To V4L Team...

Lets first start out by saying I'm no complainer. Most of you know this.

I recieved my order of Wow Smilin Special Menthol and Wow Cowboy Menthol in the mail. Tried them both and they were both way different than previous orders. Very bitter. Another odd thing is the they smell exactly how they should taste in vapor form but taste bitter. I have also had friends try them to see if they taste the bitterness and they agree. They all say "wow that taste nothing like the last time I tried it" The Smilin Special is lacking that chocolate flavor big time.

I have let them steep for over 2 weeks and "might" have improved a tad but they still seem to have this bitter taste.

Question being, should they steep even more? Or are these juices not right?

Hi Luma,
Thanks for letting us know. I will hit up wader tomorrow in the office, and also spot check with Mark when he is back from being out of town.

Stay tuned.

Let me know what you find out! Thanks. As of now, I am just going to continue to steep them.

I think you have given them enough time Luma, I remember you posting about this a couple of weeks ago. I often wonder if there are times during the winter where the juice is subjected to 32 or below degrees in temps during shipping and if it alters the taste of the juice. I've read several posts about not storing juice in the refrigerator because it can alter the taste.

They very well could have gotten frozen. Order came to Vermont lol. The Smilin smells sooooooo good in vapor form but it just doesnt taste right. Tastes like they forgot an ingredient in the juice or something like that. Lacking the chocolate flavor. Bitter tast. But whats weird is that in the bottle, you can almost smell the lack of sweetness but when exhaled in vapor form and smelled, smells incredible. The Cowboy menthol is a little better but still has a bitter taste. I have had cartomizers in Cowboy menthol come that were awesome and then another order, were NASTY! Super bitter. I hope V4L will taste what I'm tasing that way I know I'm not crazy lol.

These are the only 2 I really like and that keep my cravings at bay and all my juice is not tasting right. I ran out, then waited for new stock while back on cigs, then ordered 5 bottles, and still back on cigs. I cant seem to catch a break with vaping and I have been at it for going on 2 years. Cant seem to find any consistency in ordering weahter it be taste or stock availability. Not bashing anyone... Just the nature of the beast I guess.

Hey Luma .....What strength are these juices?

 

[Maxwell_Edison]

When is the juice testing going to start?

Working with Chad on the issue... I will let you know what I figure out.

They are 18mg Wader.

Something similar happened to me. An ECF member was kind enough to send me some Wow Peppermint when I was running low. The 2 bottles I received tasted and smelled NASTY. Like a black licorice flavored ash tray. I've been wondering if they got frozen at some point and the mixture broke down. The shipment I received today from V4L had the same taste and aroma I have come to love.
