FA Vienna Cream smells strongly of alcohol. Normal?

submitted over 8 years ago by NY_S

My first time using a Vienna Cream. Strong alcohol smell. Haven't actually tried the juice yet, but I'm just wondering if it's normal.

If so, and it has effected the taste in the recipe I just tried (found on here, used at 1%), the proper way to deal with alcohol-ish flavors is to uncap the bottle for a bit, correct?

Just leave it. If you breathe your concentrate you can change the flavor (for the worse).

When I first got FA vienna cream it smelled like alcohol/acetone nail polish remover straight from the bottle. Later that night I concluded it smelled like egg nog (to me). Now i cant unsmell eggnog

Give the recipes you mix with it a cpl days or a week to just chill with the lid on, and the alcohol will dissipate. Your flavor concentrate will also not risk having the flavorants evaporate from an open bottle.

some ppl might tell you this would belong in the https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/678lv7/weekly_new_mixers_questions_thread_week_of_april/

thread. However I think it's beneficial bc I was thrown off by this flavor when I first got it, and could find nothing like this in the search bar/previous threads.

To me, it smells like that goop you squeeze out of a tube and put on the end of a straw to blow bubbles with. Tastes nothing like that though...

Threw me off the first time I ever bought some as well, definitely has a very strong smell. I wouldn't breathe it, just let it sit for a week and see how it is after that. I've always found leaving the cap off makes the juice taste weird, some will argue with me on that but that's just my personal findings.

Yes there is an alcohol aroma to it. It will settle down after sitting for a day or so.

That flavor makes a good Twinkie.

Most flavors don't need breathed, though I have heard there are some certain flavors that benefit. Vienna Cream to me smells like a pizzelle someone dunked in acetone. Only really smelled similar in two of my CAP flavors, Cake Batter and Golden Butter also have a sweet nail polish remover smell, but much fainter in both.

Ok, sounds good. Thanks for the replies, ladies and gents. Just wanted to make sure I didn't get a bad bottle or something. I'll skip the cap-off step.

Ohhhh gotcha. Most people pick up an alcohol smell from FA Vienna cream. Doesn't come through on the taste, but it's pretty strong smelling right from the bottle.

Interesting. I always described it as nail polish remover, but I totally know what you mean. I promise it has a delicious creamy flavor once you mix it. No need to air it out. Source: I use this shit by the liter. Literally.

I don't have any to mess around with and tell you if it works but i think FA - MTS Vape Wizard helps with the bitter taste till the flavor settles down.
