My first batch (smells like popcorn)

[jimb8b]

He people, ive recently delved into the world of diy liquid and got myself a kit from the alchemists cupord. Now ive got orange capella flavouring which ive mixed at 20%, but rather than smelling, well, orangy it smells a bit like pop corn. Im just wondering if this is normal? I think the nicotine concentrate may be the main culprit as is has got a strong smell to it. Any advice on this would be greeted with thanks and possibly a drawing of a pirate snail.

20% is pretty high m8 capella concentrates usually only need 10/15% ..if the nic has a smell it could indeed be the one to blame .

Nicotine will stink out the bottle. Orange is normally a shit flavour as well.

Give it a good shake and vape, if it tastes 'peppery' the nicotine is shit. If it tastes shit, the concentrate is shit.


Shit.

Where can I get this nicotine that smells of popcorn? Might save a few quid by not buying ethyl maltol ...

Capella Orange should be in the region of 5-10%
Does the concentrate smell like the juice smells?

this is all subjective...but I bought some concentrates once labelled "carmel" which I thought was labelled "caramel".
now I have a few bottles of this, and you are welcome to it if you want (just pay postage), and they stink like popcorn

edit: its decadent vapors "carmel", which is meant to be a take on Camel i think. But if you stuck your hand into a packet of popcorn seeds and then smell it, that is what it smells like.

Very kind offer, appreciate that, but no, you haven't sold it to me ...
I should've put a after the ethyl maltol jibe.

Well a quick update, ive fiven it a go and there is a taste of orange there, but i think it is the nicotine to blame. Its vapeable, but i keep thinking of the puzzled popcorn on the end of the pirate snails sword and it frightens me too much to be able to continue using it. Though for my first attempt its not too bad...

What actually tastes wrong with it?
