Mine is batched dec. 4 th also clear no off taste to me, I had to go up from my normal 12mg to 24 to get any satisfaction. Lots of time just straight 36

Have you tested it to see if the nic level is what it is supposed to be?

Over the weekend, I ordered 3 - 120ml bottles. One from WL, one from MFS, and one from Nude Nic. I also ordered the WL test kit. I'm hoping that one or all is "good".

Anyone have an update on their latest Nic orders. I only started diy about 2 months back. I've only made two nic orders from MFS, so I don't know how various nic solutions compare. I thought about making my next order through WL just to see what/if there is a noticeable difference.

Just finished bottling it (100mg/ml 500ml from WL) up for freezer storage in eight 60ml amber glass bottles). It's very clear with hardly any smell, maybe a very slight earthy aroma but I didn't shove my face in there ;) . I also had some left out of the last batch and I can tell no difference whatsoever between the batches. I'm in the process of mixing a 120 ml bottle of RY4D (might finally last long enough to steep :D )up with some of the new Nic. I will update this if I taste anything off about the mix. I don't anticipate that though because it has the exact same (or lack of) aroma as my last batch and is very clear. :toast:

Cheers,
Steve

I received that last week and as I type this I'm vaping a Tank of RY4D made with it and it tastes great.

Maybe it's "just me" but to attempt to try to discredit a vendor registered here without any proof is "lame" to be polite. OTOH - IF- you have actual proof that is quite another matter, MANY I am positive would love to see something besides "your opinion" that RTS is not being honest about USA nicotine.

Without real solid convincing evidence, I submit that Randy at RTS is more aware of the truth of where his nicotine comes from; than anyone's "thoughts and opinions" who have never been near his business. But hey that is "just my hunch" ;)

Also for some of us, since RTS states clearly they DO extract their nicotine in the US from only USA tobacco grown in North Carolina, many folks like to support USA farmers and workers when possible ; I have no issues with anyone who doesn't feel that way.

Yet another point , RTS contributed supplies to Brother Frankie's homeless vaping endeavor (that is not a "hunch" ) so that alone is worth my trusting them and doing business with them FWIW

Someone else worth remembering :)

So - since my last post in this thread from May of last year, I've been vaping the same nic bases - WL Regular, WL Ice, RTS and Xtreme Vaping . .all purchased at around the same time . .spring 2013. I purchased a lot of nic!

Most of it - probably 80% - I have vaped unflavored. My overall favorite is WL Regular. For the price, it's phenominal. My favorite in terms of taste is Xtreme Vaping. Something about it - it just has this really clear, crisp taste. I grew tired of WL Ice, actually . . it's really flavorless and smooth but pretty boring in an unflavored vape. Even in flavored juice, I prefer Xtreme Vaping - it gives a bite without adding much flavor.

I didn't buy too much RTS. I think only 120mls. I finished it several months ago. I remember it being definitely good - but I prefer WL Regular. Can't remember too much about why . .but I feel like the WL Regular is slightly cleaner tasting.

OVerall, I'm kind of torn . . XTreme Vaping is pricey. It's not 3x better than WL Regular but I do prefer it . .and the overall cost of my juice would still be low even with XTreme Vaping . . .hmm . .I guess I'll get some more XTreme Vaping when it's re-order time . .plus I want to try some of the new (to me, at least) you guys are talking about.

Thanks for the report Jimi. Sorry you wasted your cash. Shame, Nicvape was a great supplier.

Did it have any of that Kerosene smell?
Thanks man. Good thing I bought the smallest bottle. Yeah, like rubber and petroleum of some sort. I know that Nicvape states the nic is from Alchem. I'm not liking it at all.

I have tried the new MFS, and to be sure the smell has changed, but nothing like the rubbery smell I read in this thread. The new Nic to me smells somewhere in between what I smell from Wizard Labs and Vaping Zone. Am I the only one whose sense of smell fails to pick up this rubbery aroma? I also detect a slight change in taste, but not much change in Throat Hit. However my judgement on that department may not be accurate since I only vape at 8mg.

Well man if you don't taste or smell it that's a good thing! I assumed your batch is from the December lot? That batch seems to be the cause of some disagreement, I think I'm the only one that doesn't like it as far as I can tell. But I am sticking to my guns, its not enjoyable.

What ECFer Mingi sent me a while back (I assume it was from late summer?) was fantastic, nothing like this. The october lot is significantly worse than the December lot.

And it seems NicVape has some of Alchem's not so tasty product as well based on his recent experience.

I ordered mine after reading "A Lesson on Nicotine" post, so I assume it is the new batch. But is it possible I received the left overs from the old batch? I doubt it. BTW I still have a batch from 6 months ago, along with those from WL and VZ. I used those as a basis of comparison. I'd be very curious to see what you think if you tried a sample of mine. You can PM me and I'd be happy to arrange it.

I ordered from the new MFS batch in december and I did not have a rubbery smell but it did have a strong NIC odor and slightly amberish. I mixed it down to my usual vaping strength and no smell and it vaped just fine (But less peppery which is ok with me). I've been vaping it a couple of weeks now and all is good.

I ordered a big bottle of it too back in October and the only word I could think of to describe it was "fuel." I contacted them and they were quick to send me a new bottle which wasn't as bad as the first but when it's gone, I don't wish to replace it with the same. I was so disappointed after reading good reviews. I want to try Nude Nic but I'm a little gun shy.
