"Plastic" Tasting Juice

[Drevly]

I doubt this has only been experienced by me, so here goes. Have any of you gotten a juice that had a kind of plasticy/chemical taste that really doesn't go away? (not even much after steeping) ?
In particular, I had one from Vapor Bomb that was so bad this way I couldn't vape it at all. However, 2 others I got from them at the same time didn't have that taste. Several samples from Velvet Vapor all had it. Also, in a BWB sample I got recently I've noticed it. With the first 2 vendors I mentioned, that taste never went away, period, even as the juice aged quite a bit. Not sure on the BWB yet since it's still pretty new. At first I wondered if it was a vg taste cuz I'm more used to pg, but don't think that's it. Yukky. Thoughts? Input?

That plastic taste could be coming from the cart. I know with the 510 models, the cart has to be lined up a certain way with the atty or it will burn/melt the end of the cart.

Since you are getting that same taste from several different vendors, just thought I'd mention it.

appreciate the suggestion, but this is tru with different pv's i have. i vape 510, njoy, and on a saber. definitly the juice. i know someone here has to know what i'm talking about!

I had some vapor bomb stuff with a similar taste...i've had it for over a month and it hasn't improved. What was your pg/vg ratio on it just out of curiosity?

it was 50/50. i've wondered also if that's had anything to do with it. it seems the more "personal" vendors have had this problem, (as mentioned above). never w/dekang, top, etc. which flavor did you have it with? the vapor bomb one i had was praline. it was awful. and i've heard so many great things here about bwb, it's hard to believe that the taste is in one from them too.(ry4 in particular). do you know if more vg does cause this? some of the vendors don't give an option to chose between the two. (vg/pg.) that said, i'm much more used to straight pg, as i usually order from
V V, (dekang.) but i've never noticed the taste from madvapes either, and they are not dekang or otherwise foreign in any way shape or form on the majority of their stuff.(unless you specify dekang,)

i'd really like to get to the bottom of this so i don't waste time/money trying more places that have this chemical or whatever it is.this may also be a benefit to others that know this problem but just aren't replying. could some people actually like it? velvet vapors was definitely the worst for me. it was in all 3 flavors i tried from them. please more input guys??

i got like 5 from VB (mudslide, s'more, marshmellow, chocolate covered cherry, and Grand Marnier) at 80%VG and they all had that taste, subsequent orders from them I went with 80%PG and they didn't have that problem. I'm surprised you're having problems with BWB though as I've never had problems with Dons juices except that they usually need a few days of steeping to get the maximum flavor.

 

[Drevly]

not that taste at all w/bwb, or did any of his have it until they sat a few days? do you know what bwb's default formula for vg is? i don't think my order from don asked me about vg or pg for preference. i know some folks here take only vg, or get it as the larger percentage...vgr's...do you notice it???

 

[phorbin]

Don uses 70%pg30%vg. I didn't notice the chemical taste at all with his stuff....only that the flavors were very faint at first but came out really nicely after about a week.

I've tried 17 different Vaporbomb Flavors and only one, Green Apple, had a nasty chemical taste to it when I first recieved it and even seemed to get worse a few day later when I tried it again. A couple weeks later it had calmed down a lot although didn't entirely leave and I decided that just wasnt a flavor for me. Most of mine have been 70% VG 30%PG although some of the last I've ordered have been 50/50. VaporBomb is one of my favorite juice vendors. I also like FSUSA e-juice and only one of the 12 flavors I've tried, Blackberry, came with what I'd have to call a very soapy taste but that has gone away with time and turned into a very tasty juice.

Your problem is a common one that pops up from time to time (even if not often) for different flavors with all the vendors that mix their own juices. Sometimes people report that taste does go away with steeping and other times it still lingers even if less noticably with time. If I considered it a big problem I would contact the vendor to discuss.

Just a suggestion, but when I DIY, if the flavoring is too high, I get a yukky taste. Try diluting a little of your juice with either PG or VG and see if that makes a difference.

I found from these forums that taking the spout off the bottle and leaving it off for a couple of days helps. (don't know why though).

I recently recieved 2 bottles of very soapy e juice from mad vapes. I absolutely love thier cantalope, but the two small samples (5 ml) I ordered of very bery and apricot are so bad, I turned green. My sister got a blueberry that was the same way (can't recall the vender). I'm letting them seep with tops open (and I make them "breath" a few times a day). Could it be something about the smaller bottles? I'll try adding some glyceren, see if that helps. Anybody try adding a sweetener? I really like the fruit flavors but now I'm buying nothing but samples from different places to try to get a few good ones. What a hobby.....

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I let fruity flavors sit for a week. I tried a blueberry flavor right away and it was nasty. Week later it was good to go.

I've gotten the plastic tasting juices from VB also. Some have been sitting for about 3 weeks now and I just tried one and it still tastes that way. I think those are just definite write offs and I won't order them again. I do order 2 other flavors from them repeatedly though that are quite good and don't have that taste to it at all.

Could it be the company where the purchase the flavoring? Seem like they will use different suppliers....
