haven't tried it. the sample isn't a bad price but the liters are very expensive. Would love to know what you think of it if you do order. And what other nicotines you have tried sort of as a reference

It's been a few years since I've done any DIY. Just got tired of buying old mass produced juice.

it's gotten some positive reviews here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/3ho5h9/has_anyone_tried_carolina_extract/

From the vendors site, it sounds like they really go out of there way to make the cleanest nic possible i.e. "water-distill", without per-truing chemicals etc. and I would guess they are the only ones doing this among the brands we're using...

The reddit'ers that praises this nic, where generally previously nude-nic or vt users, so does know good nic :)

"With purity levels approaching that of our pharmaceutical grade extracts..."

...so it's not USP?
Since they mention the nicotine is for vaping and not for patches and gum. I doubt it is USP. If I go into convulsions or grow horns. I'll let you know :p

Unless i'm mistaken, then USP is simly compliance with said USP monograph regarding to purity levels and contaminents etc.

This is often called "pharma-grade", but an actual pharamceutical would need another license proving it to be first USP complaint and second to be usefull in curing/relieving something, and i'm guessing this is what they mean, but dunno...

I cannot imagine, that they use VG with under 99% purity etc. as the USP spec dictates...

Edit: I know the FDA has US lawfull rights to control USP products, but I believe that is only in pharmaceuticals and not in "ingredients"...

Edit2: I've seen many other vendors state USP for there PG, but food grade etc. for there vg, and when I then mailed them about it, I have several times gotten cetrificates stating/proving USP/EP glycerin???

I'm thinking maybe the PG often used, has an actual license to be used as a pharmaceutical, and the VG dosen't, allthough both are USP grade, and that this confuses vendors, or me , lol :) Pg is often used in pharmaceuticals much more than in VG I believe...

Hmm, I haden't read the site product descriptions when I replied previously and only answered related to the posted quotes here.

They don't state USP with the vg and only the pg, which I still believe is because of my previous reasoning, but the part about the purity levels approaching that of there pharma-extracts, are mentioned for both there pg and vg bases, and are mentioned in relation to there nic, not pg or vg.

They state that it's compared to there botanical extracts, and they make a botanical extract under there pharmaceutical section called solanesol, so that's what they are comparing it too...
