Difference between nicotine juice and non nicotine juice

I would think that nicotine is the only difference. Is there something else specifically you are wondering about? Other typical ingredients in e-cig juice are the flavoring, vegetable glycerine, and propylene glycol. And water.
Thanks Schmidtyky, yes was wondering what else was in it. With the Nicotine I thought this would still give me the fix I need as I get this from the US.
I vape both nic juices and non-nic. Other than the nic, both have the same ingredients, vegetable glycerine, propylene glycol and flavorings. The nicotine is what gives you throat hit like you get from a cigarette. It also tastes a bit peppery.
I thought you could get nic juice in Australia, but I'm probably wrong. Once you've got 5 posts under your ECF belt, you can post in the Australian forum here. I'm sure they will know all the ins and outs of it all
Hi Ryedan, no it's illegal apparently without going into all the tobacco rules and regulations, it is banned in Australia like a lot of other things LOL.
It looks like vendors aren't allowed to sell it to you in Australia but you are allowed to import it in for your own personal use from other countries?
"Due to Australian law we are unable to sell you nicotine directly from our premises (no we will not change this in the future), however it is well within the law to import nicotine for your own personal use. Because of this, we are able to provide you with a link to an offshore company located in the United States where you can purchase nicotine for your own use."

and you all think america is backwards....I don't mean to cause a big nationally stink, but this shows how politics is the same no matter where you come from
I have the feeling it's not that simple midnitte. See frank.gotch's post and definitely talk to the people in the Aussie sub-forum. I could swear I've also heard that getting nic is possible legally over there, I just don't remember the details.

This is interesting and something I'm just discovering.
I have a bottle of zero mg, and a bottle of 6 mg - both are the same maker, same flavor, and same birth date (of course same steep time).
The one with the 6 mg of nic is more than 10 shades darker in color and the taste and aroma are much stronger! What I've learned from this is that adding nic to juice, at least in some cases, does more than give you nicotine or add a little bit of a "peppery" undertone to the flavor.

This is completely true. I have some with and without nic. It seems to me that the ones without are a bit sweeter?
Very interesting Vwls. I know nic degrades much quicker than anything else in our juices and I'm thinking that may be the reason for the quick darkening, but I certainly don't know that for sure.
I make my own juices. I've been adding nic only to my one dark juice since I went back to using it a couple of months ago because the taste change is really good for that one. It's also a significant change in taste (for me) at 5 mg. I'm going to try spiking one of my clear juices next time and see if that causes color change. The clear stuff does not change at all now, well at least not over the month or two it may sit around before I vape it all.
Taste is also complicated. You can add one flavor to another and they don't always become exact combinations of each, but can turn into something different. Plus device choice and power settings change taste too, bringing out different flavors. And you also don't know if the two juices that are labeled the same are mixed the same.
Lots of variables in this picture, but then what else is new
Nic does add more color to a liquid, especially over time. It can add an orangish/pinkish/brown hue to liquids depending on the flavor.
I'm very new to vaping but I can tell you that 0mg blends are very smooth and usually have more flavor along with that absence of throat hit. I vape mostly 0mg and when I go to a vapor bar to sample, I come away with an irritated throat and often a juice that differs from what I tried in the shop (thankfully usually better!). My boyfriend has a few low-nic juices and when I hit off of his I can tell from the throat hit. I will probably pick up some nicotine so I can have the occasional low-nic vape of something and still vape it at my usual 0mg the rest of the time.
Perhaps someone on the forums could help you with some incognito nicotine liquid if you can't buy it in Oz... (Not me, I don't have any
)

My nic in either 100% PG or 100% VG is completely clear, so it doesn't add any color immediately.
