rancid juice looking like a slushy, unvapable.

[Willcrayton]

I have ordered from mount baker vapor for as long as I have been vaping, and every order I have received bottles that look like they are a frozen slush, look like the vg and pg are separated. The juice is RANCID, and I have steeped these, and it just makes it worse IMO. It only happens with lemonade flavors and cherry flavors. It tastes like soap, and it hurts like H**l. Any thoughts on how to make the juice useable, or why it's happening?

I'm using the nautilus mini and an MVP20W

PG and VG don't separate once mixed, as best I can tell. Is there any medicine-like smell or smell of alcohol? You can try to evaporate out any alcohol by letting it sit with the cap off for several days.

You could try heating the juice in a warm water bath and shaking to see if it all goes back to looking like it should.

I'm not sure about cherry, but some lemon flavorings are oil based and will never dissolve, but at most this should only be a very thin layer at the top of the bottle. You'd have to shake the hell out of it before using it and it would look cloudy, not clear.

If it really looks like slush I don't think I'd vape it. You should contact the vendor about the issue and ask them to replace it.

Hey mate! I've tried similar flavors from them and have never seen or head of the slush thing -- and even though you're in MN and they may have gotten cold on the porch it should've melted by now.

Would it be possible to see a few pictures?

I wish i could post pictures, the pictures just don't do justice. it honestly looks like a bottle of water that was in the freezer for a bit too long, and looks like there are "chunks" of "ice" but it more looks like if you added some olive oil to water and shook it up. its painful to vape. disappointing.

Definitely contact them - they don't want you to vape juice that is not their top quality product, i'm sure. Sounds nasty, good luck

Just contact them, either on their website with live chat or at 1(877) 565-VAPE. Their customer service is second to none.

Call them, they'll make it right.

I've ordered a lot of e-liquid from them and never had this happen. Sounds strange to me.

I feel you, but if you have them it'd be helpful as I can't think of what would actually be causing it... e.g., it can't be menthol crystals. You're somehow, from every order, getting eliquid that looks like a slushy but only with cherry and lemonade flavors. It might be malic acid crystals somehow seperating... as a last question, have you ever had these flavors from other vendors?

I only buy from mt baker. back in the day i had juice from mad vapes, and the strawberry lemonade was to high nic for me to vape, so i guess i havent tried any other flavors i could stomach from different retailers. it just has a chem/ soap taste and a very weird look. ill get a decent camera, to take pictures of it, i havent figured how to upload pics on mobile, or i would put some on.

That'd be awesome: your cheaper phone camera might work better or show what you're trying to show if the tank/bottle has some light behind it. It's the weird look I'm most curious about, and the ones better at DIY will have a better time seeing exactly what's going on. If they are showing up too small on here, you can also upload them to something like http://imgur.com/ and paste the link.

To post pictures, use the third button from the right in the editor when you are posting. An overlay will appear (you might have to scroll around a bit). tap on the "Choose File" button and your phone/tablet will ask where you want to get the picture from. Once you select the picture, click on "Upload File(s)" in the overlay.

Hope that wasn't too confusing.
