Greasy eliquid

[bojacker]

Can any one tell me what is causing fresh juice to turn thick and greasy? Is it the flavor bad or is it the vg? I won't mention the vender but this has happened twice with 2 different flavors. Very nasty tasting and when I poured it out in the sink it was very greasy.

That is just the nature of e-liquid. It feels oily. It's all like that.

What flavors are they? Some flavorings will react with certain plastics which causes a 'sludge'.

Hazelnut cream and Washington cherry. THe hazelnut cream was worst. I really noticed it when I poured it down the sink. It was oily er than usual and I did try vaping the hazelnut and it tasted horrible.

Rather than dump them, I would have contacted the vendor and asked if this was normal. Perhaps sent them back for verification as to whether the juice was OK.

E-liquid does have a different feel (although I'm not sure I would describe it as "oily"). I have also found that many "cream" liquids need time to mature. Many e-liquids can taste horrible right out of the mailbox, but improve greatly with airing and aging. (So-called "steeping").
