I have two juices from the same company one much darker and question nic strength

[Kandicat]

I have two juices from the same company. One is butterscotch and the other is vanilla. Both are 12 mg. I also have a zero nic vanilla from the same company. The 12 mg vanilla is much much darker than the butterscotch and much harsher than the butterscotch. I really like the butterscotch but the vanilla is difficult from me to use. The butterscotch is smooth. Can anyone maybe tell me why this is? I have had these for two weeks and the butterscotch has improved. The vanilla has improved in flavor but the harshness is still there and it is darker. The butterscotch has not gotten darker like the other. I wonder if the vanilla if the vanilla might be stronger than 12 mg. I really don't know. The zero nic vanilla has almost no color. That is one reason I am question the others strength. Am I on the right track, maybe? I store them in the dark and cool.

Thanks

How does the zero nic vanilla taste like in comparison to the 12mg one?

Also, do the liquids you mention have the same PG/VG ratio?

As far as I know, nicotine is colorless. So it might be something else.

I just vaped the zero and feel nothing in my chest or throat. I loaded it directly in the chamber where the 12 mg vanilla is. Maybe the 12 was not primed enough and I was burning some wick. I did many dry pulls before I started. It does make me very dizzy where the butterscotch does not. I often vape the BC on the way home for thirty minutes with no issues alternating with V2 red 12. I really think the 12 vanilla is stronger but have no way of knowing. I wasn't getting the chest pressure after the direct load zero nic was gone, like before, and I was on the 12 van. I guess I need to start mixing it with the zero. I will use it but won't order more. As far as taste they both taste the same. It was in the chest.

I am a noob. I figured it out. I have to set the BC at 4.0 and 8.0 and the vanilla at 3.5 and 6.0. VV/VW. I guess I was burning it to hot. It is much smoother. I still think it is a stronger nic level than 12 mg, though. Thanks all.

Higher nic content can make the throat hit stronger or harsher. Also, some vendors add alcohol to cut the juice and that can make it harsh also. As for the coloring difference, it could be the ingredients they use. I have many bottles from certain vendors that arrive clear as water in color and 3 weeks later they are black like tar after steeping.
