Being a longterm user and enjoyer of the service and products Powdercity has previously provided, it really and deeply saddens me to have to leave this question, and this warning to anyone else with this same batch of Oxiracetam.
Today I received an order of Oxiracetam in the mail! Excited, I opened package, quickly prepared what I needed. Upon opening the sealed Oxiracetam container I was greeted with a strong, solvent, petrochemical smell.
Because I trust this company, and the fine quality products they've previously provided, I decided "oh well, perhaps its a new synthesis".
Placing my measured 500mg out of the scoop and underneath my tongue, I realized my mistake within minutes. Althought it still had the smallest characteristic sugary taste of oxiracetam, my senses were also assaulted with a an almost immediate chemical foulness, somewhere between the taste or pramiracetam, mixed with PRL-8-53, mixed with phenibut, along with the previously mentioned solvent and petrochemical odour.
It dissolved as it should have in my mouth, quite quickly, while also leaving a persistent numbness to my tongue comparable to dental anesthetic, as well as minor chemical burns to the inside…

START UPDATE 1/1/2015
I'm pulling all Oxiracetam product with lots starting with 'TW' as a precaution until the retests come back. Even then, the taste and smell is off for some of the Oxiracetam from this manufacturer. Only some of the bags I pulled had this smell, so it may have been isolated to the bottom or top of the barrel.
If anyone has Oxiracetam from lots starting with 'TW', you can contact [email protected] for a refund. We are getting 50KG from a different supplier, but it won't arrive and be tested until the end of January at the earliest.
From now on, we'll be doing taste and smell tests in addition to the usual HPLC testing to catch issues like this in the future.
END UPDATE 1/1/2015
Here's the lab test for lot #TW140920
We have a 500g bag in the office from the same batch.
I put 500mg under my tongue for a few minutes to see if I experienced the same effect. So far, I don't have any burns or numbness.
UPDATE: Still no numbness or burns one day later.
But I have to say that the smell and taste isn't like the usual oxiracetam. It does have a strong chemical smell.
With positive testing, this makes me wonder if something happened during the packaging process or if something was affected during the synthesis that didn't change the end result as far as chemical structure, but g…

That's pretty metal going right for the 500mg test! \m/
