Need Help Juice Problem

[asilagyi]

I bought the same bottle of 24mg juice that I always buy. The problem is that the juice is giving me no throat hit at all. Also, the last time the juice was very dark orange in color and I noticed immediately this time, that it looks a little bit lighter. Is it possible I received a bad bottle of juice and maybe the light orange color is from the lack of nicotine? The bottle states 24 mg on the label but it is giving me no throat hit whatsoever. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Edit* This juice always gives me great, strong throat hit like any 24mg juice should.

Thanks,

Alex

If it tastes the same I would not worry about the color but I would increase the power/voltage for more TH.

Maybe a bad batch, or have not gone through the steeping process.

I normally would agree with you, but this particular juice always gives a great strong throat hit and it is giving me next to nothing this time. The dealer is local so maybe I can ask for a replacement bottle.

I would ask the vendor if they have made any changes recently. I have heard of a few times vendors changing recipes or mixing differently, but not often. Maybe you got a "bad batch" (not made as advertised) or an incorrectly made batch by mistake

Thanks for the replies so far guys. Hopefully the vendor can give me a new bottle if I explain it to him. I just wasn't sure if anyone else has experienced the same problem and it's bugging the hell out of me.

It could be he had a "mix up" . May also be there's less PG in the juice...
Juice Components
Flavoring usually about 15%- could be higher or lower depending on the flavor used.
PG enhances flavor, TH and lung hit- water like - many of us believe PG to be a throat irritant.
VG= vapor and can mute flavor- thick
Nicotine- TH, lung hit and our need for nicotine. The MOST important ingredient in regards to TH and lung hit.
Standards in the industry are 80/ 20 or 70/ 30 PG/ VG.

I would take it back and explain the problem.

Thank you for your responses. Luckily the vendor is local, so I can give him a call and see if he will just replace the bottle or test it for himself. Something is definitely wrong and it worried me it was either my battery or my clearomizer. But everything seems to be working great and producing a lot of vapor it is just lacking any type of throat hit at all.

What in fact is the steeping process? I will give the forum a search for the answer.

Here's a good vid on steeping. Generally juices from smaller companies or Vendors that mix custom juices need steeping

Back when I used to order juices, almost all that would come in would be very light in color...it's because most ejuice vendors mix up your juice when you order it...so when you get it, it's fresh. Some juices are OK to smoke right away without steeping...but all those light color juices, after steeping, get a good bit darker and taste MUCH better...chances are...those bottle you bought before, had been made and sat there at the store waiting for someone to buy it...so it had already steeped when you bought it. This new bottle sounds like it's a fresh batch and needs to steep.

To steep...put the bottle in a cool dark place, like a cabinet going by several times a day and giving it a good hard shake. What this does, is makes all the ingredients mix together making a better tasting/smoother Vape.

Some Tobacco flavors do much better after steeping for at least 2 weeks in a dark cabinet...some are good to go after a week.

Thank you! I will see if he can just replace it, but this is great advice! Would this also have anything to do with less throat hit?

I DIY all my juices and usually plan ahead BUT when I need a juice quickly I use this fast steeping process. (uncapped includes removing the cap and nipple top):
Shake bottle and place in hot tap water for 30 mins. Shake bottle again and place uncapped in dark cupboard.
Next a.m. shake and place in cupboard uncapped.
Next a.m. shake and place in cupboard uncapped.
Next a.m. shake and vape.

Thank you! I will be doing this with all my juices from now on.

You're welcome. Also most Vendors will tell you if the juices need steeping.

Edit: Sometimes you'll get a juice that's smells and/ or tastes very chemical- like or perfumey- these definitely need steeping.

It tastes fine, the flavor is great it just lacks any throat hit!

I think the Vendor just made a mistake IMO. VERY nice avatar...is that your next PV?

Volcano is what I am vaping on now.

I would up the voltage and see if it's better.
