Validity to "Let it Sit" Approach

[bigboom]

I purchased a bottle of 24mg/35% pg Amaretto Stone Sour from a private party through the Classified section on ECF about two weeks ago. I started vaping it as soon as I got it and really disliked it. It had a strong chemical taste on the inhale and just a bit of noticeable sour taste on the exhale. I put it up for trade with some other juices.

Yesterday, I pulled it out to give it another try. "AWESOME" is an understatement. It is so damn good that I now understand why others on here have raved about it. I'm glad I didn't trade it away.

I understand that individual tastes change but in this case, the taste of the juice changed. I'm not the first to say, if you get a TV juice you don't like, let it sit for a while and revisit it. This is just my experience with that phenomenon.

hoping that'll be the case with one of my juices.. :fingerscrossed:

I knew I should have taken that from you when I had the chance!
Just kiddin tho. Glad you like it, if you still want to trade for some I have some empty bottles I could send you 5 or 10ml of the GC for some SS.

Yeah ... I am hoping as well. I have a TV juice that was a dud. Not one of Geoff's, of course, but one of my own creation/combination.

What was I thinking???

Geoff's juice all the way from here on out!

I've seen where several people have said TV seems better after sitting for a while. Just the thought of mixing small bottles seems such a PITA, but makes me wonder if the "let it sit" theory would help push the idea of selling samplers
(Geoff, don't hate me, just sayin'...)

He isn't going to start selling samples, and I'm glad. I don't want to wait for my juices, nor do I want to pay more.

I also don't want him to start mixing huge batches of stuff and not getting fresh juice.

These would all be side effects of him selling samplers.

I kinda like trading samplers.

Just curious to know if anyone has noticed improvement in Bananas Foster after letting it sit. I just received it yesterday and filled it up and let it soak in over night. Vaping it now for the first time and to me it's tasting a lot like banana runts with a slight chemical aftertaste. It's not bad, just not really bananas foster. My other TV juices are Atomic Cinnacide and a tobacco/caramel/vanilla butternut blend. Both I liked immediately and have gotten better with age, but I never noticed a chemical taste in either of those. Anyone else have a similar experience with Bananas Foster?

Can't speak to Banannas Foster, I liked it from the start, but Tastyfinger had to age for me. Tried it again this morning after having it about 10 days and loving it now. Been vaping it all morning.

What is the approximate time you should let it sit? I ordered Blueberry Cheesecake, Tasty Finger, Bananas Foster, and Atomic Cinnocide. I got my order on Thursday and only the AC tastes good to me. The other three have this weird chemical taste.

I let mine sit, by accident mind you, for about 5 days. I was just vaping one flavor a lot and couldnt be bothered to get into another at the time. That was German choc cake, and now THAT is the one I'm vaping all the time. So now if something arrives and its so-so (and I like it but...) then I let it 'mature' for about 5 days. Some flavors I just don't like, which is cool, I'm sure my taste in things won't be everyone else's either and I just chalk that up to experience (can't know if you don't try it, right?). Having said that, even ones I havent liked much Ive gone back to just to see if it was me, or it needed some more 'settlin' time' lol. Chnaged my mind on one that way too.

My last 3 orders of blueberry cheesecake have had a chemical taste as well. I've had them for over 3 weeks, and the taste has not changed in the slightest. I've had no response to my inquiries about why I'm having problems with this particular flavor, but I think most of it is due to timing right now (web site/internet issues at TV and all that). I'm hoping that after things settle down I can get a response from someone at TV about why the flavoring is off on the blueberry cheesecake. Trust me, when the mix is "correct" on that stuff, it is beyond fantastic! But, right now I have a full doubler and 2 regular bottles of the stuff that are completely unvapable...

Yes the Bananas Foster gets better with age- as does the Blueberry cheesecake.

I ordered the blueberry cheescake 24 mg nic and 10% VG and I got a really harsh taste but I added in 20% VG which toned things down a bit and now its hitting real smooth.
