Sounds like the same issue I had with blue mist vapor. You know e juice isn't cheap and you want make sure you get a good product, so I know it sucks when you don't. I have have juice from Volcano, Blue Mist, and Diy flavor Shack. Volcano's isn't that strong but the flavor and TH is decent. Diy is so awsome I wish I enough money to buy it by the gallons. Blue Mist had the same type of odd taste you mentioned, and I will never buy from them again.
