Nah. If Vulcans are doing it regularly, then it's totally Vulcan. Like I said, you can't trust Vulcan Propaganda Ministry.
It used to be that Vulcans could not lie, now they lie all the time. Next thing we know Vulcans are the real authors of the rules of acquisitions.
Hilarious, when you realize the Vulcan who supported that claim ( by a non Vulcan) was in the middle of big old deception at the time. "Vulcans do not lie", truely one of the VPM's best disinformation campaigns.
Vulcans are known traders, often dealing in Kevas and Trillium. I'm sure they are familiar with the art of the deal. A Ferengi merchant had better be on his toes when dealing with a Vulcan.
Context is always important. Look beyond the words.
I believe there is an episode of ENT when someone trusted T'Pol because he thought that she was a sybarite... er, Syrrannite.
Only a Vulcan could sell to a Ferengi and still make a profit.
Quark made honest deals, sometimes.
There are three notable instances of Spock lying in the TOS movies, probably more that weren't highlighted. Spock always gives a "logical" explanation: "I exaggerated", it was merely "an omission", or even "an error", which is obviously a lie in itself.
Wherever logic goes, sophistry follows close behind.

There are notable differences between the old Spock and the new one.
Aren't all of those "Old Spock"?
Sorry, for some reason I thought it was made reference to the lies of nu Spock.
Some old Spock lies from TOS
Errand of Mercy: Spock pretends to be a Vulcan merchant.
The Menagerie: Spock tells a crewman he has the clearance to be in a restricted area. Spock creates false orders to take the ship to the Talos System. He brings McCoy back to the ship under the pretense of a medical emergency. Tells the crew that Starbase Command has assigned Captain Kirk medical rest leave
Enterprise Incident: Spock supports the lie that Kirk has gone insane. He convinces the Romulan Commander he's willing to betray the Federation

In each case, he had serious and extreme reasons for lying. That definitely makes him much less of a liar than the average human.
Vulcan's are honest in the same way most people are. When we're being lied to, it's unusual enough where we either suspect it, or realise it at a later time, because it's relatively unusual. And the reason why most people are honest is because, for the most part, our interactions are very superficial. We're not sharing the secrets of our souls, or anything and there's nothing really to be gained by it. It's the distance that keeps us honest. With Vulcans, that distance is doubly so, but the capability to lie is always there, just like their emotions are always there.
Nu Spock is definitely more emotional than the old one.
That's affirm. If NuSpock were to shout out, in absolute panic at their disappearance, "THE WOMEN!!!" it's to be expected ...
The women? I don't get it.
