I thought it was supposed to get better and better with steeping...but now that Ive entered my 2nd week on the same bottle...I think its actually getting worse.

It doesnt taste bad...it just tastes like nothing...the power is diminished. Inhaling tastes like nothing and I get a faint sweet taste on exhale...not the power punch of sugar flavor it once was.

I got an Ego 1000 with LR boge carts...they still produce tons of vapor...so its not the cart...it just tastes like nothing.



On top of that its performance in carts is varied...sometimes it hits clean, sometimes its takes more effort to get something out of it, sometimes it doesnt seem to be sizzling at all. I dont see why they cant use a thinner liquid like 80/20 or even 90/10 and just add extra flavor...cause this stuff is like elmers glue.

...and unfortunately at the moment it tastes like it too.

What else are you vaping? It sounds like you need some fresh cartos but you also need to mix it up a little. You need to have some flavors completely different from you preferred flavor profile or everything tastes bland after awhile.

Every time you open that bottle, you are losing flavor and nicotine. Best to get some smaller dripper bottles and store the bulk of it in a cool dry spot as untouched as possible.

I typically bounce back and forth between this and Casablanca from BWB...they are my only go-to flavors as of now...Im still on the search for more though.

The smaller bottle idea is a good idea though...I just keep using the same 30ml bottle. I was just under the impression that it got better with steeping and being exposed to air would help the process...not lose flavor though. I dont leave it open...but just keep opening the same bottle for small periods of time.

Ive had Boge carts last forever and the one it is in now is only 2 days old...it produces great vapor and works well...just tastes like fruit inspired air at the moment.

Your taste buds are telling you they want a change. You may not agree but they will win in the end.
 
I have some of those atty and here is what I do because dripping a few drops all the time sucks but the flavor is soso much better i go and get the pipe screens from the smoke shop and roll them lose and place them in the atty so they look like donuts I put one ib 4 drops put the second in 4 drops put the third and three drops then put my drip tip in and vap i can usually get about an hours worth of vaping in 10 drops

I've stuck blue foam in. Because of the drip shield in them, it keeps it from touching the coil. But I can taste the blue foam when I vape so I stopped. It worked for filler when I cart using cartridges but I guess it's different when you are breathing directly through it. Metal mesh might be the key. I swear sometimes this is what it must be like to have been blind and suddenly see. I can taste things now I really don't want to. I'll probably even taste the metal mesh lol!

Nah...its not hardware...ive had problems in mulitple carts.

actually it sounds like you are using cartomizers (cartos) and not carts. just to keep the discussion from getting too confusing. don't forget to drink water....I've been vaping almost a year and I still lose my taste buds sometimes. more water and some time makes it better...
