    Just reporting in here on the more recent purchase of Wizard Labs Regular nic I received earlier this year. I'm exclusively an unflavored juice vapor...

    At the end of a long day vaping, I used to have a "nic" tongue. Discolored and funky tasting. Perfectly clean now.

    Carto has zero smell to it after 3+wks. Hasn't always been the case.

    Transferred the nic into several 30ml. bottles stored in my desk drawer for several months (78degrees lately). Still clear and scentless.

    I wrongly assumed that the Full Mouth feel and nic taste of this, which is very pleasurable, would leave it's scent, and taste around.

    This is also, after vaping for this long, the only place out of 6 suppliers that I'd trust to buy 500ml or larger.

    It would seem very efficient to purchase nic at a level and PG/VG ratio that it would be ready to vape.
    Do you purchase your WLR at your vaping level and PG/VG ratio or do you cut/mix it to the desired level/ratio?

    Speaking of oxidized nic. This pic is MFS purchased back in January. This stuff looks like cig butts soaked in pg.

    As for the flavor, it's delicious with Ry1. The sweetness from the flavoring is pretty much gone. It tastes more like a cig.

    That's what the unrefrigerated portion of my WL nic from January 2012 looks like! You're right, the flavor and throat hit are just like a tobacco vape, PRIOR TO adding the tobacco flavoring. This stuff ain't for the faint of heart!

    Yes, on the pre-mixed. 12mg 60/40vg. It's just sooo inexpensive, I quit mixing it myself. It doesn't look like they'll offer it again until this long, drawnout busy period is over.

    Or, asking nicely :)

    What I find odd is that the WL Ice nic never oxidized. I've had it in my cabinet longer than the MFS nic. I bought it last November.

    It would seem very efficient...

    ... and definitely MORE expen$ive...

    ... to purchase nic at a level and PG/VG ratio that it would be ready to vape.

    When I'm paying less than $.008 per ml of PG & VG and $.08 per ml for nic, no vendor will come close to that in a premixed nic/PG/VG base. IOW, that means I'm mixing my nic/PG/VG base for less than $.09 per ml.

    Efficiency vs. ¢o$t?

    Nude nic's price for 250 ml of 70/30 pg/vg, 12 mg nicotine base is $14. If I add $6 for Priority Mail, that's $20. ...figures to $.08/ml.

    In r77r7r's case, no need to mix...bottle to billows.

    ...seems both efficient and cost effective.

    I don't know what level you are mixing to, but am I missing something here?

    I think I'm going to wait a bit on the Nude stuff. I'm a little leary with the shipping in centrifuge bottles, and whether he's using them to mix.

    Anyone test the Nude yet?

    Do you remember this?

    Besides being funny, i did mention my aging experiment (do see some results now and something, as Jimi said, "odd" - but, my camera is starting to act up) and this was the first time I read something from "thejaker".
