I had the same problem. I wanted t love it, but I don't I, too got the Melanie and Moots juice along with lucky pear and carmelized banana. The banana and pear are just ok, but I was hoping for more flavor and better vapor. I'll let them steep, maybe they will be better later. The Melanie - yuck. They say it's inspired by melon-flavored lip balm. It tastes just like lip balm. The melon part is ok, but it truly tastes like waxy lip balm. That flavor is not going to magically disappear after steeping. I'll try it though, maybe I'll be wrong. Moots juice was just neutral. I didn't like it, but I didn't not like it. Everything did kind of taste like plastic. But, I only had one working dripping atty and unfortunately tried the melanie first. I couldn't get that waxy taste out of it. I am assuming that taste just got in the way of the others. My fault for being impatient.
I love Nick's videos and will continue to be a loyal fan, but doubt I will be reordering any liquids. I'm kinda sad about that, I was hoping it would be my new go-to company.
