Perfumy/nasty juices lately

[D05GTO]

I ordered from 3 different suppliers recently to try out some different juices. Damn, I have a horrible smell in my head now. A bunch of them are just plain nasty... no where close to the flavor described but like a burnt tire put out with perfume. Smoking them is even worst I won't name the suppliers but the bottles all looked about the same and PRD dates in April.

Have 2 RY4's from same supplier manufacture date the same but one is darker and has that funky smell/taste. Anyone have a clue what's going on? Maybe somethign was cut with Vinegar?

I have had the EXACT same problem with 2 suppliers just recently. Horrible juice, low on the flavor, and the nicotine in it was NOT the mgs that I ordered, it was MUCH less. You can definitely tell. One supplier even admitted to me there really was an error with the factory on nic levels. I knew something was not right. I'm not going to mention names here. One supplier let me ship it back and refunded my money, the other would not give me a refund and said he would ship me another bottle when the new stuff comes in, but I had ordered THREE bottles and got 3 bottles of weak junk. I personally think he should replace it, but oh well. So yes, I think there is a main place a lot of these suppliers get this cheaper stuff from in China and you are not imagining this. I think they are getting it from the same place. There definitely is a problem. I think when you see some of them advertising some juices for so cheap, which both were, that's where you have to be cautious. Bot the guys are nice guys and mean well, so I don't want to mention from where, because it's not really their fault and hopefully they are both rectifying their situations with China.

I got a nasty bottle of juice and emailed the company but all they did was defend their product.
30 dollars is a lot of money to flush. The good companies will help you out and the bad ones will go down soon enough when they give people a hard time. I think it's great to tell everyone when you have a great experience with a company but probably best to not trash the bad ones other than to maybe comment that you wouldn't buy from them again and nothing more. I've been reading this forum a lot and now I pay close attention to the good reviews.
BTW-my bad juice clogs all my attys and it has a strange taste. Bottle wasn't sealed either.
Also the nicotine level they claimed it had was not there AT ALL. I wonder what the heck was in that bottle. Don't matter now. It's dumped....

Same here, ordered from 2 different suppliers, both sets have a perfumey after taste, both sets were prepared in April. Not happy.

Well....off to check the PROD dates on some bottles in the fridge....

 

[dc2k08]

yup, been hearing that a few times now but It didn't happen to me cause I'm still slowly getting through my stockpile. Maybe some manufacturers in China found a new supplier who doesn't quite know the correct ingredients or else someone lost the recipe books.

I have the same situation. One supplier's juice had a floral taste to. I ordered other juice flavors from the same supplier and they tasted great, it was only in one flavor. They all had the same manfacture date. Maybe the nic content is too high. The juice kicks my ...., but it hard to deal with the taste. I think I'm going to dilute it with some VG, and maybe add some loranne flavoring to it. I should have known that 36 MG is too strong for this noob. Well I guess it does not hurt to have some extra juice on hand just in case. I have only purchased juice from 3 suppliers so I'm still experminting on flavors.

Hey speedracer, 36 by itself is not a good thing to do.
Either dilute it or use it to perk up low nic juice but please don't vape it straight cause it's too much nicotine. Really!
You can do what you want to do but I advise against it.
36mg. is too strong for everybody.

 

[madlock]

Amen and hallelujah. I ran into the exact same thing with. The worst was a 36mg bottle of Vanilla. While cutting it with PG to 18mg fixed much of the overstrength-related problem, the perfumey "chemical" taste, absolutely unrelated to the strength and precisely what you described, persists.

BLECH!

Everybody except the thousands of people that vape it on a regular basis

 

[Willowsong]

I had the same thing happen. I urge you to contact your suppliers and let them know! I did and was met with not only great concern but a fantastic resolution. Give your suppliers an opportunity to fix any issues!

 

[madlock]

After tasting 36mg, I envision it being reserved for the likes of Charles Bronson, John Wayne, and certain U.S. Marine Divisions.

 

[nitewriter]

I had this same problem. Luckily I bought it from a supplier who cares that his customers are happy. Bad stuff returned and good stuff in route.

I told him it wasn't good for anything but dabbing a little behind my ear.

 

[Figurehead]

Order some stuff from Walrus. I just got 4 bottles and all tasted GREAT. Mind you, they are "treat" or "novelty" flavors in my book, but still INCREDIBLE. All are at "around 18 strength" accorcing to him, but who cares... the flavor is where these juices are at.

OMG! I turned into a Walrus fanboy!

That can't be good for your liver....

[D05GTO]

I did contact the suppliers and one is genuinely concerned and taking care of it. Haven't heard a word from the other. I usually don't vap straight 36 but sometimes a few puffs of it if I know it will be awhile before another break. Usually mix it down with lower mg juices to get the nic strenght I like.

It's not in the NIC strenght either because some of it is 6mg with the same flavor :/ Granted it's not as pronounced but it's definitely noticeable. This would turn someone off to e-cigs quick if they got a batch like I did and had none to compare it to.

i would not agree with any of this statement , just sayin.. i once vaped nothing but 36mg juice , the only reason i moved down is because i eventually want to get to 0 nic.

I just learned how sensitive the plastic bottles are. I keep a small bottle of body spray in my truck cubby. Some may have leaked out a LONG time ago cuz you occasionally get a small whif while digging in the cubby. Anyway, I keep my car vape on top of papers and crap in the cubby, which is so full you can't shut it. Anyway, dug out my emergency spare from there the other day, and it tasted exactly like I was vaping that body spray right from the bottle (no, I wasn't). But NASTY!!!!!!!!!!!! I suppose since pg is used to suck up moisture in humidors, or whatever it does, it also will suck up scents and whatever else it is near! So be careful where you store it. I mean, you can barely smell it in the cubby, but that plastic pg bottle which was always on top of the cubby, never touching any body spray (which leaked over 2 years ago and should have evaporated by now) absorbed it from the air through the plastic and was STRONG! Something to think about............

I think a true mark of a great supplier is not if you have issues with their product, it's how they handle the situation when you do. It makes no sense to me to not share this information with the rest of the community. If you received sub par product, and the supplier won't remedy the situation, I certainly want to know about it. I'm sure most members want to know about a supplier who doesn't care about their customers enough to correct a bad situation.

I've always felt that this forum was about sharing experiences. I'd like to urge anyone who received crappy product that the supplier won't remedy, made it difficult on you, or was generally not pleasant about it to share with the rest of the class. I know I would appreciate it.

I haven't had very many experiences with suppliers, but I have used liquid from myvaporstore, nuvape, cigtechs, johnson's creek and eastmall.

Myvaporstore and cigtechs had the best tobacco...johnson's creek had the best flavors (except for wild cherry, that was horrible)

A thought... after using the "bad" stuff, thoroughly clean and blow out your atomizer, grab a new cart and then try it. I had a bad batch (wild cherry) and it tasted like soap. Everything after that tasted like soap (also the atomizer may have burned some polyfill)

That's what I did to correct the flavor. The stuff from eastmall seems weak, it isn't bad, but the flavor is very weak. Cigtechs nicotine is strong, tobacco flavor is strong, good overall vape. Their watermelon sucks though. I am not getting the good fruity flavors from anyone except johnson's creek, and again, NOT THE WILD CHERRY.

LOL sorry for repeating that over and over, but I cannot stress enough how bad that wild cherry was.
