Nic Content from Different Vendors

[Religion]

I have purchased 24mg juice from a handful of vendors and loved them all.
(I need to find one of those analog free counters for my signature.)
I just tried a new vendor and the 24mg juices all have everclear/turpentine TH and I am bouncing off the walls after just a few puffs.
I plan on mixing in PG/VG to drop the nic content after my arms stop gyrating (I'm kidding, kinda).

Anyone else have a similar problem with Nic doses between vendors?
Also, why the turpentine flavor? Is that what nicotine tastes like?

You might be better off to get a lower nicotine level of the same juice and mix them together.

By adding PG or VG you will reduce the nicotine content but you'll probably also dilute the flavor. If it's mostly PG it is more harsh than if it's PG/VG. At least that's been my experience. You can try adding a little PG, but I didn't have great success when I tried doing that.

But give it a shot if you can't vape it.

different grades of Nic, if it smells that bad then it usually is, some vendors use a very high grade 99.7-99.9 Nic to make there juice and it's great, I've had others I've tried that taste like batt piss, so it does make a difference. You may also have gotten a mix of Nic that is higher than what you ordered and there was a mistake and this could give yo a bit of a Nic buzz, or labeled wrong, ifyour getting any headaches or feeling a little nauseous, or it could be to high of a mix or even the opposite and a bad nic, try cutting it with some VG/PG and also add some of the flavoring to it if you have that flavoring, or order another bottle of a lower MG in the same flavor and mix them

That happened to me but it was completely my fault. I couldn't understand what was wrong with the juice and looked at the bottle and it was 30 mg. 100%PG. Then I looked at the invoice and that's what I ordered. I messed up the little drop down menu. Good thing it was a sample size bottle.

Thanks. I had only heard great things about the vendor. Organic juices even! I don't have any flavouring, but I think the flavour may be too strong as well. So I'm just going to try adding some VG. I'll let you know what happens.
I tried some of my other brands and they're fine. These ones have a great base taste but they just feel like breathing in fire-lit Everclear. Maybe some of you 36mg hardcores like that? Maybe my Nic needs are just decreasing after my first month? Do I just need to let these new juices "breathe"?

Yeah I have messed up ordering too, but I messed up the PG/VG picking the opposite of what I wanted.

I bought 18mg juices from at least a dozen vendors and never had any problems like you are describing. If it's really nasty ask the vendor. You may have juices that need steeping if they are perfumey or flowery. Some vendors make very peppery tobaccos. Some do add TH additives - gin, Qhit, pepper juice.

I suggest let them steep a bit -- I had some organics that I was sure I wouldn't ever like---2-3 weeks later a completely different story.

Interesting. I better be careful if I'm driving with Gin on my breath. LOL
I'll let them steep... tik tok tik tok

So apparently this "steeping/resting/breathing" thing is real. I took off the bottle caps and let them all sit for over 24 hours under a fan. Now they are the best tasting juices I have ever had. That crazy Everclear flavor went away, the TH is normal, and the flavors all shine through.

Wow, 3 months... I still feel like a newbie. Funny to see what I was asking when I was just getting started
