This Heartland better be good. I saved a couple of bucks compared to VT. Heartlands shipping is expensive.

I would have gladly sent you a 120ml bottle to try. I've got over 1 1/2L of it that got pushed to the back of the freezer in favor of VT.

Is it too late to cancel your order? ;)

Thank you for that generious offer. I'll have them send it. I'm curious to see how they pack it as well. Lets see how this nic holds up in the heat vs. VT. Last week was a scorcher and VT's arrived to me crystal clear.

I noticed a pinkish hue to my VT nic when it arrived. More of a hint than anything obvious, but it was there.

I've also noticed, after vaping it for about a week now, after a day of heavy vaping, I get a peppery taste feeling on my tongue, but I don't get any of that when I'm actually vaping. It's more of a cumulative effect at the end of the day.

Anyone else noticed this?

Don't get me wrong, FOR ME, VT nic is heads above WL nic, with which I could taste black pepper WHILE VAPING, but again, at the end of the day I find myself drinking more water to get rid of the pepper taste and feeling on my tongue.

25/75, 6mg. Essentials Depot PG and VG. TFA and FA flavors.

nope. 1 liter of 100mg in my cart, applied "25nic100", estimated shipping, chose "free" = $64.99/shipped

EDIT - I just added four 8oz amber bottles/caps. $70.39/total Now I have to buy them. ^$&!#@^%!^*

;)

I already have a "medium" Priority box full and a glass-bottled liter sitting next to it.
Time for another Priority box. We don't need food anyway. We vape FLAVAHS!



Done. I'm bad.

Does that code only work for the 1L bottles (which are out-of-stock)?

I received my second order from VT a few days ago and I noticed that the nic is a very pink/peach color. My first order came in a dark bottle and I poured it into a Boston Round blue bottle and stuck it in the freezer so I did not notice the color. I have other nic that I wanted to use up/practice with. I added most of my current order to that bottle and put it back in the freezer. I was expecting a totally clear liquid based on all the rage I've seen about VT nic.

I have not mixed anything with the VT nic yet so I can't comment on taste.

I sort of regret not waiting for cooler weather to order yesterday's liter + 8oz bottles from Heartland.
Maybe your VT cooked a bit on the way to MN?

It's possible, I guess. It's been a bit on the warm side lately, and sitting in trucks in the sun...

I wonder if they could offer an option of having them shipped in Styrofoam coolers like pharmacies do with insulin and other medications. I'd pay extra for that.

I'm surely no authority of nicotine. However, after working with VT for about a month, I think I can make a good personal comparison between HV, WL, and VT.

I'll say that VT is my current favorite. It is good in its own way but to me for probably different reasons than for most folks. However, I wouldn't call heartland or WL bad. I'd say they're a bit warmer and possibly add a bit more coloring to the flavor of CERTAIN juices…initially.

I say warmer because I notice a degree of heat sensation in nicotines and have never noticed a "peppery" taste that everyone mentions…in any nicotine that I've used. What kind of pepper are we talking about? Black, red, jalapeño? I don't know. Never tasted it.

I say initially because after steeping all compared juices, I really don't notice much difference other than MAYBE a bit of heat and price difference.

I like VT because it does actually allow flavors to shine through a lot more right away without steeping. I can mix and vape right now. I'm not sure what's up with that but it is so. So to me, it's a great tester and emergency nicotine. I can mix SINGLE flavors pretty close and then mix them with my less expensive HV nic and then allow them to steep. In the long run, they're the same or close. All complex and multi-flavor mixes even with VT need to steep to develop.

In my opinion, VT does have plenty of throat hit just like the rest, doesn't require less flavoring than the rest, and does require steeping to meld and develop flavors correctly…just like the rest. And it does have flavor and warmth just like the rest. Maybe a bit less but it's still there.

Don't pour your WL or HV down the drain just yet. Wait a bit.

Like I said, I'm no nicotine authority and haven't tried them all. Still, I wouldn't start calling WL "horrid" as I saw mentioned earlier in this thread or start finding fault with the folks at HV. In my opinion, it's all still the same as the raves were last month before VT came along.

Newbies, test them all, make your own decisions, and rely on your own mind with your own opinions. Like I said earlier, VT is MY current favorite for certain reasons but still intend to use HV for others as long as they still make good tasting juice.

I'm so sorry that most people can't pick up petrochemical taste or aroma.

Why?
I actually like not being that sensitive to taste and smell. I'm not on the endless search for the perfect nic, cause they all taste the same to me. I can buy the cheapest nic from the supplier I trust and be happy with it. I also don't have to measure my mixes down to the microliter, I can just eyeball it in a graduated cylinder and it tastes and smells the same to me each time.

So with me being a basic lazy person it works for me.

Pictures can be deceiving, but my intent is not too - forgive the lack of computer and camera skills.

I started this experiment on 4-28-2013 with 3 - 2ml samples of 100mg/ml of nicotine (all in PG) taken from the freezer and put in clear glass vials and stored in the basement shop. But, and I'll explain later, I will start with a picture of the same nic taken from the freezer on Sunday 7-13-2014. All 3 samples (also put in 8ml clear glass vials) remain clear and I detect no difference in odor - if I were to vape them, as previously done, my guess would be still "air".
