Nicotine Comparisons

[52anddone]

It has been two years but the worst nicotine i ever ordered was from Ecx. The pepper taste was so strong and then i was using flavored juice. I might of got unlucky and at the time knew no better. I will never order from them again.

That "Peppery Taste" is what I absolutely Love in a Nic, but you are correct in that that same "Peppery Taste" can really screw up some flavors if not a tobacco (and sometimes even then it will). I have (2) different Hangsens tobacco flavors that ECX will just kill the flavor in, and I mean kill, Flat dead. For a Unflavored mix, I love ECX (it also goes really nicely with a Menthol/Mint mix).

I am really cornfused here. I thought ECX was a Dirty Nic compared to all the others out there, that's why I bought it and have been using it for these many years. If there's a Dirtier Nic out there, please let me know. I've tried Mt. Baker, RTS, MFS, and LiquidNicotine, but like ECX for it's TH better, the others are just too tame for me, but you might like them better ilporcupine.

Sorry, maybe I was just being over sensitive. I started this to get recent info, and maybe the vendors just change their sources too often to keep up?
Some folks are using up stock purchased years ago, so maybe things have altered. Maybe just close my eyes and point!

Right now I am only vaping base with some menthol, because I can't taste jacks***. So there you go...

That's almost the way I felt about it over 3 years ago myself, when trying to find MY perfect Nic without having to go thru all the Nic's out there to find "The One". I know for a fact that vendors change their sources every few years, as that is the conundrum I went thru when picking out my first Nic 3 years ago. Some vendors just went out of business, some changed their sources too, which didn't leave me with too many options other than to try a few that I thought might work and do a head to head taste test.

 

[52anddone]

I find that most seem to like a Smooth, Flavorless, Scentless, Colorless Nic. I seem to be the oddball, so I really can't help many folks at all as far as that kind of Nic, as I have to have all the TH as possible and "Peppery is Good", for me.

Are you experiencing Vaper's Fatigue right now by chance ??

Me? Nah, this precedes my vaping history. Taste comes and goes. Sinuses.
Antibiotics not helping.

 

[52anddone]

I hear ya. Nude Nic is what a lot of folks just rave about as far as flavorless, scentless, colorless, tasteless goes. I have never tried it myself, because it sounded way too tame for me.

I also like Jack Links Beef Jerky with my ECX Nic, as I tend to live on the Wild Side.

This might help you out,

My favorite recipe is; (This will clean out any and all Sinus and stuffy Nose problems, also good for Vaper's Fatigue)

My Menthol/Mint Mix:
10mg/ml ECX Nic (stronger if you like, or you can use any Nic either)

1.5% Crushed Menthol Crystals (66% Crushed Menthol Crystals in 34% PG (I mix up about a 30ml bottle of this and use as my Menthol rather than store bought. It will last me for over a year) and I use 1.5% in this recipe)

1% INW Mint (to eliminate that metallic/gritty taste I get from strong Menthol. It smooths out the edges)

1.75% Fa Flash (for added TH) you can leave this out if you want

My daughter can't vape this mix as she says it is way too strong for her (she was also a smoker, like me).

Yeah, I have concentrate, like yours, and add it to my premade base, until it is menthol enough. This is basically my ADV at the moment.

Time for "ESPN", Have a good evening porcupine, Catch me later.

You might want to try Chinese nic

Yep. That's why I've not chimed in despite having run the blind test with 10 or so the participants in about half way back in this thread a few years ago. At that time, Nude Nicotine's product was the the "cleanest" of the nics tested. But whether that would still be true today is unclear.

If I didn't already have a lifetime supply snugly in my freezer, I'd probably look at Carolina Extract now. It's rather expensive though.

Hey, they were the ones who invented ecigs, and they have been making ejuice longer than anybody else. Some of their nic is pretty damn good.

One example is Best E-Juice Wholesale Online, Diy E Juice, E-Cig Juice who started out as a Chinese only website back in 2005, and they eventually opened up a manufacturing facility in the USA.
I have bought from them for about 4 years now and have always been happy with their nic.

The reality is that almost all nic extraction from tobacco is done either in China or India.

Of course the quality (purity) of the finished product can vary, and different vendors of the diluted nic base we buy can have differing standards for what they consider acceptable to sell.

Is "ECX" Nic Chinese or from India then ?? As already stated, I really like ECX Nic, but, is there a nic that is more Peppery with more TH than ECX (I am working thru my 3 year old Liter of 100mg ECX right now) ??

Seriously, you could try Hiliq nic from China. Alot of Aussies actually get their nic from them. It's definitely on the 'stronger' side and peppery.

 

[52anddone]

Thank You Vapntime, I'll check them out and try and get a sample.

 

[Cool_Breeze]

If memory serves me well, My Freedom Smokes had very peppery nicotine. I don't know if they still do.

Why not just pour some into a 120 ml bottle place in a safe cool dark place and leave the lid off for a week. You will have some real peppery TH then.
