Pure nicotine? Where does the nicotine come from?

[CES]

so, being harsher than i usually am on this forum as i jump into this thread for the first time...

Anyone who doesn't have the expertise to look up the chemicals and the storage directly, the chemistry to understand the difference between purity and concentration, and the lab equipment to do the mixing, SHOULD NOT be making nicotine solutions from scratch.

Does dissolving nic base into PG (or VG- or possibly an easily removed low b.p. solvent) decrease, or increase stability (I imagine oxidation would be greatest threat).

Theoretically if one was going to try to lay in a supply of nic base before FDA takes control and tries to stamp it out- would the best long term storage plan be to mix up nic/PG (say in liters of 100mg/ml- and then break down from there as needed), or just mix nic into PG as needed? Meaning- do the solvents (or do ANY solvents) provide any protection from degradation? Or is this an unknown variable at this time?

Thnx

I think the solvent (PG) does offer a measure of protection. I've been doing a lot of miscellaneous testing, and their are still more variables at work than I'm able to get my mind around.
