Nicotine - how do you know what you ordered is what you got

[kvinna]

I'm curious on how do you know when you buy e-juice - vape juice that the mg of nicotine your ordered is actually what the vendor put in it.

If I order e-juice / vape juice with 24mg nicotine I want to make sure that is the amount of nicotine that is in my juice.

Is there a way to know?

If you buy from reputable juice vendors, your juice will usually be OK. With practice, you'll know how strong your juice is just by vaping it.

But if you want to test your e-liquid, you'll have to buy a kit--most nicotine vendors carry them:

Nude Nicotine Test Kit - HIGH RESOLUTION - Nude Nicotine

Thank You Katya. Many many years ago I did ecigs, the kind you dripped few drops, but was way to many years ago so now it's like I'm a beginner.

For some reason what I bought is making me want a real cig, it's like I'm not getting enough nicotine.

It's not that I don't trust the vendor, they have fantastic reputation & their juice tastes delicious. I wonder though since I paid for boost in the flavor maybe it affected the nicotine level.

When I get extra 10 bucks, I'm gonna do that test, I don't have the experience yet to know how strong it is by just vaping it.

Thanks for letting me know there is a way to test the nicotine level and the link. Much appreciated..

Wow! I just looked at your join date... And yes, I do remember those...

Welcome back!

I'm sure some juices might be a bit off, but I never had a problem--and never heard any complaints on the boards. We had one big scandal with a well-known nicotine vendor who sold (by mistake, of course) a batch of 250 mg/ml instead of 100 mg/ml... That was scary, but the bad batch was very quickly discovered by consumers who instantly knew that something wasn't right about that nic base. Samples were tested, the mistake confirmed and dealt with.

ETA. A flavor boost should not affect nicotine concentration at all. If you feel it did, contact your vendor--most will try to help you/work with you. If they don't, get a new juice purveyor!

Those test kit are not recommended for flavored ejuice. They are for testing diy nicotine base. The flavorings can effect the results.

True that.

Having a chemist as a good friend kind of helps too.
