i picked up a new juice today at the vape shop, its called Drip eliquid Total tobacco. im wondering if they put something else in the bottle by mistake because it looks, smells, and tastes like straight motor oil. and its so dark its pretty much black. ive vaped about 0.1 ml of it so far and i dont feel sick or anything but it doesnt taste like tobacco at all so im kinda worried. anyone else try this one?

Leave the cap off for about 12 hours. Then recap it and run it under the sink under warm-hot water, cool...repeat three times.
This should help speed up the "steep" which could be the issue, some juices that are kind of rough at first can become real gems with steeping.
If that doesn't work, you may need to cap it and put it in a dark place for a week or two to let the juice steep "in time".

The first time I ever tried a Weiss beer I thought it tasted like shoe polish. Over time I ended up loving Weiss beer and can't figure out why it tasted so bad when I first tried it. Maybe it's the same with your juice. Give it a chance and it may become your all time vape. If not, just don't buy it again. Not all flavors are for everyone.

What made you want to buy it? If it looked and smelled that bad, I'd certainly want to sample it before purchasing. Did you get to test the flavor in-store?

10.75 for 20 ml was the best deal they had and i was out of juice, and they dont let people sample them. its a combination smoke shop/vape shop and most of their customers come in for smokes so theyre not all the way into the vaping part, i suspect thats why. i was just looking for something cheap to hold me til my RY4 arrives

Classic symptom of using too much tobacco absolute (and/or naturally extracted tobacco) in a mix. A dead giveaway would be if the liquid separates or forms a ring around the inside of the bottle. Although separation can be considered normal for any TA-based liquid, too much TA can have a sickly, nauseating effect. Since TA and NETs are extracted from real tobacco, bet thats where they get the pseudo "organic" label.
