Chihuly was who/what first came to mind, the cactus threw me off so then I was wondering Flying Spaghetti Monster p'raps?

Sad business that, eh Banana?!
Affirmative 100ml of it and 30ml of the sweet, I had one more, 10mml bottle but I dumped it in a plastic bag, filled it with dirt and threw it out, I needed the bottle.

Shame that's still coming through as an issue. The potential market is bigger than the current vendors combined could currently service, so there's no reason to wish them ill. I'd recommend a re-engineering of their process but with my vendor association firmly locked with Aroma, I'm unable to offer any assistance (nor do I think they'd ultimately need it). I believe they will overcome this issue (in chemistry, there are probably a dozen different ways to accomplish anything), but it'll likely turn out to be a more difficult undertaking than they're hoping for.

And if there is indeed a following as you say Banana.... well good for em' in having found what works for em'! shudder

I just pitched mine in the bin, didn't occur to me to do the dirt ritual, LOL

With the way that Jerry has managed to increase his production while maintaining quality, I'd think some of that potential market you speak of will be pleased DVap.

WOW....save your bottles and your juice.

I'm trying to come up with a trade in program.

I know right, when I originally got my order I PM'd a guy that post there all of the time, he said his did have a smell but not one he'd characterize as a chemical smell. That of course made me think that it was a bad batch. I used analogs for a long time, but even I can smell that. Another gal posted the same thing. I don't get it. I was never even able to bring myself to try the unflavored, only the sweet, now I can't vape EM or cotton candy because my brain associates the two smells.

I wish them the best, seems they are heading in a different direction and away from online sales or something based on the last post read. Overwhelmed maybe by the current issues.

I finally got around to trying out my replacement bottle that they sent me. :?:

Mixed 1 parts WTA 38mg to 7 parts great flavored e-juice.

While it doesn't have the same nasty chemical odor, unfortunately it still is a vastly inferior product.

It leaves a very noticeable chemical taste when vaped. I really hoped this was a fluke with the first bottle but I will not be using this again, or purchasing it again. It is like you are getting solvent.

I never receive this type of taste or experience from Aroma's product. The previous DIY, and the new VS are delightful to mix with any juice, or vape directly.

This product is intended for mixing only because it is a higher MG dosage, but if diluted down with VG/PG I believe it would be un-vapable due to the nasty chemical solvent taste. It already makes top notch juices dreadful when mixed at a low percentage, I can only imagine how bad it would taste watered down with no flavoring!

I am starting to wonder if I am just being picky, or if there is actually nasty stuff in this WTA that shouldn't be vaped!

Blech,tried it again. Many because one of my tanks is filled with a mix of one of my favorite juice, and this swill, and I haven't been home yet to empty the tank, wash wash wash, put a new carto in, and refill. Yup, I am not being biased, it is nasty, taste like chemicals. This stuff is gross.

I guess I am falling into the definition of insanity, repeating the same thing over and over, but expecting different results.

It tastes like was a Swoodie must taste like.

Don't know if there is anything in there that could be considered harmful but I do know you're not being picky with regards to the taste.
Icky, plain ol' icky!

I apologize for putting another supplier's quote in here, Jerry. Freefall doug, the bolded portion of the below quote is relevant to your issue.

It's been a difficult few weeks, no doubt. But I am working hard to resolve all the issues we've had, from solvent recollection to shipping and bottling. ...[snip]...
Just say no to vaping solvent!
