No nicotine in an Ejuice I ordered specifically with nicotine?

[Geethmo]

I bought a Menthol flavor from a well known juice maker. I ordered it with 12mg of nicotine, and it even says 12mg on the bottle. But when I vape it, it has absolutely no throat hit (Unlike the other 12mg juices I've bought from them) and doesn't give me the same feeling I get when I use nicotine.

Is it possible that they forgot to put the nicotine in my juice? They seem like one of the most professional and popular juice makers out there, so I find it unlikely, but then again, It's not the same at all to a juice with nicotine...


Is it possible they messed up my juice? Anyone else have an experience like this?

They could have, it's a possibility. The other thing is, this juice may be juice with a much higher VG content than you're used to.

 

[crxess]

It happens.

Best bet, order a bottle of 24mg - or 18mg mix and re-split - 2x12 or 2x9mg

Probably was a Bottle mislabel

Does it have a ratio ( PG/VG ) on the bottle? More PG gives a stronger throat hit....More VG gives more vapor clouds.

 

[AzPlumber]

Mistakes happen but also keep in mind that certain flavorings and pg/vg ratio can effect the th

I always order with a 50/50 mix. Unless they completely messed up my order, its the same amount that I'm used to.

I ordered some 6mg juice once and when it got here, the bottle said "0 mg". I figure they just goofed the order. I guess a goof could occur at any point, so that even if the bottle is labelled 12mg, it might be actually 0mg. But what was said above is true, if it's very high VG, you might not have much TH. It's possible they got the nic right but goofed the PG/VG proportion.

ecigexpress.com has a nicotine testing kit for $6... I'm planning to get one since I'm starting the DIY thing; it sounds like something that might be useful to you.

You cannot return the ejuice?

 

[WillyZee]

mistakes happen ... same thing happened to me once.

try contacting the vender ... if they are worthy, they should make things right for you.

I've been wanting to try out DIY juice for a while now. More control over the juice seems like a good thing, especially now that I think the company messed up my order!

 

[uhhmoney]

After a couple crappy bottles from random smoke shops, i got fed up and now only deal with a local reputable shop. I've had no problems since.

 

[Warpigs]

I would contact the vendor and see if they can help ya out.

 

[Cullin Kin]

You could always just take the bottle to a local B&M. They may have a nic test kit, and I'm sure they would be glad to add nicotine to your juice.

The flavor itself also determines the TH. Far more so than the nic level.
Menthol itself, although very fresh to the nose and throat, has hardly any TH.
So if you comparing it to let's say tobacco flavors, which are usually designed to have th, menthol will have next to none.
I can mix a 3mg nic flavor that will make your throat hurt and a 36mg menthol that will feel like breathing polar wind.
Nicotine and TH might be somewhat related but the absence of either does not necessarily say anything about the other.

True! I keep seeing this all over the forum, that nicotine determines TH, but I haven't found it true; my ADV Virginia from MyFreedomSmokes has TH at 6mg that I can't stand when I first wake up; I have to vape some fruity stuff for an hour after I get up before I can handle the TH in the Virginia. To me what *really* determines TH is the amount of PG -- I tried MFS' VG-Blend of this Virginia when they ran out of the PG-Blend, and it had almost no TH at all.

Yep it happens. I was thinking recently one of the bottles I got has MORE nic in it then I wanted even though the bottle is marked only 6mg.

 

[Scy123]

I've vape all kinds of strengths and it's pretty noticeable when they are lower strength. Especially 0mg, It's like breathing air!

 

[DreamWithin]

I'll second the advice given here to contact the vendor. Mistakes do happen once in a while

If it's a particular juice you've never tried before, perhaps all the other variables that contribute to throat hit all align in a way that when combined there is virtually no TH. I've experienced that before and actually have a couple of juices that I've ordered multiple times that I love the flavor of, but have absolutely NO throat hit, even though I vape 18mg

Like others have mentioned contact the vendor. I now my go to vendor would send me new bottle no questions asked. BTW you showed real class not mentioning the vendor by name. Good luck!
