Mountain Oak Vapors' Classic Country oddities? Alcohol?

[CuppaJoe]

First off, my go-to juice had become Classic Country RY4 over the past couple months.


I recently ordered two 30ml bottles (9mg, 0mg) of this juice from MOV, as well as a 15ml (0mg).


The 15ml 0mg juice was spot on, right out of the bottle. The taste I've come to know and love. GREAT vape.


The 30ml bottles were unfortunately unvapeable :-S The juice was near-clear in color, didn't smell like much, and the flavor was a very weak vanilla on the inhale and quite strong alcohol (Everclear-like) on the exhale.


The marking on the 30ml bottles are both April 18, and I've let them steep for several weeks in a 70 degree, dry, dark environment since receiving them. I've also performed some breathing, to make an attempt at letting the alcohol aspect dissipate. Unfortunately - to no avail. Unvapeable and a very, very different juice from the 15ml bottle we received.


Any thoughts? I'd love to stick with this RY4, but if the recipe changed or this batch is bad... I'm feeling lost here, and out of 30 some odd bucks :-\

Cheers all,
CuppaJoe

I've had that same problem with them. Except I bought 6 30ml bottles of 2 flavors cause we loved them. We'll they changed something we/me and wife can't cape them anymore even the 0-nic gives us headaches. And be careful at criticizing them. Steve the owner don't like it.

Bummer! Glad to know though, that it's just not me. I emailed their support address listed on the website yesterday morning, but haven't heard anything.

Back to square one on ADV and am on a new search for RY4.

Any additional MOV vapers have feedback to contribute?

Many of their flavors were recalled and reformulated due to concerns over diacetyl [sic] after testing, so that might account for flavor difference. Not certain if CC was one of those, but I think it was since it had caramel flavoring.

Anyway, here's a few links of interest: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...in-oak-vapors-premium-tennessee-e-liquid.html

Thanks, jefsview. I recall reading the diacetyl info in the RY4 thread and was disappointed to see that had slipped past their testing.

Classic Country wasn't on the list of those affected, but who truly knows...

The first bottle of Classic Country I ever got was from a local shop and had 1/18/2014 as the date on the bottle. DELICIOUS juice. Man, loved every drop.

This new batch though... whoa momma. Horrid.

Still no reply from MOV customer support. Incredible.
