Is it me ... or did I get a bad batch ?

[Skramrox]

So I bought 115ml of VG 36mg from HealthCabin along with 12 different flavours. Went to the local chemist and got some pharma grade PG. I mixed 2 parts PG to 1 part HC VG giving me roughly 12mg mix. Then I added the tiniest drop of RY4 flavour and gave it all a good shake. Loaded my e-cig and puffed at it for a while. It tasted absolutely vile !!! I then tried new batched with the same ratios just different flavour mixes. With some I added 5% flavour and with some more. Its been 4 days of non stop trial and error. Everything I mix tastes revolting. I also noticed that the HC VG is dicolouring the glass on my tank - it sort of leaves a hazy residue on the inside of the tank. I replaced the tank and within 30 minutes it started to dicolour the new tank. I have spoken with many local mixers and they all recon there is something wrong with my HC batch. What do I do - at wits end !!!!

Let me guess... "Organic" VG?

If yes, then bad batch. Flip another coin and try again, maybe.

Try mixing a small batch without any flavoring and test on an atty. Try and find out if it's the flavoring or the nic juice. Freshly made flavors need to steep esp tobacco.

I took my HC VG to my local vape-store and asked for some advice. The juice is 10000000% BAD !!!!! HC you suck !!! The order got here in 5 days EMS so it didn't go bad in transit. This was shipped as bad stock. How sad that HC would do this.

Sink.
Drain.

edit: I take this back. I always follow up on stuff like this, actaully.

Isn't there any recourse for bad suppliers on this forum ?

You need to contact the vendor and give them a chance to remedy the situation first.

There are forums for both positive and negative reviews of vendors. Read the forum rules first

Reviews of Suppliers - Positive

Reviews of Suppliers - Negative

I leave my liquids for a week or two to mix together properly to get the best out of them, not sure if it makes a difference but worth a try Vapeescape has 100ml of vg or pg for 3.99 if it was a bad batch try them as I have never had this problem myself.

Fortunately, there is a way to test juice for correct nicotine content. I would suggest a kit from Wizard Labs.

Unfortunately, there is no way, other than a certified lab, to test liquids for "spoiled".

I would think the vendor would really want to know about this anyway, lest they have more than one customer who received that batch. Please don't leave anybody a negative review until more inspection can be done. ! Yours could have just been in a hot mailbox or mailtruck, who knows, but chances are there were other customers who got this batch and people need to know


and hopefully, they DO keep a record of batch numbers for the nic, vg, flavorings, etc. they use. This is something I doubt most vapers are aware of, but all my flavorings and stuff from Wizard do have #s on them.

So is there any update to this"? Has the vendor been notified?

I feel there is a requirement here to protect other vapers----unless the vendor is notified, and is able to check batch numbers, etc. then other people are at risk here for getting ill.
