As in bad Stoney. It tastes terrible, and it doesn't even remind me of nicotine. I use Snus occasionally. Bro, I get more tingle from 8 mg General snus than Alchem 100 mg weirdness.

It seems the number of vendors selling acceptable nic is dwindling fast............ boo!!!

I know man. When I run out of my supply. I'll be clueless of what to order next. I just hope WL doesn't go this route.
WL has been my go-to, but they seem to run out of nic constantly. I was hoping to find another reliable vendor at a similar price point just in case...

I've been searching other vendors also. I ran across this one two days ago. I sent an email asking if it was from Alchem, and they said it was. I just don't understand how they think it tastes good. It could be that I taste things very well. I don't even go past 2% on flavorings. Maybe I'll start sucking on salt tablets, to burn up my taste buds some. :D

Maybe they don't have any choice. (Meaning our vendors, not Alchem). Could be that BT is buying up all decent nicotine and leaving the little guys access to only the crap stuff.

I seriously doubt it. Or maybe the vendors think they are buying great nic from a FDA inspected facility, and the FDA is setting us up for disaster ! Hahahahahaha !!!!

Jeremy this Alchem is very weak. I tasted a drop of 100 mg, and didn't get any burn.

Glad to hear you confirm this. From the dec. new process mfs batch I vaped 36 straight and was never able to do that before. I find myself dripping 36 just to get a decent th. Never needed more than 18 before. I sure hope we can find a good source. I want to replace this nic.. But with what? .. WLabs ...

I guess I'm back to ordering small bottles again. I was super Stoked to order my first big bottle from mfs.. Only to get stuck with crap.. I really should have asked for a refund.

I have to say about the kerosene/gasoline smell I know what you are all talking about---I noticed that in a beginning incarnation of a popular vendor's nic but ONLY the first time. I talked to the vendor about it immediately and they were very responsive. Eventually I bought again and it was perfection. Point being, anything distaseful or foul smelling should be reported to the vendor at once. They can't fix things without feedback.

There is a good reason why some Nic solutions smell like Kerosene. According to this article, Kerosene is used in the manufacturing process.

Good research exchaner .. Yeah it's the kerosene it makes it more organic you know like crude oil is organic.. Meaning from the earth. Basically vaping traces of kerosene would be down right dangerous. (I don't know if there are any traces)

'News flash - " new study shows ecigarettes contain kerosene and can be hazardous, an all out ban is under way." '

We do need to stop this madness. All I want is some good untainted nic.

All hell is goin to break lose when the vendors that sell liquid start using this nicotine. Then everyone will be up in arms about why prices are going up, because the vendors will have to use more flavoring to cover the plastic taste.
And lots of canker sores from chemical overload. We'll be seeing threads like "Herpes from 80% Flavoring" :D
