USA liquid nicotine is smelling and tasting extremely weird.
submitted about 9 years ago by SmokeOnThis

Hey guys, I ordered 1000ml of USA liquid nicotine about a week ago. Right when it came in, I added 0.3% to 2 e liquids, shook them up and smelled them and right away I got this overwhelming odor, kind of smelled like plastic or gas or something. I didn't know where it was coming from so I mixed another bottle, smelled it, it smelled fine, then I added the nicotine and there was that overwhelming smell again, it was more potent than the flavorings themselves. So i tried vaping it and it straight up tasted terrible, like there is no way it is even close to being vapeable. Anyways, I called the vendor (I dont want to mention which vendor it was cuz they were great and the other products ive ordered from them have been amazing) and they were super cool about it, sent me a brand new batch. So with the new batch I added it right away to like 5 e liquids I had sitting around (because I was waiting for this nicotine), these smelled fine, there wasn't that overwhelming odor like the last batch. But here I am about 3 days after I got this new batch and this new nicotine is doing the same thing!! Tastes and smells AWFUL! I am shocked! What is going on? Has anyone else got USA liquid nicotine and had this happen? Have you guys gotten USA liquid nicotine and everything turned out totally fine? Ive been looking online for reviews and stuff but no one else seems to have come across this problem except for me lol

What kind of container was it sent in. Most plastic containers should have a recycling number on the bottom that says what kind of plastic it is

I don't think it's necessarily a bad batch. The USA nicotine has a distinct taste. Every batch I've had. And It gets stronger as time passes, but it's always there.

I smelled it before putting it in the e liquid and figured "ok well, the smell will probably go away once in the e juice" but boy was I wrong

Ordered a liter from nicotine river that's made by nicselect and it had that same nasty plasticy odor and taste. Completely ruined multiple bottles of juice. And the vendor never even bothered to respond to multiple emails.

Yea. I emailed them a couple times about an issue I had and couldn't get a response either. :(

Order #7697 back in March... I sent emails asking if anyone ever had issues with an off taste, as I manufacture liquids and was looking at a co packer that uses your nicotine and was told to test it out and it shockingly ruined recipes that are best sellers, turned coils black in a matter of 30ml when usually coils and cotton stay clean and white for 100ml+. Needless to say after that experience and the lack of support I didn't switch.

Understood and I apologize for this. You should receive a email confirmation any minute in regards to the refund. The money should be back in your account in the next 1 - 2 business day. I appreciate you bringing this to light. Have a great weekend!

I've been using NicSelect and specifically from nicotine river for over a year had many different batches and none of them had any issues or problems...I would just like to note that coils turning black or clogging have absolutely nothing to do with nicotine...nicotine is vg or pg whatever you choose+pure nicotine which both are colorless and nicotine might be slightly yellowish if it sits in the light longer than few minutes...but regardless it does not turn your coils black and your wick should not be affected by the quality of nicotine....If your manufacturing liquid you should know that buddy...but regardless...try mixing with 100mg which maybe you already are....100mg nicotine and measure by weight...3mg or under.....and see how that goes...as i said over a year and over 40 liters of juice made and haven't had a problem with the nicotine...keep frozen or a fridge if you use it daily and you should be fine...nicotine is very sensitive to how you store it.

Had the same issue with nicselect from liquid barn, going to be avoiding it from now on, not worth the hassle of wondering if what I'm getting will be usable. Luckily they were nice enough to give me a refund even after sending a replacement that was just as bad. Was completely unusable, I vape 10-12mg and even at 4mg I could taste it over the flavors and the throat hit was unreal.

I had the same issue. Turns out that's just a characteristic of the USA nic. My buddy enjoys it. I can't stand it. I switched to nicselect from liquid barn and have been happy ever since.

I've had a bunch from VapeClarity for a while (I keep it in small bottles in the freezer) and I never had an issue.

I just tried to order nic from Vape Clarity and it says "this store is not accepting payments"... does anyone else get this?

USA Liquid Nicotine is known for having a pungent/earthy smell/taste to it. There aren't a tremendous amount of resellers out there for this reason. I will never push NicSelect on anyone as the best source because everyone has their preference. Between Vapers Tek, Nude Nicotine and Vape Clarity you have some good options out there. My suggestion would for this batch would be to get a refund and don't even try salvaging it. Have a good day my friend!

I wouldnt think that the earthy smell would translate into the taste of the e liquid though... its just crazy
