Nicotine Comparisons

[Capt.shay]

So when you buy a liter you need to re bottle all of it for long term storage? Or could I buy five liters and take one liter, bottle it in amber bottles and do another liter at a later date?
I guess my real question is can the liter bottles that come from the company go directly into the freezer until I put them in amber bottles?

No, you want them in glass for the freezer.

So I would need enough amber bottles to rebottle 6000 ml of nic base?????

Check to find out if the suppliers ship in glass bottles. I got a stash of Nude Nic Armor V2 during the Black Friday sale. It shipped in glass and went straight into the freezer. You could just get 1 liter glass bottles if you wanted to minimize the number of bottles for storage. I transfer a larger bottle into smaller ones as I get ready to use them, keeping just enough out to last me a few months max.

Thanks! I thought I needed to buy 120 50 ml amber bottles!
So maybe around 20 of the 50 ml bottles and 5 liter size glass bottles!

Thanks for the report Amanda. Please keep us posted.

Still waiting to hear back from Chem Nic, but in the meantime I did test the nic and it came out to 88mg/ml not 100mg/ml. This is old nic, and at this stage I hope they just refund my purchase.

Thanks Amanda. It is the weekend and all so I guess we could cut some slack there but the rest does not sound good. I think I'll scratch this one off the list.

Personally I would still break it down into a bit smaller bottles versus 1 liter glass bottles in the freezer, at least down to 500ml or 250ml bottles to minimize the risk of breakage in the freezer or when you remove it from the freezer and have a horrible cleanup.

3 medium size USPS Priority boxs (free) fit in my allotted freezer space perfectly.
Each USPS medium box fits fifteen 250ml Boston Round bottles (polycone caps) perfectly.

I break down 250s to a 120 and 2 60s and keep one of those 60mls out to use.
250s actually hold about 260, 120s actually hold about 130, 60s actually hold about 62ml.
That's how I store and use my nic (all 100mg or stronger).

Sometimes they randomly give free shipping to new customers. I got it
They also have sales often. I'm a fan.

I haven't used gloves in 3 years but sometimes you just want insurance. Stay safe my friends.

BTW - I didn't get a single drop on the gloves during breakdown.
I did during cleanup. Use protection even if it dulls the feeling

I just looked at Nude Nic and it looks like the gallon size would be more economical that 4 liters. Has anyone bought the gallon size?
Because there are 195 pages here can someone also summarize perhaps the top three companies I should consider for my nic base purchase?

Did you take into account that gallons are not eligible for free shipping, and that a gallon is only ~3-3/4 liters?

IMO:
NN -- NudeNicotine
VT -- VapersTek
WL -- WizardLabs

 

[57chilicat]

Even with shipping the gallon size was less but I didn't figure out how much per ml it was! Going to do that now!
Thanks for the info Rossum!
If I could afford it I would go completely with the armor 1 from NN!
I like the idea of it being in glass and freezer ready!

 

[440BB]

My top three would be

1) Carolina Xtraction Technologies - best quality, highest cost
2) RTS Vapes - smooth and holds up to storage well for me. 3 liter deal is good
3) Wizard Labs - consistent great packaging and service, just a bit more bite than RTS

 

[Mowgli]

I'm not ordering any more WL or Heartland. They're very good but I like others better for the price.

My top 3

1. Nude
2. VT TH
3. RTS

Nude - most transparent flavor (or lack of) but expensive compared to VT TH
VT - I only tried TH but it's almost as transparent as Nude
RTS - consistently mild but pleasant. Offers an extra strong strength for long term efficient storage.

Haha! I love this freezer! Pizza, corn, a couple of mysteries and NIC!!

I got the sample of NicSelect today from Nic River. It's perfectly clear with only a mild typical nic smell to it. I'm mixing unflavored tomorrow to see how it vapes. I'll post results after I vape it for a few hours.

From what I understand, VT TH is not going to be offered any longer however, they will special order it if requested for double the previous price ... still not a bad deal at all, just not as good as it once was. I don't know how much extra time the special order might entail but obviously there will be some.

Just fyi for those who might be interested.

Is DIY nic being removed from market Aug 8th? I've looked around and haven't seen anything saying that but let's face it, there's thousands of posts. I could have missed something. Geesh take a couple of months off and the whole vape scene changes.

Nic base is in a grey area right now. Nothing definitive and seems to be not in the cross hairs nearly as much as premix. Age verification at point of sale and again at delivery seems to be the only sure thing post 8/8. At least at the fed level. States are a bigger threat until the FDA piles on new and more targeted regs.

It's mental quagmire trying to figure out the smartest way to hedge right now. And it sucks.
