Nicotine Comparisons

[sketchness]

true - but at nn people are paying a premium for storage-ready bottles glass, special caps, argon gas .....
if they were to sample they would have paid the upcharge for nothing

Agreed I can't bring myself to pay that premium either for the armor line. But the standard offering is quality to my taste buds.

If I am spending 150 a liter it will be Carolina Xtract.

I think RTS single liter price went up a while back. The three pack is where there's still a good price break.

I just checked that out tonight. I am looking to stock up like many others here. Believe it or not, RTS offers no real price break when buying in bulk. The three liter bottle is not any better of a deal than just buying one liter bottles. You save a couple of dollars is all. They offer no real incentive to buy in bulk. Kind of strange actually.

They dropped their single liter price after that post FYI.

Love the organization. How much nic do you have in there and what size bottles? I gotta do that...all contained in one neatly sorted container.

It is a total of 3 liters. I got the cardboard divider from the company I bought the bottles from and cut it to fit in the plastic sweater box from Wallyworld.
I used 10 - 1 oz bottles, 10 - 2 oz bottles and 16 - 4 oz bottles.

Awesome, thank you!

I'm kinda bummed that RTS stopped the $49/liter sales. I have a bunch of rewards points I wanted to use. Wholesale isn't terrible @ $147/3 liters but you have to pay $13 shipping. I may hold off and see if they have another sale.

They do a price match.

RTS Vapes will match and beat most USA competitor's prices on retail and wholesale flavorless liquid nicotine up to $42.99 per liter of 100mg/ml. Price matches can only be considered on exact product strengths and bottle sizes. RTS Vapes will review each price match request for verification of pricing. If price match is approved an RTS Vapes customer service representative will issue a store coupon on customer account in the amount of the competitor's price difference plus an additional 2%. The store coupon code must be entered at checkout to receive credit. Store coupon redeemable only for priced matched product.

Right! I should have snagged more than I did last week. But I figured 2000ml of 100mg/ml will last me a while mixing between 3 and 6mg/ml.....like maybe 10 years.

It was nice to pick up 2000ml of Nic for $80. (20% off first time order)

I am now at 2.5 mg.
Recently found bottle with forgotten 5 ml of 100 mg nic, brownish. Opened may be a year ago. Made juice. Did not see any difference with my fresh nicotine (NN). Does anybody can taste difference in nicotine quality in 3 mg (or less) juice?

If you can't taste it, that is all that matters.

[...] Does anybody can taste difference in nicotine quality in 3 mg (or less) juice?

Yes, though not tried under 3mg personally...

Good clean nic to me in 3mg just gives more depth, mouthfeel and lessened sweetness from the VG, and not as clean ones gives tobacco notes, ashtray notes, wooden/nutty notes or even pepper taste. I have two different ones mixed up in 3mg that I easily can differentiate between blind...

Old oxidized nic to me adds pepper in nose and more tobacco sometimes in some nics... Pepper usually always(in nose just).

Edit: Ohh, i'm talking unflavored here, btw... With flavored juices, then the answer is no, I cannot

Yes, I tried it with menthol and with absinthe.

Who knows if I'll be alive in 5 to 10 years anyways. And in a worse case senario, if it was NG, I'm 100% sure there will be a thriving black market, thanks to the GREEDY FDA.

Folks can judge their own odds in this regard. Most of use buy house, car, etc insurance policies and rarely have to use them, that's how I look at it. Besides, I smartly bought a few smaller bottles from the same batch, that is fine. The NicSelect I just ordered, most of which will go into intermediate storage, will be opened and tested. You have to place your faith in something, that's why I paid a premium for my first NN order.

Very pleased you have taken the positive attitude approach , i do the same .

I guess it's my confidence level, in all honesty. It's a new frontier, I'm not good at math, and being under the gun to carefully handle a potentially lethal liquid while learning how to DIY at an accelerated pace is a little nerve wracking.

I am an accident prone person. If it can spill, break, fall, splatter, I'm your guy.
I find that all the 'Get the hazmat suit on before mixing with 100mg nicotine' is a bit over the top. I have used 100mg nicotine since I started DIY. Takes up way less space and the calculations are easier for me.
I have transferred 100mg from plastic to glass, mixed small and large batches. Have I ever splashed/spilled onto my bare skin? You bet. Have I ever inhaled the 'vapors' from the 100mg nicotine? All the time.
When I spill it on to my skin, I finished whatever I'm doing and go wash it off. Nothing else. I wipe my work area down with a little soapy water and rinse it.

Unless you are worried about drinking the nicotine straight or spilling lots of it on your skin just as the water supply goes out, forget all the Sturm und Drang and enjoy using the 100mg in your DIY.

As for math, why would you bother calculating anything by hand? Many apps to do it for you, the one I use is by a forum member and is great.
New Calculator to try
By the way, using weight is my favorite mixing method, though others will recommend using syringes. My take on it? A gram is a gram while my ability to see a line on a plastic tube has declined with the years, so is inaccurate.

Then you may be interested in the glass bottles I use, since they have Euro dropper inserts, which allow syringe access, but prevent spills if the open bottle is knocked over. The inserts also act as a gasket for better sealing, similar to what a polycone cap does. For day to day dispensing I generally use 50 mL bottles. Also good if you have bulk sizes of flavors, which store better in glass than plastic, given that a significant flavor spill can render a room rather unlivable.

They also come in cobalt blue and green bottles. Been storing in and dispensing from these bottles with syringe for 6 years now, and I have yet to find anything better for my needs.

Thanks, I'm off to order a few to see how I like them.

Good call regarding the calculator. I've downloaded a couple of different ones, and have played with each one a bit but I'm not understanding them very well. My Nude Nicotine order arrived today, so it's time to begin understanding them in earnest.

I have to wait to buy flavors for another week and a half, but once that happens don't be surprised if I reach out to pick your brain about your mixing by weight method.
