Personally, I would introduce it to the kitchen sink. We are talking about what, $2 tops in materials? But if you want to throw more good money at bad, Cotton Candy increases sweetness and kind of mask flavors a little. Might make it edible.

Iv been thinking bout just chucking it, I havnt got many concentrates so I was thinking fixing it and buying a few more concentrates, or should I just chuck the lot and find a new recipe?

Leave the cap off it and let it sit a couple days. if the soapy taste wont go away, it may be time to scrap it. I know it stinks to have to throw away a mix like that. I've done it more times than I care to admit. Part of the downside to DIY, but the upsides make up for it in the long run. Throwing that mix away and making a new one of the same size is still cheaper than a single 30 mil bottle of premium juice. When you think of it that way, the learning experience is a little less painful.

I am wondering did you happen to not rinse the bottle after washing it or not wash it after you bought it? Strange that you say it tastes like soap.

It had a blue slush flavour in already, so just used it without washing

 

[SteveS45]

Did one of the beakers or tools you used get near soap? I wash my bottles but I make sure I thoroughly rinse them in hot water multiple times. The soapy taste that you described has me thinking about soap. I have never come across a flavor that tasted like it though.

Yeah all washed out, I keep them in warm water while mixing too so there always rinsed

Odd to say the least that 10ML was good and 100ML tastes like soap. Keep us updated if it changes after letting it breath.

Hey buddy long time no speak! No problem, if I can offer a suggestion or an idea I always try to help. If not the OP sometimes others have a light go on and they find a solution to an issue they experience.

My fingers are crossed for ya!

Haha tastes like Parma violets, like the sweets, tastes just like that lol

 

[Jdurand]

One last effort you could try, is to cut it down by 50% with VG, ( you may have to kick the nic back up) maybe it is just over flavored, or at least it may be vapable in a more diluted form.

Just a thought.

 

[SteveS45]

Well if it didn't taste like soap before I don't think it is that but some flavors do react with others in ways that are unusual.

For those of us that speak English, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Still unsure if it's a good thing or bad thing but they look like Rockets candies and I love those.

Reminds me of Smarties:

Still wondering on the good/bad thing
