Hi folks!
I've been doing a bit of research on this topic, but I'm finding so much conflicting info that I thought I'd just "ask the audience" so to speak.
My partner and I are new-ish to vaping, her because she's smoked for years and me because I recently picked the habit back up because of stress. (I know, I know).
We started out with a couple of disposables: the Elfbar FS70K in Sakura Grape Ice and the STLTH X Geek Bar in Blue Raspberry. I loved mine; she found hers a bit harsh.
We decided to swap to something a little more affordable/permanent next, so picked up two STLTH Loop Max bases, two STLTH Loop Open 15ml refillable pods, a disposable white grape ice pod for me, and a disposable green apple ice pod for her.
Also ordered 4 60ml bottles of ejuice from Bargain E-Juice at the same time: Iced Grapple, Iced Field Berries, Circle Loops V2, and their "summer" medley.
Which brings me to my question. I've tried the circle loops, the iced grapple, and the summer, and they are all largely flavorless/no chill at ALL. I actually sent the company an email because it seemed so odd to me, and they were super nice and wrote back to let me know about the steeping issue.
We're at about the 1-week point now and while I can MAYBE taste a hint of something, I'm still really not getting any flavor on any of them. I did shake them up and let them sit a couple days as I read that can be helpful, but just... not much of anything.
So I guess my question is, is this really as impactful as it's being represented, or am I maybe just expecting too much from the juice to begin with? I did also read that disposables/pods are often jacked up with flavor and sucralose so I'm wondering if maybe that's skewing my perception a bit.
Just trying to get an idea if we should be looking at weeks to months for steeping and if the flavor can really change that much over the same period of time. Also wondering if I could maybe pick up some flavor and add it to boost the sweetness/flavor if worse comes to worse?
TIA!
