It may be relevant for me to drop in here... the two faulty 500ml bottles of Box Elder 48mg nic I have (which smell and taste bad) are both lot 256. As soon as I read your lot numbers I had to check them, kinda gave me a little shiver when I saw the 256 on both bottles.
More than ever I would really like to know if these two bottles are just bad tasting or over strength.
Olef, PM me. If they smell bad, it could be more of the really high stuff, in fact I would expect it. BE nic in general has very little smell. If you have original bottles and don't mind sending one, this would be excellent.
