What is it I'm tasting?

[downInTn]

It seems all the lower cost juices that I've tried all have this similar taste no matter the flavor or how I vape them. I'm really starting to dislike it.

Is it the VG/PG or maybe low cost flavorings? Thanks for any thoughts.

I've never been a fan of lower cost per mil juices. Ordered a ton from ecblends, mount baker, butterfly juice(when they first started) and a few other places. I had the issue you were having.

At this point, anyone that offers extra flavoring As an option I just stay away from. It depends on where you start buying your juices. I started from Mister E and they have some good/high quality juices there. I probably wouldn't be vaping if it wasn't for those guys.


But need more information from you. What type of battery are you using and what's your delivery system? Are the juices going into the same device?

I've mostly been using ego's with bottom coil clearomizers, protank2 and the cheap smok rbc's. Got my itaste mvp and an igo-l(dripper) yesterday.

Brands that I'm not getting this taste from; LionsHead, Indigo, Nicoticket. I've tried about three or four more brands that are more economical/low-cost, they all have that same taste

It must be some common ingredient that different juice makers are using. I did find one bottle of the cheap stuff, that I have, that doesn't seem to have it, so I don't think it's PG or VG. I'm leaning toward an artificial sweetener. Reminds me of how saccharin taste, if anyone remembers that stuff.

the lower cost ones take a lot longer to steep to balance the flavors, if they are going to get any better. Some get worse.
The perfume smell doesn't go away or gets stronger

I can only describe the bad flavor from cheap liquid as stale tasting. I think it is the pg. I have bought pg at tractor supply and it has that stale taste. Others like tractor supply pg I find it nasty. I also have many DIY flavors from flavor west and tfa that have that staleness to them and they also contain pg. Mt baker I taste in almost all the liquids I have bought. But I buy their premixed flavoring and add to vg and I don't get that staleness or whatever you want to call it. Some vendors I do not get this taste from are Johnson Creek, Ovale Italian which is the best liquid I have, Vapor4life which are most likely china stuff, Backwoods brew.

Top Vapor from Madvapes was an alright cheap brand. If you're looking to save money and want better e liquid, maybe check out DIY. It's cheap and easy to do.
Here's a link to a vendor I've gotten pre-made e liquid from The Vapor Room.net | Vaporize Nicotine | E Cig Atomizers Their prices aren't bad and the e liquid is good.

No matter what juice I vape I get that flavor along with a slightly metallic taste when I used any brand's clearomizers...

I think a lot has to do with the flavoring used in the juices. If the base flavor is used stinks it will just taste bad. I have had some terrible ones.

it could be a number of things

pg/vg ratios
do they use tobacco extracts do they use alcohol do they use oils

typically i've noticed a perfume taste when using oil based flavors and a pasta/starchy taste when using too much pg

also it could be the type of juice you are using with a plastic tank....acidic juices (tank cracking juices) will eat away at plastic, it's best to always go with metal or glass tanks.

Good point! Maybe that's why all my newer juices taste great-I've been ordering lower to nil PG content.

The key is where the vendor buys their flavorings... what brand they use. When you DIY, you soon learn which brands to avoid and you know the brand a vendor uses in their premixed juices. Sometimes it can even be where they get their nic. Some nics have an objectionable taste all their own to some people. If that's the case then its likely none of the juices from a particular vendor are going to be vapable for you.
