Delacroix118 Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 What's up guys. I have only been vaping for about a month now so I am definitely still a noob, however I have been trying to find a juice that is my go to, all day everyday yum yum sauce. So anyways, I've picked up some Strawberry Lemonade from a local vape shop here and in store on their testers (EGO Twist w/ what looked like a champion tank) the flavor came out pretty descent, enough for me to buy it. However upon buying it and returning home loading my tank up... I found it to be almost tasteless. I mean it's such a faint aroma and can't really taste it at all. I'm currently using a EGO twist w/ Kanger Aerotank. I also have a Kanger EVOD and an iCLear16. Anyways I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I just have no idea why the flavor is so different to me.
Mtdobies Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Adding Nicotine can change the flavor, testers are 0 nic,Is it a new coil? If you have a used coil in your tank it could be affecting it. You might have to turn up the power.How much water are you drinking? Drink Lots!That affects my ability to taste juice incredibly.
Delacroix118 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Posted May 5, 2014 The coil I bought brand new. I've tried turning my volts up .2 at a time untill I tasted a burnty taste and then turned it down. it's only 6mg nicotine. I don't drink enough water that's for sure. In fact I never really drink water. I live on soda.
Tam Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) What Mtdobies said. Also, it might need to steep. Take the cap and dripper off, place in a dark, cool place away from kids and pets and let it sit for several days. Shake daily. Sometimes, the juice needs some time to let the flavors come through. Start getting yourself off the soda and drink more water! Vaping dehydrates you, which will then affect your ability to taste things. Edited May 5, 2014 by Tameiki Mtdobies 1
Delacroix118 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Posted May 5, 2014 @Tameiki yeah I think I'm going to experiment more with steeping. Although I've read that if you steep with the cap off you lose flavor? Don't know how true this is, but at this point I'm willing to try anything otherwise I have a $12 bottle of juice that might as well be water.
Tam Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 That's never been my experience with steeping. It always makes the more subtle flavors come out -- with time. YMMV.
Mtdobies Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Steeping w the cap off lets it develop, not a bad thing. If you have the patience to wait.
Tam Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Steeping w the cap off lets it develop, not a bad thing. If you have the patience to wait. Or you buy more in advance so you can vape the steeped one while the other steeps. The FLaN that I love so much is one of those that I buy more when I'm about halfway through the 125 ml bottle.

Mtdobies Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Yes having backups for backups is very important w FLaN or others... lol especially when as in my case I won't wait otherwise. Tam 1
Delacroix118 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Posted May 5, 2014 I got it steeping now with the cap off. I'll let it go for a few days and see what happens.
Tam Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 It really does help. Yep. Like in the case of the FLaN, it's good right out of the mailbox but the flavor gets richer, deeper, and more of the nuances come out but only after about a month has passed. Dragon's Tear is good but give it a week or or more and the juice gets more creamy and smooth...
Mtdobies Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Dragons tear????What other secret juices are you not telling me about?or was this a hint...
Tam Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Dragons tear???? What other secret juices are you not telling me about? or was this a hint... EC Blends' Dragon's Tear is a mix of dragon fruit, strawberries with a creamy undertone that only comes out with steeping. I've tried nearly all of their Dragon's series (no tobacco, though...ick), and I've liked every single one of them. The beauty of EC Blends is that you can buy 5 ml bottles at around $2.99 each. The more you customize, the more the price goes up but only by a little. There are several hundred flavors I'm not telling you about and over two dozen vendors...
Mtdobies Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Hmm time to kidnap Tam and pry her list out of her! Or bribery... I've tried dragons blood locally, tasted peppery.
Tam Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Come down to Colorado and you can try all the juices I have. Um...probably near 100 different flavors?
Tam Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Yes, and I just gave away half a gallon zip lock baggie of other flavors I didn't care for.
Mtdobies Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Sheesh, so your the expert flavor taster! FLaN is one I wouldn't have tried myself or Mojito and now I'm going to order the biggest bottles I can get. Do you order all dx sweet?
Tam Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Nope. Mostly, I order the juices as is to try it first. The FLaN wasn't one I'd try but it came as a free sample in one of my orders. Just so you know, the mojito I sent you -- the base is from my local B&M and then I doctor it up. If you want more I'll be happy to ship it to you. Mtdobies 1
Mtdobies Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 When I can't taste, (like today) I can Vape that it tastes amazing and I love it! Lost most of my taste yesterday... but that stays good. How bout I order from you??
Tam Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Nah, that would make me a supplier. Lol. Thanks but no. When I buy this base I get it in large amounts. Unfortunately, it's been here for quite some time since I don't vape it that much anymore so I'll be happy to see it go to good use. Give me a few days to doctor some more up and I'll send it your way. Mtdobies 1
Mtdobies Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Then again its only 18 hrs to you, bet I could get there w/o trouble... hmm
Tam Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 You know...Josh is planning to hit Denver sometime in August. We can plan to meet up then! That way you don't have to make such a long trip.
Tam Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Delacroix118? Sorry, we tend to hijack threads and derail them from time to time. Mtdobies 1
