Juice turned into one hour in a reeky, rubber like, mess. Contamination?

Just to be clear, this is not a rant on Bella Valente Halo. It must have got contaminated somewhat, I can't think of anything else.
But perhaps somebody might be able to guess what I did wrong.

4 days ago I received a bunch of halo juices, including a 30ml 24mg of Bella Valente. I put the whole lot steeping after opening and dripping a bit of all of them. Gave it a vape everyday, and and Bella got better and better.
Left them in a empty cupboard, lean but for a faint smell of mould. Caps where off for 24h and then put them back.
That's what I have done with other juices as well, with 5ml and 10ml bottles, and none ever turned weird.

Yesteday I took them off, vaped a bit of Bella, which tasted great, and opened a new debridged atty.
One hour after, vaped a bit more and it tasted awful, difficult to describe, perhaps like coal or rubber. I blamed the atty and changed it. Same thing.
Anything I vaped after tasted like that. At first I blamed some cheap brandy I was sipping actually, thought it messed messed up my taste buds or something.

This morning I realized that the bella bottle smelled like the thing. I cleaned the outside but the liquid itself has a faint smell of it. Even my shirts smells like it and it took 3 syringe washes to clean attys :)

I can only guess that the dropper touched the new atty and got contaminated with primer.
Or that the piece of toilet paper (hemm, didn't have any kitchen paper at hand) which I put the dropper on while steeping might have released some acid or something.

But bottle was closed for 24 h with the dropper on, and tasted great just one hour before turning bad, so probably paper is not the culprit.

Did this ever happened to anybody else?
Any guess what the cause might be?

maybe that faint smell of mold in your cupboard was airborne and contaminated the bottle. :confused:

Perhaps, I a not sure. But the other juices I have steeped there are fine. I really think that something must have dropped into it and messed it up.
I am heart broken, I had even bought my first tank to fill it up with that :)
