Blackberry Flavour E-Juice

[juliet42]

Hello again,

Another question for you all, have any of you tried the blackberry flavour juice from DarkStar Vapour?

I've just received an order from them, and tried the blackberry one today, and it tasted a lot of chemicals? Don't know why perhaps it's just me

The other flavours I had from them were fine (the kiwi and the lime).

Many thanks in advance

Perhaps it needs to steep awhile? Pop it away in a cool dark place for a week or so, then try it again

Thanks Karma, I will try that

juliet42 Have a carefull look at the bottled date on the label. Should really have at least 7 days steep will be better if left a little longer for the flavours to settle.

charon the date on the bottle is 28/02/14 Give it a bit longer?

Sometimes a shaking the bottle every few days may aid the steeping process. YMMV, jury is still out, etc.

But any juice, even if it's supposed to be pre-steeped is worth leaving if you're getting that sort of flavour.

If it tastes chemically to you after steeping for that long, it will always taste chemically.  I don't think leaving it for any longer will help.  To others it might taste just like blackberries or be a pleasant vape even if it doesn't, we all have different taste.

If it don't improve in a week or so, either trade it or just add a touch of menthol... you will be suprised at just how that will lift a flavour.

Have now binned it (sorry all). Bought another from my local B&M shop, and it's bleddy ansom!

I'm glad you have found a juice you are enjoying

As for throwing stuff away, in future I wouldn't go down that route.  I've got a few bottles of juice that I'm not too fond of that I keep on the off chance that I run out of juice I like, although that would be careless of me and isn't likely to happen.  It is like having backup gear and backups for the backups, it is better to have something to vape than nothing to vape!  But then again I live in the middle of nowhere and work funny hours, so getting to the B&Ms I have nearby takes a bit of planning.
