No taste

[kjg15130]

I have been buying juice at a good local shop. What is happening is that I try the juice in the shop using their mod, and the flavor is rich and smooth. Then I buy the juice and put in my mod when I get home. No flavor. I don't get it. I use a Joytech mod with an Aspire Triton tank. I vape at 38 W. Even put in a new coil.
Menthol is the only flavor that works.

My B&M's samplers have usually been sitting around for awhile, and then they grab a 'fresh' bottle of whatever flavor I want. The fresh stuff often doesn't have much flavor, and therefore needs some time to "steep" to achieve full maturity (god, I sound like a wine snob!) So I usually keep it in a cabinet for a week or two (or three) to "age" it some.

Otherwise, have you tried changing coils and fiddling with wattage and airflow on your device?

This is probably due to the difference between your device and whatever device the shop uses. Explain the dilemma to them and possibly they'll let you use your own.

at my local B&M i have the same issue with some house e-juice that you need to let it steep for a little time open the bottle and let the air get to it and also put in cool dark space but not the fridge that is too cold someone also once said heat but not massive heat will aid in steep process

They probably use a CE4 with an eGo battery for customers to sample their liquids. Those run at a much lower wattage than your mod, and the coil in theirs is probably close to 2 ohms resistance. You might be a sub-ohmer since you're running at 38 watts. Your coil is most probably below 1 ohm.

Yes, my coil is at .5 ohms.

Thanks man.

Different types of juice attachments will vary in how much flavor and vapor is produced. Differences in wick type used (cotton, rayon, silica), resistance (standard or sub-ohm) and coil types, and wattage used to power the coil(s).

When visiting a sampling bar, I try to use my personal drip setup to sample the flavors. That way I am pretty much assured that what I taste at the bar I will taste at home.

Should I try a 1.8 ohm coil ?

It wouldn't hurt to try one or even a few different resistances to see what you like - you might be better suited to a more MTL-style tank which would give you better flavour at the expense of less 'clouds'...

 

[kjg15130]

I am definitely MTL. What tanks would you recommend ?

 

[Continuity]

Well, the SXK Wine and the Kayfun v3 are bothe highly regarded, modern MTL tanks, and they're both available really cheap - around USD$12 each for an original Wine and a decent clone of the KF v3.
