Soapy taste?

[Serianna]

Just got in a brand new juice (green apple) and it tastes very horribly like soap, it tastes the way I imagine my kids apple scented shampoo would taste like. I have never come across a "soapy" liquid before and just trying to figure out if its vendor error in washing the equipment, or if its just something common with certain juice types.

Anything I can do to remedy this / or even just make it more tolerable, or should I just let it steep and hope that helps?

If it were me, I'd set it aside for a week to 10 days and try it again. Sometimes steeping will alleviate floral/perfumey notes in a juice. Sometimes it won't though. I've had some that were just bad and weren't going to get better. If after that time period it still tastes bad, then, well, the only thing I can offer to you is we have all been there. Some juices just don't agree with us as individuals.

OK, I will let it steep and try again, its a trial size at 5ml and got it free, so not a loss in any way, I was just really looking forward to it! It smells so much like a green apple jolly rancher candy I keep sitting here sniffing the bottle LOL.

Thanks much!

anytime! I hope it gets better. Free is a plus hehe.

I just bought two bottles from my local place, and it too tasted like soap. The kind you find in an old lady's house for decoration only, the rose shaped stuff, anyway, I am letting it steep before I try it again. It is so hard waiting for a juice to get better.

Agreed dchest02! I want to love this apple flavor, their chai was decent but I think it would be better on a LR atty vs the standard I have been dripping on.

Well, today I went back to my local store and bought a small bottle of cinnamon, and it had the same soap taste as the other two. I really hate to not support local business, but I can't waste my money on juice that tastes like soap. I'll stick to the vendors on here. I've found a couple of really good juices just from recommendations on this forum.

Do they have a set up there locally to try flavors out? I would love to have a local store but I don't think that's going to happen any time soon. Sorry to hear about the soapy taste, to have a cinnamon one taste like that is strange, perhaps it is their base?

I am in the middle of a DIY "thing". My second mix tasted soapy and I realized it was a heavy vanilla side to the recipe. Every set of taste buds are partial to certain triggers. I guess it's variety that's the spice of life or in this case, the soap of life. Keep looking for your "go to" flavor and then stock up. It's either that or start to DIY and mix your own.

Vape On!

I told my wife I wanted to try the DIY thing next, and she just rolled her eyes at me.

 

[Serianna]

LOL Dchest! I told my husband the same and he did the same.

A local store should let you try it before you buy it!

I got a small sample size of a blueberry cotton candy flavor and that one has the horrible soapy taste. But this is more like an after taste, on inhale it tastes great, it's the exhale that tastes like soap. And I agree, it tastes just like decorative soaps smell!
