raving about butterscotch all the time... I like it. I'm not a huge butterscotch person. And when I tried it in a dripper I didn't like it yesterday but I threw some in a protank tonight and its pleasant. I don't know about an ADV but its in rotation. I'm still trying to find that one though.

When I had it awhile back, all of my juices tasted like sour milk.....and I hate milk! It went away after about 3 or 4 days.


That was not my experience. Mine was more like yours. I could taste them but they didn't taste right. Kind of like....I don't know....that gum that never loses its flavor but tastes yuck after a while. Sour is a good description.

Yeah I drink way too much diet coke too. Never noticed any problem with the coffee though..but then I only have one cup in the morning.

On the water now anyway..can't have my vape tasting bad. It's actually kind of coming around already. Thank goodness..I don't want to go through several days of this again. That really must have been it.

Tried my first absinthe flavored juice today when I went back to the newest B&M here in KC. Drake's was the brand juice is Alchemist. I expected to hate it but instead absolutely love it. Of course MBV has an absinthe but it's OOS like so many others right now. Has anyone in here tried it that could give their impression?

MBV/FW Absinthe is pretty strong and not unpleasant.
I can't imagine it as an ADV but it's good as "Now for something completely different"

Arizona Arnold Palmer seems to amplify flavors for me.

If thats what is causing it for all of you, i'm glad I don't drink anymore.
But I had learned a while back that if I have coffee with my vape I will loose the flavor of the juice for a while as well.

I used to say "I don't drink any more...or any less". Now I just don't drink. 25 years :)

That being said, Kahlua or Butter Pecan go well with coffee (cream/Splenda).

I tried getting by with just green tea instead of coffee a few days ago. Nope. Vice-on-head by dinner.

Haven't really experienced vapors tongue all that much myself. Sometimes on a single night I might experience it for that evening only, if for example I'm test dripping a ton of wildly different flavors, but with regular day-to-day, glad to say I've avoided meeting that ugly beast.

That said, I always drink a lot of water anyway, always have due to the fact that I've had kidney stones twice. I never go anywhere without my water bottle so I usually go through about a gallon a day (yes I pee a lot too! LOL) :blush: But no vaping on the toilet!! Don't wanna experience what that other dude did!! ROFL :lol:

When I'm not doing water, it's espresso or tea (chai or green most often). Actually I usually put a shot or two of espresso in my chai tea and love it that way too. Never much liked soda and still don't to this day. Fruit punch and iced tea on the other hand... those would be my sugary treat drinks, well except for....

I do drink alcohol but only in social situations so not much around the house or anything, pretty much only when I'm out. However, on nights out with the girls, I can easily put away 5 or 6 drinks: margaritas, malibu's, rum, raz stoli's, whatever's striking my fancy at the moment, and still have no problem vaping... I dunno, maybe cuz of all the water already in my system??


Oh and I nearly forgot, VAPEMAIL today!! Woohoo!! :banana: Got the Black Clove that Roonies sent me. Right out of the mail, all I could taste was black licorice and no clove at all, so it's sitting in the Bad Boy Box with the cap off till tomorrow. I think she told me she never even opened it so I figured it never really got a proper steep even though it's born on date was 6/1. So I'm thinking the Black in the name refers more to the black licorice as opposed to Djarum Black as I was hoping, but we shall see how it goes. I could always add some of the MBV Clove juice to it myself so it may end up being a work in progress to see if I can emulate the nice, spicy taste of my old favorite Djarum Blacks.

I also got a couple samples from another forum member I swapped with. Tiger's Blood from Zeus is really tasty and could almost be the replacement for FuZion's XTC that I'm looking for. Mom & Pop's Butterfly Bait was pretty tasty as well, but I forget what it tastes like now, must revisit it again shortly. Haven't tried the Vanilla Ice yet... I'll save it for the end of the night right before I rinse out my atty since I figure the peppermint in it would linger and make everything else taste off since I tend to just drip one compatible flavor over another.

Re the XTC replacement, Hawk Sauce is very close but not quite, probably because it doesn't have the coconut. XTC is red fruits, sweet cream, and coconut. I still only have the 10ml size of XTC I'm working from and was originally planning to buy the 30ml except I'm not happy with his recent price hike, and automatically adding a flavor boost to all his juices now, especially when you still have to pay the jacked up price even if you request it w/o the extra flavor. To me, XTC was fine without the flavor boost and from what I've heard all of FuZion's flavors were all pretty strong to begin with (even though most of their fan boys seem to get the flavor boost), so I'm hoping to find another juice from someone else that'll satisfy that itch. Besides, I refuse to pay $18 for 30ml when per his own admission, he builds most of his flavors using TPA flavoring. Even my 2 favorite boutique vendors (Ahlusion and AiV) charge less than that for 30ml and they use their own in-house extractions, not off-the-shelf stuff. I really don't know where Shane gets off thinking he can get that much for his stuff!! :-x *rant off*


Anyway, so that's one of my quests, to find a juice that tastes just like FuZion's XTC, a candied red fruits mixed with sweet cream and a hint of coconut. Any suggestions?

Add some MBV Coconut to Hawk Sauce

Coconut's a great flavor on it's own too

I've had the same thing happen...seems to get worse after a night of drinks but it did go away pretty quick......:laugh:

Last week I put an order in at AIV for my lovely wife who is very artsy and after reading about them, wanted some I think more for the presentation than the juice :facepalm: ANYWAY.....while I was there, I went to Catapillars lab, and threw in a bottle of Mind Toulouse for me. Every time we go to the French Quarter, we make it a point to stop in The Old Absinthe House and have a few. I know it's not Real Wormwood absinthe as that's illegal now, but I like the experience...I'm nerdy that way..:blush: Please let me know how the MBV absinthe is...

ONE MORE THING...sorry for the Back to Back posts...not trying to HOG the thread...just trying to catch up with the pages that seem to populate magically overnight :blink:

Mind Toulouse is one of the few AiV flavors I haven't tried yet since I'm not a huge fan of black licorice. Unfortunately I haven't heard much talk about it either surprisingly. I think there's only one fan of absinthe who posts over in the AiV thread and he loves the stuff. Would love to hear what you think of it. I think I recall hearing it did need a good steep so a great candidate for your newly found UC. w00t w00t!

Had my vapemail sent to my parents house because I don't trust our mailman/mailbox system. Came home to see my dog has opened my vapemail and was in the process of chewing through 4 15ml bottles. Thank god I came home in time before he really got into them. Looks like only one bottle was punctured with minimal missing. Told my parents to just keep An eye on him and also to make sure any future mail gets put up away from the pups reach. The bottle he was chewing on was only 6mg thank god! My bosses 24mg was in that shipment too, would of been much worse I imagine

I never thought about how tempting a package full of juice would be to the dogs. It must just smell like food to them.

OMG that's terrible!! Glad you caught it in time. That could've gone very badly had he made it through any more of that juice!! I'm just glad he's okay. You're gonna have to train him... doggies don't vape! :vapor:
