Where's the flavor?

[Disastrous]

So, I am wondering how strong of a flavor you guys are getting. I am only getting a mild hint of the peach flavor of my juice and don't know what normal is. My experience is almost like a subtle aftertaste. Could it be the juice (peach - myvapestore), my setup, or my dulled taste buds? How strong are the flavors you all are experiencing?

Could be anyone of the three. More info on your set up?

I'm using an iTaste 134 Mini with an Aspire Nautilus Clearomizer. I've been trying various combinations of wattage/airflow combinations with little change in flavor.

How old is the coil? They aren't known to last more than a few days before muted flavor happens.

I became so angered by my Nautilus that I sold it to a buddy of mine.

yep my naughty tank takes a new coil a day so just got a russian 91% and can't be happier. i would guess it could be the coil 90% sure, but when you get a good one it is great.

How old is the juice? I am a big fan of peach and giving it a week or so helps. If you're looking for a solid peach I finally found mine at Highbrow, Peach Thymbra. When it turns a light pink it's a real tasty vape!

It's day one for all equipment and my experience vaping.

I guess I could try the tank that came with the 134 mini. You guys are scaring the crap out of me with that coil a day talk! I wouldn't have bought it had I known of that issue. My research indicated around 2 weeks.

I don't think I would have pushed a Nautilus on a newb...too much to cover on that. Marc411 is right about age of juice...some get better with aging, also known as steeping.

If you bought the gear at a B&M (brick and mortar) store, I'd take the Nautilus back and switch it for a Kanger Protank 3. Easier to use, more consistent coils, and very good vape and flavor production. That's my opinion, and you'll find different opinions posted here soon. However...many here agree about the Nautilus.

BTW...good choice on the iTaste 134. I love how it looks. I have it's brother, the MVP V2.0

I assume it came with the iClear30? That's a decent starter.

I'm going to go load the iClear with the peach and see if there is a difference.

 

[Disastrous]

No difference. Must be the juice. I might just have to load up my Space Jam - Pluto to see if that's the problem.

 

[Disastrous]

It was the juice! Space Jam rocked my taste buds back to life. I bought 2 each of peach an strawberry and am now hoping they aren't all bad.

 

[Disastrous]

Ok, I have tried both tanks and they both work fine. I just had to find that sweet spot (although I'm not sure yet if I am quite there). I had to turn down the wattage a bit, restrict the airflow, and vape a little slower to get that peach taste I was expecting. It still isn't quite as strong a flavor as I was initially hoping for. I think I will see if I can try someone else's setup to compare what everyone else is getting. It's good enough to keep me off cigarettes for now though. I definitely prefer the Nautilus to the iClear 30b mainly because of air flow control. Also the tip rattles around ever so slightly in the iClear even though it is a secure fit with the o-ring.

Coil a day? Mine will actually last about 2 weeks or so. I wouldn't say I'm a heavy vaper so I'm not sure if that is why. I love my nautlius tank. Try taking a few hits with the air hole on its lowest setting. But as everyone else mentioned it could be any one of those or also vaper tongue I believe is the word. Where your taste buds are no longer able to pick up the flavour. From what I have read from this forum to fix that is to drink some water.

I have been through the same thing, some juice, regardless of build and device, just never gives me the flavor i had hoped for . When i try other makers juice i know right away that everything is fine and it wasn't the equipment.
