Unsolicited proof that the FDA is trying to kill us in 30 years or so and as such is not to be trusted:

Next time you sit down at a plate of pancakes take a look at the bottle of syrup. What's that?! It's made out of pure high fructose corn syrup with artificial flavorings? That's basically pure fat in a bottle because that's going to turn into glucose along with the refined flour of the pancakes (+ you ever look at the sodium in pancake mix?!) and it's going straight on your abs (mmm hypertension, diabetes and obesity). BTW: Real Maple Syrup sells for around 20 bucks a quart. The FDA is trying to kill people. Not today or tomorrow but in 30 years from hypertension, heart attacks, diabetes, obesity, strokes, and cancer.

I don't eat pancakes but a few times a year but I use real maple syrup and I make my own mix out of whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar in the raw(tubinado), cinnamon (real cinnamon btw not that fake stuff they can legally label as cinnamon that is toxic to you), oats, and blueberries. I fry them in Earth Balance (vegan butter). They are so much better tasting and better for you (well as good as pancakes can be for you). You ever eat raw pancake mix? It's gross right? Well my pancake mix is awesome to eat raw, it tastes like cookies lol. So, in short, DIY juice is not the only thing I make for myself because it's better to know what goes into it. If any of that sounded good PM me and I'll give you the recipe.

I Support this post 100%

Even if the FDA were regulating the e liquid industry (which i'm fairly positive they don't), it would make 0 difference!

Know what Aspartame is? It's an FDA Approved sweetener found in MANY MANY products. Guess what it also is? A Neurotoxin - go FDA!

Remember guys, the FDA is still a business, and business is all about money.
Some things the FDA Approves are all about keeping the money flowing. Not the general safety and well being of those consuming said products.

That's only one product, there are many many more out there.

But anyways, the simple fact is e liquid manufacturers can put pretty much whatever they feel like into their liquid. There are many other addictive things in cigarettes that people forget about besides just the nicotine... mostly things to just make the nicotine more addictive... i.e. ammonia. It really isn't that far fetched to believe that the liquid you got has ammonia in it, or even that with all the quality control in the world you won the worst prize ever from the e liquid lottery... you really in all honesty could have gotten an over (ammonia) saturated batch of liquid from that provider.

I would ask them for a list of ingredients, and not just trust their word on it either!! If it wasn't tested at a facility that has the equipment to do such examinations it really doesn't mean anything as far as facts go. Plus you can never rule out the whole disgruntled employee idea either, I have personally seen many many disturbing things happen working in the food industry while paying my way through college.


That does NOT mean that you should just start making wild accusations about the overall quality of the manufacturer you bought through... but it does mean you should take a little more time researching the things you are putting into your body!


Flame on if you feel, but I speak the truth and will argue this to the death.

Yes. I am vegan so I know a great many things about eating healthy. My problem was that I was still a smoker even though I made the switch to vegan when my health degraded it didn't improve as much as I'd hoped. I started exercising and got pretty ripped but I lacked stamina due to inability to breathe. I also noticed that I wasn't getting better no matter how hard I worked out as far as breathing went. I hit a brick wall. It was the cigarettes that were killing me. I have improved so much in such a short time since I quit smoking already.

I didn't want to get into what to eat and what not to eat but I did want to point out that you should trust no one. Especially the FDA. This includes DIY materials as well unfortunately so I say to you all: be ever vigilant. As a vegan I can go ahead and get a product one week and then find out they changed the formula the next week and added egg whites or milk products or some crap and I have to basically re-read the labels every time I buy something at the store. I have been forced to shopping alone as my old lady will have nothing to do with this. She's only a vegetarian so a little poison or egg white is nothing to her. Whenever she comes home with groceries I go through it and I'm like poison, poison, poison, enriched bleached flour, hydrogenated oil (transfat).... She's trying to kill me. She is not vigilant.

I agree with you 100% but I am also reminding Americans of what they are doing when they choose Chinese over American.
I am glad you posted that video for those of us who like China. I am simply taking the podium on the opposite side of the stage and saying GO AMERICAN! :)

Keep vaping the good vape, brother. :vapor:

I'm in Australia. Do I have to buy American juice too? I certainly hope not. shipping is a killer.

I think we're missing the central issue here. Op says their eliquid smells like wee.

I'm going to assume that it's op's wee we're talking about here. Would hate to think that op is smelling other people's wee coz that's nasty.

Is it possible that op's wee smells funny compared to ours? Maybe we should be offering dietary advice instead such as lay off the asparagus.

I'd offer to send a sample to op for comparison, but as I said above, shipping is a killer.

that is a good point......maybe the OP's wee actually smells like DK Tab?

its a far more plausible explanation than some people suggesting that manufacturers put ammonia in their e-liquid......the fact people can even think that makes me squirm with embarrassment to be honest as it goes beyond ridiculous! we are talking about e-liquid, NOT cigarettes!! just because cigarettes contain all manner of crap including ammonia, diesel, anthrax etc etc does NOT mean that manufacturers will start including those things too!!

geez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the first bottle of dk-tab I every bought (dekang) as soon as I took it out of the box I got a strong smell of cats piss, so it's not just you OP.

that said dekang dk-tab is one of my favourite juices, it doesn't taste like it smells :)

oh and if people stop buying chinese goods, the chinese government wont have the money to pay americas bills anymore.. so maybe 50% american 50% chinese? :)

Bwahahahaha

No danger of the Chinese running out of cash. They get plenty of ours.

Aussie souvenirs are all made in china these days. Wtf right?

We used to joke as kids that even though the Chinese are a billion strong we shouldn't worry about an invasion because they can't afford bullets.

Its amazing how things have changed

Without China to loan us money maybe we'd clean up our act and stop spending money on unnecessary wars and institute the actual tax rate on corporations (35% not the 12% that they actually pay - GE and Verizon are two of MANY corporations who MADE money from their tax returns this year due to exploiting tax loopholes, deductions, and incentives). When I was growing up we had Russia to deal with and that was pretty unnecessary, but we never actually fought them. We didn't go to war with Libya back then (though we could have) or Panama (same). This whole thing is just dumb and it's got to stop. Nothing bothers me more than having troops come home like one of my buddies who was happy-go-lucky before he joined the army and now he's back and depressed, unemployed, and has nightmares about blasting Iraqi (civilians) with a machine gun atop his tank.

So when the OP says his juice smells like wee I say buy American. Give my buddy a job. Maybe he'll cheer up and put this blackened past behind him. Maybe then you won't get wee juice.

I bought a 50ml bottle of Tobacco DK flavor from jacvapor and it has a scent of wee?

bottle of Tobacco DK flavour e-liquid - E-liquid (PG) by JAC Vapour Ltd I can't imagine that is contains wee though, right? Surely the smell should be natural tobacco like?

It seems some tobacco's just give that impression in their smell. It's pretty odd (to me anyway) that when you vape something odd smelling, the effect can be rather different than what what you'd expect from the smell. I guess "that's vaping". Ever smell unflavored nic juice? Depending on just how strong it is, that may not be a good idea (ventilation is advisable or even required at high concentrations), but if you do catch a whiff, you'll find it's not very pleasant smelling. I think it's probably most-often compared to a foot odor.

Hi! It sounds like you need to let it steep... for a really long time. I have had new juices that were just mixed smell like apple cider vinegar... but never, you know, wee. You can call the vendor and ask why it smells peculiar. Ammonia should not be an ingredient.

You may have smelled exactly that. Vinegar, lemon juice, citric acid are relatively common (but minimal) ingredients used in mixes.

I have experienced strange smells also. cat pee in particular. one day I was using a prefilled carto. When I returned to my chair, I noticed a smell that was reminiscent of cat pee. It was so convincing that I got on all fours sniffing for where the smell was coming from. it was not coming from the floor...I've smelled it since c0ming from my vape. it wasn't a vape I was enjoying, but using up. still, it didn't taste like cat pee.

then, once I overheard a co-worker outside the door to my office saying "what's that smell?". the same day a client told me he could smell something offensive...he thought it was my space heater...I don't remember what I was vaping, only that it was something I was trying to use up.

I've read other posts where someone says they, or their office, smelled great from what they're vaping. I haven't had that happen yet, but look forward to it. there's a lot of bad smells out there...

I noticed that the 4 bottles of DK i got yesterday had a 'chemical smell' to them.. all smelled alike, nothing like butterscotch, vanilla, ry4, etc.. just the 'chemical smell'. The thing is, I have had some juice with that chemical smell before.. and I ordered several bottles from that vendor because they were pretty well recommended US made , etc..(learned of them on this forum) and they are great, except.. their liquid isnt.. not to me. after steeping , i did manage to use the vanilla's, but other flavors i ordered (even cinnamon and spearmint which seemed good at first) eventually smelled/tasted like that chemical. it may just be the kind of VG they use for all I know.. I DONT know.. but.. I wasted all that money cuz i cant vape the stuff..yuk.

The worst flavor I've gotten so far is from Perfumer's Apprentice: DK Tobacco Base. It smells like satanic apples from hell instead of tobacco. I can't get past the smell to justify wasting a carto on it. Just 4 drops in 5ml ruined the mix beyond anything else. There's no way you could put 10% in a mix to make it taste like tobacco. I put both the bottle of mixed juice AND the flavor bottle in a plastic bag and I STILL smell it in my bedroom, 3 BIG rooms over. It haunts my dreams. I think I'd rather have wee. Steeping for days with the cap off has done NOTHING to chill the smell out. It's just bad.
