ND Phenylpiracetam Quality Concerns ( Smell & Texture )
Original post in this thread

I have taken Phenylpiracetam for over 7 months daily & for years prior to that on weekends. I do not use capsules and always weight my dose out with a mg scale. I have used various brands of Phenylpiracetam powder and found one in particular that stands out amongst the rest. It has a very bitter taste but the smell is not offensive. I recently opened a 30 gram tub of nootropics depot phenylpiracetam and was blown away at how strongly it smelled off chemicals. It smells like toxic plastic. I also noticed an obvious difference in the way the powder looks in comparison to the one brand that I used prior which did not harbor this smell. The effects are also drastically different.
I am not here to bash ND. I am just a bit concerned. My question to ND is - why does your product have such strong smell in comparison to other brands.

I have been using your phenylpiracetam for the past 10 months. I started with capsules, which had no smell (probably due to small amount in capsules). I then bought a 30g jar, and this one does have a plastic smell. I didn't worry, as I had read multiple people saying that phenylpiracetam smells like plastic, so I assumed it was normal. It definitely is the phenylpiracetam, as I have other similar jars of other products that don't smell this way.
It works very well. I've had great results with it. It's the most helpful substance I've ever taken. I have never tried any other sources of it, so I can't compare. But I would say yours is good and feels clean. But it does smell like plastic.

Yeah, it has a distinct smell. I personally wouldn't say strong plastic, but everyone describes smells differently. There's nothing in the GC over a smell threshold, though, so it is not a residual solvent.
