Tin Box Mint?

[UberDuper]

What is this stuff supposed to taste like?
I ordered it expecting something like altoids. I got it this morning and I'm a bit confused.

UD.

Why whats it taste like? Maybe an aging issue? It's supposed to be like Altoids

 

[VaporingQueen]

It taste little Altoids to me too.

Using a standard 510, this tastes like Altoids straight out of the bottle the first day. One of my favorites.

Same here. First day on my eGo with LR 901 atty, WHAM! -- straight up Altoids mint flavor.

Tasted like what Bengay cream smells like, to me.

Uber never told us what he was tasting!

ugh, thought i'd love it cuz i love altoids peppermint. this tasted strongly like wintergreen to me, unfortunately i'm not a fan of wintergreen. would love an altoids peppermint "tin box mint" which is what the name suggested to me, i should have asked first!

Exactly my thoughts. I can't stand wintergreen. Ick. Altoids don't even come in wintergreen flavor as far as I know...

I love peppermint but don't like spearmint or wintergreen. I'm glad I didn't try the Tin Box. I only like Altoids with the red trim on the box.

Just received my Tin Box Mint. Honestly, i dont taste much of anything. There is definately some tongue hit. But i dont feel the coolness of the minty flavor. Maybe i am spoiled from having too much waffle.

Ps. VQ waffle mixed with some plain waffle doubler is great.

Edit : I can tasste it better with an LR 510 atty. Maybe i should wait for my 6v mod and try again. Just let it steep for the time being.

 

[MaxUT]

Well, that's strange. I don't like wintergreen so it's good that the juice had none, just a "curiously strong" peppermint taste. One of my friends who also ordered it asked me for some 24mg unflavored liquid for cutting because the mint was too strong for him.

 

[markimar]

I hate wintergreen! Always reminds me of pepto bismol ugh!
If its got any wintergreen I wont be getting any tinbox!

 

[UberDuper]

The tin box mint I have tastes exactly like pepto bismal. There's nothing strong about it at all. I was expecting peppermint altoids. I didn't even know wintergreen altoids existed.

UD.

 

[markimar]

I thought the tinbox was kinda mix of different mints but I didnt know that wintergreen was predomninate. Maybe with some aging the other mints will come out. I really wanted to try this. Ummm I wonder if I can request it wintergreen free?

I tried it at 6v also cant feel anything strong. Maybe i should let it age more?

 

[wisteelersfan]

Pepto-Bismal is EXACTLY the taste I get from it too. On day one and also 2 weeks later. I was really hoping for the same flavor as the actual "Tin Box Mints" out in my truck. LOL

 

[AprilRain]

Huh, I don't get a dominant flavor... I'm getting a nice blend of mint flavors with maybe a shot of menthol, but then again, I love all mints including wintergreen. I would suppose that if there's a flavor in the mix you really don't like, it would stick out like a sore thumb. I've noticed that before with other flavors. If there's a componant I don't like, that's all I can taste!

I'd be happy to give some unloved Tin Box Mint a new home! LOL I've got a bottle of unloved watermelon to trade! (It's either 36 mg or 24 mg, I'll have to check when I get home.)

 

[Xanax]

I guess you're right. Cause all I smell and taste is wintergreen/bengay/pepto-bismol. I'm sure there are some other mint flavors swimming around in there but the wintergreen is just overpowering just because I don't like it heheh.
