Is nic content accurate?

[VIVAP2]

Hey all. I've been lately switching around flavored juices from different suppliers. They are all supposed to be 18mg. But there are two different flavors from different suppliers I like a lot. One gets me satisfied in two three puffs every 5 - 10 minutes. The other, I have to vape twice as much to get satified. When I buy 18mg, it's gotta be 18mg!

I am thinking of buying this kit to make the test myself and report the wrong labeled suply. I studied college chemistry so I feel confident making the procedure.

I truly hope makers and DIYers are testing received and sold batches for nic content.

That style of testing is only good for testing unflavored bases. The acidity and maybe other factors in commercial ejuice will make the test inaccurate.

Is there any accurate way to measure the nic content on end user batches for makers? What is it?

I doubt anyone tests for NIC content ....

I DIY and trust that my base is what it is sold as ....
in my mixes I just don't care what the content ends up being precisely ....
I aim for 18 & probably come in a little lower ...

as long as it's close & keeps me from thinkin' about cigs ....it's all good

and NO I don't think there is a way to get an accurate reading after flavored ....

and why would it really matter anyway ??

there is also NO way to tell how much you are absorbing either ...

It either works for ya' or it doesn't ...

I do test using a kit like the one in the first post but only when I get fresh base in. After that it is purely on mixing standards.

There are ways to test end user juice but it is quite expensive.

You trust that your base is what it is sold as? Ok

 

[kelleymcm]

yeah that doesn't look right does it ?

I trust that it "is" what it "is" sold as .....

IE: 36mg VG base is 36mg VG base

Sorry all. I guess I forgot we are living in a -"Wild West" principle-

You started the thread....why are you sorry about it? Or did you just want to say that from the beginning?

Is there a kit for testing the alcohol content of beer because there were times that a 'dozen wouldn't do it' and others when 3 bottles would knock me on my A Sugar Sugar. (All past tense)
We assume a lot with any product we buy!
