    Nicotine Comparisons

    Cyrus, Try and find out just how many different 'brands' of nicotine you actually tried. Some vendor sell wholesale. You might not have tested 7 different ones :) Another criteria for mixing comparisons should be to disclose the lot number. I shutter each time I hear "this batch is so much...

    Nicotine Comparisons

    Casey, Ask your vendor. Ask to see test data. Some will provide it, maybe some won't. Look the test reports over for illogical data. I'm sure you've heard the term 'pencil whipped'. Get as comfortable as you can with your nic purchases. Never perfect, just get that 'warm fuzzy feeling'...

    Sorry if it sounded like that. I normally don't go to that much effort when preparing my mixes. 70/30 or 60/40 VG/PG, or ending up with 13mg/ml instead of 12mg/ml really doesn't matter too much to the wife and I. She'll let me know if it needs a tad more Redbull, or I'll spice up the nic...

    WOW, that was a lot of vaping in the name of science :)

    My nic mixes are still not perfectly clear of bubbles yet but I'm going forward. The older nic (left) required 0.8ml (PG) to top off to the 250ml mark, and the newer batch 0.9ml. I drew off 10ml of each for experimentation and will flavor and dilute the remaining 240ml of each. My...

    Water And E-Juice

    That's more water than I use but I think the water feeds the dry VG and helps prevent 'dry mouth'. Since thinning PG based juice would make it too thin maybe the anhydrous PG irritates the mouth and throat. 20% water and VG is fat, wet, and happy :)

    Thanks for the tips John. Must be nice getting to work in a real lab. I have to share mine with the wife. She's taken control of the KLS for now doing chemistry for dinner. Sometimes you just have to make do with what you have, such as a home made pipette clamp and aquarium valve flow...

    I'm retired, and it's Father's day weekend. Everyone here knows better than to ask me to do anything productive :)

    Just mixed up a batch....

    Xaiver, I also mix up a pretty good size batch for the wife and I. This really does save a bunch and is fun to boot :)

    Comparing 2 batches of Nic juice and measurement methods. I've characterized most of my glassware by weighing the glass empty and with distilled water. For my cylinders I weighed at the major divisions, and the volumetric flasks at the reference mark. This is really a little above and beyond...

    Nicotine Comparisons

    I hesitated posting in this thread, but since it has diverged to more of a comparison that a review of RTS I figured I'd jump in. I'll start be saying I haven't, to my knowledge, tried RTS nic juice so nothing I would say about it would be valid. I try and read between the lines...

    Nicotine Comparisons

    All this testing and opinions from nic users should help to keep our vendors on their toes. Yellowing, smell, and taste are the parameters that are the easiest for the home mixologist to compare. Contaminants, oxidation, purity are not something that can be accurately be determined at home...

    Not to sound too .... about this :) but a half empty (or half full) 500ml bottle of nic juice has about 250ml of air space in it. If the bottle is allowed to warm to room temperature (about 22C) before opening, the air will have about 1% by weight of water vapor in it (at about 60%RH). 250 ml...

    or 14mg/ml for me. (I vape between 12 and 13mg/ml) :)

    That's an easy way to do it and no real safety issues with the lower concentration. You keep the unflavored stash in the freezer?

    You calling me a 'Know-it-all'? :) I'm sure that with just a little care, 5% accuracy is easily obtainable. +/-5% of 36mg/ml strength is +/-1.8mg/ml. Someone would probably just be able to notice that. A 5% error when adding 10% flavor (9.5 to 10.5%) would probably be noticeable...

    A is better. Reference to "beaker" threw me. You done good :) at least with accurate measurements you can reduce 'repeat failures' :)
