Juice tastes horrible in POD

Hi All,

I recently bought a juice called Cushman from nasty juice.
It is a mango flavour with a hint of menthol. I bought a new pod for my vaporesso
device and filled it with the juice. The first time around it was really nice and pleasant.
Once the POD ran out I refilled it with the juice the second time. This time it tastes horrible like a chemical or soap. Do you know why this happens? It is only the second time I am using the same POD.

I used the juice on my innokin endura and it tasted weird as well.

Thanks

I cannot tell you exactly why it would happen. I can speculate a few reasons I think it might be so.

If you can access the coil assembly head for your pod device, how does the wick & coil appear?
Sometimes higher VG juices can gunk up either wick or coil, both. I would think that might be the issue if it is that way for both coils/coil assemblies, both gunk-ed up. If only one is then I'm not too sure.

How about how you use air flow? Is it restricted on both devices, or open?
Air flow can often play a factor in relation to the taste of some juices. I might want to explore that option for trouble shooting.

The last thing I can think, maybe your sense of tasting this particular juice has changed. Your taste buds might have shifted from enjoying the flavor of it to not. This happens and a good bit especially so for former smokers. Folks get colds too and that can spin your taste out of whack. And yes, you can get non-symptomatic colds, much as I know that sounds weird. Might also be a case of sinuses.

Well maybe this is the last thing. *chuckles* You just might have got a bad batch of this juice and in steeping it's settled out. This does happen as well. All you can do is maybe shake it up a bit and hope that you can re-mix it so it tastes like it originally did. Maybe try another flavor of juice?

Hope I'm helping though I'm doubting much if any.

No wonder it taste horrible, lol.

I can agree with you to a point. I can see how somebody might not like that combo of flavors.

Editing to keep this more clear, shorter and possibly better understood. Everyone will find some taste they like. I might for example might like (not sure yet, not had opportunity to try this) peanut butter covered sardines. You might like banana peppers on pizza. I don't care for banana peppers on my pizza. That doesn't grant me any right to say you're wrong, inferior in any way. My liking peanut butter covered sardines likewise doesn't grant you or anyone a right to say I'm wrong or inferior either.

I just started using a pod system and can say there is a flavor difference compared to normal vape systems. To me the flavor is a bit more muted but haven’t got a soapy tasting liquid yet.

I got a few flavors, some are awesome, some taste like doo doo. I try to use juices I know I already enjoyed in freebase

I can agree with you to a point.

Then again, I'd eat peanut butter covered sardines. Not sure many folks would like that. The point being though if it is a flavoring someone likes, how can anybody judge? For all I know you might like coffee strained through worn out leather boots off a dead man. Joe over yon way might like the taste of roasted lotus dipped in a vinaigrette.

Everyone finds what they like and there shouldn't be any shame in using what you like, unless of course you fondled that dead guy prior to using his boots for your coffee. To me necrophilia is seen as quite wrong. There's no reason to desecrate a fellow human being's body and practicing necrophilia I think requires shaming at the least.

See how quickly that could escalate? I'm not saying you practice necrophilia. I am though suggesting that someone might. Then, I'm also saying what taste anyone enjoys bears respecting. Unless it's one of these necrophilia, child molestation, torture or killing of the elderly or infirm, scatology. If it's one of those, sure we can shame the hell out of whoever enjoys that crap, imho.

I apologize for the bold italics. Wanted to ensure I emphasized key points for better understanding. Again, I'm not accusing you or anyone of anything. I was using certain ideas as means of illustration / demonstration in words. It can help sometimes in doing that, other times it may miss what is trying to be said. Words often get in the way of communicating with understanding and comprehension.

I know you edited out most of your post, but I have to post it because it cracks me up that this was your response to my lame joke about his juice tasting bad.

I'm glad it cracks you up. I sometimes go too far, or not far enough. I can never find a happy middle ground despite walking the narrow path. :)

Most folks talk, talk before they think. I hunt and peck type, hunt and peck type as I'm thinking. Sometimes I'll have too many trains on the rail. I get a little lost sorting emotions then too.

You may find that a lot of the world doesn't care. I'll tell you I'm apathetic selectively, but the big problem for me is too much caring sometimes. Words don't help much either. Not exactly that I've difficulty with them, well, at least not until I try communicating.
