Snake oil problem

[Deleted]

Got this Wednesday. Should I have left it a while, though they say the juice is pre steeped. Got a 30ml bottle with a 50ml top up. I believe the smaller is steeped longer than the larger bottle. I got 6mg strength as was going to drip it but tried it in a new aero with new coil.

Has anyone experienced throat/lung irritation inhaling this? Is anyone else on here using 6mg strength. I've mixed my own juices for months at 50/50 pgvg though previously have used bought mixes at 70/30 with no reaction. I'm used to aniseed and menthol/koolada, do I detect something like an absinth in this juice?

I thought it was minging.
I could not inhale it.
My ADV is aniseed.
Didn't taste aniseed in snake oil - some kind of citrussy menthol, I thought.
Taste is subjective.
If in the cupboard to try again some time.

    I   had a bad reaction. Throat tickle/irritation, coughing/ difficulty breathing. First time I've had that with any vape. I thought it  may be because  of the extra PG in it compared to what I usually use. I even thought of adding some vg/nic though that would weaken the mix in flavour. I will leave it for a while and see, but can't risk vaping it the way it reacts on me. Or just throw it away.

I'll take it off your hands if you're not getting on with it, I have not tried it yet.

Give me a while to figure out what to do about it.I have an unopened bottle of 50ml 6mg and a dropper bottle of half used 30ml. I will experiment with the opened bottle and if I can't sort something to suit,  you can have the 50ml as you asked first. OK

I bought some about 3 months ago, (got a bottle 0mg and 12mg and combined them to make 6mg)

This stuff really gets to the back of my throat and sends me into an uncontrollable coughing fit, from the first inhale!

I've tried it numerous times since (every time I read someone raving about it!), in various atties etc, I've even tried diluting it with some VG - but it still does it to me every time.

Most if the juices I vape are aniseed/menthol types and I make my own at 80/20 pg/vg, so not sure what causes it.

I really like it, especially as an occasional vape- great throat hit! menthol lemon floats my boat. hehe

it's one that would sell very quickly on classies so it's not money wasted

I got some Snake Oil about 4/5 months ago & loved the smell of it but it made me cough every time i tried it

[ronaldo]

I got a 10ml bottle and couldn't put it down I used it in 3 days

Snake Oil is one of my ADV. Been using it for many months now, and love it! 

(30ml bottles are good to go from receipt, for me, but it does get smoother and richer in flavour as it ages, so maybe leave it for a while and come back in a months time??)

And I think its really smooth . 18mg , very mild throat hit, tastes awesome, I could vape it all day but I save it for the evenings. Just ordered another 100 ml so I don`t run out.

That's exactly what I am getting!!! And I too use aniseed/menthol mixes RA,BJ etc and never had that. It may be there is something in it that just some may show allergy or reaction to. Its a pity as after so much hype I thought I would like it. This has convinced me to stick with mixing my own gear and not having to guess what I am inhaling.

I've stuck some vg in the tank to see if it calms the reaction. but I am sure it wont.

thanks for your feedback

I had the same. Could only take a few vapes before I was coughing a lung up and my chest got really tight.

It's weird. I got a sample and it never had that effect at all. Ordered 50ml and soon as I filled the tank up and vaped I was coughing. Strange.

Bloody lovely stuff though.

Yes initially I loved the smell and unusual unidentifiable flavour. Started coughing like hell early evening, went to bed and woke up with a tight chest, difficulty breathing and had to go downstairs at 3am lay on a settee with a fan on me as I was struggling to breathe. It felt like an asthma attack. Something just didn't agree with me that's in it. I'm sure many are fine with it, but there is something that just didn't agree with me. I have a possible reaction/ allergy to grapefruit juice so I wonder if that's in it. I don't intend to try anymore now. Obviously just in my case, not for me.
