I was finishing up a bottle of my favorite VV juice and had about 1ml left in my tank when I popped open a new bottle of the same flavor.

I filled the rest of my tank to top it off for the day and I noticed after the following days, the flavor started to change... I proceeded to steep the new bottle by leaving it uncapped in the dark for a couple days.

I even tried a few new cartos in different combinations of LR and SR

I still have the same new different flavor- not quite as crisp as my last bottle. Note it is not significantly worse, but it is definitely different.

Its odd because my last bottle, I was able to pop it open and start vaping away and it had a wonderful CRISP flavor.

Just wondering if anything has changed.

Could also be your tastebuds. I notice changes during the evening sometimes when I vape alot on the same liquid then in the morning things are fine again. Just saying it could be that too. No idea about new recipes or formulas...what flavor is it?

Also I am guessing such changes that Kitty mentioned can occur due to the lack of chemicals in the organic mixes. Where an inorganic flavoring may contains stabilizers or fillers to "retain freshness" these would not. Think of it like organic fruit vs. non organic fruit. If you buy organic 'nannas they spoil within 2 days. But the ones with pesticides and chemicals on them stay fresh for over a week.

Just thinking out loud of course. I know nothing of whether this is the case or not. :p

Yes, I'm interested in knowing which flavor too, alpha! I do know that no formulas have changed. I'm thinking it's the overlap of the well-steeped "last of the bottle" and the fresher bottle.

I think Kitty is right. Or another possibility, Annette got to the end of one of her batch mixes, which had time to steep and the new batch had not fully been steeped.

I have been having Annette make the Kona Velvet Milkshare in 50VG/50PG till Kona Coffee Milkshake is ready. My first few bottles were no steeping needed. Then the next one I opened needed to steep. So I had to order 3 one ounce bottles so they have time to steep before I needed them. I'm falling back on Black Cherry Marshmellow and Orange Creamsicle until the Kona Velvet is steeped.

I thought it would have been my tastebuds too, but I layed off for a few days to let it steep.
The flavor im referring to is Plum Crazy.

The last bottles I had were good from the moment I opened them. I wish I was better at describing it but the new flavor I am tasting is almost like plum SOAP where the original was like plum juice.

Tropical storm is also a completely different flavor than I remember.

Ill continue to buy it, I was just wondering if anyone knew something I didnt.
Its possible I just got funky bottles.

Ill wait a few weeks and go back to the plum, its still on my all time favorites list.

I got that one on order too : -/

I am assuming you've tried a good shake? Sometimes that can make all the difference lol.

I have days when my regular all day flavors 2 of them seem off. change cartos clean Viva tank heads nothing helps. Next day everything is back to normal. Drives me crazy, I know I have thrown away a lot of good cartos and dumped good juice, so now I just suffer through the bad taste days. I refuse to go back to analogs.

Thats prolly your taste buds. I go through the same. Especially if you have any kind of sinus or allergy issue history, this is par the course. Switching flavors helps. Cayenne pepper or even a mild H2o2 rinse will kickstart your pallette back into action. Dairy will also add to the problem greatly as the casein is not your friend.
