Some questioning and help on vaping....

[killatoyota4569]

Hey guys whats going on. Well I just am a little concerned with my Setup. I went to the Vape shop near me. They have a great line up of juices and items to purchase. They also have a juice bar, where you could try out any juice they sell. My concern is they give you a Cheap battery and tank setup to try there juices.
But the juices always taste great and I can taste exactly what they are and what the label states they are....... But when I got home and put the juice in my Nautilus Mini tank and provari V2, The taste was not the same. I didnt taste the flavor really at all. To me my juices all taste the same in this Nautilus tank. My coil is about 2 days old and not sure what I am doing wrong or why the juices are not tasting a ton better then there 25 to 30 dollar setups they give us to try the juices out.

What do you think I could do about fixing this or why am I not getting that full flavor out of my Juices?

One possibility is that their juice they use for sampling is older and maybe had more time to steep than what you purchased? Do they make it fresh to order? Also maybe you've got a bad coil. Couldn't hurt to try another one.

some juices taste different at different powers. you taste more on fresher coils though because theres less gunk buildup on the coil/wicks, you notice flavor gets muted alot if you dont change your coils often even though it fires. honestly steeping shouldnt make a difference you should taste -something-. I know some flavoring additives taste completely different as a cooler vape than a hotter vape, for example cinnamon taste better on a cooler vape, when it gets too hot you taste more of a burnt flavoring than cinnamon flavoring. They could also be doing the whole bait and switch on you at the least, with their tasting flavors extra added flavoring, then they sell the more diluted stuff, if they all taste the same to you then youre probably just tasting the vg/pg? and not the actual flavoring if any. lastly it could just be your tank that doesnt handle the juice well, i dont have much experience with the nautilus so i cant say an ymore on that.

Well yes they do make the juices there. But I purchased Vapor Chef Blue Jazzberry. Which they dont make and was sitting on the shelf.
I would say there juices they taste test with were sitting for a few days.

I also dont think my coil is bad, Usually when it is bad it turns my juices Dark brown and will have a harshy nasty taste

Thanks very much, I guess I will try a different coil But I doubt that is it. as the coil is a couple days old...

I wonder if they are adding additives to the juices they taste test with. Makes me think real hard. Hmmmmm

Sounds like they are probably diluting the flavors. A lot of B&Ms are notorious for it. I bought one from a B&M near me and the juice tasted amazing at the store.. $15 later I put it in my own setup and it tastes like a light flavor and alcohol!

Edit: Also shake the bottle well before you use it.. Could be it, before you hang the B&M! If they dilute, you can usually tell right away!

A possibility, the liquids that they are using for tasting may not have nicotine in them, or a very low level of nic. Nic will throw the taste of a liquid off sometimes.

 

[danibanani]

^^^ This. They use 0-3mg nic for taste-testing.

 

[killatoyota4569]

Well I got 6mg of Nic in my Juices. Also the juice I am vaping now is made by Vapor Chef, So IDK if they could dilute that since it is sealed in plastic.

You guys maybe right about the low nic level, but I mean you should be able to taste something rite? I mean I have a $150 setup and theres is a $50 if that setup.

All these are good ideas and are well thought out. Mine is probably a horrible idea and not at all well thought out...

Maybe, and I notice this when eating out, it just tastes better because it's "at the restaurant".

I still get excited to go to the VapeBuffet and try new juices so I think, for me at least, the excitement makes it taste a little better. I've bought plenty of juices at the B&M only to come home, set them on the shelf and then pick it up at some time a few days later (thinking "I've been saving this juice because it was so good") and find myself wondering "Why did I buy this?" and "Why did I think this was so good?".

Also, I'm generally wrong about "things." I have sworn affidavits from all my wives that say so.

Also also, change your coil.

The vape shops I go to have all tasting juice at 0 nic and I would buy it at 18 nic only to find it was not like I remembered. I now buy all my first time juice purchases in the smallest (10 ml here) bottle so I can "try it" at my nic level before buying in a bigger bottle. Doesn't solve the problem, but saves a few bucks when I don't like it.
