I DIY just a bit and I have so far just bought from Wizard Labs. I'm happy with the nicotine but I don't get much of the peppery-ness or bite from it. I don't have the Ice just the regular.

I like the peppery bite. Is there a different brand that has more of that? I don't want fishy or funky taste just the pepper.

I too desire that peppery hit from my nic, it has been elusive for me. In addition to the pepperiness it has a better TH. I had it in some premix I used to buy.

I ordered the mfs nic last month which was supposed to be good and when I got my shipping conformation there was a email that : yay we have a new clean process nic.....

Great once again super clean nic.. So I got 250 ml to vape before I can restock so hopefully we can nail down a good source for that heavy hitting nic.

Sure clean is good for fruity vapers but tobacco vapers like myself I think lean towards the strong, heavy TH, peppery nic.

I've since restocked and got the new nicotine as you also have but have not yet tried it. Have you tried it and if so can you give your opinion on it? Seeing your concern makes me wonder if I should open it up and sample it. I was hoping to avoid opening it because it has gone in the freezer as part of my long term reserve.

Yeah had it for a few weeks now. It's clean nearly no taste, very faint smell. Definately clean. I can see it storing well. I've vaped a couple tanks of it straight, 36 mg. not peppery at all, mine seems pretty weak on the nic side as well. My nic Could be off because it was their first batch or something. It was on preorder so it was probably made hastily. It vaped like 18-24.

I need that peppery nic to make my hangsen tobaccos pop.

Wow 36 vaping like 18 - 24 is a big difference. Have you tested the Nic? I'm going to have to break into my bottle and give it a try.

Here's a great thread on Nic comparisons, in it peppery taste is discussed. It's pretty long though.

Thanks! I'll check out the thread.

Nic at Myfreedomsmokes seems more peppery then Wizard labs but both venders have excellent NIC.

I'll keep MFS in mind. Thanks!

Hmmm. Interesting. More people must prefer not to have to have the pepper bite.



Might want to check out nudenicotine.com for your pure nic. I find that the higher the nic concentration, the more of that peppery throat hit you get.

Do you mean even after I cut it down to 18mg it would have more pepper or just if I up my final strength to something higher? I've been eyeing up Nude Nicotine. I was bummed when I missed their Black Friday sale. Thanks.

+1. I've had my 100mg for a while now and it's developed a strong smell. When mixed down and vaped tho, there's no hint of that strange odor. I contacted MFS and was told it is normal. Just to be safe I bought a small bar fridge with a freezer which I now keep the nic in.

When mine arrived it was clear and only had a hint of the usual nic smell. A few weeks later however, it developed a very strong and unpleasant odor. When mixed tho, there was no smell. I contacted MFS and was told this was "normal and nothing to worry about". Even so, I bought a bar fridge that has a small freezer in it so I put the nic in a zip lock and put it in the freezer. It's only been in there a few days and I used it yesterday and the bad smell has gone.

I did a search for peppery nic and some people were complaining about FSUSA ( freedomsmoke...). So it must be good:)

That's sometimes an issue. There have been many complaints about harsh or peppery tasting NIC but that don't mean it's bad NIC. It just means it's not right for those that don't like a strong throat hit. I myself like a strong throat hit. I did have one batch of NIC where the throat hit was very strong and I actually had to mix at a lower NIC strength then I normally vaped. It did concern me so I tested it and the NIC was 100mg as I ordered.

    Sorry Danny, I meant that it sounded good and peppery.

    And Happy New Year!

    No need to be sorry. I read no offence in your reply. I was actually agreeing with you. A stronger throat hit is also my prefered NIC. All I was saying is that some don't like a strong throat hit and some seem to think there's a problem when the NIC is actually OK. I sometimes ramble on and overstate things:)

    And happy New Year to you too.

    I am just starting out with DIY and am planning on primarily making tobacco based liquids, pipe tobacco cigars, flavored cigars, flavored pipe tobaccos, etc., and have been on the fence about peppery nicotine. I think I'd rather have purely tasteless nicotine and add my own peppery throat hit with an additive so I can better control the complete flavor profile. I ordered some 36mg PG nic from myfreedomsmokes and will be mixing later this month when all my flavors come in.
