questions about juice.

[JO3VAP3R]

I recently got a few different juices from an store i had not visited before, but i was in a bind and needed something.
2 of the juices, which i wish to discuss here, are fruit based flavors.
they are 60vg/40pg mix.
Flavor 1 is called Krankberry. I have 2x 30ml bottles.
1 is 6mg nic and the other is 0mg. I blend them 50/50 to get 3mg nic.
this flavor was great while trying in the shop, of course using the throw away tank....
first vap in my Kanger subtank mini was horrible..... so i gave up on it and went to flavor 2
Flavor 2 is called Juicy. I also have 2x 30ml bottles
1 is 6mg nic and other 0mg..........
this flavor was even worse on first vape in my Subtank.... I bout had a fit....
So i went back to my not so great, but bareable blend of what i had left of this and that....
Yesterday i purchased a Itaste VF rda just to mess with.... not sure if i want to get into the whole build and drip deal, as i am a truck driver....
Very hard to drip and drive.... LOL....
anyways, i decided to try these two flavors again... they where good on the rda... great taste. decent vape...
So i did a super deep clean on both of my Kanger Subtank Mini's. I mean super clean.... Super hot (boiling hot) water 15 min soak, and then rinse, and new wicks.
Krankberry turned out pretty good after this.. it is very flavorful and has decent flavor and great vape now.
Juicy however, tastes like total crap still.... I have tried to vape it at many different Wattage levels. 15-30 watts.... no matter what it tastes burnt and just horrible....
Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this???
I am using the RBA base in my Subtanks. Both seem to be wicking just fine... So i am at a loss...
It is not a dry hit, just horrible burnt taste.... I have replaced the wick 3x now..... makes no difference.
the wicks where not burnt either..... I am at a total loss...
Any help and ideas would be awesome.
Thanks in advance...

We're these houses juices or company made juices?. If they're are house juice and they made them for you that day, then they need to steep or rest awhile so all the ingredients can mix together.

I would try turning down your volts/wattage some juices will actually burn before the cotton does. Unless you have a mechanical mod, then i would suggest building at a higher Ω so you will have a cooler vape and the juice wont burn up as easy.
Hope this helps, and good luck on your adventure!

Assuming you are using the RBA, Rip Trippers has a video on wicking the Subtank that does a good job of showing how to do it. Making sure the juice channels are not blocked helps keep the wicks saturated. Also, make sure the wicks are very wet before putting the cap on the chimney. When firing for the first time with a new wick, I usually start around 12.5 or 13 watts and work up. I don't generally get mine above 16 watts. Some of the juices I use are very sweet and have a tendency to burn quickly.

Some juices have a propensity to caramelize rather quickly when vaped and will give a burned flavor at much lower power levels than others and I find that fruit flavors that don't have some kind of a buffer like a custard or cake flavoring or something of that sort added especially peach flavors tend to burn very quickly where like my custards, pies and bread flavors don't burn as quickly and I myself enjoy a very warm to mildly hot vape. I doubt it is your equipment if one juice is good but the other isn't it is your juice just not liking atomization.

I think i'm in the minority here about trying juices in store. I know lots of people use that as a purchasing guide but I have bought many a flavor I liked in store and then got home to be disappointed with it.

Others have given you some good responses . . . it sounds like the juice just might need to steep more. I'd try keeping it around and shaking it every now and then and trying in a few weeks.
