Base Nic direct from Labs

[Visus]

I purchased base 18mg 250ml nicotine
I 1st open the nic is it already mixed or am I supposed to mix it?
I noticed as I got closer to the last few drops the strength of nic feel increased greatly.

I do know that its usually only a few drops off 99.99%pure nic to make a batch of 18mg, 36mg, 60mg, etc etc..

Are these potent nic drops just floating around in a huge pg/vg base not really mixed in?

If they were sending this to another lab, that lab would more than likely mix it anyway.

I am now mixing regardless but I wonder if they thoroughly mix each batch before shipping.

It should be well mixed but you should shake it well before every use regardless.

Ya, I dont think I did mix the last order and recent wow at the bottom surprise made me think and post.
I had the impression if mixing I would introduce oxygen and that would lower my nic % so I gently swirled it..

I will say that old ejuice from vendors that have sat for longer than 3-5 months seem marginally stronger than when new.

So\\ IDK what it is why it is stronger after sitting..
Does nicotine grow like yeast when stored properly or IDK lol why I posted..

You could pick one of these up. http://www.eliquidtest.com/BuyNow.aspx
Maybe you're just ready to drop your nic a bit? That's what's been happening to me when my usual seems too strong. I just drop a couple mg's and all is well.

The way I test
If it makes my eyes cross at 18mg
I buy 18mg cut it down to 2mg for my monster atty's and 12mg to stop cravings in an evod and anywhere in between 2mg-12mg.

If I get really bad cravings I have a few puffs on bare 18mg and let me tell ya they are diminished lol...It truly works...

I make a lot of RY4 and usually end up with about ~20ml 18mg base corner that I use in 3ml travel bottles and this time around whoa were they stronger than normal.. So I thought about the 99.99% pure and thought what if one of those drops remained mostly intact.

I had the sweats and panic'd feel much more so then vaping 18mg bare. I still have some of that 3ml left I will test it when I get the kit..

Wizard has a full kit for a few bucks less I really should have picked it up this past monday when I reorderd..
Definitely will pick one up this is fascinating..

The little bit of oxygen that you introduce will not effect the MIX. It takes a long time to ozidize the base and the chances are that you will use it all up by the time that happens. Oxygen oxidizes and does not lower the NIC concentration. The oxidation will make it taste stronger.

As far as growing like yeast I've never seen that. If your going to store NIC for a long period of time store it in the freezer. It won't freeze solid or expand so there's no chance of bottle breakage.
