What do you do when you get HORRIBLE juice?

[Butters78]

Whenever I have a bad tasting e juice first I call a random person in the greater Columbus/Dublin Ohio area and ask them if they know a good crape roller.

Then I put on a traditional kilt and dance for an hour to the sounds of a Peruvian flute band.

Then I make sure that I put enough waters in the fridge.

First off I let them sit a couple weeks then try. If they are still terrible I will try diluting them in smaller bottles and see if it helps. Sometimes they are vapable and other times I add a few drops of a favorite flavor or em to salvage them. Some are just so bad I use them mixed with garlic powder for bug spray in my container garden.

Seriously, you're jumping the gun.

Same thing happened with my first order. Five different flavors, all horrible. Luckily I'd read about steeping here on this forum so decided to give them a chance. Two weeks later, they were delicious (just ordered more of them this week).

On the other hand, if you are convinced you'll never like them, feel free to send them my way.

...Snip...Some are just so bad I use them mixed with garlic powder for bug spray in my container garden.

LOL, genius. I never thought of that. I am having a hard time with every dang thing eating my tomatoes and squash, going to put that absinthe from MBV to good use tomorrow. Thanks for the tip klynnn

Just for you Eric...



Bust out the kilt and check the fridge... post pictures

Trade it on a juice trading thread...nuff said.

It's best to keep the ones you can stand and just trade the others...as long as you're not running out! If you're running out vape what you got! Personally I can't vape high nic and so I have to keep my zero with me at all times because I vape a lot...but the high nic blueberry I first got started to get better with age so I vape it along with over flavors to get a good mix of flavors and textures. Sometimes just getting used to a new feeling or taste takes awhile.

Keep strong and vape on<3

I vape it!..no point in wasting it

 

[bstrang6]

I push them to the back of the drawer, I have learned on this thread to open em up and let em sit for a few days/weeks and retry. This is awesome, its like I have a ton of new juices to try.

 

[MrSelf Destruct]

Steep it and try again later. I rarely toss out any juice. I will generally mix a bunch of menthol or something with juice I dont like to mask it. The only juice I've ever thrown away is Energy Cow from Dekang. Supposed to be red bull. Tasted horrible but I'm not a fan of energy drinks in general.

 

[razor4432]

Steeping is most likely what they need. Depending on who you ordered from they may very well mix them up the day they ship out so they aren't going to be what you would expect most likely. I find the one juice I get locally needs 2 or 3 days to get vapable and then a week to be the flavor it should.

Out of curiosity since you're in the Dallas area, what B&M do you go to? I typically will go to Dragonfly E-cigs in Lewisville for my B&M shopping.

Thanks everyone for the feedback ... I appreciate the advice about steeping the juice. After doing a lot of digging around, I've found that flowery/perfume tasting juices is sort of a common thing and all suggest to steep ...

But what I have also read is a bunch of people steeping juices for months with no success in changing the chemicaly, flowery, perfumy taste. That's not a chance I'm willing to take when I'm on a budget. And in fact, a lot of people report throwing away these juices because of how bad they taste. This stuff literally almost made me vomit. I tried the three flavors again about 20 minutes ago, as I'm typing, I still feel nauseous.

I'm sorry, but that's not acceptable to me from any company with any juice... You mean to tell me you are going to sell me something, but I have to wait 2-4 weeks before it's anything less than vomit juice? No thanks, I'm good ... The local stores have some amazing juices, that taste great on the first day out of the bottle, that I will happily frequent. I won't go through this experience again...

But alas, I feel very lucky because the company agreed to refund my money ... WOOPEE!! Very gracious people and I will spare saying the company name because of their excellent customer service.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

I got Plum juice that tasted IDENTICAL to vomit! Plums are sour anyways, but mixed with the peppery flavor of nicotine, tasted just like vomit!!!! Ewwwwww!

My natural reaction was to brush my teeth, dump the tank, and toss the bottle in the trash! Good thing it was a sample!

 

[jerzi]

Sell it on the FS/FT part of this forum, but never had anything that tasted really terrible. Taste is subjective so others might like it.

Out of curiosity since you're in the Dallas area, what B&M do you go to? I typically will go to Dragonfly E-cigs in Lewisville for my B&M shopping.

I like the Vape Lounge in Addison, eCa vape1 in dallas, and Artisan Vapors in Irving. That's funny you mention DragonFly, i was actually going to visit this store this weekend sometime. Is it in the Mall?

And funny story about Vape Lounge, they were the first store I went to before I knew anything about ecigs, the very first juice I tried, to this day, is still my favorite (Billy the Kid tobacco flavor, that stuff is like heaven ... at least to me it is)

 

[Topwater Elvis]

Billy the kid is one of my favorites too, small world.

There are so may B&M's in the DFW area that have good to excellent juice there really isn't a reason to order online other than curiosity.
Of course there are a few I avoid after trying them.

I give away or dump out / throw away nasty tasting juice, most if not all has come from online purchases.

 

[Myrany]

Someday I will make the treck to Dallas and check out the B & Ms there. I believe those are pretty much the closest to me at a 4.5-5 hour drive. We usually do a run over there once a year for a massive shopping run for stuff we can't get here. We have family in Duncanville we can stay with so we just make a weekend of it.

 

[Mountain_Rain96]

STLJohnny beat me to it. Or I give it to my son since I buy his vape stuff to keep him off the cigs.

^^ 'Dad of the Year' candidate right there!

Different strokes for different folks. When you establish what you do like, you can order the steepers ahead of time. The reason a lot of the popular online vendors' products need steeping is simply because of that - they're popular and keeping up with demand is hard vs Hansen and Dekang brands for example - plus some juices don't do as well if they're left to sit too long. Try sampler sizes if and when you fancy branching out. All the best.

I pretty much DIY all my juices these days so the following is just my personal experience not necessarily a rule to follow.

My fruity liquids need to steep 1 day to a week minimum though they are vapable day 1 the flavor just gets stronger as they steep.

My dessert vapes need at LEAST 2 weeks (many do far better at 1 month) steep time for the flavor to mature and blend. Before that point they are harsh and usually overpowered by one flavor rather than a blend of all.
