Flaxseed Oil

[smifee]

I looked at the Bluestar site when checking prices for Nic in VG. They were cheap but definitely a dodgy site as they sell cannabis eliquid.

Last week a 'mysterious' new member signed on at 0400 and posted about how good Bluestar Nic was and claimed he had tested another vendor's Nic and found it well below strength. Then he claimed Bluestar Nic labelled at 72mg was in fact 80mg.

Definitely a company to avoid.

I originally thought they were ok - they have quite a lot of likes on FB not that that means anything.... But also to be fair out of the 3 samples I bought only the coconut specifies flaxseed oil the others "herbal extract" and "approved flavourings"

no they don't appear to be - I only bought 10ml sizes to see if I would like it as they also do 100ml bottles and larger....

So it says it on the bottle? Could we get a photo?

Not to hassle you, but if this it what they're doing it should be made clear to people.

nem have you contacted them to ask why there is flaxseed oil in the e-liquid and perhaps a link to lipid pneumonia ?

Can I suggest contacting ECCA as they are sure to be interested.

BLUE STAR?

Oh no. Risky Chinese liquid sold on ebay as "UK".... which it's not.

The site says they manufacture themselves and they're based in Bolton... which I don't believe

Nope. When I looked into them last year, they were knocking out liquid from a warehouse near Heathrow.

barrynorton here you go sorry it's a bit on the large side - I've also just noticed that it also contains Safflower Oil whatever that is....

I haven't yet Karma but I will especially now I see that it also has another type of oil in it....

They may have misspelled sunflower oil either way it shouldn't be in an eliquid.

I don't know what should be done, but am I the only person who finds this alarming. With a price of £9:99 for 10 bottles this may find it's way to a lot of B&M stores and market stalls. An outbreak of lipid pneumonia would be awful.

They are already out there so to speak.

"My local market stall sells their eliquid and it was nasty, very artificial tasting. I don't know what their unflavoured base is like (didn't know they even did it) but if their flavoured stuff is anything to go for I'd avoid. "
