I just whipped up a batch of orange cream, and for the recipe, I had to Substitute the FlavorArt Orange with FlavorWest.

When my bottle of flavoring came in, the drop tip seemed really warped and melted, and the stuff seemed extremely strong, even acidic to the touch. There was also a little bit of brown particulate gathered at the top of the liquid.

I decided just to use it anyway (at least to test the recipe) and after I mixed it all up in a 60ml glass bottle with dropper cap, the liquid has become so cloudy that in the (amber) bottle, you can't even see the plastic dripper in the liquid even when held up to bright light. It is a type of cloudy where there's millions of the tiniest looking particles of either air or something else. I've never seen any of my liquids mix like this.

None of the flavors are anywhere near cloudy like this, and I'm hoping that the dropper cap isn't being melted by the Orange too. I'm not sure what else could cause this extreme particle clouding, as it's high VG and there's also no nicotine or sweetener (EM) added. The only extra ingredient is Koolada. It's a 13% mix and I've mixed this much before with custard flavors and it's absolutely nothing like this... even my sweetest store-bought liquids don't even look like this.

Do ya'll think this stuff is safe to vape? Does anyone have any experience with FlavorWest Orange? Does it eat away at stuff badly? I need opinions please!

I'd send it back to them, 60ml mix 'n all , minus a sample I'd retain in a glass vial and ask if it's really supposed to look like that.
Done flavours from like a dozen different suppliers (FW not among them), but never had anything that went kinda 'crumbly' on me in the bottle.
Some flavours are tank busters (i.e. causing plastic tanks to crack and leak ), but I'd keep it outta my attys till I get word from them...

I had the same thing happen to me just today. I've been vaping a popcorn recipe using Cap popcorn, Inw Biscuit and a few drops of sweetener which is really good but I thought I'd play around with it and added some Flavor West butter popcorn to it. It turned real cloudy. I checked the new FW popcorn and it to looked cloudy. I tried the new recipe and it tasted really bad so I pitched it. Wish I could tell you what the problem was but I don't have a clue. Good luck!
