Any way to test nicotine content at home?

[Traijan]

Hey,

So I'm used to vaping on a liquid called Mato Laeo (12mg Nic) on my Subtank with a .5 to .7 Ohm coil Never bothered me.


Well the store ran out so I went to another store and bought something called Tug Sauce Creamy Nibbles in 12mg Nic.


Well, the difference is night and day. With the Mato Laeo I can vape on 15w for 7 to 9 seconds full straight to lung. I feel nothing in my throat at all. But with the tug sauce I can only do about 1 to 2 seconds straight to lung at about 12w.


So, this got me thinking and wondering if the Mato Laeo has any nicotine in it at all since everybody I talked to said that when you go to sub-ohm you pretty much have to cut down on the nicotine level, but I didn't on the Mato Laeo and it never bothered me, but with the Tug Sauce it makes me cough terribly.


So, I'd kind of like to test the Mato Laeo that I have left in the bottle to see if it's truly 12mg Nic or not. Is there a way to do that at home or would it have to be sent out for chemical analysis?

Thanks

You can buy a nicotine testing kit. I've never used one even though it's recommended for diy-ing your own juice.

It's also good to have around if you have really old juice that may need checked.

You can buy a nicotine test kit at Wizard Labs.

They seem to be currently out of stock, but you could probably use something like this (disclaimer: I've never used such an item): Nicotine Test Kit

There are other places with this same kit, check with your usual supplier, but this place just came to mind as a quick answer to your question.

Not familiar with the 2 juices mentioned, but it could be a difference in PG/VG content.... High PG tends to have a harshness to it....Compared to a High VG juice .... Nic content the same...

That explains it.... I thought both were 50/50 PG/VG but it turns out that the Mata Leao (jiu jit juice) is actually 15/85 PG/VG which is why it's so smooth at 12mg Nic on the sub-ohm.

Thanks
