In my experience the ashtray taste tends to occur around week 12 with vapers, give or take a couple of weeks.
As to what causes it, well put plain and simple Tobacco juices, or should I say certain ones.
In my early days mixing my own juices I made my own version of 555 where I used a 50/50 mix of F'arts Burley and Virginia and to this I added a couple of non tobacco flavourings to create the 555 taste.
At first I really enjoyed my new recipe as I do love the peanuty taste of 555 and State Express, which by the way I've been told are virtually the same cigarette, but after about 6 weeks I noticed the dreaded ashtray taste.
As I myself was approaching about my 12th week as a vaper I also notice that a couple of the F'art tobacco's also started to have an ashtray taste, and so I started moving away from vaping tobacco juices.
Now I do'nt know if it's a subconscious thing, or the fact that I was a 46 year ex-heavy smoker, but I still had an urge for tobacco juices at certain times of the day, and the only tobacco juice I had that did'nt give me that ashtray taste was F'art Ultimate Maxbro and so I made do with that for the time being.
Missing the 555 tobacco taste I really love I was overjoyed when TW brought out a range of tobacco concentrates among which was Statex, which I purchased immediately and mixed up, hoping it would'nt have an ashtray aftertaste, and It did'nt.
Now funny thing taste, but as I said I loved State Express and 555, and although the Statex from TW was more or less the same taste, I could'nt help thinking there was something lacking, It needed some presence, even ordering some pre-made State Express from TW gave me the same feeling.
I can only put this down to the fact that I had moved on to mixing non-tobacco juices and perhaps my taste buds were telling me something. So with a little experimentation my 666 recipe was born, which is a 555/State Express but with a bit more peanut added for satisfaction.
AND NO ASHTRAY TASTE
Most people who start vaping search in vain for a juice that emulates ciggies, but never find it, and usually settle for something that's a close approximation. But as time goes by most will experience the dreaded ashtray taste.
I now have 3 tobacco type juices in my juice collection, the afore-mentioned F'art Ultimate Maxbro, my 666 recipe and RY-4 concentrate from Cloud 9. These 3 are not only my favourites, but satisfy my craving for tobacco when the urge takes me, and of course no ashtray aftertaste.

Try adding 1 to 2 drops of F'art Arctic Menthol to per/ml of your juice that should get rid of the ashtray taste for you.
But definitely do'nt do the whole 50ml in case you do'nt like it.

Well it's as I've covered in my posts concerning flavourings, they are not all the same, and so some trial and error is needed till you find what tastes right to you.

I hav'nt tried the PA Cappaccino myself but have come accross others who have had the same problem.
If you want a good Cappaccino taste then you could give Cloud 9's a go, mixed at between 20% to 25% it's not bad at all.

Bet you'd have been really entertaining mate, especially bobbing round your kitchen with knife in one hand and e-cig in the other. LOL

I quite enjoy "Come Dine With ME", I think the narator is a hoot.
Funilly enough I joked the other night with a friend that it would be brilliant in the future if there was a "Come Vape With Me"
I'd put my name up for that LOL.

I think this post has confused itself somewhat.
I did start off by giving my opinion on the 510 dual coil cart'o that Jason from Vapeescape gave me to try, then things turned on to 801 carto's, probably my fault as they are my favourites of all atty's/carto's,.........
.......BUT the 801 carto's I use are NOT dual coil they are single coil, so please forgive me if I've lead anyone to believe otherwise.

I do'nt have a top 5 of flavourings I vape mixed on their own but the ones I do enjoy regularly are :
Cloud 9's RY-4
Cloud 9's Waffles
F'art Ultimate Maxbro
My favourite Caramel flavouring has got to be F'art Caramel as I use it in quite a lot of my recipes.

If you do try the LF ones let me know what you think especially as regards wicking.

Oh right sorry mate. Well If you are going to try them then the only place I know that stocks 801 cartos in the UK is Liberty Flights. They are Boge 3ohm.
I can't vouch for them though as I hav'nt tried them yet. Mine are from Eastmall in China and at $1 each are excellent value.
The ones I use have the vertical coil that is in the lower half of the carto, whereas the LF Boge ones are, I believe, the horizontal coil at the top of the carto.

Where did you get your 801 dual coil cartos from? I did'nt know there were any on the market, thought they were all 510.
