Got my new bottle in from VT. I noticed a difference in smell immediately. I can still smell the VT but it's not NEAR as strong as the first bottle I got. I've also noticed that as I've been using the current first bottle for a couple of mixes the taste of the nic has subsided further and further. Not sure if this is due to my my tastebuds acclimating to the taste or the taste dying down after being opened. I'll report back to this thread once i mix a batch up with my new bittle of nic.
