The taste of Sweet Caroline!

[prometheus]

Anyone have any experience with this e-liquid? I just received a bottle 2 days ago and so far the first 2 carts I filled tasted like dirty dish water. It is smoke-able but not desirable. I was wondering if I just do not like this flavor or if this liquid may need some steeping time. Any suggestions?

I have loved every flue cured tobacco I have tried so far and was surprised when I tasted this because everyone said its one of the bests out there. I really and hoping the flavor comes around in a couple weeks. Any ideas?

Thanks!

not to burst your bubble but I had the same experience with this. I have been vaping 15 months and tried it when I first started didnt like it so gave it away. Then I tried it again a few months back and let it sit for a month same result for me just didnt care for it. As you stated alot of people like it its just not for me.

yeah i didnt care for it myself but the banana and the Black Berry Lemonade i got out of the same order were great.

Just got some in a trade and I am enjoying it,it's 12mg and has a tobacco taste with a little sweet flavor on exhale.

I've never heard dirty dish water. I've heard many different things, but never that lol. wow.

Sweet Caroline is a very unique flavor - tends to either be a love it or hate it liquid. Although it is my, and many people's absolute favorite... it's not for everyone. However I do recommend a steeping period of one to two weeks to let the flavor mellow.

yeah it didnt taste like dish water to me, it just wasnt for me. Some people used to smoke Marlboros some smoked camels. I smoked Marlboro lights, doesnt mean i think camels tasted like S*%t, they are just not for me. Great job on the BB Lemonade though. Its tasty

Yeah I am going to give that a try and see if it helps. If not I guess it just ain't my bag! Just wish there was a honey tobacco out there that was as good as HFC from LX cause I can't stand dealing with them.

I'm definitely a subscriber to "your mileage may vary". I've built up a collection of 65 flavors in my first three weeks. Trying to find a good fit. Some are flavors that have been recommended - some are flavors I thought were interesting (Monster energy drink). And what is one vaper's delight is my dishwater... or vice versa.

My dishwater is the 555. I'm letting my bottle steep for a bit, and will see if it gets better.

Since my daily work is now sampling the 65 flavors on hand, I'm sorting out what I like, and what I'd like to throw away. ECF has the PIF board, where you can freely mail the flavor(s) to someone who'd like to try it. And in return, you can accept someone's PIF submission, and pick up a few flavors yourself. I know where my 555 is going

I ordered some because Doctor Vapor raved about it on YouTube (it's how I got turned onto iVape to begin with).

I'm generally a menthol tobacco smoker, and the Carolina Crush is my flavor-of-choice from iVape, but I wanted to mix a little more tobacco flavor into it, so I figured, why not go for the one that people rave about?

It wasn't for me either, and I found it didn't mix well with the Carolina Crush.
Gave it to a co-worker, and he's happily vaping it now.

Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

I'd like to chime in and say I was disappointed and hated it when I first received it. It's been about a week now, and I just tried it again. I like it a LOT more now. It's definitely much more mellow. It's still not something I'd use all the time, but I plan on giving it another week and trying it again. I think I'll enjoy it even more. One thing I just tried was dripping two drops of Sweet Caroline and another drop of a chocolate flavor from another vendor, which smoothed it out even more. I really enjoyed that.

I'm having the same experience with a liquid I ordered from BWB - couldn't stand it when I first cracked it open, and now after about a week of letting it sit, I'm enjoying it a lot more.

Anyway - hope this didn't come off too negative, I wanted to convey that I really didn't like it at all initially, but even just letting it sit a short time has completely turned my opinion around on it.

That said - I'm absolutely amazed by the Blackberry Lemonade flavor I got in the same order. I haven't had a liquid vendor pull off anything like that before. Absolutely delicious - iVape is definitely one of my favorite suppliers so far.

I get a soapy flavor from the pomagranet....my taste buds are still adjusting though...when i first got sweet caroline i kinda got a soapy flavor...a few days later...BLAM...i love it...very refreshing...and love the hint of sweet from carolina cured...from the fruit flavors ive tried...I love peach...its like a nice peach unsweetened tea...I dont get what everyone says about the blackberry lemonade....i dont taste the lemonade at all...just kinda artificial candy and not very pleasant....im hoping that my taste buds will liven up to that because i would love to have a lemonade flavor...gonna try it every few days and see if it opens up for me...

Question about the pinapple...i experience it more as a pinapple soda than the fruit itself...anyone else having that experience?

Blackberry lemonade - I even get the citrus acid burn feeling in my mouth/throat, makes for a great throat hit. Maybe you need to vape it hotter?

I got quite a few flavors from ivape. I really like the Carolina Sunset and heard the good reviews on the Sweet Caroline. I ordered a 30ml bottle. I definitely like Carolina Sunset more at least for now until I give the Sweet Caroline a chance to steep. All of ivape's juices are good though as far as throat hit, vapor production and flavor. My wife loves the strawberry shortcake.
