The other day I mixed up some e liquid. I used some salt nic. Bad idea. I tried it before but only a few puffs. I brought a tank of it to work Monday night I found out I'm allergic/bad response to salt nic. I have taken two days off from work. N/V (nausea/vomiting) in addition to ripping up my throat. I was expectorating blood. Lesson learned. Work sucks but it sucks more now than ever. I was trying to increase my nic level. It must be a chemical in the salt nic that dries out the throat

Oh my how horrible! I just researched salt nic and the article said some people do have reactions to the benzoic acid in the salt nic. I bought 120 ml from Heartland and I saw no difference from regular nic. I vaped all of it without incident. I just wanted to try it out. Take care!

yeah probably a bad reaction to whatever acidic they used...it’s not always benzonic but typically it is...they use different acidics to lower the ph balance of the nicotine....and well nic salt is naturally found in cigs.
Sorry for your bad reaction
I prefer salt nic even though I only vape at 1.5mg because I don’t like a throat hit...so max vg + salt nic for me

kind of a pita though, if not carefully the bottles can fall out, will need to add some cardboard or something to the backs of the shelves

At 1.5 mg of nicotine, I doubt that you would get throat hit from freebase nic.

Almost 300 messages. Man hope you guys are all OK I am not finding out. :I am doing yoga in five I had a work/'doc/med sleep meltdown requiring some intervention. Oy.

It sucked. I'm okay today. The government is complicated but they do give you time to get oriented. Too busy. The addicts like me. This has always been the case. If I grabbed every addict I aided who helped me we could do some damage. I am not in damage mode there is ENOUGH.

My beautiful purple Asmodus whatever came Apart form FT what they send me that's kind of it.

LOL I hope it is something SO large (vape related) it don't fit through the door.

    I got the Swag 2 that I won today. The metal top with the drip tip came off the atty. :( Rather than try and get a new one, as it was a freebie, I got some E6000 glue and stuck it back on. I have to wait 24 hours for the glue to cure, so I won't know if I like it until tomorrow. First impressions, it's not my thing, but we'll see.

    Hoping you will end up liking it cause the price is certainly right :)

    If you are worried about it then you should buy some regular nic.
    I'm not worried about it. I have never thought vaping risk free. Salts or freebase. These flavors or those. All carry risks. Fretting about them is very low on my list of concerns, especially these days.

    It seemed strange to open my mailbox and there not be a package inside today. I’m down to 2-3 packages left on the way.

    After my splurge a couple of weeks ago I started going through withdrawals. Watching the mailman pull up wasn't fun anymore. I may need to order something so the nausea goes away.

    My shelves are a little different than yours, but I use those foam packing peanuts to fill up space between the bottles. I cut them in half. It keeps the bottles standing up. Just wedge them in. Easy to take out.

    If I were you, @Redbird11, I'd wrap those bottles in bubble wrap or set them in boxes with dividers or something. Or both. Better safe than sorry.
    I agree about the wrap. Originally, my plan was to use the bubble wrap the bottles were delivered with. But the wrap was too thick and would take up too much space. I am going to get some thinner bubble wrap in the next week or so.

    I do plan on grabbing some more nic. I wanted to see how much space I had to work with in the freezer before I grabbed any more. There are currently 5 liters in there, and they are pretty spaced out too. I'll probably wait until next month to order some more and take advantage of the colder temperatures.

    Interesting - What size bottles are you using?

    It took 15 8oz bottles for 4 liters of NIC - which 10 took up the whole bottom of the freezer . . . And the other 5 bottles on the top shelf leaving just enough room for approximately another 10 - 15 8oz bottles . . . :blink:
