I should have given an update on my latest order. I ordered from Nic River the same day as DIYEJ and it got here one day after the Nic River stuff. Bonus - they included the most adorable teeny tiny 3ml bottle of RF SC Chocolate. They must have psychics working there because that’s my favorite chocolate but I don’t use it very often. :rofl:

Looks like I"m in the same boat with you guys. DEF. the SBMilkshake and Yumberry. I also ordered the Pineapple, Peach, and Baja. The only one I’ve never had before was the Baja, and it smells OK I guess. ALL of the others, Strawberry Milkshake, Strawberry, Peach, Pineapple, and Yumberry are all OFF. ALL are different shades than my in stock, and they are either much weaker, or don’t smell close to my in stockers. Well shit, had hoped to load up before it was too late, but perhaps that’s already passed. Will contact BCF.

In the pic below are the SBM, and Yumberry. The LEFT bottles are my own in stock, and the RIGHT bottles are the NEW shipments.

Ugh …hate to see that…so it was a RF issue Obviously…i think when I get my second round from NR it will be that same

Thanks @fidalgo_vapes, and outstanding that @Drew1 stepped in, AND, stepped up about this. I can only imagine what kind of complaints they might get on any given day. I mean, it’s not like they’re personally sampling all of these. They buy them in good faith (maybe contractually), re-bottle, shipp’m and here we are.

I did send him a PM, and an email and pictures.

Not bashing, not gas-lighting, but for the record, in my just placed order ALL of the following WERE comprimised:

Strawberry
Strawberry Milkshake
Pineapple
Peach
YumBerry

The only OTHER was Baja, and I’ve never had that one before, so is ?? Smell tested, knuckle tested, and direct A/B compared to my in stock and ALL (save the Baja), were CLEARLY either NOT the same (right), and/or much, MUCH weaker, in so much so that I could barely tell what flavors they were. Seems like this many baddies, something was going on, when RF was closing up shop, AND, that appears TO have been shipped to re-sellers.

That’s odd, the Yumberry I just got from BCF is spot on.

I got a bad 15ml Yumberry from NR though

I know @mjag. If you look up at that pic BOTH of the Yumberry’s were from BCF, the darker is the good one, and purchased 7-19, and the clear one was just purchased which is NOT. Newer batch(es) bad ??

Wanted to thank @Drew1, as we’ve spoken via emails, and he has rectified the situation. Thanks Drew and @BullCityFlavors.

I feel bad for both BCF and NR, it is like Russian roulette with there remaining real flavors stock

Edit: looks like BCF pulled all of the remaining real flavors stock off there website. Was going to buy another bottle of strawberry taffy and MTN juice as I just tested them this morning and there tasty.

Ya @Mjag its a shitty situation for the two companies and @Nicotine_River triea to send new product which i appreciate except its the same situation with both…These companies can at least have a recourse through end of the year inventory claims ( damaged product ) or whatever… It has to be upsetting though since initial cost is gone

I couldn’t agree more, especially in these unusual times.

Edit: Also, Real Flavors has been pulled from our shelves momentarily and most likely indefinitely.

Im sorry this happened to you guys… At about 10pct I get a faint hint of strawberry at least lol…not really funny…proabably a smart move with the RF product

I swear this SM has to be one drop just has to be smfh

Interesting thought.

I also took note of the fact that twice, I didn’t get a reply to “what about One Drop?”.

That would be one way to “manage the losses” of closing a plant, yet still fulfilling (what was then current) distributors orders I guess…
