OOPS!!! I am sooo sorry Rossum!! My bad... <sheepishly runs and hides... >
EDIT: and I mean the runs and hides! you are generous to make this happen and I think it will help us DIYers. My sincere apologies.

I would love to join the blind test. You would have to send the samples to Europe though. Would happily pay for that, but USPS would delay my results by two weeks or so..
I'm willing to participate in the test as well but given my nic level is only 10mg, I have to wonder how much of a difference I will be able to perceive regardless of vendor. I'm curious to find out nonetheless. 
I still use 14 - 16mg nic and I can even taste it in unflavored nic base at 6mg. What all does this involve? I should admit I am a super taster.
If my life wasn't so chaotic I would participate.
I am looking forward to the results of this test!!

Oh, there are ways to get it there quickly, but they're expensive, and I'm not shipping 100mg/ml samples to Europe, sorry.

I'll leave this open until the end of the day tomorrow or until we reach 10 people.
I'd be interested in doing the blind test. I'm currently at 12mg and moving my flavoring percentages down, so the nic flavor and bite are becoming more of what I'm getting. I'm still working through my remaining WL Ice and am getting ready to jump into something new, so this would be useful for me as well!

I'll see if I can work up a form to plug in observations in some format to make for uniform reporting,. Rossum, I'll work with you to hammer out the details, including 'how' the reporting is handled. I'm not yet sure when I'll get on this, but it shouldn't be long.
Over 2 litres of US bases up to 200mg/ml in my freezer without breaking any laws, but it's your call, no problem. I'm very interested in the results though. Very good initiative!
Cost isn't really an issue, but I don't want to deal with international shipping. Apologies to those of you outside the US.

There was another expressing interest a few pages back I think
Nicotine Comparisons
I'd be willing to try, but I may the opposite of a super taster, I don't find that much difference in the brands of nic I've been using. My current ADV vape is 6mg 70%pg with about 3% menthol. I also vape unflavored occasionally. I have about 15ml of wizard ice left, it's been at room temperature for a year though.
I've mostly been using VT "throat hit" lately, tried their premium last year and thought it was too bland.
[EDIT] Actually, my "stealth vape" is 24mg 80%PG unflavored on a cartomizer/ego setup. I could use that setup for taste testing. Just can't vape too much at one time, about 8 puffs and I'm done for an hour.

I see VT lists their premium nic as Chemnovatic now. Did they switch or is that what they were selling last year without disclosing the manufacturer?
I didn't think I was a good taster until I spent some time doing this. When you drop the flavors and take a few nics in comparison and stick to it for a while, you're sensitivity goes from 1 to 10 quite rapidly, seriously, no BS! It just takes time and repetition. Pleasant side effect for me was I no longer cared for flavors except as a once in a while thing.
I can believe that. When I started making my current mix, I was using 10% menthol. Over time, I've discovered I like it at lower and lower concentrations (very same bottle of flavoring). Now I think 10% is gross and the last batch at 3% is great.
I'm also using up the last bits of my vendor liquids, using them as if they were concentrated flavorings, a few drops in a tank.
