Hi guys, sorry for the delay.... I've got to say, I got the tobacco sample and it tastes just like the tobacco liquid I didn't like! As people said, tastebuds change! I can only think, I enjoyed the tobacco liquid, then it ran out, then I vaped cherry, after enjoying the cherry, the tobacco tasted bad  I'm mixing the tobacco juice with some menthol I've got so it won't go to waste  Cheers all for your help. |

Second bottle still tastes funny. I've ordered a 5ml sample, should have it by Tuesday, I'll report back then! (worst come to worst I'll get another 30ml bottle of Cherry and mix it with this Virginia I don't like) ((next time I order cartomisers, I'm just getting the silver ones so I can write the flavour on them, I've got so many flavoured carts lying around now!  )) |

I'll take the lid off the one bottle I've opened(it's up high in a cupboard I don't use so it'll be fine) I'll order a 5ml sample on Monday and compare it with the 30ml bottle on Tuesday then contact vapeescape with my findings I'm going to open the 30ml Cherry bottle now and see how it is.....be back in half an hour.... |

Had a reply from Jason bright and early this morning Gilbert, it clarify's the situation for us all. But if you're still not completely happy after it's been left for a little while, then as Jason says - please contact him. The Hangsen are premixed, so technically don't require any steeping. But, we are selling it a lot fresher than we used to (where it could be in stock for a month or so before dispatch) due to the demand at the moment, so it goes out virtually as it lands from Hangsen. We are taking a delivery from them every 10 days at the moment and we did have a batch of menthol in the last delivery that had an edge to it, but once the customer left the top of for a few days it was perfect. So that is what I would advise in the first instance - partly because we have had no other negative feedback about the Virginia and we are selling around 200 bottles of it a week - so it is unlikely to be a faulty batch and more likely that if the customer previously had a 5ml bottle of it - that would have been in stock a lot longer because we keep larger stocks of the 5ml bottles. Please ask them to contact us if that doesn't work and we'll get it sorted out for them, no problem. Jason Thanks again Perpetua, I'll wait till Monday and see how it goes. I'll even order another 5ml bottle just to double check again for myself. Erm, Jason in his reply to you mentioned leaving the lid off, is that something I should be doing with the bottles in my cupboard? Is that how you steep them? |

Cheers! Well it's not my tastebuds as the samples are still tasting fine, I've put the 30ml bottles in a cupboard for now and I'll try them again on Monday. After that if all is not well I'll contact the vendor. Hopefully all will be well because their delivery service is fantastic, order one day get it the next (PS I've ordered insulin syringes of Amazon, to mix the Virginia with the Cherry so everything will be ok in the end no matter what ) Always good to have a bottle of menthol in the vape draw as this will always turn a bad liquid into an ok liquid that you can vape.  Sent from my Galaxy Note 2 haha nice one, i'll be keeping stocked up with menthol anyway because I enjoy it, good to know it overpowers bad liquids |

Hi and welcome Gilbert, Although extremely happy with the juice vendors I've found on this site, I did once encounter exactly the same differences between a sample and a larger bottle. I've used that same vendor many times since and had no further issues. In their defence though, I suspect the difference may amount to little more than a few drops of flavour concentrate, quite difficult to measure I imagine, especially in a small sampler bottle. Buying from large-scale producers (often chinese) may offer more mix consistency but these will usually offer far less flavour combinations to explore. Personally I prefer the custom mixing service and range of flavours available from our UK based vendors, even if there is an ocassional disparity between flavours. Having said that, taste buds change quite drastically during the first few weeks off stinkies, as do the juices if left to steep for a week. Cheers! Well it's not my tastebuds as the samples are still tasting fine, I've put the 30ml bottles in a cupboard for now and I'll try them again on Monday. After that if all is not well I'll contact the vendor. Hopefully all will be well because their delivery service is fantastic, order one day get it the next (PS I've ordered insulin syringes of Amazon, to mix the Virginia with the Cherry so everything will be ok in the end no matter what ) |

Was it from this 30ml range you bought Gilbert? www.vapeescape.co.uk/E-Liquids/30ml-Bottles/I thought these were premixed, unlike Griz's, but I'll happily stand corrected as I don't buy ready mix anymore, so I'm a bit out of touch. Thanks for the quick replies everyone Yes it was those I bought. Do they need steeped? I don't think it's my tastebuds because the Virginia sample still tasted good earlier(finished now though) |

Hi there, I just started vaping last week after I found this forum and it's Tips For Newbies thread and it's Riva 1100 Step By Step guide. After reading those threads I went to vapeescape and bought the Riva 1100 starter kit last Monday. I sampled Virginia, Menthol and Cherry and everything was going fine(I haven't had a fag since), a couple of days later we bought my GF a starter kit too. My problem started today though. We liked the Virginia and Cherry and ordered 60ml of the former and 30ml of the latter, however I've opened one bottle of the Virginia juice and it tastes differently from the sample bottle I first tried. Both are 18mg in strength but this 30ml bottle frankly isn't as nice, it's kind of tasteless compared to the sample bottle I bought. Is this unusual?Should I ask vapeescape what's up? I've tried it in three different cartomisers and my girlfriend agrees it's not the same stuff. In the meantime I've been adding some of the cherry sample to the Virginia cartomiser to give a nicer taste and I'll continue doing that so it doesn't go to waste. But has anyone heard of this happening before? Could it be a bad bottle? Should I open the second bottle to check it or should I just contact vapeescape first? Thanks, and hello again |
