Liquid nicotine questions

[thekill]

When purchasing liquid nicotine, what would be the best (if there is even the slightest differnce) base to have it in? PG or VG?
Buying from wizard labs, absolutely great prices. Unbeatable plus super reliable.

Most use PG unless you have a sensitivity to it, it's thinner so easier to suck up into a small Syringe.

Pg for longer storage life

 

[KentA]

Agreed.

Refrigerated, or just in a cool, dark place for longer storage life?

The freezer in glass bottles is best for long term storage of nic concentrate.

That's where mine is

As others said I prefer PG and freezer for long term. Although I haven't been doing this long, I quickly found out that the nicotine is not your biggest expense. The flavor is, I would certainly test other nicotine bases before committing to a long term supply. If you have to buy extra flavoring to cover a unwanted flavor it will cost you more in the long run. Not saying Wizard is bad, but its worth testing if you looking for a long term supplier.

The pg nic for longer storage life is not really factual imho... Yeah, pg has a re-test date of 2 years and vg 1 to 1 1/2 years, but firstly, it's not recommended to have working nicotine bottles out in rotation for a full year plus and second, vg nic should last longer in freezer before high oxidation occures.

Also, with vg nic, you have the option of making max-vg mixes with only the pg from the flavoring, which many likes or atleast wants the option to be able to make at a point, whereas no-one really wants a 100% pg mix or i've atleast never heard about such demand.

So to me, vg nic is really the better choise, since it's both more flexible(unless if wanting 100% pg!) and holds longer in freezer

As said allready, the only downside is that it is more annoying to use if mixing by volume, but no problem if mixing by weight though...

Also, if using vg nic with water in, then it can oxidize worse than pg nic...
