Steve, I don't know how, but you are wrong here. This stuff isn't the same. It isn't just the color... the aroma and the taste IS different.

I vape this stuff all day. I know the cashcap by smell... this stuff doesn't even smell close, never mind taste.

I REALLY want to return it.

Do I need to drive over to see Terraphon, have him vape my old stuff and compare to the new stuff and have him contact you so you'll believe ALL OF US that have posted here? JEEZEALOU!!

guys - you can't determine juice by color.

I have 16/24/36 sitting on the shelf as we speak. I opened one from each strength (all from this new batch) and they are in fact CASHCAP as I remember it. I have an old bottle of coffee sitting on the shelf as well -- And the two are not even close.

Okay, but we can determine by taste. Steve, something is wrong here. Is it possible you've got a shipment with bottles of both all labeled the same? I finished my old bottle of Cashcap two weeks ago. That stuff tasted sweet like coffee with cream and sugar. This stuff tastes bitter like black coffee. It's not sweet at all.

Would it help if we sent back our bottles unopened so they can be checked? We've got multiple reports of distinct flavor difference. I know it seems like too much trouble but really now. I bought 7 bottles and I more than likely got every one of them with this anomolous flavor. I'm just supposed to deal with it? We're talking about people that are doing ONE TO ONE comparisons. Thats FLAVOR comparison. You mean to tell me that Hellen can't tell the difference between the smell and taste of Cashcap directly compared to the stuff we apparently all received in a single minute/second between switching juice? She has a PICTURE of the new stuff sitting next to the old. This is the same level of testing I have done, and no doubt what Curtis has done also. SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE. Please try to address this issue with what WE received, not what you have on the shelf. Curtis may be able to help you with that, and I urge you to work with him. I'm sitting here in Oregon, so I'm no good without sending the stuff back. At this point, I would prefer someone be standing there in front of you when we prove we are not all crazy, but if I must, I will arrange to send my opened and unopened bottles back to you AT MY OWN COST so you can verify that there is an issue.

Hellen ... That's not needed. If you would like to return it, we would be more than happy to exchange it for another juice.

Curtis -- Haven't ordered coffee is months bud, so there is no mix up. Feel free to return and have it exchanged for something else.

Hey Saint,

If the bottles are unopened, you can return them for exchange of another juice or complete refund.

Guys --- I have seen this exact same thing happen roughly 20 times .... Someone says the juice tastes odd, or not the same as before, it sets off a wild fire and before you know it, everyone and their grandmother thinks what they got isn't the same. Its happened with our menthol, happened with our riskee, happened with pretty much every single flavor.

For those that are unhappy with their CashCap, bottles opened can be returned and exchanged for another liquid, sealed bottles can be returned for a refund.

The Cashcap I LOVE is similar in flavor to the 555. They both have the same "nuttyness". I know this because when I ran out of Cashcap, I got by with 555. This stuff tastes like neither.

I taste zero nuttyness in CashCap and never have -- I LOVE 555, and don't like Cashcap -- Although I know the flavor quite well.

CashCap is a mixture of mostly Coffee and Chocolate, with a couple other flavors mixed in. I wouldn't put it past them if they accidentally added more Coffee over any of the other flavors.

Steve, they FORGOT the other flavors for this batch.

To make matters worse, I wanted cashcap soooo bad, after I got it, I didn't bother to smell it, and mixed one 24mg bottle 50/50 before I vaped it and realized it was off tasting. Dammmmmmmit...

AND I've opened all the 24 ml bottles too... ALL four of the 24ml are bad (smelled them, didn't even need to vape them, they don't have 'the' aroma). Didn't go find my 1/3 of a bottle and the sample out to have to compare until they'd already been opened in hopes I'd gotten at least one good one.

I haven't bothered to open the 36mg ones... same color, I'm sure they'll be the same weird coffee.

Steve, am I screwed for opening all 4 bottles... ???:confused:

You are dealing with the CashCap addicts and CashCap connoisseurs here... We all buy this stuff 6 and 7 bottles at a time. I rarely touch other flavors I have sitting around here! Honestly, I freaked when it wasn't smelling and tasting the same, lol.

Please send me replacements of the CashCap... AMBER liqud real CashCap replacements? Pleeeeeeeseeeee Steve. I'm a jonesin' for the Cap and I don't have much left (thank goodness I found those bottles!!!).

How do we proceed for returning them?
Thanks!

Well, I appreciate you making it at right as you can. I really wish it tasted the same, because it's become my favorite. Even more so than Riskee. I would rather have the same stuff I had a couple of weeks ago, but if I cant I'll just send it back.

This doesn't even taste like it has chocolate in it. It tastes like coffee and french pipe to me.

I didn't like the 555 until I had the Cashcap, but then I noticed they had a (to me) slightly similar aroma.

I'm baffled.

Curtis -

If you like 555, you can shoot us the CashCap back and we can send you 555 as a replacement.

I like 555, but not that much. Ha! I guess I'll just keep what I have and try to mix it to my liking. Maybe add some chocolate or something. Nothing else compares, but at least this stuff has a coffee type flavor.

I think it's hilarious that this was never brought up again even after they put this up on the website:

"DISCLAIMER: Many of you fell in love with our *old CaSHcap* This new Cashcap is NOT the same as the old Cashcap. The old Cashcap had a Milky/Cinnamon/Honey undertone, where this one has more of a Coffee/Chocolate undertone. For those of you who loved the old CashCap ... we will be trying to bring it back again, named something else so we don't get the two flavors confused. Thanks!"

You guys truly refuse to ever admit when you're wrong, don't you?
Dang, how many pages did you have to go down to find this one??

haha, he did admit the disconnect in another thread actually, well after this one was dead.

Boy! This just shows exactly how much difference there is in the way individuals taste these juices, doesn't it?
The first Cash-Cap I bought (sometime in June, I think, and of which I'm still hoarding my last few ml) was medium dark in color, and tasted like coffee, caramel and chocolate, basically in that order.
Then this fall, I got more, after a batch came in, and that is where it changed for me. The newer batch was floral/fruity and much lighter in color. More like it has some of that Chinese caramel put into it instead of the buttery, darker caramel. I taste absolutely no cinnamon in either one, nor any milky-honey. I was a clove smoker, so maybe my taste buds are just toasted more than most.

PS offered to take it back in exchange, but I, too, decided to keep it. I added more coffee flavoring, a bit of chocolate and a bit of Capella caramel, and it is a perfectly good vape like that. I just had to overpower the fruitiness.

Anyway, when you come out with a new one, please do me the favor of telling me whether this one tastes more like the older, darker one, or the newer lighter colored one, please?

Not that i know your exact situation, but to try to be neutral a bit, i will say this. I am a Test Engineer, like for real, its what i do. If you have an issue, and it can't be repeated, then there really isn't a way to fix it.

If you could have figured out how to repeat the issue, then, i am sure it would have gone a lot better for you. The technology behind these things really isn't that complex. You had a connection issue somewhere, and removing the resistor fixed it, okay, i understand that. Does this mean the resistor was the issue? No, i don't think so. Is it possible that the resistor was the issue? Sure, its possible. I would bet you had a connection issue that the resistor was worsening, and even prohibiting functionality, and this issue was alleviated by the additional current allowed to pass once the resistor was removed.

deep breath.
