Does e-liquid stink up the place?

[Cumulo Vapus]

@Culumo Vapus Why is your stuff going to your friends place
and,why isn't he simply relabeling them and shipping them to
you? Judging from the picture it appears you have a lot of
nice stuff sitting out of your reach. I would want it ASAP.

Mike

Its going to him because if it came to me with shipping forms that said vaping gear it would be confiscated. Normally i would have asked him to just relabel it and post but there are 4 different shops i ordered from and 4 different packages ...i just wanted him to send me a snapshot of them so i could tally up and see that nothing was missing. And of course he didnt repack the stuff when he went to work...just left it out. Plus i wanted him to transfer all the small stuff into the biggest box to save on shipping....

Well, lesson learnt...no more tobacco flavors...no more plastic bottles. And no more opening packages to check.

@Cumulo Vapus where is your friend at and where are you?

A couple of hundred you say?

I'm a little green with envy right now

I just started DIYing after finding out I'm sensitive to PG and I currently have two main flavors at my disposal and 3 more accent flavors to spice them up with a bit, lol

I have a pretty sensitive sense of, well, basically everything, lol, and it has it positives and negatives I guess. I often wish I could smell or hear a little less to be honest, like TS's friend right now I imagine

Actually i am not too happy about having that many since many i have barely used in close to a year , worried about them losing potency or going bad .

Funny , your user name is what my friend kept repeating in the hospital after he forgot to pickup some milk for the wife .

Can anyone who's received a sizeable shipment of eliquid in glass bottles recently confirm whether the package smelled strongly upon arrival?

I have never received nor know anyone one that has received smelling shipments.
i'll ask again. Where is your friend located and,where are you located? Why do you beleive
your shipping will get confiscated?

@skoony - I believe the OP posted in another discussion, that he's not in the US, but is somewhere with more rigid import restrictions than here as far as vaping "stuff".

Well, you are lucky….I just got off the phone with my fiend and he said that the liquids made his apartment smell like "rotten eggs".

I find that just amazing….but I trust my friend…he does not make up this kind of stuff.

As far as where I or my friend are located, I would respectfully say that I do not share information like this on a public forum..that's just common sense.

Just t trying to help you out. Smelly or not I do not understand why you think
this stuff will get confiscated if sent to you. Won't it get confiscated if your
friend sends it? Are you a juvenile? Can't you just go get it?
Now it smells like rotten eggs. How many times has it changed smell?
Why doesn't your friend pack it all up and send it to you? Problem solved.

My last order of flavors was all in glass bottles and sealed in plastic but I do smell the desert flavors. Could have been on the plastic or in the cardboard boxes. My sense of smell has increased 10 fold since I became a former smoker but the smell is delicious and not offensive.

I will humor you....when my friend first alerted me to the packed juice stinking up the place, he did not describe the odour specifically...it was only after a call today when he described it more specifically as rotten eggs....so no part of my account has changed. As for rest of your questions i'll let you know when i get the stuff.

Thanks....looks like glass bottles do mitigate the smell factor, but the weak link is probably the plastic caps and their lining, if any.

I kinda agree about the drama queen thought. Just bag them up and put them somewhere.

Anyway, I used to get all vendor juices and the plastic (outside) gets juice particles on them. I forget the vendor, but it was like every shipment had a juice leak because a lid wasn't on tight. I regularly took the bottles out of the packaging bag and tightened each lid as a first thing. Then it was wash them to get the juice off.

I think juice particles get into everything. When I finish a DIY bottle, run them through the dishwasher. I can still tell a mint bottle...slightly, but I can.

 

[SteveS45]

I have had glass dropper bottles I had to wash multiple times and use an Alcohol solution to rid it of the previous e-Liquid smell. The smell was not in the rubber or plastic tip but the bottle itself. When your dealing with concentrates that could be 100 times stronger than a regular e-Liquid.

 

[JCinFLA]

He's not dealing with concentrates, Steve. He's been talking about retail finished eliquids he's been buying...not stuff for DIY.

 

[SteveS45]

I did not say he was dealing with concentrates I spoke about dealing with concentrates in general so your assuming I meant he was is incorrect.

 

[Bonskibon]

Hmm, that's some nice gear there. Anywho, hope you get your stuff.

 

[JCinFLA]

OK, whatever, Steve! Was just pointing out that this whole thread was about finished eliquids, in case you hadn't gone back and read it all before posting. Thought I'd give you a "heads up" to that, since both of your posts dealt with "flavors" and "concentrates". But, everyone is free to post about whatever they want to in any thread, whether it's related to it or not.

 

[SteveS45]

No you are just being argumentative as usual. I am offering some observations and if you do not agree then you can just pass by and not address me.

 

[JCinFLA]

Oh, so you're a mindreader now, and know someone's purpose for posting. OK, gotcha. I'll never post anything specifically to you again. No problem for me!

 

[SteveS45]

No just tired of your constant posts addressing me directly and if you have nothing good to sa, say it to someone who wants to listen to you. Go ahead use that very mature response again.............. What was it? Whatever?

Well in that case, perhaps it's time to share some of those unused bottles?

And I'm sorry for you friend, but if he's such a sissy that he lets a girl beat him up I guess he had it coming. Or idk, some folks enjoy that sort of stuff or so I've heard, perhaps he's just a big old masochist?
