Taste Testing at the B&M

[lamebore]

Hey guys - I have an issue when I go to the shop to try juice. It's always zero nic and it tastes like nothing to me. I dont mean that it has dull flavor compared to the same juice with some nic in it...I'm talking absolute zero flavor. I'm wondering if anyone else experiences this - I'm building up quite the collection of juice that I never use because I'm buying based off of the description. Sometimes I have to resort to smelling the open bottles. I Usually buy 12 mg for my tanks and 6 mg for dripping.
An intersting side note - my fav juice right now tastes so good at 6 mg, but i tried the 0 nic just to see if i could get flavor and there was nothing. Does nic really make juice flavor pop?

I find the flavor is there but barely, once I get a juice with nic it does pop more.

More than likely they are using cheap tanks that dont work worth a damn.

i usually find the oposite only one vape shop in my town close enough and their juice tastes great at 0mg but if i buy a bottle it has a nasty taste to it i think its the nic solution they use.

I've noticed the same thing at B&M juice bars... they usually use crappy bought-in-bulk-at-a-buck-a-pop CE4 tanks that just aren't known for awesome vaping. I also think that it has something to do with how long the tanks have been filled. For all we know the juices have been exposed to air for several months. That may have something to do with it. I do know the nic % has something to do with it, but even in 0% nic I can usually taste the flavor. I just don't get the throat hit that follows. I guess that may help the flavor pop some, but I can tell whether or not I'll like the taste of a flavor regardless of whether or not it has nic in it or not.

What part of town are you in?

try to drip the juice there. Using your own device might help you.

It just sucks that flavor is so subjective because I hate wasting money on a juice the dude at the shop says is good. If I ruled the world flavor samples would be at 6 or 12. MUAHAHAHAHA

From what I've seen B&M's usually use poor equip to test and the flavors are off because of that. Diy is the only way to go IMO.

Hi I was having the same issues so I started making my own juices. It's working out fabulous! It saves so much money and the start up cost isn't that much. I got my nic, large bottles pg and vg, flavors, empty bottles measures for about 85 dollars. Now a bottle costs about 60 cents to make vers. 12 dollars to buy. Also it's great because if you get a craving for a flavor you just make it right then. It's a lot of fun and much easier than you think. Complex blends take some practice but it's very much worth the effort. It takes less than 5 minutes to whip up a bottle. And the best part is you can make them exactly how YOU like them! Taste is such a personal thing and you can customize your juices to your liking. It might be something for you to consider. My very last juice I bought costed 12 dollars and it tasted nothing like the tester I sampled at my bm store and I made my decision then to start making my own. I'm so glad I did too! I hope this helps. Best wishes.
