Tastes like soap :(

[RaXoR]

About 5 of the flavors I ordered taste like soap. Here is the PG VG

18mg 80% PG 20% VG 2 extra shots


what do I do to make it taste better? How do i go about diluting it if its 15mg bottles

You can try letting them breathe / steep for a few days, sometimes the flavor will improve given some time.
Or some juices are just nasty tasting to you, taste is so very subjective what one or many people love others detest.

You can try letting them steep for a few days. Everyone has their own methods from leaving the caps off for a couple of days to soaking in hot water. I personally just let them sit for a few days and maybe give them a shake or two along the way. Also its very possible the liquids you bought just suck.

Looking at the info you posted though makes me think that could be the problem. Everyone is different but extra flavor shots on high PG ratios to me is backwards. PG carries flavor better than VG, maybe the extra shots over did it? Have you ever tried the same liquid without extra shots? Just shooting in the dark here...

I once ordered 8 sample tobacco flavors from a well recommended vendor...7 of them had a soapy taste...like a bar of soap. Some of them got better after a lot of steeping...like a month or more, but they never became good...just a little better.

To dilute it...which may not help much...you can use vg or pg, but you will also lower the nic content. To keep the nic up to 18mg, you would need some unflavored with the same 18mg nic. I mostly mix and vape straight unflavored, so I always have that around.

Your other option would be to combine it with another flavor, but you run the risk of ruining the one you like, so do it in small batches.

IMO good vendors don't have to offer flavor shots as their stuff is spot on. I found my holy grail today Great stuff and reasonable price plus your stuff comes steeped in ultrasonic cleanser for an hour.

In my experience, salvaging bad juice is throwing good money after bad.

Let it steep for a month. If it's still unvapable, ditch it and move on.
