Rhodonite: I can only taste the almond

submitted over 8 years ago by MaxOWTex

Bought some one-shot Rhodonite from ecigexpress, and I can only taste the almond after 3-day and two week steep.

I had a similar issue with some Strawberry Cream mix where I couldn't taste the strawberry.

Should I start adding sucralose to my mixes to make the fruity flavors stand out?

Have you mixed with TFA Strawberry, or any strawberry before? You might be one of those non-strawberry tasters and you might be getting the same from rhodo. Shoot me a PM with your email and I can sort you out.

Mind sharing the details? Same issue with response.

I'm pretty sure that it's my own taste sense. A friend said that they couldn't taste the almond, but that they could taste the berry.

I made it at 9.3% flavor as directed and 70/30 VG/PG at 1.3mg/mL nicotine. Tasted at 3 days, 2-3weeks (3 current), and it hasn't changed since the third day. Essential depot for the VG and PG, and Liquid Barn VG 100mg/mL nicotine.

I got the concentrate as a one-shot from ecig express.

Let me know if you want any particular info.

Interesting. I can only taste the raspberry. Then after a couple of weeks it all turns to mud.

Me too. Nothing else than raspberry and throat hit

The recipe really is not good. IDK how it managed to be hyped so much.

Suraclose is not likely to help. What % did you mix it up at?

Did you shake the shit out of the concentrate before using it to mix?
Did you shake the shit out of your juice before you let it steep?

Its tough to say what the problem is, I barely taste almond when I mixed that juice.

A good way to find out what's wrong would be to buy all the flavors and mix it yourself, if you had the time. Then you could tell if you got a bad bottle or not

I sure shaked the concentrate and juice very well.
I mixed at 9.3% flavor 70/30 vg/pg 1.3mg nic

I even shaked the juice every day.

That's unfortunate. I have no experience with the pre mixed concentrate so I can't offer much more in the way of assistance. Have you contacted the vendor? Or maybe got a second opinion from someone else vaping from your setup with the juice ?

I got the rosky milk and it was the grossest flavor ever. Never again buying one shots. Thinking they have low quality control and either don't mix them enough or percentages vary. You got one too heavy on the almond

Have you mixed the original? If you can tell that the original and the one shot are vastly different I would bring that up with the manufacturer for quality control. It's good for them to know these things so they can avoid similar issues in the future.

Yea I pretty disappointed with both the rosky milk and rhodonite one shots I bought. Used them once to try in 15mls and dumped them out because I needed the bottles

I am guessing you are mute to INW Raspberry. I am mute to all strawberries except INW Shisha Strawberry and some cherries. I made Rhodonite up substituting FA Raspberry and it is fantastic

I had a bottle of Rhodonite from ecigexpress and it tasted nothing like I am use to. Still have the bottle here. I have the same one shot from chefs in the UK and it is amazing.
