Wasted money on juice

[DSFA]

I'm sure most everyone has done this but I feel especially stupid. I wasted money on juice that I ended up not liking, but unlike buying something new blindly online, I bought it from a B&M. I even tried it in the store. In the store it didn't blow me away, but was interesting enough that I wanted to try it. Get it home and now am unhappy. Leaves a bit of an odd aftertaste which I'm finding most unpleasant.

I'm sure there's nothing I can do about it, but just looking for sympathy I guess. Sigh.

And on that note, how often does that happen that you buy juice you wish you hadn't? And what do you do with it once you figure out you'll probably never use it?

Oh man, I hate that. I just chuck it in my drawer in the "rainy day pile" Better than buying a pack of smokes any day.

I've been at this a few months and have a drawer full of juice that I'm not too fond of. I might look to trade/sell it on here eventually if I try it enough times and know what I don't like it. "Steeping" changes the juices flavor so I'm just leaving it in the drawer and coming back to it every once in a while.

I guess if I never end up liking I might just save it for the zombie apocalypse. I'm sure at that point I'll vape anything. Or give it to my Dad... He'll already literally vape anything hahaha. He'll kill a whole bottle he doesn't like, no problem.

For me it's just an excuse to order more juice. I should be stopped!

I let it steep for awhile and try it again. If that doesn't work, I will dilute it with some unflavored dyi juice until it is decent enough to vape, maybe adding in a strong flavor like cinnamon or menthol.

I call it the emergency reserve. Some bad stuff I vape chewing on Fisherman's Friend to kill the taste off.

EXACT same thing happened to me!!! With FOUR different flavors! One of them just tastes burnt in all my attys, cartos, clearos. Another one tastes ok but floods everything I own. The last two tastes like perfume. >_< I thought they tasted pretty good in the store but at home it's bleh! I'm going to try steeping them and hope for the best. If anything I'm ok with waiting around for a month and see how it goes. If it still bleh, I'm thinking I'll add a few drops into my good stuff. All 4 of them gets awesome vape though.-__-;;

I usually take it to a monthly vape meet and donate it for the raffle. I've done this w/juice and i bought a 5 pack of xxl mega cartos and ended up donating the 4 i didn't use.

Personally, I take about three of the "bad" flavors I have, toss them all in a dropper, shake shake shake, then vape on an older ati.
If that doesn't work, then they go into the "emergency only" pile lol. Menthol does help though. I have five bottles of different menthols I won't ever vape by themselves.

I've been lucky enough to have avoided buying anything that I would consider unvapeable. Did get two while I was road tripping that weren't great but it was those or nothing.
The one I have had that was terrible was a creation of my own. Never again.

You could steep them, sell them or Pay it Forward.

How long have you been vaping? I've lost count of how many bottles of juice I have. There are a lot of "What was I thinking?" flavors.

You are on a quest...

^{Kiss me}

Just put the bottle in a cabinet somewhere and try it later.
The very first bottle I bought made me gag,
but 4 months later it was yummy!​

 

[cherrycakes]

Yea definitely keep it you never know when you're going to run out and be forced to vape stuff that you would rather not.
And if after a while you still don't like it pay it forward to someone else or trade it for something new

 

[SneakyVapper]

This is exactly why I'd love to find a meet and greet. I already have several bottles of ejuice that just isn't..."me". But I don't want to chuck them. For the time being I keep them on reserve. Sometimes I wonder though, if someone else might enjoy the flavor. It would also be nice to try other flavors/share with people before I buy. For the time being, I buy the smallest available vial so at least I don't get stuck with a giant bottle of unwanted flavor.

Hang onto it, you may find some way to mix it.
I got some rather unpleasant vanilla (it was a weak initial taste and the aftertaste was unpleasantly bittersweet) which I threw on a shelf for a couple of weeks hoping it would steep (it didn't). This weekend I got some coffee that I rather liked, but it was lacking a certain something. I had the bright idea of adding a few drops of the vanilla to it. End result is gorgeous.

 

[zapped]

You dont even have to mix it.Its not unusual at all to come back to a juice a few months later and like it.Especially if youre just getting off analogs, youre taste buds will change as your body heals itself.

 

[megaretro]

Getting to know what flavours are right for you and getting a some that are shelved is part of the new vapours
learning curve. Happened to me, my main staple is menthol with a little apple, DIY style

You added nicotine e-juice to your coffee? I don't know whether to call you crazy or brilliant! I'll decide once I try it.

I presently am (as in this moment) vaping a bottle of RY4 that I'm not real fond of. I got off analogs a month ago and went straight to fruit vapes and I've been there ever since. Well I ordered in a bottle of RY4 to see what the fuss was about it, not being sure if I'd like a tobacco juice, not real fond of it. It was really bad the first time I tried it, then I let it sit for a week and a half and it's better now, but it's still a little too perfume ish ?? for me. I dunno maybe it's just not a great RY4. I'm getting kinda low on juice though and I'm waiting for my first few DIY juices to steep a few days before I use them... which is hard right now lol.

The fact that I haven't had my morning coffee is why I failed to clarify coffee-flavoured juice. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

I think they meant they added vanilla juice to their coffee flavored juice



I can't vape vanilla by itself. And any coffee flavored juice that doesn't already have some kind of cream/vanilla in it gets mixed. But that's like my coffee, it's mostly cream and sugar

And I'm not a fan of ry4 or any tobacco flavors for that matter. menthols either
