| Bought 2 30 mil bottles from a review who's name will remain anonymous. Thought for sure I would like them based on all other reviews she or he has done but the first bottle has a distinct soapy taste to it, What causes the soapy taste?Yuk

Only thing I can say is just buy 10mil at a time. | |

But always remember taste is subjective.
Like Rob said it's always better to get smaller samples to try before you commit to larger quantities. This also applies with DIY, always start with very small batches and adjust to taste (keep a record) then once you like it, go bigger

| I never notice a soapy taste, but I surely do get a lot of tobacco flavors that have hint-of-skunk! | |

| I just recently tried some all VG juice and didn't care for it at all. I have mixed some DIY at 50/50 and I still didn't seem to like that much VG. So for me it appears, the highest VG content I can tolerate is about 30%. I'm not so much into huge clouds of vapor as much as I like a crisp clean flavor profile with good TH.

Stays nice and wet, and dosen't go too deep as to damage the inner tube. | |

These forums are to help folks avoid mistakes and spend their hard earned money wisely. You would have been able to get some second opinions. Was it a fluke or is it always like that?
Obviously by not providing details no one can know, why even bother with the post.

| I bought a flavor based on a review once.
Was awful. Then saw the same flavor from another vendor that also had a good review and figured oh, what the heck, maybe this one is better.
That one reminds me of the USPS Flat Rate Box Commercial "We gotta get that thing out of this house".
I am done with flavor reviews

| Sometimes a flavouring like rose if it is used can taste bit like soap, but that's all about association in the mind rather than actual flavour per se. someone commented that VG can sometimes do it, this has truth to it after all a lot of soaps with have VG in them it acts as a ...darn forgot the fancy word. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerin_soap. There maybe also some e liquids that try and replicate the burnt tobacco flavour that may do this too. I seem to remember ASH being used in the production of some soaps too.
...please excuse the U's in some words, I'm from the UK

| Sam's left handed. Those U's are on purpose. Too far to the right to be an accident.
