my juice........my juice is jacked. WT................#?
One day it's decent the next not so good. Thought it was me. Thought I mixed something incorrectly. mixed again. Nope. Tried different recipes. Freak. Bakery......fruity.......bad. Worse the next day. Narrowed down to nic.
Have had this LITER since Christmas. I keep it stored in freezer. Never had this happen. Seems it went bad in juices on shelf too. Is there an expiration?
Nic is from Nicotine River. I didn't shake, I didn't put in glass bottles. Froze it in plastic bottle the way it came. Would take out and use what I need and put back. its 100% VG.

I'm new at DIY, but I shake the hell out of the nic prior to use.

How much is gone from the bottle now?
Did you notice this when you first got it?

After using NIC from a larger bottle, more and more air gets inside the bottle.
This can cause nasty taste.
Why we shake the mix before using is the NIC can settle to the bottom, (separate) from the VG somewhat.
NIC strength becomes weaker at the top and stronger at the bottom for example.
It's why I use PG/NIC due to lesser effect of separation and thinner is easier to mix with.
Splitting up into smaller bottles and just keeping out 30-60ml for mixing won't expose the whole batch to air
every time you open it to mix juice.

Yeah got to give NIC in vg a good shake or you get hot spots, try a quick mix just vg Pg and NIC, so you can rule out the flavours

Nic from India oxidizes faster in my experience. Never did enjoy the taste, even when it was fresh.

I've been using NicSelect nicotene from NR for about 8 months now from the same 1 liter bottle keeping it in the freezer, taking it out letting it come to room temp, shaking the hell out of it, using what I need and putting it back in the freezer. It's just as good now as the day I got it.

I agree with @Heabob. The nic separated from the VG. A good shaking may very well fix it.

You have got to shake nic or you could have some nasty nic concentration consequences!
