Well I know I know, freebies are always awesome no matter what they are. I am always greatful to get whatever V4L throws in. But my freedie of coconut juice has me thinking. Its probably just my crazy phobic self but I got a 5ml coconut nobacco juice as my freebie and it was half way full. I opened it up and noticed it had already been open. It makes me feel indifferent because now I have all these thoughts. Like if it was sent back. Who mixed in what. If it was around anyone with a sickness I could get. i know thats a little stupid and I sound ungreatful but Im scared to try it. sense I just got over my bronchial infection that was appearently onset by somebody else (so they told me) Im a bit more cautious as to what I intake. Now I know how this sounds and Im in no way shape or form picking on V4L or making them look bad Im sorry if it seems that way. Cause the only forum I go to is V4L. And the only PV stuff I buy is from V4L I dont want to bad mouth them at all. If someone from V4L could just say dont worry brandnew its just tested here at put in the freebie pile I would try it and probably love it!

So anyone else have a similar situation??:D Love you V4L!

well, v4l has a policy about returning juices, ya can't do it--so I doubt its something someone returned. I find the 5ml bottles often look half full, but in reality equal 5ml.

In my honest opinion, vaping causes hypochondria. I had a chest xray done, stress test, pulmonary function test, and an allergy test because I was experiencing tightness in my chest...thought for sure it was my asthma acting up from vaping. Turns out I'm having anxiety problems.

The good thing is that you are observant enough to check your gear before you use it. Even with the best prevention, sometimes things happen and it looks like you're the kind of person who will notice before you blindly use something and then have a problem. Kudos!

Did you compare it to a (full) 5ml bottle? If so and the level is off, perhaps it was incompletely filled at the factory, or leaked somewhat in transit. I wouldn't worry that someone else had used it - I mean, it's not like they would have licked the bottle or anything... at least I hope not. My big concern would be that it wasn't airtight in transit. If stuff can get out, then germs can get in.

PG does have some antibacterial qualities, so it seems unlikely that you'll get sick from using it, but I'd probably err on the side of caution.

Sense I just got over my bronchial infection that was appearently onset by somebody else (so they told me) Im a bit more cautious as to what I intake.

Well, every infection has to come from somewhere, and other people are usually the "somewhere". It's not like we walk into a disease control lab and start licking petri dishes. Be sensible, but not paranoid!

I always think back to what George Carlin once said:

"When I was a little boy in New York city in the nineteen-forties, we swam in the Hudson river. And it was filled with raw sewage! OK? We swam in raw sewage, you know, to cool off. And at that time the big fear was polio. Thousands of kids died from polio every year. But you know something? In my neighborhood no one ever got polio. No one! EVER! You know why? Cause WE SWAM IN RAW SEWAGE! It strengthened our immune system, the polio never had a prayer. We were tempered in raw s**t!"

It's always worked for me, but YMMV.

Maybe someone was vaping it and accidently bagged it.Probably looked all over for it!


:lol: That was my first thought. Can you imagine, loading packages as quick as you can, reach down and grab your own juice bottle and throw it in... an hour or so later you're tearing the place apart looking for your beloved coconut? :shock:

Nobody vapes anything but prefilled at the offices. It's too busy to stop and fill a cart.

PM me :)

This! Trust me, nobody has time to be filling cartos whilst filling orders at work.

If the safety seal is broken, junk it. That's what the "quality seal" MEANS. On any product.

the fact that it was a freebie means "junk it and move on".

AND this!! If the bottle lid's seal was broken....just toss it. It's only $2.95/bottle anyway.
