determing if there is nic

[ejoker]

so i'm a zero nic user for about 6 weeks now.

i ordered some menthol, and while its good as usual, i get quite dizzy when i vape it. certainly feels like nic. i've already contacted the supplier who assures me it is zero nic. i have no reason to doubt said supplier, but my head disagrees.

it has a slight yellow hue to it, and to be honest i've never really noticed if there was a color before.

is there a relatively simple way to determine if there is in fact nic in here?

To test this requires a lab. way not worth it for your purposes. or use this: http://www.testcountry.com/categories.html?cat=132 not sure, but i bet if you dropped straight e-juice with nic on there it would be positive.

If you want to be absolutely sure (and with a yellow tinge i would be concerned) that you aren't getting nicotine just get some plain pg and a baggie of menthol crystals. put some pg in a dropper bottle, add a couple medium sized crystals and cap the bottle. place in a mug of tap water (heated from the tap, not on the stove) and let it sit until the water cools. might take a couple mugs worth of hot water. the menthol will dissolve. if you find it is too strong, add more pg. I mix up a 60ml bottle when i do this at twice the menthol amount i like, and just fill a 10ml bottle with half pg and half the menthol mix. lasts forever.

Zero nicotine, and about 5 cents per bottle depending on size

Just be sure to get 100% usp propelyne glycol and 100% pure menthol crystals.
if you find you are tempted to go back to smokes, add a bit of unflavored nic. if you buy it at 60mg strength add about 1/10th the bottle to get very low 6mg strength. just dont go above around 24 and you're rockin.

Have you seen the easy DIY test?

Have you seen the easy DIY test?

i have now, thanks - i will try that - though i do have a strong apprehension and concern about the use of dihydrogen monoxide ...

I recommend diluting the dihydrogen monoxide with ethyl alcohol, to avoid any possible issues.

won't that skew the results though?

It might very well, but if you drink enough of it, you won't care.
