Has anyone had this happen, or am I the only lucky one?

This was my epic-fail repository for batches I couldn’t salvage, so I’m guessing I just nailed the ‘right’ combination of flavours for them to react

Has the bottle melted??

It sort of looks like it has started to crystallize… Gentle heat (put the bottle it warm water) and a lot of shaking and it’s probably fine :slight_smile:

Thanks for your replies :slight_smile:

This is after warm and shake, then in desperation 2% DW (warm and shake), then 5% PGA (warm and shake). Ended up blocking my 30ml bottle tips so it’s gone to vape-hell (down the sink)

Cleaning the bottles I discovered the residue is very much like candle-wax shavings, is not water-soluble and could only be removed with soap and HOT water…

Mental note - don’t mix TPA double choc clear, banana, menthol, yellow cake, cubano, turkish, coconut candy, and strawberry…

My last epic-fail repository turned out delicious (all vaped alas…) I was hoping Epic-Fail V2 would be too, but it wasn’t meant to be :frowning:

Acetyl Pyrazine does this if it gets too cold, warm and shake warm and shake 🖒

I discovered that the hard way. As well as several syringes, I had a plastic mixing flask that died before I made the connection with ripe banana. Eventually used it to bake cookies with, and then my hands smelled of cloves the whole day, so I threw the rest of the bottle away :smile:

Are you sure you’re mixing e-liquid? I’m looking to see if there are some Lithium pieces floating in there…

yellow cake 2
cubano 1
turkish 1
coconut candy 1
strawberry 1

Holy cow, that is a lot of flavor.

Yeah, a mix of 3 ‘fails’ - a choc banana, a cigar with a hint of menthol which needed sweetening (yellow cake), and a strawberry coconut. Incidentally I’ve managed to make all 3 work :slight_smile:
