Pet hair sticking out of label on juice bottle..

[Doberz]

I just got a bottle of juice from one of the more popular vendors on the forums. I was a little thrown off when I noticed a cat/dog hair sticking out from under the bottles label.. I would believe they stick on the label right after bottling, so it makes me wonder if their mixing station is really as clean as I want to believe it is? I'm not going to name the vendor, just thought I'd share to hear what others here would think if this situation happened to them?

It would totally gross me out.......I'd contact the seller..........and not use them again

Stuck to the label wouldn't bother me that much but if I found it in the bottle...then I would not be a happy camper.

I think most of the juice we vape is mixed in someones home. A few have labs but I don't think the majority of them do. JMHO

Never had anything like that happen personally, but yeah, if it did that would definitely be the last thing I bought from them.

Definitely contact them about it. I'm not sure what their setup would be like, but that strikes me as something a reputable vendor would want/need to address.

I would assume the e-liquid came from a mom/pop shop. I would contact them. I would be concerned with potential germs/contaminates in the liquid.

One hair wouldn't bother me.

You do realize there is an acceptable level of rat feces in some of our food products?

It's just a hair...

Sure it wasn't bear fur? Or maybe some kind of alien hair?

I understand your point. But is that really the standard we want to set for our e-liquids?

Unacceptable.

I doubt it's standard practice.
It's just a hair.
A hair under the label to boot.
Not in the juice...

There is much worse in the food we eat, the water we drink, & the air we breathe.

We've got 2 german shepherds and 2 white cats. As diligent as we are at pet hair removal, it still gets *everywhere*. It doesn't mean we are sloppy. I dont know how I'd feel if I were in this situation, though. If I were making juice for a living, I'd have to be absolutely .... to ensure that kind of thing doesn't happen. Even mixing juice in a location other than my house wouldn't be enough... it follows you wherever you go.

Thats gross. I only order from places with labs

Doesn't insure anything...I've been in "labs" that weren't as clean as my bathroom.

This morning, I bought a fountain slushy at Speedway. When I got to the car I noticed a black speck on top of it. Closer inspection revealed a gnat had landed there. What did I do? I picked the gnat off of it and drank it. I probably picked up more germs and grossness from the handle on the slushy machine than the gnat had on its body. Living in a bubble is a lonely place.

I wouldn't mind at all if its on the outside of the bottle. If it were on the inside I'd be concerned then pick the hair out and vape my concerns away. jk, I hate hair in my food or drink so I'd definetly send an email if I found some in my eliquid.

 

[Doberz]

I really don't mind the fact that it's on the outside of the bottle. The reason I'm a little concerned, like I stated in my initial post, is that I believe vendors label their bottles in the same location as they mix them. If a hair can end up sticking out from under a label, then it can definitely also end up in the bottle.

Also, it is a highly reputable vendor. One that I know makes a very nice amount of income mixing and selling their juices. I would think, after a couple years in the business, that they would have invested in a clean lab for their business. Not just mixing it in their basement, garage, etc.

Was it blond...?

I DIY on the desk in the bedroom. To speed up steeping, I take the glass mixing container downstairs to the kitchen to microwave it for a few (15) seconds. With 8 cats and a Cocker Spaniel, invariably, when I get back upstairs there's a fuzzy floating. I'm aware it's not the most hygenic mixing conditions, but I used to inhale tar. I'm cool with it once I pick it out.

As a vendor, I would be overly concerned about the cleanliness of my workstation and packaging, though. I'm sure the vendor would be appreciative of a note to inform them.

I posted the question in Vapors Lounge on Facebook.

I'd be ok as long as it wasn't in my juice. I have two dogs and I know that their hair goes everywhere with me. In fact, even though I've vacuumed my car many, many times, I still have dog hair in my car from a dog i haven't had in years. That stuff never goes away, it seems.

I can also see how it would be disturbing to someone, though.
