New Juice Issues from Suppliers

[radiokaos]

I have seen a few posts about some suppliers e juice not tasting right.

I have purchased some juices from two suppliers on this forum and I have to say I'm very disappointed. These juices are not even worth using. They seem like they are mixed with some flowers and dirt. I'm not looking to blame the suppliers but come on if they new this batch was bad why would they try selling it.

If you are having issues with a certain juice please list the problems such as taste, smell, vapor, etc. Also if you can list the flavor and strength it might give us a better idea as to what to avoid in the future.

The flavors that almost make me hurl are
1. Vanilla (18 mg)
2. Menthol (24 mg)

There is one more flavor I have not listed yet, and I will get a second opinion before I bash that flavor as well.

So if you ordered e juice within the last 2 weeks and you think it is vile please speak up.

In the past 7-10 days, I've gotten 2 orders of MEDIUM (14mg) menthol prefilled pentstyle carts, from 2 different suppliers.

They are BOTH "perfumey mint" & I can't tolerate them.

It's not an atomizer issue, I still have prefilled menthol carts from a prior order and it's completely different.

I've been buying prefilled menthol carts since last July & this is the first time I've noted such a difference in the formula.

i'm seeing posts like this as well but it makes me wonder if their liquid has changed?
not all liquids are created equal. imo
the last two batches i received are the best i've ever tasted.
i was hoping the current shortages would mean fresher batches.

i think any info carries more weight if the user reports a difference in taste from the same supplier. anything else may just be a matter of taste. some folks report great results about flavors that i think are just god awful, and vice-versa i'm sure.

It's funny i was just reading a thread in the Puresmoker section about the same thing.
Kinda strange ain't it?? I wonder if the juices come from the same factory??

I don't want to include the suppliers yet. I'm sure we probably know who they are. My main issue is that maybe these suppliers knew of these issues and still sold the e juice regardless. If these suppliers knownling sold this juice being aware of these issues I would be pretty upset.

I can't get the taste out of my mouth or nose. In fact even my pre filled carts don't taste the same. I'm only out $45.00. However if others also purchased this bunk juice then we have some major issues. I'm going to try to meet up with a well known reviewer this weekend to see if he hurls from my juices.

I ordered some juices 2 weeks ago (cherry and apple) and they were great. However this is not the case.

I recently got some RY4 from China that isn't all that great. I assumed it was because of the low nic content. Who knows. I also got some 555 from another supplier in the US that I have purchased from before, and that isn't as good as last time either.

Perhaps the recent spike in panic shopping has forced the manufacturers to "forgo" a step or 2 in their processes?

I have 8mg Vanilla purchased 3 weeks ago that's fine.

I just received RY4 and other flavors from dietsmokes and they were quite good, there is an expected shipment coming to me today, from a brand new supplier and I will share my feedback. I purchase almost 3 times a week to keep my stock up and have been disappointed with some of our better known people, of late

I think as supplies start to drop off, some of these juices may, get a bit weak

Maybe we should narrow it down to a purchase date of less then 10 days ago. Both of these shipments came in during the same time frame (Yesterday). I had two orders from two different suppliers with different e juices as well (Vanilla, Menthol, and XXX). I don't think I'm going crazy, and hopefully will have someone else try this stuff to prove that this is just nasty e juice.

I'm trying to find a way to describe the perfume/floral taste of these E Juices. It reminds of the product that you sprinkle on your floor before you vacuum so you can have have that potpourri smell in your carpet instead of the dog urine smell.

I emailed and PM'ed both suppliers yesterday and will advise if they are seeing a pattern here.

I've noticed this too but don't have anything to compare it to. This is the first time trying this juice. Ordered and received in the past 10 days. Definitely has a fragrant perfumish quality to it. Hard to describe.

Maybe the Chinese nic liquid manufacturers are using real PG now instead of antifreeze.

I got many from pure smoker, including a sample pack, so I know most of their flavors. Some taste better than others.

BUT
Cigar flavor is nasty. One puff I am coughing for a minute. Seriously. I have no idea what makes this liquid so different than the rest, but it is plain nasty.

The others may not all taste great, but they are not Nasty.

Risky Juice has acidic taste that stays in the cart and atomizer for quite a while. I actually washed the atomizers after a day that it did not go away. That is kind of another problem too, but nothing in the scale of the killer Cigar.

The problem you are talking about. Can you taste and smell it? I can smell the weird smell as soon as I open the bottle. It is very odd indeed. I have ordered the same flavor since I started e-cigs back last Nov. and have never had a problem until here lately. I have tried juice from e-cigsales and it was fine. I am trying a couple more suppliers to see if it is just this one having the problem.

 

[zachari]

To your question: The Nasty Cigar liquid has very strong smell, but its not a bad smell. The bad happens when you inhale. Having said that, its smell is stronger than other flavors. Risky juice has no distinctive smell.

 

[tpboles]

Zach, I think what you are saying is you just don't like the taste of the cigar liquid. I don't think that is what me and Radiokaos are reffering to. This is a weird smell and different from what the juice was like before. I don't care for the cigar liquid either, but that has nothing to do with the perfumey smell that the liquids are having now.

 

[zachari]

Dude, I think there is something really wrong with the cigar liquid. The taste is OK, but it stings your lungs and make you caught to death after one puff.

 

[radiokaos]

Yep, I think a few suppliers have this issue right now. I have received emails from 3 people all telling me the same thing.

I have received 6 emails from people telling me the same issues. As mentioned I have spoken with one vendor right now and I'm still awaiting response from the other. I wasted 3 atomizers, so maybe I should soak them to try to get rid of the smell and awful taste.
