What do you do when you get HORRIBLE juice?

[FogHawg]

I like to boil a pan of water & then let the bottle(s) of fresh mix DIY sit in it, w/an occasional shake, until cooled to room temp. Then steep it. It seems to help, I donno.

I set it on a shelf to see if it will age gracefully, or just grow a beard.

Kitchen sink or toilet.

If its LIQUA (which it sounds like) let it sit. For about 3 weeks.

I would never toss crummy juice out. I would toss it into the back of the cabnet. I am low on eliqud at the moment and have been digging into my 'yuck stash'. I pulled out a 6 month old cherry flav that is still not yum but doable. Much better. It will get me through till my new order comes in.

I send the ones I absolutely can't stand to my nephew and his step-dad. They are the ones who got me off cigarettes and into vaping in the first place. The step-dad is grateful for anything I send and will vape it all, no problem. And funnily enough, I sent the worst peach flavor I have ever tried (made me nauseated!) and my nephew LOVED it and it's his new favorite flavor. Go figure. I'm just super thankful to be able to repay what they did for me.

I use the bad stuff to oxidize ss wicks. No need to waste something vapeable on that.

Sent from my A500

If it's really bad, like no hope for it (Bacon, Buttered Popcorn) I give it away, the ones that bum juice are uselly the first to receive the "gift". I have a few buddies that have similar tastes as me......and one is pretty gullible. The buttered popcorn was obscene. He called to warn me to quit vaping it, before he called poison control. I told him I had no idea what he was talking about and he just had to give it chance. I think he vaped it for a week before he gave up.

Donate it to a Pay it Forward program. In a Vape community I am a member of we donate stuff we don't need or don't like for someone who can't afford Vaping maybe. Someone else may like it.

Don't throw them away! Hang onto them and go to the next monthly vape meet. Home Info is not posted for July yet, but I'm guessing it will be on the 27th. Look for the PIF basket and trade them out. Chances are they will wind up going to someone who wants them and you'll get something you like.

That's a really good idea. I have lender EGO sets that I grabbed from Fasttech because I felt bad about submitting an order for only a few bucks. I uselly lend them out to folks as a boost to get them to quit smoking. A pay it forward program is great idea.

Oh you may want to wait a while and try it again. May not have steeped enough or sometimes your taste buds have a bad day too. I know I had one for what ever reason I didn't like all that much but now It's loaded in one of atty's.

First, take the lids off, and shake. Leave lids off for a couple days and shake them every so often. Put lids back on, leave it alone for a week...and then try it. If it's still "meh" then two weeks.....try again ....and so on. You'd be surprised just how many juices need a while to mature - just like the difference between grape juice and wine. If you're desperate for something to vape, put some juice in a small bottle (preferably glass) and leave it to warm up a bit in hot water - sometimes that can help for immediate needs.

If it doesn't do anything for you after giving it time, then sure, Pay It Forward or trade it.

Meanwhile, stick with samplers or smallest size bottles until you find THE ones. Sampler sizes tend to mature faster because the volume is small, and the heat from your atty can hasten the "steeping" process. Only order big bottles (and allow to steep) when you can say "Now THAT was good!" - I spent hundreds of wasted dollars in a gunshot approach and big bottles when I first started.

Oh - and be careful if you're using boges as it's easy to crank up the wattage and fry them, which then creates a burnt flavor from the carto, not the juice.

If the juice is heavily VG or even if it isn't, make sure it has enough time to wick before vaping too. Hope any part of this is helpful.

OK, I took the lids off and shaked, but I must've shook too much because there's no more sense in shaking them with the lids off any more

If I order a juice and its truly horrible, and I mean really revolting, I find a vaper who I think is a bit of a turd. I buy a disposable cell phone and develop a friendship. During the next three months, we hang out, go to ballgames, vape together, etc. All the while, I'm talking up this incredible juice I ordered. Tell him how amazing it is and unique it is and how the vape is stellar even though the bottle odor isn't great. The thing is, every time we get together I promise to bring it next time but always forget. When the friendship is really solid, I take 1/3 of the juice out and mix in some vinegar and old milk and set it on the heater for a day or two and call to meet up with him. I drive over to his house and meet him outside and say I have to run but I remembered the juice. Of course, he's so excited, he goes in and vapes it right away. Then I drive away I wait for the phone call on the cell phone and let it go to voicemail. I play it all night laughing and laughing as he threatens to kill over and over in his message. That'll teach him for being a turd.
