Replacement nicotine is the same.
submitted over 4 years ago by armedvapor

Does anyone have a list of vendors still shipping nic? If any at all. I received my replacement from nicotine river today and it too is bad. It has nice color to it but has that same horrid smell and taste. So now I have a total of 9 1/2 litters of shit nicotine to get rid of. I really hope they refund me or this is going to be an expensive loss.

Damn man I'm so sorry that happened, I'm grateful that I ordered 99% of mine from LNW before they stopped shipping, the only reason I picked up a liter from them is because of the st pattys sale and I figured one more liter for $50 why not? It def has a smell too it, don't have any pg or vg to do a taste test on it at the moment (spent all my extra cash on hardware and nic). I'm hoping maybe to mask it with something deep and complex that takes a long steep.

Same here Ill really have to do some looking to find anything I actually would enjoy vaping. I feel for you and everyone else who got caught up in this bullshit 🙏 for what it's worth my state is in the first round of the approved alternate shipping that myvpro and eightvape and a few others are using, shoot me a message if you need something and I'm sure we could figure something out 👍

Oh for sure... honestly I feel so bad for the shit that people are going though... it almost feels like a exit scam from River supply..

I still have a hard time believing it was done on purpose. Hopefully it was an issue that they can resolve. I ordered a bunch of other stuff from them and everything is top notch quality. Especially thier c.b.d.

Mine was 250 base from the same batch, same dark color but I'm unsure about the smell... I've smelled it a couple of times and been like, yep that's bad, and a couple other times I've smelled it and been like, no it's fine. This isn't my first rodeo so I know what nic should smell like, and while it's not exactly like the smell of my other orders, it's also not like "in your face" bad. I'm going to some flavorless juice with it later on and I guess make the final decision from that... Have you done this yet?

Also not my first time as well...I made a unflavored test at 20/80 6mg and I feel like there was something there that wasn't right but not anything like other people were saying. My nic smelled "nutty" almost like an almond.

Interesting... The closest I could describe with mine was like a "corn chip" smell 🤔... If it ends up being tolerable then I'll probably end up using it, tbh. I really don't want to waste this stuff, unless I can get some more from somewhere else.

Mine is the same way. I was supposed to receive a replacement for 100mg PG salts and they sent me regular free base.

The salts are the same way.

I too got a bad gallon. (100mg, pg) make sure you call them and don’t leave a message. Call until you get a human. They’ll have you send a pic of the nic itself and a batch number. Just be nice and cordial. They were really good about it in my case at least. Full refund. Trust me it sucks, I’d rather not have to do this and usually avoid complaining at all costs unless I absolutely need to. This is one of those cases. Crazy times.

As for suppliers, nicotine giant is cheaper and quicker. Got my shipment from them today and as far as smell goes it’s much better. Bout to mix some up to see, I’ll report back. Came from SC to CA in 2 days so can’t complain.

Also ordered from Carolina Xtracts. Arguably higher quality, but way more expensive and a longer processing time (3 weeks if you’re ordering PG based….for your tinctures and pesticides of course.)

Either way don’t go through myfreedomsmokes…I’ve heard mostly bad things.

Good luck.

Did you happen to try your nic from nic giant? I was thinking about placing an order? My nic river is coming today (my replacement) and if it’s bad I’m gonna try that place? Do you think it’s worth it?

3 points
 
by Forever_Nocturnalover 4 years ago

Absolutely. At least in my experience, anyway. The nic is crystal clear, super faint odor, and I mixed up a bottle last night that I’m vaping currently (11mg mtl) and I’ve got no complaints!

They even drew me a super cool picture on the packing receipt lol

Yes definitely don't have an attitude while working with any customer service. It gets you nowhere. The support was very quick and amazing with river supply. They refunded me for all of my nic. I'll still be buying vg and cbd from them. I placed an order with nicotine giant last night and its scheduled for delivery on Monday. I've never used them before but thats faster than I've ever received a nic order before the rush. I'm confident it will be good.

by Forever_Nocturnalover 4 years ago

I am confident as well! It was a great experience for me and I have zero complaints. I was a bit concerned about how far it had to travel, but was pleasantly surprised when it did so. Their site UI can use a bit of an update, but that’s neither here nor there especially considering current circumstances. All in all I’m extremely happy with NG.

Carolina is a superior vendor (ordered from them for years now) but their current delay inspired me to order 1L from them and 1L from NG (which I knew would arrive quicker). Desperate times. In the end I’m paying the same amount for 2liters that I was for 3.75 through river supply but ya know what, I’m honestly not mad about it. 2 liters is going to last me long enough to either quit vaping all together or figure out another plan.

As for customer service? I agree completely. Being “that customer” rarely gets you anywhere. Ya catch more flies with honey, right?

I got 2 liters of nic through my freedom smokes, what have you heard bad??? The nic is just fine to me

2 points
 
by Forever_Nocturnalover 4 years ago

That’s good! The thing that steered me away the most I heard was people getting amber colored nic and not being offered a refund or replacement. Especially during these times where most are buying larger amounts that scares me lol

The law doesnt say nicotine can't be shipped. Nicotine has many other uses aside from vaping, if flavors and vg/pg are fine nic should be too. The law is the definition of vague. It doesn't specify anything really and just covers anything and everthing, it's all about intent, it's ridiculous. That will be carolina's argument when it goes to court and we'll see what happens.

I received my 100mg freebase replacements from them today as well. One of them had the same batch number as my original shit ones. The other one was different but just as bad. Color was crystal but had the same earthy mushroom smell. Tried samples from both with and without flavoring......nasty. Customer service was great but the only option was a refund. Luckly all my 250mg was perfect from them. Just praying my liters from Nude Nic make it in without issues.

Just got a 500ml from Nude and it showed up in good shape. Taste test gave me nothing "off" and it was clear. Now it's in glass in the freezer.

Good news to hear, I'm still waiting for tracking from them. Praying they're able to get it out and not do a refund.

Nude said they are shipping all of thier orders so you should be good.

What is your new batch number? Mine is 03312021 02 pg and it has a strong chemical smell but it tastes fine. Just curious.

One was 3182021 and the other was 03202021 from what I remember off the top of my head. I have them wrote down at home and can let you know for sure.

Nicotine giant is still shipping. I just got some from them the other day and it was good stuff, no bad taste and crystal clear.

Thats re assuring!! I got an order in today. How long did they take to ship?

by HatefullMasochistover 4 years ago

They had mine shipped out in less than 24 hours. It was at my door 3 or 4 days after I ordered it.

Same situation myself. I have 5 liters of garbage. Lol unreal. 1 of the liters is tolerable though...

This sub really cannot make up its mind. Took advice to get river supply co nic instead of nude nic because the "customer service sucks" yet people are having the exact same fucking issues here.

1 points
 
by armedvaporover 4 years ago

I think the mad rush of end times buying created a lot of issues that were not normal. Nobody in this sub would purposely guide someone the wrong way. This really is a great community.

I know they wouldn't purposely guide someone to do the wrong thing, but like the old mountain saying goes, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". I do genuinely appreciate this community as it's super tight knit and what needs to be known gets spread real fast, but misinformation goes just as quick sometimes. Realistically tho, that's any community and I'm just jaded cause I wasted 50+ dollars on shitty nicotine

Just received my replacements, haven't opened them yet, but they are dated older than the ones I got two weeks ago. I think I already know how this is going to turn out.

You never know it could be ok. Good luck. Let us know what the verdict is.

That really sucks dude. What MG did you order? I got a undisclosed MG we aren't gonna mention and have yet to Crack it being I want to use up the rest of my 100mg. Hoping the bad batches are all from stuff they diluted.

3 points
 
by armedvaporover 4 years ago

Its 100mg. Its a fresh batch. And I ordered some salts and they have the same issue so I'm thinking it is the p.g. used to dilute it.

I got some 100mg and it stright smells like fish....they wouldn't replace it said it's to late which is bs cause I ordered it 11th of last month and got it monday.....100mg vg nic river

3 points
 
by NorFlaover 4 years ago

Fish smell is potentially from the glycol used to dilute it. Incomplete processing when it was manufactured. Have seen it in industrial glycols.

Did anyone who received a replacement from river supply get a good batch?

2 points
 
by MistyBlue1982over 4 years ago

Mine is good. It tastes fine and totally different, in my opinion, than the first order. Batch number is 03312021-02 pg. Smelled very strong but tasted perfectly fine to me when I mixed up a tester, no flavors in it. So relieved!!
