depends i have heared of people having pinky and discoloured and its tasted ok
best thing to do is to make a 10ml unflavoured tester mate
Did vape some of it pure and it tasted like any pg vg base really, just a strong throath hit because of the high nic.
I got some yellow nic base from a diff source (which I won't be using again
) - it vaped fine, just was harsher than my usual nic base. It's probably been too exposed to air and light. Keep it in the fridge if you want to use it.My normal source is this colour:
It's hard when shipping from the states is expensive, (I live in New zealand) so I normally purchase nic base locally. But at least I can order 100mg/ml base - you have it worse over there
it is exactly that color! it actually seemed to have faded slightly now. keeping it in a dark place in the closet which should be fine for 36mg.I got some yellow nic base from a diff source (which I won't be using again

its just base 60vg/40pg 36mg/ml free base nic. I bought 100 ML but decided to put it in smaller bottles of 50ml, this seemed to have helped it fade the color a little. Maybe the bottle it was delivered in was also not very clean and therefor had this weird color. One thing is for sure, I won't buy it anymore
I will however try to vape it in 12 or 18mg/ml DIY juices.
I have read, but not experienced, that the change in colour is a sign of oxidization. This is not a reversable process, meaning it will only get darker, not lighter. Sign’s of oxidization is change in colour and a strong pepper smell/taste. Keep it refrigerated

If changing bottles seemed to decrease the color then it very well may be the bottle itself.
Sure I don't see a problem vaping what you've got..I just wouldn't go back to him.
There's been plenty of pics on ECF of nic base that color or darker. Much darker. If you leave a bottle in sunlight in a warm room it will turn that color in no time. The only consequences are a slight decrease in nic content and a harsher vape or peppery taste. The color of your base is exactly what it should look like if it had been stored at room temp for a while. If it was a shade other than the yellow / orange / brown spectrum I would worry more.
Since you can't buy it legally in your country I assume the person you bought it from had to obtain his concentrated nic on the black market as well. Once the law goes that way you can't expect to be able to get the nice clear stuff that's available when it's legal. We might have to face that dilemma in the US one day. There's always a little risk involved. Like if they diluted it down with VG that wasn't food grade or something.
If it was me I would look into a nic testing kit. I know you can buy them on the internet quite cheap. It won't tell you about impurities but you would know how much nic was in it. I remember reading a story on ECF years ago about a guy in Australia who bought some 10mg nic that turned out to be 100mg.

Less volume (due to the smaller bottles) should look lighter. Less material for the light to travel through will result in lighter looking liquid. I doubt it is "getting" any lighter. That said; I agree with your idea to dilute it in your mixing, and vape it up. And then, look for another source.
I also agree with the suggestion to keep it in the refrigerator (at least the 2nd bottle). The cooler the temperature, the slower it will oxidize. The warmer the temperature, and the greater the exposure to light (ultraviolet specifically), the faster nic will degrade.
I'm glad it seems to be okay.
He gets his nic base from Hiliq, so I wouldnt say its black market, but its officially not allowed to import to Poland no
Thanks a lot all for your help, as said, I will vape it and find another source! Maybe myself I will try to buy some 100mg/ml nic salt from Hiliq

I didn't realise you could do that. I assume they must send it labelled as something other than nicotine. How secure is that process? Does it get intercepted often? Are there consequences to the buyer if it does get caught coming into the country?
Generally the shipper will label it as an innocuous gift. If customs opens it they see a bottle of liquid with no mention of nic. Nic doesn't have an odor and they count on customs not testing it. If customs does detect it and bothers to follow up, the receiver denies all knowledge and claims it was unsolicited. That was my experience before nic sales were legalized in Canada.
