Opened it and it tested 3 mg less than what I stored it at (did not have a test kit when I stored it. SO no idea. It may have been 3 mg under then as well) It is crystal clear and taste just fine.WL no longer has the reputation as being one of the "cleaner" nics around and my theory is that you want the cleanest nic possible for long term storage, 'cause it isn't going to improve with age. Last summer, I was second-guessing my choice of NN as a vendor 'cause a few others we getting a reputation of being as good or possibly even better. So I bought some of each and ran a blind test with almost a dozen participants. It started here. The results were fairly conclusive that Nude was the cleanest.
Here is how I did that math. I refill from an 18 ml bottle. It lasts 2.5-3 days so I'm vaping 6-7 ml per day. I use 12 mg of nic per ml so 12 mg X 6 ml = 72 mg of nic per day. A 1 liter bottle of 100 mg nic has 100,000 mg of nic (1,000 ml X 100 mg). So 100,000 mg / 72 mg = 1389 days / 365 days = 3.8 years. I believe nic can last 10 years in a freezer in amber glass bottles so I got 3 one liter bottles for $50 each. If you vape 25 mg of nic per day one bottle should hold you for 10+ years. It appears my DIY is costing me about 12 cents a day.
That's what I was going to say, but you beat me to it. This way, you only have a one-time air exposure when you rebottle into 5x 50ml's, instead of opening the 250ml bottle on five separate occasions and introducing more oxygen each time you do.
Understatement of the decade.
that's the easy out, but hey, it works for me). So I'll be putting a few of those in the freezer this weekend. Same thing, right?
cool:long history 6 yrs) look up a fella that goes by the handle of Kurt.
thought small back then!
soI think i'll be doing the same thing. I've been buying 12mg or 9mg 70/30 base for mixing since i started.Another question too. I'm gonna assume all the foregoing also applies to the already mixed PG/VG option? I usually order 250ml or 500ml of 24mg 75/25 (I know
The trouble with buying pre-mix is the amount of space it takes up in your freezer -- that is if you're stocking up for the long term. 10-12 liters of 100mg should be a lifetime supply for me and doesn't take up a whole lot of freezer space. I'd to store ~7x that much if I bought it pre-mixed.
I hear you, I have spent wat too much on premium nude nic and premium vapers tek, when I am just as happy with Vapor tek throat hit. My taste buds cant really tell a diference. I did buy MFS nic back when they firs started using aLCHEM NIC and it was pretty harsh, bought a couple litres of it. I will still use it when I run out of my good stash or make juice for other with it.Liquid nic is just like flavored juice in that "taste" is highly subjective between individuals. I'm a NET fan and have been extracting/making my own for several years, don't like Nude Nicotine -at all- it's too smooth, too little throat hit. I do like Vaper Tek's "Throat hit" nic but no more than nic from RTS, Heartland, Wizard labs or MyFreedomSmokes. From all that I've tried I like the taste, TH and clarity of MyFreedomSmokes "current line" of liquid nic best. The fact a liter of 100mg costs just $50 (free shipping if you buy two), is just icing on the cake. I can buy a -gallon- of crystal clear 100mg nic for about the same price people pay for 1000ml of Nude Nic. My wife on the other hand is into fruit flavors and prefers Nude Nic because it's so smooth, so I buy (and store), it just for her. As a result, my deep freeze has "His and Her" nic sections.
He currently uses 50ml's glass bottles(and recommends whatever size suits personal usage), and recommends good sealing caps like euro droppers(which also acts as good gaskets) or polycone caps, and personally prefers euro-droppers over polys just for avoiding spills...
