...But I have enough VT "Throat Hit" in the freezer, and I still find it to be very nice overall, so I'll happily stick with vaping what I have.

I've not yet sampled VT Throat Hit, but I have some in the freezer. If I stick with my current mode of consumption, I'm a ways out on out on getting to it. I'd be interested in how it stacks up to C.

No one has posted any results for other tested nicotine bases. I'll offer the additional one that I tested.

It is Heartland Vapes. It came from a bottle of 100mg VG base, but was mixed to the same final PG/VG/nic ratio as the others. The source was not fresh as I have had it many months...in the freezer.

My scores were...

Clarity - about that of the least clear provided by Rossum (?)
Odor - 2 (same as the other 4)
Tobacco Flavor - 4 - 1 point below two others
Pepperiness - 2 - Close to the others
Throat Hit - 5 - 1 point below my best choice
Chemical / Other Flavor - 1 - Same as the others
Best Evaluation - 6 - Two points below the best, about the average of the group...for me

The two points lower on Best Overall score were due to a little higher pepperiness and slightly less throat hit.

Heartland Vapes currently offers 120ml of 100mg nicotine base for $15.99 (+shipping) or about $0.13 per milliliter. It is offered in PG, VG or a 50/50 mix.

Heartland Vapes Nic is fine with me.
Thanks for this. I just ordered a liter of Heartland for $44.99 to make juice for family and friends and keep my remaining NN for my own personal stash.

Hi and thanks for the testing.
Has anyone compared the test nic to nicselect or ecigexpress (nicselect).


Yes I have and have a total of 9 nics to give my opinion on soon. The results, in my opinion, is not subjective to the qualities.. Only my personal preference. Th or no th is a straight forward rating.

Oh I think B or VZ is nicselect or very close.

Nicselect is in the top 3 for those loving th and nic flavor.

My notes on these nicotines finished on 7/20 1- 4 with 1 = best/least 4 = worst/most - please note I do not like TH or Pepper of any kind so I like the least noticeable odor,color,flavor.

A - smells very slightly of AP - acetyl pyrazine, darkest color(4),lightest taste(1).
B - very slight chemical smell,next darkest color(3),hard to describe taste(3).
C - no smell(1),clearest color(1),smooth slight tobacco taste(2).
D - no smell gave this a(2)because there should have been some warning!,next clearest color(2),
In my honest opinion - if you do not like lots of taste DO NOT use this nicotine, way too much harshness/pepperyness for me (4). YMMV ;)

So my conclusion is if you like taste in your nic B or D works.:vapor:

I mix tobacco flavoring the most. The "other" flavors are for a few family members Unless they are paying I'm choosing what I like. I'll probably pick up a liter at ecigexpress because its priced right and it goes well in my tobacco flavorings. I don't taste the nic in my other sweet like flavors. I might consider NN or heartland if a sale would occur.

Looking forward to your thoughts on those 9 nic's @JeremyR.

Interesting...that was the way my B was. ...

The nice thing about NN is that they have a 15ml sample of their nicotine for just $2 for the shipping if you do not buy other stuff >>> Nicotine Sample Request - Nude Nicotine so a person can try them without the big cost. :thumb:
I might have to order a sample. Do they take long on sending out the samples? Thanks for the link.

Thanks Dixie, I ordered a sample even though I need more Nic like I need a hole in the head. I was just too curious about NN to resist.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions and saving me some money!! I already tried, and liked, NN and VT (A & C) but was curious about other brands. Now I will just stick with those two.

And another thank you to Dixie ... I like that you picked A for least taste.

For me, color and slight smell do not matter as much as taste ... my DIY all looks and smells yummy when mixed.

I prefer the nicotine adds no taste at all ... as close to mixing with zero nic if possible.

I've not yet sampled VT Throat Hit, but I have some in the freezer. If I stick with my current mode of consumption, I'm a ways out on out on getting to it. I'd be interested in how it stacks up to C.

My current bottle of VT-TH is a year old, and has been open for a while, so it may not be fair to compare against any fresh samples, that's why I don't want to do a formal rating on it. But, I'll say this, I get no pepper, no chemical taste, throat hit similar to C (NN), and more of earthy/tobacco taste, less VG sweetness comes through.
