Sometimes a Week Isn't Enough

[Poeia]

On April 20 I ordered Chocolate 712/Dairy/Vanilla which Geoff said would make milk chocolate

Day 1 - I knew it was too soon and wasn't expecting much. It tasted metallic, like vaping tin foil.

After 1 Week - Maybe not aluminum foil but it definitely tasted metallic to me. There was a slight hint of chocolate.

After 2 Weeks - The metallic flavor became an undertone rather than a dominant flavor but it was still there. I tasted some chocolate. It was tolerable -- it wouldn't ever be a favorite but it might mix well with some flavors. I put it on the back of the shelf.

After Almost 5 Weeks - I took it down the other day to try it again. Milk chocolate! I don't know yet if I like it enough to reorder it when I finish this bottle, but I'm definitely going to finish this bottle. It's pretty yummy.

And I want to know how Geoff knows "a little this-a, a little that-a and in a few weeks it will taste like xyz."

ETA: And the Chocolate 712/Bavarian Cream I got the first week of March is tasting pretty good too.

Is it a hint of milk chocolate or a full body taste of milk chocolate? I just got a doubler of Carmel popcorn yesterday, it tastes like Carmel popcorn but the flavor seems weak to me. I wonder if I let it sit for a few weeks it will have a stronger taste?

If you read through the TV subforum you'll see that the liquids need time to age. Usually they're great after a week.

So far I've purchased 15 flavors from them (and I don't know how I managed to get so many.) Atomic Cinnacide, Banana Nut Bread and Peppermint are the only ones that were great from day one. Mint Chocolate Chip was pretty good on the first day but it still needed a few days to get great. All of the others, even the ones I didn't end up liking, needed time to mature before they were truly ready to vape.

The normal time that people let the flavors age is about a week. What's so unusual about the milk chocolate is that it wasn't ready for several weeks.

It's still not a true milk chocolate. I don't feel like I'm vaping a melted Hershey bar. It's a little more cocoa-y than that. But I do like it. And, at the rate this liquid has been evolving, by next week I might need to double check to make sure I didn't accidentally chop up some Droste Milk Chocolate Pastilles and put them in my carto.

I found with most flavors it's about 3 weeks. Some do actually get even better with even longer wait!

Mmm...i wonder if anyone else would like to know that... Geoff is a GENIUS!

I had the same reaction with Strawberry Cheesecake. This makes me think I should give my Choc Banana another try soon tho... I've been letting it sit a while with hopes it will mature and get better.

I HATED TV Tobacco when I first got it. I think the most accurate description was liquid barnyard. i was going to write it off and trade it and someone suggested I put it away for a few weeks. I put it away and forgot about it and just happened on it about a month later when I was looking for something else. Decided to give it another try and I haven't put it down since. I just finished my first 30ml bottle and started my second (which I had immediately ordered after I retried the first so it has had about three weeks to age). I like it now so much that it's almost depressing because I don't want to try any other new flavors.

OMG, I bet that Choc Banana is awesome. Sounds soooo good. I hadn't thought of that. I guess it's a custom?

I liked the Tobacco flavor right off the bat, my only gripe was the vapor production is rather weak, even with 10% VG

I usually vape 100% PG and have no problems with getting lots of vape

I left on a trip on May 21 and did not take GCC or Butter Rum with me as I had only had them for about 10 days and they tasted like chemicals.....yuck. On June 1, tried GCC again and again and again.........ALL DAY LONG because I couldn't put it down!!!!! It was great! However, BR was still chemically sp? in flavor. Yesterday I tried Butter Rum again and it is much better. I think it still doesn't taste like a BR lifesaver candy, so maybe it will even get MORE better, but it is easily vapable now, although hasn't been for me the last 4 weeks! Tastyfinger and Banana Nut Bread and Mint Choc Chip were fine for me the first week.
