Yeah, but how did you calibrate him?
Kidding aside (for just a bit), this is a very subjective area. I assume you tried the batch you sent him for taste/smell before sending them? I doubt the PO opened the box..... Not to second guess Jared, of course, but to try to find a scale point here somewhere? Perhaps he could send you any of the smelly ones not full of contraband?
Also, I agree with a former poster. I've noticed a difference in taste with the higher power carts. In fact putting a single cart on a VV head is kind of interesting sometimes..... Could it just be an artifact of that? I'm stuck on the 2.4s being OK and these 1.5s being very bad......well I guess two different batches, which makes it even more puzzling.
