Darkstar Nic Batch No. 72067

[car147]

Hi


I noticed on another forum folk complaining about the Nicotine they recently purchased from Darkstar, when I checked the batch number with a recent 500ml bottle I bought they are the same batch. I decided to open it despite it coming in a 500ml Amber glass bottle and I have to say the smell coming from it is really bad, I have contacted Darkstar and await their reply.

Other  batches I purchased  ( 5ltrs) from them  are good, clear and no nasty smell, these were  1litre bottles which are all fine, there's just something not right with this recent purchase, probably worth checking your own.

Cheers
I'm so gutted to hear this

How can I tell what batch it's from?
I've looked at my order history to no avail

Same here jtc, mines all split up into little 100ml bottles in the freezer so if it's bad it's bad and nowt I can do about it now, I didn't notice any bad smell coming from any of mine when I re-bottled it, no more than my other suppliers stuff

On the label, the stuff I got a few weeks ago was 72067 £238 will have to let one warm up and check.

Annnnd take a deep breath

I didn't notice any bad smell when I decanted mine, they were purchased in September/October/November 2016 , buuuut I've only just finished the first amber bottle of nicotine I bought in the AAEC group buy...December 2015!

Last years Darkstar purchases are at the back of the freezer. Wasn't exactly planning on opening them anytime soon.

EDIT; absolutely no idea what the batch number was.......but it was VG

Maybe I was just unlucky and yours are ok, but there are others over on POTV saying there's is harsh when vaping and smell coming from that same batch is very strong. This then made me go and check mine which turned out to be the same batch number in the thread title. Opened and instantly uuurrrggghh! Never smelt Nic base smell like this.

A bit disappointed at Darkstars reply so far, questioning how I store it? Sent the reply back that all my Nic base is stored in Amber glass bottles I a dedicated freezer, No reply since.

others say their's smells fine , just a heads up and do hope others are fine,

All my other 1ltr bottles from Darkstar are spot on, my issues only with the 500ml bottle purchased a few weeks ago

Mine is in there bottles and put in a freezer bought new for that purpose on the day the nic arrived, I will not try and open it until tomorrow evening it needs to get to room temp to avoid condensation and I will not have time in the morning.

You can tell as soon as you remove the cap m8, the smells pungent so I would say your fine. What I don't understand is how some can be OK?
