Hey everyone,
Long time DIY guy here. I've been doing DIY for a couple of years now and have came up with some pretty nice recipes.
About a year ago, my childhood friend and I decided to start up a premium E-Liquid line. What a journey it has been so far! We have already invested around 7K into start up and other business expenses.
We are now finally in our launch phase and have ran into a big problem. About 3 weeks ago, we mass produced 500 bottles for our startup product to push. For the first 2 weeks the flavor on the product was as intended and tasted amazing. Unfortunately the flavor has really gone down hill this week right before our first sale. The juice doesn't taste right and we really can't figure out why. We obviously can't move it.
We have never had this issue before with smaller batches and bottle by bottle handcrafting. In fact, the flavor on bottles we handcrafted over 6 months ago taste out of this world good now. Nothing has changed, we are using the same ingredients as we always have.
We are obviously missing something. Any help on manufacturing bottles on a higher volume would be greatly appreciated!
I would also like to add that we are sanitizing all over our equipment and manufacturing in as close to ISO7 cleanroom as we can afford right now.
We don't believe this is a contamination issue.
Other possibilities could be our VG and PG supplier or our nicotine, or both. We have always used myfreedomsmokes nicotine which has always been fine for us.
We are going to try to redo the batch next week using NicSelect nicotine, VG and PG which is the same stuff Molecule Labs uses, but we still run the risk of the same thing happening to this run.
If there's any other culprits anyone can think of please let us know!
Aaron
