New member... and General Juice question

[Angelux]

Hey all,
I've been usung this forum as a fantastic place for all my research when hopping onto the "vape-train."

I tried a TAWA PV, and absolutely loved everything about it! I have just recently gotten a 510 from MFS, and a few juices as well... This is where my "newbie-ness" kicks in:

I cannot tell if it's the PV or the juice, but I got all 18mg flavors, and they all taste like old chewing tobacco spit... I'm not mixing atty's or anything, so it's not a case of bad mixes... it's hard to describe, but after each hit, I'm left with a terrible after-taste, like you get when you swallow chewing tobacco spit. Be it the flavor "Mar-Bro... in tobbacco spit" or "Wintergeen, floating in a pre-salivated tobacco leaf," there is no escaping the sensation.

This sensation was not even close to being present with the TAWA (generic one I bought at a quick-e-mart) PV... I really liked the flavor there.

I've read damn near everything on dripping, topping, wetting, cleaning, etc. for the 510 and general atty's, and no matter the proccess, there it is.... the lingering "Skoal-lugie."

So, all you "Masters of the Vape," I ask you this: What is it? Is it:
a.) Too much nicotine in the juice, and I should go down to a lower amount (currently at 18mg)?
b.) Two bad atty's... or atty's that need to be somehow cleaned in some way that I don't know about?
c.) Bad juices?

Thank you for your guidance, and I hope to once again (asap) be enjoying the fantastic world of vaping!

Here's my guess, you are getting a bit of juice in your mouth.
It is tingly and kind of tastes like you describe.

This could be from flooded atomizers, or overfilling your cartridge.
There are even a few other ways this can happen too.

did you blow out the atty before trying it out? they are shipped with a terrible tasting priming liquid that needs to be removed before it tastes any good

Try blowing out the atty. Hit the button a second or 2 before inhaling slowly.
As for 18mg. level, that's a good starting point for full flavor cig.

Were you smoking full flavor, not light cigs?

Or it could be that you just dont like that particular vendors juice.
If all else fails try ordering some juice from another supplier.
There are tons of recommendations for juice in the juice reviews here.

Thanks for the info! I'll try to (again) clean the atty's out... and I'm pretty sure I've got the right fill level (swampy, not a lake)... but will continue to experiment with the fill-levels...

I smoke (though almost not, now) Camel Light analogs... so not quite "full-flavoured." On my next order, I'm going to get 10ml's of the full specrtum of nic levels under 18mg... as well as trying various suppliers (which I only have purchased from those recommended on this forum).

But just so I'm sure: The very present flavor of chewing tobacco (currently equally in "cig flavor," apple, and wintergreen, all from the same supplier), should this be common at 18mg?

Try putting those juices aside for a few days, or a week. I was thinking it was more of a oily taste (never having chewed). I think it was because the two place I ordered from mixed them right before shipping, and the flavor hadn't diffused yet. One I couldn't stand two days ago, is better now. It's not my favorite, but I can vape it. Just a thought.
