the 4L of Chemnovatic nicotine I have bought from VT have been consistently very clean.
I'm sure it has been man. It's one of the best out there. Just wished the first batch was available. I'll probably never find it again. That's why I won't vape what I have left in the freezer :D

@mhertz they may both be nic select. I personally am not sure but will trust you are right. But the heartland nic has a stronger odor and throat hit. Maybe it is older? Not sure. The nicotine river is definitely better tasting and has a more neutral smell based on a side by side comparison. This is all according to my taste buds you or anyone else really may have a different equally valid opinion.

As far as pg vs vg nic. I am simply saying that the ratio is off as there isn't 10% pg present. I will just add a bit of pg and do the same comparison I did previously. I still have some of all 4 test samples mixed up.

Decided to order the Heartland Vape Nic for my friends and use the NN I have now for my personal use:) I have a brother who is vaping 18-21mg and was going through my NN. I'll post on here when it comes in to give my impressions if y'all are interested.

I would vape that bottle first ... myself, I only vape 4-5ml per day, therefore, 1L of Chemnovatic nicotine could last me more than 4 years :blink:

I think I still have @3.5 L in the freezer :vapor:

The reason I state heartlandvapes uses nicselect, is because you can see the batchnummer if you use the magnifier on the picture of the nic-bottle here:
Nicotine Solution 100mg Pure USP Grade - Liter Heartlandvapes Wholesale

Then if you compare to e.g. this list of nicselect coa's:
MSDS and COA

Then you cannot find the exact batchnumber, because it's a litte to old, but you can see that it is in the same format and the same number of letters.

Hearlandvapes goes : NIC-469102407076

The earliest batch listed on the nicotine-river page is : 469102505068

However, I now see that the batchnumber is atleast from before the 11/05-2014, so they could very well be using another supplier now, I don't know, unless someone reports if the batchnumber on a newer bottle of theres follows same format...

Edit: The newer batchnumbers should then be e.g this number from a very recent batch of there's(alchem) : 469102605050

At this time, I have 9 of 12 responses in for the Nicotine Base Comparisons.

I'd like to see the rest of them in the next couple of days.

Those of you that have testings of Nicotine Bases other than the four selected and provided by Rossum, please send those results in as well. Please identify variations in PG/VG mixture and clearly identify the Nicotine Base source by supplier. Use the same format of testing criteria as is utilized for the basic 4 Nicotine Bases.

Rossum - Will you be adding your own evaluations to those of the dozen testers?

Indeed, I just submitted it.

However... IIRC, I only sent out 11 sets of samples; one person on the original list never provided a shipping address, so I believe 12 responses total is all you can expect.

so if my math is correct we are waiting on 1 person?

As mhertz suggested, 2 sets of data to go. I'll need a little time to prepare after receiving all the data. Having seen 5/6ths of the results, there are some apparent differences in approaches by the various testers. I'm compelled to offer some prefatory remarks on how the results might be viewed. I'll prepare those after all the results are received.

Thanks for doing this Breeze and all others involved. I hope a lot is learned with this trial and from that more and more uniform test can be done in the future. I'm sure Breeze will see some anomalies and inconsistencies that can be corrected in the future. Again, thanks to all involved and I look forward to seeing the results.

Remind me, which brand you are reviewing?

I took the time to look back and fond this :)

I do have fresh, unopened (received within the last 10 days) 120 ml bottles of nic from four different vendors (VT, VZ, XV, and NN)

Are these correct Rossum?
