I've never tried what you purpose, but think that the way Nic is processed is more important as far as TH and Pepperyness (??) is concerned, unless you have tried that method and found success.

Do you have any links to some of the OZ forums so I can do some reading ?? I'm a BIG reader ya know.
If I remember correctly from reading back from Page #1 in this thread, MFS at some point changed processor or distributor and the strength of Pepperyness and TH went down and got all civilized. I could be wrong though, as my memory is getting very suspect here lately.
JeremyR turned me onto ECX as being one of the best Nic's for TH and that Peppery feel in the back of the throat, but that was over 3 years ago and I don't know if things have changed since then, and I don't believe we even talked about Chinese Nic then, so that is an avenue I had not explored at all, till now that is.

The nic I bought from them was in Nov. 2015, and it was too peppery for my liking. Don't know if that was before, or after, any distributor changes though.
I am still vaping some MFS i got in December 2016 and it is very clean,no pepper taste at all.
ditto, i got a liter or two of theirs around the same time and never noticed an issue even vaping unflavored but I only vape 3 - 4.5mg.
I only vape unflavored and have been using the MFS at around 20 mg. Really is pretty smooth. No idea what their current stuff is like,it has been well over a year since i used them. Still got about half a liter of 100 mg of it in the freezer.
Not Dubminer, but....
Something is rattling around in my empty brain pan, that thinks I recall @Kurt mentioning doing this (intentionally oxidizing), to bring out additional flavor and TH. I want to say is was in conjunction with some of the Box Elder nic discussions.
Wait, never mind
, found it:and:
A note on this previous quote; Kurt mentions in another post that VT stopped O2 bubbling in favor of open air agitation:
@52anddone, I don't know if any of that will help you, but it is something to think about.
@IDJoel 
Thank You very much for your research on this, I remember reading something about what you posted by @Kurt but couldn't remember exactly what, so I didn't say anything for fear of mis-quoting him. Yes, I will be thinking about those posts for sure, and Thank You again.
I still remember reading about all the tests that @Rossum did with several different Nic's, but that has been awhile ago (years), and to do those same tests now would prolly yield different results, as from then to now the Nic's have, more likely than not, gone thru at least some changes, for a variety of reasons.
@Vapntime
I hope you have found some links for me to read over on the OZ forums (since you are from there). I have no Idea where to look, or what they might be called so I could do a search for them.

Hey hey, you can search the aussie site just for Hiliq if you want, however I believe there were 1 or more 'on the take' there for promoting Hiliq nic. A lot of negative posts stating that Hiliq was harsh, peppery etc were immediately 'set upon' with 'its fine, its great, its your hardware etc'. lol, but anyway here are a couple from ECF about Hiliq.

I also strongly suggest "aging" your nic. as I have to others before with the same peramaters. Take a small sample about half full, lid on, and put it in a warm windowsill for a week or two until it turns a nice dark color. You can burp it every now and again to introduce some fresh oxygen. This nic. will definitely have more throat hit than before. I have done similar unintentionally and it was so peppery I threw it out.
I might try your suggestion Capt. My only problem is that this time of year I don't see much Sun Shine, from any window sill.

I think TH and peppery kind of go hand and hand here but if I was aiming for a scratchier hit but trying to control peppery I would take samples as it changes color. Probably every 5 days or so after it starts to change. Find the flavor you like and then you can put it back in the fridge/freezer to hold it.
Could try sitting it under a (more powerful would probably be best) full spectrum light bulb for a while. It works similarly to sunlight, only there's less distance to travel, and I'm sure it would "do stuff" to your nicotine. It sure "does stuff" for my mood on cloudy days and etc.

I guess I'll have to wait for Summer time, as it's been either raining or snowing for several weeks now up here.
You do not need to wait, just leave a small bottle open for a few days and let it oxidize. Oxygen will do the trick, sunlight or heat is not needed
