"Stringy" juice?

[cobalt327]

I just opened a bottle of juice and when I lifted the dropper out, the juice trailed after the tip of the dropper! I have never seen any juice do this. I thought at first there was a hair or something on it but no, it was just juice trailing like a hot glue gun leaving those pesky filaments behind. This isn't a review so I'll withhold the vendor name, but I will say it's from a recent promotion this vendor ran for a 9 bottle sample pack. The flavor is supposed to be a buiscut or cookie, the juice is a light golden color and the juice was presteeped for about 28 days before I got it a week ago.

So my question is, has anyone ran across this before?

That's.... odd. I'd imagine really thick juice could do that though. Though I've never seen it myself. Could be a flavoring they use too. Maybe it's really sticky? I dunno man. Like I said though... odd.

What's the vg/pg ratio?

My thought would be possible mold. I would not use it until after having a serious discussion with the vendor. A lot depends on the vendor's honesty. Business owners often learn from their attorney to never admit guilt for anything that could lead to a law suit. To me, lung damage is not worth the price of a bottle of of e-liquid.

Did you you shake it before you opened it. It could even be a liquid sweetener used in it.

 

[cobalt327]

50/50 ratio.
There is nothing about the appearance that would suggest mold, it's perfectly clear w/no sediment, floating debris or foul odor.
Even the thickest VG doesn't 'string' like this, the strings are there for several seconds before they separate.
The bottle was shaken before the dropper was removed. Same thing with or without shaking.
Juice is at room temp. None of the other juices exhibit this odd behavior.

FWIW I posted the question on their http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...pe-official-sales-thread-15.html#post14933491. I searched but apparently not good enough, else I would have gone there first.

Think of other liquids that are "stringy" (like certain bodily fluids).

I wouldn't want to vape anything like that, and I'm about the strangest person on the forum...

i bought that same 9 bottle package and my juice was NOT like that. does the stringy things appear every time the eyedropper is removed? i would notify vendor about it. i would not vape it.

(makes note - never get a 9 bottle sampler)

That sounds disgusting. Oh man, it's putting bad pictures from the internet back into my head 8-o

 

[WeirdWillie]

Well this just adds another reason why I'll only buy my juices for Nicoticket

 

[cobalt327]

No worries- there's no way in hell this is going to be vaped. The stringiness happens each and every time the dropper is withdrawn from the bottle. And, yes- the mental picture this conjures is pretty disgusting. Still no answer on their "official sales" thread so I emailed them directly. Will post any response I receive.

Just got a pleasant reply from a "CJ", states they will try refrigeration to duplicate the problem and if I would like a replacement for it (or another flavor), that they would send it to me. So that was good to hear.

At this point I think I'll just cut my losses as there has been only one of the six I've tried (seven counting the unvapable bottle) that I would consider buying again. I haven't gotten to Queen’s Cake (cinnamon cake) or Knight’s Cross (vanilla custard). King’s Throne was good although I didn't get much if any tobacco from it and the "rum" is a stretch, but still pretty darned good.

ETA, still no response on the "28 Days Vape Official Sales Thread".
