Nude Nicotine 2.0 - Chemically Validated Nicotine Base and eLiquid - Ask your NN Chemistry-Related Questions Here

Glass bottles will be on their way shortly to start, and many more DIY items to come, especially syringes as you noted

Are you mixing in the 30mL droppers you are using or separate conicals?

Everything is dispensed straight into the droppers. I then put them through two or three warm water bath (less than coffee temp water from the microwave) with a few shakes now and then, and then let them blend for a couple of days before vaping. I'd really like one of those test-tube shakers, but it's way low on the list. I'm sure I'll DIY a shaker tray eventually; I'll also use it for casting resin blanks for woodworking.

I bought an assortment of 3ml, 6ml & 12ml high quality Luer Lock Monoject syringes dirt cheap from
Drs. Foster and Smith - Monoject syringes
I've used them with plenty of tank crackers with no visible damage. Just rinse soon after use.

It's not so much the visible damage that's the problem. Certain flavors seem to make the rubber seal swell up, causing it to stick and jump. I've got 1ml of PG on the ceiling next to the light fixture to prove it

My wife was sitting right there, watching TV and reading a book. I was mixing in the kitchen. The two rooms are separated by a bar height counter. I drew up a bit of plain PG to prime the 3ml needle. While trying to get the air bubble out (syringe pointed up, flicking the side, and trying to lightly depress the plunger), the plunger stuck and suddenly gave way, ejecting about 1ml of PG.
She never even looked up while I got the step ladder out and cleaned off the ceiling.
Ah well, at least I got the air bubble out.
And I learned a lesson: paper towel over the end of the needle when doing things like this.

Man that's not a bad deal AT ALL! Actually really close to what I'm paying now for wholesale. Hmmmmmmm

What???? Is it too late to change the shipping option from my order a couple hours ago? I could buy a lot more flavoring with the $9 difference

Congrats to ECF member 'yellowsnow' for winning our eliquid chemistry set giveaway this morning!

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...our-eliquid-laboratory-win-chemistry-set.html

And as I promised, this won't be the last eliquid chemistry-related giveaway we do. What would you guys like to see next?

First off I want to say a huge Thank You to Jake and NN for this fantastic contest. Jake even though we have never met you make it feel like an old friend, that says a lot. Your participation and helpfulness on ECF is remarkable. Second thanks to everyone one on the congrats for winning. When I get something worth posting on the TBA I will certainly post, may even post a pic all decked out in the new PPE.
It has been a blast.

Thanks again,

And don't eat the yellowsnow!

It's our pleasure! We can't wait to see photos - especially if they are of you all decked out in PPE! That would be AWESOME!

And don't worry, no snow in San Diego

First I'd like to say that I've read all 7 pages of this thread and found that Jake has an attitude towards business that other vendors should look to as a model. Your willingness to be open about your product shows your confidence in it; and your request for feedback in a public forum is something I've rarely seen (since you can't really control what gets posted). Even if your prices were considerably higher than others I'd still be more likely to order from you just based on your candor with the members here. It makes you seem more personable instead of being just a few faceless drop-down menus and a bunch of numbers or text.

Now, to my point. I'm just now delving into the DIY liquid game, but have been making my own mods for a while now. Based on my experiences trying to find parts and tools needed to build them, I must say that the more you can offer in one place the better. One of the biggest reasons is shipping cost. I go to one site for batteries, one for this part, one for that part, and countless others for the rest.

How many of you would be interested in seeing Nude Nicotine carry laboratory-sourced eLiquid DIY supplies for you to pair with your orders? Like if you do, or comment why/why not!

Thinking of stocking up on various nicotine-approved plastic containers, glass storage bottles, measurement-wares, etc

The whole eCig liquid market is still fairly young as well as small, and you could take advantage of that by carrying everything one would need for DIY creations. I mean from protective gear to storage and everything in between, including flavorings etc.

Flavoring is something we could consider down the road as well. They are proprietary Nude Nicotine chemistries, and we would want to make sure we are ready to release them to the public for their own DIY use before we make the move

If you don't want to give up your proprietary recipes, don't, and no ill feelings for not doing so. The base concentrates would be enough, if people wanted to modify a flavor they could and should buy the original formula and work from there. If you have your own custom made bases (like banana completely from scratch) and want to keep it secret simply re-sell others. If I find a flavor of yours that just can't be beat I have no issues with buying it for use in modifying others. Maybe consider selling them without nicotine for use as a PG/VG base.

Anyway, to avoid being even more wordy I'll just say kudos to you and your exemplary business ethic.

Got my NudNic 100mg, nice! This is what I had expected good nic to smell and taste like. Had some bumpy experiences with smelly stuff, but this is great stuff.

Jake, Australia is crying out for this stuff, I am going there for an extended period and the options are getting Chinese nic, or only 48 or lower or smelly stuff there.

The market is crying out for it.

From the bottom of all of our hearts at Nude Nicotine, thank you! We really try to be as transparent as we can be with our chemistry and business as a whole as we can be; glad others view this as the honesty and passion we truly have toward this industry and not just a marketing ploy.

I regards to an interesting point you had about flavorings:

-I am in the process of packaging our flavorings to be sold as concentrated-flavors-only. And You bring up a VERY interesting point; one that I was discussing with a colleague the other night. We really would like to keep the flavors proprietary, as to release them in premade 'blends' - i.e. 'Banana Cream Pie' concentrated flavor, rather than the banana, cream, and other flavors separately. Do you personally see a market large enough to do so? For preserving our chemistries, this is the best move for us; but we want to be keen to how the public would be using our flavorings.

PG and VG are to be added to our inventory in the next few days, as well as a few DIY items as well to start Specifically for the PG and VG, what sizes would you all like to see added? We had thought 500mL and 1L aliquots would be best.

Glad you're enjoying it Did you dilute some down and do an unflavored taste-test? Hmmmmmm..... this gives me an idea for an AWESOME promotion.

Re: Australia shipping - our merchant contract at the moment only allows for shipping within the US for nicotine products. For the future, I see two foreign markets in our attack plan: Australia and the UK. Know that this site in our mind as a plan within the near future; however at the moment we cannot ship our nicotine-related products outside of the 50 US states It really pains me not to be able to offer this service at the moment because yes, I see a MASSIVE market in both places. We have had to turn down numerous international contracts that would have allowed Nude Nicotine to expand immenslely

I'd consider doing it both ways if possible. For the folks who just wanna vary up the potency of the mix they're covered, and for the folks who just ran out of cream flavoring they can order some of that. If folks want to spend hours and dollars trying to replicate your recipe, they're just going to go to another supplier, and why lose that business?

I'm very new to DIY, but I've already ordered both basic single flavors and complex flavors. Maybe it'll shake down that I only prefer one or the other, but for now I'm trying everything!

Plan at the moment is to release them as blends and see how that fares Just placed the work order for large stock batches to be made of all of our concentrated flavorings. New custom refrigerator is on its way this week to store the stock of flavorings, and it looks like we will be set for release sometime next week. I plan on also adding a good amount of DIY items to the site at that time as well. Look for a nice coupon for all of my ECF guys and gals as well! A business owner couldn't ask for a more responsive, attentive customer base

 

[thejaker]

Our 100mg/mL products and nicotine bases are back in stock! We also added a feature that allows you to keep in touch with product status updates through our Nude Nicotine Laboratory Newsletter - The Chemists Corner:

Nude Nicotine Chemist's Corner Newsletter

We apologize for the delays with this last week's orders as well. We have been out of the laboratory for the Jewish High Holidays, but now all are back in the lab, suited up, and working hard! Recent high increases in demand have stretched us pretty thin, but we've tapped into auxiliary supply lines to help us keep afloat

 

[thejaker]

As a thank you to all of our loyal Nude Nicotine customers who have supported us thus far, we would like to extend FREE SHIPPING to our entire customer base for a limited time. The coupon code nn100mgfreeship can be applied to our concentrated nicotine products! Please pass the word onto your friends and colleagues; we hope that all are able to take advantage of our free shipping coupon.

Thank you for all of your support! Individuals on ECF, locals in San Diego, nation-wide supporters, you know who you are! And we greatly appreciate all that you have done to help instill public confidence and respect for the Nude Nicotine brand.

just ordered my first flavors and base liquid from you guys yesterday. Wanted to post because I really enjoyed your website and am excited to be on the verge of my own diy liquid. I have been vaping for awhile and have grown frustrated w/ slight differences in the same juices ordered over and over again. If a mistake is made I want to be the one to blame, so thanks for your product, I'm looking forward to seeing and tasting the NN product

You'd hope that vendor isn't changing the formulation on you (maybe it's just steep time), but do what I wish every vaper would do: take control and DIY! Thank you very much for your order by the way! If you check back at our site within the coming week, we will be adding all of our flavored eliquids in concentrate form for your DIY purposes
