Nicotine 72mg - smell

[sammy13]

I have been using pre-mixed base 18mg which is clear and odourless.

I have just opened my new bottle of 72mg vg nic base and the smell hit me, not particulary unpleasant but quite a strong smell.
Is this normal?

Quite normal

[sammy13]

Oooh that's a relief, I have had it in a cool dark place waiting to decant it into glass, still all taped up so knew I had done nothing wrong, just got quite a shock when the smell hit me, I may be odd but it smells a bit like erm dried food that you give to rodents and bunnies.

mine does not smell - it's the one of vaper's emporium

Oh same as Clivia but hers has no smell

makes me think now too - and my sense of smell, which was never that bad has improved since I quit the stinkies - maybe it's to do with the quantity - I have bought the 100ml bottle sammy13

I wouldn't have said my sense of smell was too good, but I am getting a strong smell.
Mine wasn't from vapers it was from chefs, but yours and steves are from the same place.

[Clivia]

yes that 's what made me think sammy13 - Steve (VapeStorm) - does your's always smell ?

but I have read here before that nic bases could smell

[enjay]

I've got PG nic base and VG nic base here from two separate suppliers and they both have a smell to them. I think it's completely normal. I also think you'll find the smell will fade over time too.

I'm using nic base 100% PG 72mg from a 500ml bottle I bought before Christmas. It smelled quite strongly when I first opened it, but now it is almost odourless. Maybe the initial chemical smell reduces just like a mixed juice does after steeping?

I'm guessing you can not smell or taste it in any juice that you make?

[chykensa]

Not with the juice - there is that slight peppery, curry smell from juice 'exhaust' which you get from any e-liquid!
