Nicotine Salts

[Rossum]

Thanks Ros!! let me ask do we store it the same way as regular nic?

Not sure. I sometimes add a bit of citric acid to my (unflavored, vapeable strength) base to smooth it out, but I only do that when starting a new 120ml bottle, so storage has never really been a factor.

That said, I would imagine the standard advice is still appropriate: First and foremost, keep it cold (freezer is best for unflavored base) and glass bottles look to be somewhat better than plastic.

Yep

I have heard nic salts oxidize more slowly? I still store mine just like regular nicotine, as I'd imagine that the nic would be degrading, even if it wasn't oxidizing. Really, nic salts are more similar to regular nic than they are different, IMO. Yes, there are some definite different effects, but really, for the most part you can use and handle them the exact same way (even mix the exact same way) as regular nicotine, though if someone wants to go higher and can't handle the throat hit, then this is where the interesting properties of nic salts come into play...

I tried an experiment last night, put in a fresh coil, filled my tank with unflavored and the irritation seems to have lessened slightly. I'm wondering where I can order a sample or smallish 10ml bottle of unflavored that won't have outlandish shipping, suggestions?

Nude Nicotine. And if you're a first-time customer, you can request a free sample (just pay a couple of bucks for shipping). I buy all my nic from them. Their smooth salts are wonderful and you can customize your order (PG/VG ratio, strength).

Nude nicotine is great. They will sell large or small quantities. I don't know where they are but stuff gets to me very quickly, even if shipped ground (due to larger quantities of nic). Yes, you can also customize your order re: nic strength, PG/VG mix, so even though it's technically "DIY" you are really letting them just sell you nic in the strength and ratio you'd desire. I'm not sure how small their quantities are, but I started pretty small with 60 mg of nic, and I think I might've been able to purchase even lower quantities (wanted a small amount to try before ordering a huge stash and etc. I don't think their pricing is terrible at all, though it may not be the cheapest out there, but they are hassle free and competitive within the market. I use their nic salts, not sure what "smooth" means and if it's nic salts or not but you can certainly purchase regular nicotine....

Good luck.

I don't know where they are

Right next door to me. SoCal.

I guess right next door to me, too, in the world of shipping. I think someone told me Amazon had a huge warehouse in CA, and that stuff gets here fast, too, often early (though I do have prime, I'm not sure I really need it for shipping time, though it's nice to have for lots of reasons....) Stuff from CA gets here quick. So, if you are farther away I guess I'd expect slightly longer shipping times. I've just never had a problem with it, although now that I'm drinking MOAR coffee, I am realizing that I actually mean Nicotine River, though I have heard good stuff about nude nicotine and they are pretty competitive in pricing, too. I might try NN just to see how their stuff compares (I am still convinced I need another gallon of nic to freeze... I am increasingly thinking this....)

Thanks @Katya - I just put in an order we'll see how it goes. I hate to load up since I currently use such a low mg of nic currently. I'll keep you posted - thanks again!

 

[Katya]

Let me know how you like it! I think their nic is super clean and mild tasting.

This is where i get my current nic from and very happy thus far, guess this is where i should get nic salts from. Gonna order some from them, though a little nervous handling 72mg

Really no need to be nervous. If you're not sure, just get a small 15 ml bottle and experiment. I always buy 100mg/ml nic from them because it's the most economical option. They have such wonderful selection (three different salts formulations). Small bottles are easy to handle.

If you decide you like it, wait for Black Friday--they usually have their big 30% off sale then. I only buy on Black Friday--their nicotine is expensive, but well worth it, IMO.

Thanks for the info, certainly interested in trying it. Black friday, might have to stock up

Looks like they shipped 3 days after you ordered. That's not unusual for them if they are busy. They have to mix your nic in the lab--they don't just grab it from the shelf. I'm sure it's in transit--stamps is not very good about their updates. Just my experience. Send them an email if you're concerned.

Good luck!
