steeping e-juice ?

[mudhill]

say fellas i ordered 5 samples of juice over the 4th of july.

but the 2 that i have the questions about are ( pyramid fusion tobacco )
( mountain riff tobacco )

to be honest i did not like any of the 5 flavors,,but these 2 i had hoped for a tobacco taste but can't taste any tobacco in either one.

so whats the deal ? do they have to steep for months or what ?

i had the same problem with another vendor also,,his juice also taste the same n all 3 bottles.

enquiring minds want to know

Larry who is ignorant about e-juice

Hi, Mudhill,

I haven't noticed that GV juices need steeping like some of the other vendors'... The flavor might improve a bit with time, but not very much - not in my experience, anyway. I use them right out of the mailbox.

Is the flavor too weak for you, or do you just not like the flavor?

they just taste alike,,,i can taste the blueberry in the one though.

i also want tobacco flavor ,that is why i mentioned the two,,,,no tobacco tasted.

I was under the impression that only freshly mixed juice needs to steep. Freshly mixed as in all of the separate flavors plus nicotine added at the same time rather than a bottle of the juice flavor that's premixed and just lacking nicotine. There's also bottles of juice vendors get that's ready to go without mixing. I'm not sure what category GV falls under, but I've never seen anyone suggest steeping their juice.

Vaping at a higher voltage can make a world of difference.

Definitely shouldn't have same flavor feel across the board: do try to make sure you shake shake shake before filling up.

Most of our flavors actually are on the plus side of flavoring. As far as steeping, we do prepare each bottle before shipping, meaning the base is complete and then we add our flavoring...the base is never prepared more than one week in advance.

One more thing that I rarely ever see mentioned here.....everyone needs to take into consideration several factors:

1) Are you still smoking? - This will affect the flavor or lack there of.

2) If not still smoking, how long has it been since your last ciggy? - Biggest factor! It takes a while for taste buds to wake up and even once they start, there are periods of what I call "dud buds" where everything vape related will either taste off or no taste at all. After well over a year, I still have an occasional day where I taste nothing out of any of my juices.

And even if one is still smoking while vaping, they are not immune to the "dud buds" where there will be days to a week where nothing tastes right if there is any taste at all.

I call it "mud mouth".....and yeah, it does strike every once in a while. Had about a week of it about 30 days into vaping...but thank goodness it finally passed.

Of the many juices I've tried I've found a few benefited from resting a long time. Most didn't change in taste much. A couple darkened in color dramatically and were improved. I've not found a ton of value in steeping a flavor I didn't care for. Pass it on to another Vaper and try something else. One man's dud is another's delight.

I've not had great success with perception of any any tobaccos, not just GV, BUT ANY. Pyramid fusion tasted very cocoa like and mountain rift tasted like lemon lime cola and pine. The mountain rift if I'm remembering correctly did increase in tobacco note the more of it I vaped through the same clearo though.

 

[mudhill]

i have not had a analog since memorial day,and yes i do have days when every flavor is just bla to me.

i know now that i do not like sweet flavors.

after i quit the stinkys my smell came back with in a week,almost to good i could smell my home and cloths and my truck,how did people put up with me?
i know my taste is not back yet,chocolate that i love does not taste like it did to me as a kid.

i am always telling folks that nothing tastes like it use to,but my mother always said that and she never smoked or drank booze of any sorts.

I'm just the opposite at the moment. I am on a crazy sweet juice binge these last few days.
Did you happen to try your questionable juices in a Phoenix bottom coil. My juices have never tasted as good as they do out of anything else. I know a coils a coil, a wicks a wick, a carto is a carto but there is something about these.
On the steeping issue. When I first got the GV Caramel Apple I was not too fond of it. There was something that just did not sit right for me. I do not know if GV juice flavors are alcohol based but that's kinda the take my breath away feeling I got from the new bottle. I left in uncapped for 48 hours, shaking it every few hours (with the cap on during shaking,of course) and for me the flavor became greatly improved and whatever was anoying me seems to have disapated. . But everyone is different.

On that I'm guessing it's probably the caramel flavoring. Caramel is one of those flavorings that changes dramatically with steeping IMHO.

I'm using BC phoenixes and I'm having bud duds/mud mouth thing. I just got a .... ton of new juice today, too. Kind of a bummer.

 

[Briar]

I've actually had a pretty good history with tobaccos - not burning-taste tobaccos, but still... I don't really like pure ones anymore with a few exceptions, but for an all-day vape that I'd take on a trip with me, it won't be nutty, fruity or cakey. It would be a nice, mild tobacco with a shading of something else. Like a mild RY4, or a peach tobacco that's not too peachy, something like that.

Well that sorta sucks... Hope it passes quickly. Mine usually go away in a day or so nowadays.

Oh yes....doesn't it almost always work that way?

Hope it's all gone and refreshed for you tomorrow

OK. Whats a ".... ton". Is that the same as a "Sh** Lo**"?

i tryed a experiment yesterday,,i have some smokeless image 555,,so i filled up a new ce3 and a old type carto that has the packing in it,,,,,it is night and day difference in taste.
the old type carto had the tobacco taste that i am looking for and the ce3 had a weaker trace of tobacco.
the old type carto was a virgin carto(new blank)

now this morning the ce3 taste more like what i want in a tobacco flavor( go figure )

Thank you! It worked I'm tasting everything today. My allergies were acting up, that might be why I couldn't taste it.

Yep!
