Okay, time for my mini review
Ive been using NTN only for a week now
Unboxing and first thoughts:
Upon opening the bottle it smells like...well nicotine...though not as pungent as trad nic
Mixing:
I mixed up my first batch thusly (i abandoned adding PG beyond whats in the nic base months ago after 3 dodgy bottles of it, and instead add a little distilled water to thin things out - 5% DW for me works very well in my Lemo 2):
30ml -
3.6ml 100mg NTN 12%
24.9ml VG 83 %
1.5ml Distlled Water 5%
I mixed for 12mg - usually im mixing 14mg, and the distilled water seems to get me to the same strength as 12mg due to dilution, but for this, and because id heard that "synthetic nicotine" wasnt as potent - some people saying only half as potent, i thought why not mix it lower and see if thats what i experience...
I vape in tc mode on a 3mm id 7 wrap 316Lss coil at about 0.67 ohms
Impressions:
Did i find i needed to vape twice as much?: No, if anything i acutally tooted slightly less. But at no point did i feel anything other than satisfied.
Was it as satisfying as trad nic: Yes, i havent had a day where i thoiught i would rather go back to trad nic or found it lacking.
What did it taste like?: Hints of trad nic, though very feint, very much smoother all around. Less variance day to day over a week over trad nic. Even being very pro unflavoured and telling people its mix and go, even unflavoured does benefit from steeping, as in overnight for the juice to mix properly. But after that its possible to get a variance day to day in the taste of unflavoured, even if its slight. There was none of that with NTN, just none. The last tank tasted the same as the first tank. As im known for loving temp control and it giving me the each vape being pretty much identical to the last repeatability, i appreciated this.
How does it feel?: To be on your own?, with no direction home? No seriously, theres not the same nic hit you get from trad nic, its smoother. Did i get any cravings? Any over-niccing? No (i never felt i had to adjust my usage). But there is something different to the way it feels. Even after id first mixed it, when i usually get an extra buzz (and mouth tingle) off the newly mixed nic, i didnt get that from NTN. But it does feel somehow a little different. Its hard to put my finger on, but there is something there. I dont think my home forum mate had a word to describe it either...
Conclusion:
Would i buy it again?: Absolutely, though hopefully it comes down a bit in price by the time i need another bottle
NTN, no downsides in my experience....works for me and i enjoyed giving it a week before i put up a review, i probably could have put this up after day 2 but i wanted to give it a full week
And just in case anyone is wondering, im just an end user, i paid full retail for my NTN, this was not a freebie or paid for review. I have no horse in the race and have no affiliation with Hiliq
