Should i give up

[lacdaddy916]

I tried all 5 of 5 Pawns flavors and could get it right (for me). None of the flavors are horrible but none of them stand apart from the rest of the bunch meaning different flavors.

Patriot, Nimbus, Trident, IGO-W, and IGO-W3 With my Nemesis, MVP v1 (where applicable), and Hammer clone in .8, .9, 1.0/2/4/6/8, 2.0/2/4/6/8 using 32, 30, and 28 ga Kanthal (some single and some dual) with 100% organic cotton balls washed in distilled water twice. Using an IMR 18650 battery.

Is there anything else i can try? I also see on the bottles they were made between 2-4 weeks ago so steeping time shouldnt be an issue.

i either get an atrocious throat gremlin or the flippin hiccups. I like tighter draws (pause) so increasing airflow isnt an option for me. Is it time to chalk it up as a loss?

Lac, I don't have much input on the possible solution, but I will say this. Hang in there, it will all work out with persistency. Good luck.

juice is very subjective. I have tried some very high priced, high reputation juice. Some were good some were just okay. I personally rather mix my own juice as it's cheaper and the flavor can be customized to my liking. I have no sense of smell, and my taste can vary sometimes things taste great and sometimes they are bland. There are some juices I still do buy, priced from as cheap as $5 and as much as $22 a bottle. Too me price doesn't make the quality and its more of the fact that if it taste good and you can justify the price tag its worth it.

Be thankful you don't become addicted to them LOL I love Absolute Pin, and I wish it wasn't quite so expensive....but it's a must have in my evening vaping! I'm afraid to try the new ones in case I develop the same feelings about another one of their juices!

Yeah i mightta think i got caught up in the hype. Might have to stick with my normal juice...which will remain nameless

That's how i feel about shocker G2, for some reason I need to vape that with my evening drink.

I had similar experiences. What seemed to help me was to try samplers and let them aerate and steep appropriately. I buy in "groups" about once every 10 days. I have the group that I am using, I have a group that is close to being ready for vaping and, then, the last group is just starting the aerating/steeping process. Flavors are better.

I still get samplers for things that I want to try. But, it still goes through the same process.

I try the 5 Pawns everytime I go to the local shop that carries them. I have come to the conclusion that I just don't like them. They are not for me. There's plenty of juice in the sea!

Try telling my wife that!

It really is a slow process in finding 10 flavors that "work". And, it can be expensive. For me, I take notes. A flavor can taste differently for so many reasons. Even the PG/VG ratio...

But, it is fun. A 5-pack sampler is a great gift.

I sometime seem to loose my palate when vaping... I go for a few days and everything taste like crap. I don't buy during those periods when the taste buds go on hiatus. One thing that has worked for me in the past is to eat something hot... something like tabasco... I have tried the pickled ginger that comes with sushi... that stuff is suppose to clean your palate between different types of sushi. Another thing is black coffee... that has helped as well

I know that's right...

Clearing the palette. Interesting perspective. Is there a post i can visit that references this topic?
