Does it taste like Vics Vapor rub smells to anybody else? It leaves a cough drop like sensation in my throat after I take a drink.

I've never noticed that. My husband and I both drink it every night. Perhaps you got a bad batch.

I love the taste of this tea. It also smells great. Maybe it just is not for you.

I find the taste is a mild licorice and licorice does give that coated cool sensation in your mouth.

For some reason, this one does, though when I buy the exact same product at the grocery site in single boxes, it does not

I mixed what was left of this stuff with some natural gnc stuff just to cut the taste. I went to this for the same reasons you are asking. What I have noticed is it is easy to build a tolerance to all this stuff. I did however, go back to c4 for now. If you don't mind the bad taste, go for it.

Sorry Kim, I am not online often. No, we have not noticed any problem with a smell or taste. It is hard to see the fill gauge but other than that it is much faster than our old one and I love the different settings for the different types of tea. I thought I hated green tea but made at a lower temperature water, it is great. That has been a neat feature I did not know I needed.

I don't have tbat problem with mine, doesn't matter how much liquid it works.The only complaint I have is the strong smell of rubber. Sorry, get in touch with the company, see if they can help....

Yes if you break the gelcap, it does smell like that and tastes like that too. Initially I could not take the after-burp. It totally turned me off. Now I always take it with some food and wash it down with coffee and I don't notice any smell or taste.

It tastes like black licorice at first, then an aftertaste of pure disgusting. It helped me!

Absolutely not! My boyfriend and i thought it woyld be too and it wasnt! We got 5 flavors and all five of them were disgusting!!!! They smell great but arent good for vaping. My friend says they might if you mix it with VG but its not something to use just how it is.

I noticed this scent too. It must be the way they grow and package this tea in Ceylon. I brewed up a batch for my husband's summertime iced tea. He loved it!!! I brew green tea for me. The nice thing is that when I open the black tea sealed canister I get this wonderful scent. It is also present in the brewing...makes my kitchen a delight. I think that you made a good buy. By the way, I asked my husband if the cinnamon was present in the taste. He said "no". Hope you have a good experience.

Every distiller I've ever owned has produced an odd smelling product.. I've owned this unit for a while now but maybe the odd smell/flavor I'm experiencing the same as other distillers (including all stainless steel models). I run my distilled water through a brita to remove the odd smell/flavor. Even store bought distilled water is run through carbon to remove the odd flavors. perhaps this smell you folks are talking about is different than the one I experience and only applies to the ones manufactured after the one I purchased.

I do notice a minor fishy smell and perhaps a little change in the taste of my smoothies but really not much. Did you refrigerate after you opened it? I have a small jar I took to work that was not refrigerated and it did get fishier smelling. But still not that bad. I think a little taste, smell and color just comes with the product. This is still by fat the best spiulina product I've ever used and iI have been feeling marvelous!

Yes, in my experience it tastes and smells absolutely terrible. Best of luck!

Yep, pretty good stuff. Don't know about slurring speech but you can definitely feel it. But wow, the buzz isn't really worth the awful taste, in my humble opinion. Liquor goes down easier than Kava Kava.

Mine is OK as long as you drink it black. I like how it still tastes good after an hour or more. But, you have to nuke it to get it not enough after that amount of time. I wouldn't buy another one.

I've used it twice and the first time was without a funny taste. The second time there was just a hint of funny taste the first draw. I am not sure if this was due to a bit of old water left in tubing which is hard to clear but it wasn't bad and was gone after first sip. I've tried other bladders with a much more obvious taste. All in all it was much better that all other bladders I have tried in past.

I've only used the pharmaceutical grade and I haven't noticed any taste at all from once-a-day use. My wife says there is no garlic smell, but she's noticed a slight sulphury smell on my breath. Don't know if it's from the DMSO or the MSM I've been taking as well.
