What's up with Mister-E-Liquid's Tobacco flavors?!

[zeesmoker]

So far have tried RY4 and Grey Matter.

1 word comes to mind; PINESOL!!!

The RY4 almost made me vomit after 10 toots. The Grey matter is less piney, but I can't vape this for more than 5 minutes.

I think it's the tobacco base he uses. Very strong chemicaly taste reminiscent of PINESOL or other floor cleaning products with Pine.

I have 8 more juices from them to sample, but the 2 tobacco flavors I got are a serious thumbs down!!

Perhaps steeping for 3-4 weeks will help mellow out the flavors?

I ordered Mr. E's RY4 for my dad and he really liked it. I'm not a huge fan of tobacco flavors but my dad is. I tried it a couple of times and it tasted more like a burnt cartomizer than anything to me. Didn't get the pinesol taste at all but maybe he's switched ingredients or something?

I'm not sure what's going on, but for now I'll let the juice steep for a month in a dark closet before giving my final verdict.

Well in the meanwhile vape the others! I have some non tobacco flavors from Mr. E that I really like. His Mtn. Dew, Moist Mango, So French Vanilla, Banana Dream are all pretty good (to me) if you received any of those.

I don't like the moist mango also. So far I only like the bubblegum.

No one likes the taste of pine sol... so no one would intentionally design a flavor to match it...

Some people get that pine sol taste from tobacco absolutes - whether they are from mr. e liquid or another vendor... while some get a satisfying real tobacco flavor...

I get no pine sol whatsoever... but I believe that you do... I have heard that same description of certain absolutes several dozen times on ecf in the past few years.

My advice would be to stay away from absolutes.

I am not a huge fan of certain absolutes either... I get more of a Hamster/Gerbil cage taste from them. (I have never tasted the inside of a gerbil cage... but you know what I mean right?)



I don't think steeping it would make that taste go away...

With that said... I do want to give Mr. E liquid some love... they make some seriously daring and great flavors...

I've been sampling their Kamel Hump and Red Rider flavors. To me, both have a hint of something after the exhale. I wouldn't say pine sol...can't really describe it but its something that I wished wasn't there at first. But now I'm noticing it less and starting to enjoy a little bit, since the overall flavors are quite good. Especially the Red Rider. Tastes like Wyatt Earp but better and not as licorice-y. The Kamel is good but didn't usurp my favorite, Desert Joe. Today I'm going to try a freebie they included: a new flavor called Blend 21. And I wouldn't hesitate to try more of their flavors in the future.
