Strange smell?

[mutu]

Hi guys,
I'm new into vaping as you can see from my signature and I'm running already in few small problems.
First! Is it normal that the juice smells quite bad? Honestly, I feel like some ratts have pissed on my hands after opening the bottle. Some will say that it smells like a wet dog. Is this normal?
I'm using "titan/tornado totally wicked" liquid that I've bought it from a retailer in Hastings. All the flavours have the same "pissy" smell. Maybe the vanilla is a bit better, but I can't bear the taste anymore.

Second! I'm using a cartomizer CE5. All nice and trendy, but sometimes I can feel the juice coming in my mouth and it tastes like ratts doo doo. All that greasy taste, just make think that somethin' is wrong. Is this normal?

Thank you

. Welcome to this great friendly forum.

As to your problem the mind boggles. All I can say is I've never experienced a nasty smell, on the contrary if its fruit flavours its a positively nice smell. Having said that I am certainly no expert but plenty of people on here are. So I'm sure you will have your answer soon. Meanwhile

Hi mutu

I haven't used the totally wicked juice before sorry. Some juices you can use when you get it, and others need to steep for a week or so. What you can do is take the dripper and cap off the bottle after giving it a good shake and put in a cool dark place for a week to see if it improves Someone who has used totally wicked will be along soon

There is a unique and quite peculiar aroma to all e-juice, Mutu. It is nothing to worry about, and if you treat it with care and avoid spilling it on your hands, you should not have a problem.
As far as your CE5 problems go, there are a couple of things which may help you. First, make sure that you haven't over-filled the tank, otherwise you will get a bit of juice in your mouth, which I admit doesn't taste too good. Secondly, ensure that the drip-tip (the bit you place in your mouth) is screwed firmly in, but not too tight. Lastly, if it is a rebuildable type, just check that all the components are fully tightened, but not overly so, before filling with juice.
These simple checks will soon become second nature, and should help you avoid the juice in the mouth moments!

I sometimes find juice can taste like the air out of old bicycle tyres

I am interested to hear how someone knows what rats doo doo tastes like perhaps they have been using the wrong take away

Welcome to the forum mutu hope you get the advice you want this vaping lark really is worth sticking with

Hello Mutu,
Try taking the CE5 off the battery and give it a blow from the bit you put in your mouth, you may have got some liquid in the centre post of the CE5.

I have some TW liquid that is supposed to be flavourless and it stinks and taste 'bad'. I can't find a use by date anywhere on the packaging and i've now no intention of using it. Check if there's a use by date, if not buy some other juice.

I also think that some juices do have a distinct smell of urine, not sure if it does taste like rats piss though as I have not been lucky enough to sample rats piss. I always think HS storm has a slight pissy smell to it, but of course it could be just me. I only tend to vape tobacco flavoured juices so it could be just them.

Thank you guys for all your responses. It's nice to see that someone cares. I'm still newbie, so I'll follow all your pertinent advices.

Well... There is a sticker on each box and it says that the juices will expire sometime in December next year, but who knows(?)... they are made in China, which does not inspire me a lot of trust. I've order earlier some organic juice from a well know UK seller.

I saw somewhere a vaping machine that looks like a smocking pipe. Is it worth buying it? It sort of looks cool and my missus loves the idea. Do you know anything about?



Thanx again.

Dude, TW juice is rank as F***, trust me, I started on it, nearly turned me off vaping for life. Buy some nice eliquid online, there are many vendors about and the good folks here can point you in the right direction depending on your needs. I'd bin the TW stuff.

Yeah, get some better quality juice mate. You'll thank me later.

This is what I'm gonna do. Thanx for letting me know.
But first I'll wait for delivery from acevapers.
