I first tried Moo juice in a 15 ml bottle and it instantly became my favorite. It was great immediately, and even better after steeping. When that was used up, I ordered a large bottle the same way. I can't vape it. It is horrible. It has had 1.5 months to steep now, and it's still terrible. What do you do in this case? Complain to the vendor that you've gotten a bad bottle of juice? What if the bad batch was my first bottle.. the one I liked. Does it taste that different just because it is a large bottle?

Does it taste like you are vaping a candle? That's how mine tasted to me, but then again so does all the juice I got from that vendor, so I just don't buy from there anymore.

Ecto Plasma was like that. Ordered a big bottle the second time and it's been here months, can't stand the smell. I just wrote it off as changing taste buds and never thought to ask the vendor. I don't think I would have gotten anywhere if I did.

I've been through the same thing... I got a 10 ml sample from a vendor and loved, loved, loved it. I went back and ordered a 55 ml. Yuck. Well, the larger bottles just need to steep longer. But it's been 5 months now and it hasn't changed much. And I'm not sure if the sample was the anomaly or the large bottle. I have a similar issue with a bottle of a different juice from another vendor. I hadn't tried a sample, but all the reviews were good. It's been over a month now, and it still tastes like disinfectant. Bleh. I've had other people try it, and they all agreed that it's absolutely unvapeable. It tastes like pure evil. Other flavors from these vendors were great. I'm quite sure that this is not due to my tastes changing. In the first case, I still had some of the original sample left, and it was still great. In the second, I'd been vaping for nearly 6 months, and I think my taste buds are fairly stable again at this point. I don't know what to do, either.

Yeah, I really hate this and it has happened to me more than once. First bottle is awesome, I feel like I've found an ADV... next bottle I am like "what the **** is this?" and usually its a bigger bottle and I have to suffer through getting rid of it. None of them improve with additional steeping either, they will stay the same or get worse. So now I am afraid of buying anything bigger than 15 mL and it sucks because I'd like to get the price drop of larger quantities. Yet, it seems like so many on this forum can order 50+ mL over and over and keep enjoying the same flavor for months.

hard to believe these reports are about "changing taste buds" but instead about lax quality control.
did any of the posters who had issues with e-liquid from different batches tasting differently also experience the food they regularly eat taste different? from delicious to horrific? how often does that happen?

How hard is it to write a recipe down? It makes me wonder if some of these vendors were wildly subsituting flavors they ran out of.

Hmm recipe needs sweet cream, lets give them Bav cream instead.. etc..

Sometimes they change suppliers where they purchase nicotine base or flavorings. Some suppliers have liquids made for them in labs and they may be doing something differently.

A supplier posted a while back that the lab left out an ingredient and to contact them for a credit or free bottle.

I would check with the supplier. They'd probably want to know if people are having an issue with their liquid. If I owned a business, I'd want to know.

I've never had the taste of food change so drastically on me, but I can honestly say that I've experienced extreme taste changes when it comes to vape juice already. The first juice I ever ordered was Hangsen Vanilla, and I hated it. A couple weeks after I stopped smoking, I tried it again. It is now one of my favorites, and I love mixing it with Dragon's Nectar (+ cold hit) from ECB. It wasn't just steeping either. I have 3 30ml bottles sitting here and I opened the first and started vaping it as soon as they arrived. Love them.
