Hi, I thought I'd come here to ask a few questions. I will explain my situation, involving my first DIY attempt. Ordered 115ml 36mg nicotine from health cabin. The day it arrived, I mixed it with some Chocolate Hazelnut and 80/20PGVG. I made several small batches, all at different flavor strengths to test. Result was that, regardless of the flavor strength, the juice burnt something awful. This was in brand new Aspire BDCs, cleaned and fresh. So that can't be the problem. It was a residual burning feeling, especially in my nose. I know I'm meant to steep, so I did. A week later, still the same effect, possibly less so, but still burning. So today I thought I'd fiddle, to see what happens. I made a new batch but with a lot more flavor; around 20%. Strange thing is, the burning is almost gone but very little flavor comes through. I presume this means steeping is required? My real question is, does all this indicate a bad batch of nicotine or simple mistakes? If anyone could explain, or even give some suggestions that would be great. I am conscious of asking stupid, frequently asked questions, but I've read virtually everything I could find on the internet. One last question. Should the nicotine be prepared in any way before mixing the juice? Thanks a lot, Chris

I assume you normally vape 36mg strength. To rule out flavoring issues, vape some without flavorings added. That'll tell you if the nic itself is causing the problem.
Vape some 18mg unflavored then. But first you should try vaping a touch of PG, then VG. Try eliminating your base ingredients one at a time to see if that's what the burning sensation is coming from.

Ran out of PG, just tested it unflavoured at 36mg. Not significantly worse. Still very, very peppery though. Is this a steepage issue or a bad batch?
Some Nics are very peppery. Some people like it that way (I'm not one of them) especially if they are vaping unflavored. I would rather my Nic impart as little taste as possible to my mixes.

Thanks Steve, I'll have to try and find tasteless nicotine from somewhere. It's a shame, US shipping is brutally expensive.
Your Welcome. I know the shipping would probably be crazy expensive, but from everything I've heard/read, Vapers Tek Nic is supposed to be tasteless. Give me a second and I'll post the link to the discussion thread.

Here you go in case you're interested. I think this is the type you would like.

Well, that's depressing. Got a message that my item can't be shipped to my location.
I'm really sorry about that, I didn't realize that they didn't ship to Australia.
