BoxElder Nic feels WAYYYY too strong?

[aut0tek]

I bought some 48, cut it in half BEFORE I put the flavors in (so mathematically, it's not even 24mg/mL), and was high all evening, on a total of maybe 30 drags. It was wayyy overboard. Something I did wrong? Ingredients used:

PA Green Apple
PA PG
Wal-mart USP Glycerin
BE nic 48mg/mL
Methol Crystals suspended in Everclear


I also made some Cinnamon Bun with Lorann's and the same thing... It felt like it had WAYYYY too much nic. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong, or maybe I have stronger nic than advertised? :/

I was wondering the same thing. I got 100mg of PG and VG from them. PG seems about right. but VG is giving me way too strong TH even after diluted into 16mg.
so I have run test that was on this forum. I am not sure how accurate my test result is. but result says my 100mg is actually 245mg...!
now I am wondering if they made mistake to dilute nicotine...?

I would contact Box Elder with your concerns, I am sure they do not want a mislabeled or improperly mixed product out there. Recheck the label and try to mix another small 3 ml batch of nic/vg or pg only and see if you get the same result. Could have been an error when diluting for your mix too.

...result says my 100mg is actually 245mg...!

Could you make a small batch of juice and use only half the nic as you did before, and try vaping it?

You might also send a small sample of the nic back to Box Elder for testing, or at least contact them about it.

I got 500ml and I have mixed many times. feel same way every time... I was thinking about contacting Box Elder but I thought I might be wrong. like I just taste stronger with VG or something.
anyway, I have sent e-mail to Box Elder and I'm waiting their reply. I will post back with their answer.
I am sorry I was not trying to make other people scared with their products. I am happy with PG one.

You're doing us a favor by reporting this. If your test results are accurate and it does turn out to be mislabeled products, they need to tell us what they are doing to prevent a mix up like that in the future because it could cause serious harm to someone (and hurt the e-cig community in general). I'll wait for their reply before writing them off though and I do hope (no offense to you) that there was an error with your test.

Where is this test at?

 

[aut0tek]

Thanks guys. It wasn't excessive TH or anything, it was that overnic feeling, and by A LOT. I vape 24mg all day, every day, and this made me nauseous, even after I cut it in 1/2. It's not like it was 30mg/ml and I just didn't like it... It was a very obvious "HELLO!" kinda thing.

Granted, if they sent me extra nic? Thanks! But I need a number to go with, so I can make accurate measurements. lol.

 

[lunchbox0]

autotek, lol @ "THANKS! But need a number to go with" That's a hook up for sure but kinda scary to be finding you have a really potent juice like that. 36mg makes me nauseous as fawk and i vape 20mg all day.

 

[aut0tek]

Imagine making your first batch of a recipe you've been wanting to try for a long time... Tastes great! But vaping it is like eating a boric acid brownie. So you're like: "Is it me? Did I do something wrong? Let me make another bottle...NOPE! NOPE! DEFINITELY STILL WRONG." lol.

There really should be a simple dip strip to test Nic MG's this would come in very handy and also keep vendors on the up and up as to there Mix strengths. Someone needs to come out with test strips and simple ones that just turn a different color to tell what MG the Nic is.

I think they exist and are sold on ebay. I haven't seen them, but I'm pretty sure I've read about them here.

This was my biggest fear of of ejuice both premixed or doing my own....ugh. We need simple test strips.....

LOL just bought one myself

 

[salemgold]

I keep some of my nic premixed with PG and VG so that all I have to do is add flavor when I am ready to mix and I just screwed up a batch the other day by losing track of my add. I am pretty sure that I figured it out correctly but this will come in handy for sure

 

[Seabrook]

Oh grief, this is serious. I hope no one else who got juice from this same lot was seriously injured or worse. BT or FDA is probably waiting for something like this to happen and cause serious injury or death so they can step in and take control - an ugly thought.

 

[mgmrick]

Agreed this is not good at all...............ugh
