Just curious what the other two you tried were. A few so have the same base taste, tobacco. Unfortunately they can gunk up coils pretty easy.
I've found them best on lower ohm builds for me between .3- .8 ohms and the gunk doesn't occur as much. I treat it like Bobas, rewick every other day or as needed with dry burn.
Once any coil gets gunked or the cotton gets gunked or old any juice I have will taste funky.
Anyway, taste is subjective and I hope you find something you like. I tried Virgin vapors at a shop last week and it was straight chemical perfume to me and made everything else taste like cardboard for the rest of the day, and I mean everything.
I won't really get into the money grab thing. That's your opinion, you're entitled to it.
