effects of different brands of nicotine

[Andrew heck]

hi, I just started mixing my own juice and the nicotine I sourced was from flavor envy at 100 milligrams per ml. The question I have is, do different brands of nicotine extract have different effects. Apparently, this extract is naturally extracted, I.e. no synthetics. The effect of the juice I made is a slow burn or "creeping" of the nicotine buzz instead of the instant hit of the store bought juices I'm uses to. Is it just my imagination, or have others noticed something like this before?

There shouldn't be beyond some slight taste or lack of differences.there's a good chance either yours or the stores isn't exactly the level it says. And oxidation may play a roll in absorption by our bloodstream. Fresh juice hasn't had the time to fully breakdown and completely mix like something sitting on a shelf has and this ,I think anyways. May play a roll at how fast it is absorbed when we vape it

Essentially the same way a flavor develops from breaking down over time


I get the same buzz chain vaping fresh mixes. Does the room have a nice fuzzy texture yet? Lol

Andrew - ALL Nicotine comes from Tobacco leaves, basically.

Here's a comment made by a top juice manufacturer.

Extracted nicotine, regardless of plant origin, processed to pharma grades, is technically not synthetic. This pharma or "pure" nicotine is used in our products. Other pharma forms of nicotine, such as nicotine polacrilex, undergo a similar process but undergo specific bonding for use in products like nicotine gum, etc."

I don't think I'll ever make my own. The PG can easily be contaminated I've been told so I buy my stuff from a lab in Ottawa. Not saying you shouldn't. I just don't have the patients of a place sterile enough to do it. Before someone tells me off.. Remember, I'm a newb.

Yes we are gonna tell you off so there, naaa.


Lol the only real contamination is how you handle it.

You use a dirty bottle on a counter covered in cat hair. You can't hope for much.

Use clean bottles and syringes, keep your fingers out of it and your fine. I use old tuna cans and stir it with straws I found outside 711, cept for this weird rash i seem to be ok

Pg in its self really doesnt spoil or carry germs well. About the most it can do is break down in about 10 years left open.
That's not saying you could dip the knife you just cut raw chicken with and everything will be fine though.

Naaa

Whoever told you that must not have done their homework. PG is actually helpful in battling germs and viruses. From Health News and Information - News Medical

Propylene glycol, the primary ingredient in the electronic cigarette cartridge, may be a powerful deterrent against pneumonia, influenza, and other respiratory diseases when vaporized and inhaled according to a study by Dr. Oswald Hope Robertson. Decades before the e cigarette was invented, a study was conducted by Dr. Robertson of the University of Chicago's Billings Hospital in 1942 on inhalation of vaporized propylene glycol in laboratory mice. A more in-depth article was printed in the 1942 issue of TIME Magazine Medicine: Air Germicide - TIME for November 16th. "Dr. Robertson placed groups of mice in a chamber and sprayed its air first with propylene glycol, then with influenza virus. All the mice lived. Then he sprayed the chamber with virus alone. All the mice died."

The researchers also found that "the propylene glycol itself was a potent germicide. One part of glycol in 2,000,000 parts of air would--within a few seconds--kill concentrations of air-suspended pneumococci, streptococci and other bacteria numbering millions to the cubic foot."

slight correction: PG is antimicrobial ABOVE 25% concentrations. Below 25% and PG can actually become a bacterial food source. (Note how eliquid sources use minimum 30% PG as the last selection before going to straight VG or VG/water solutions)

Hi Andrew Welcome to ECF I don't think there is any synthetic created nicotine on the market for commercial use. I've heard it's prohibitively expensive atm so almost all nicotine is extracted. Extraction processes vary from mfg. to mfg., each having preferred solvents. Variations in steps/solvents used may affect taste.

pH can affect effect. A higher pH nicotine solution (or ready-mix e-liquid) will have more available unprotenated free-base form of nicotine which acts on the brain more quickly. A normal pH solution or a slightly acidic solution will have more mono and diprotenated nicotine and so have a different effect - not quite so immediate. Graph form of pH here: http://gfn.net.co/downloads/2014/posters/121 Clayton.pdf

Before mixing or dividing from an original manufacturer bottle, put on a dance CD and shake the living daylights out of that bottle. Nicotine can settle out of solution and form nicotine 'bubbles' and mares-tails type strings. So if you just draw a few scant mls off the top, you may be drawing weaker solution and if you're just splitting into 4 bottles or so, you may be getting less or more nicotine in each. So, get a safe grip on your bottle and (cue dance music) shake, shake shake, shake shake shake, shake your boodie ! Shake your boodie!

I don't know what temperature pg/vg vaporizes at but its probably high enough to kill most bacteria.

I really recommend a flavor without nicotine, I mean at least for me i prefer without nicotine and a flavor with more VG (because of the vape density).
