Weird tasting liquids

[vaping_veteran]

has anyone gotten some funky chemical smelling, perfume-ish juice from major juice companies? i recently got a bunch of free samples from a company that wont be named, but some of the flavors tasted likes it was really cheaply made, but for the price point of that company, it should have been premium quality.

Take the top off for 24-hours, than put it in your closet for a month or two and see how it is.

It could be alcohol in the juice, usually letting it sit over a night or two with the cap off lets it evaporate out.

I know I said a month or two earlier, but give it a try in a week or so and see if it tastes a little better. The process is mislabeled "steeping" in the e-cig community. There are plenty of resources available if you google it.

I think everyone has bought juice like that.

The term you'll hear a lot is "steeping". It's misused, but what they mean is that you need to let the juice air out and age a little. Either remove the cap and let it sit overnight, or remove the cap and squeeze out the air and let fresh air in once a day for a few days will fix the issue. Letting the juice sit longer and shake the bottle once or twice a day will usually help enhance or improve the flavors as well. In some cases letting the juice age a month or more can really improve the flavors, especially in juices that use vanillas and custards.

And always remember to give the bottle a good shake before using it. Both flavorings and nicotine settle in time so the juice at the top of the bottle will be weaker than the juice at the bottom if you don't shake it up.
