All my nic is vg except maybe one or two liters of mixed.
I guess I always chose PG Nic because I heard it was easier to work with. Something about VG hotspots? No idea if that is true or not. I guess I'll wait a few days and see if Heartland gets any PG in. If not, then I will buy one liter of the VG Nic.

Do you folks generally buy PG or VG based nic? I've only ever purchased PG Nic.
VG as I don’t use PG cause I’m sensitive to it. I get enough PG in the flavorings. I bought a small bottle of PG but I have never used it. I found two more gallons of VG in the basement just now. That brings me to 4.5 gallons once I get my heartland order. I vape a lot so I use a lot. :rolleyes:

I’m kicking myself. I had a box down there where I bought some bottles for nic and it had the cardboard separators. I threw it away the other day. Sometimes I get in these frenzied moods where I just start chucking stuff. I saved it for months but it didn’t make the chuck cut and now I may need it if I order more nic. Maybe I won’t...we’ll see. Oh well. I did keep the bag full of bubble wrap. I must not have seen it or it would be gone as well...:lol:

    I’ve never noticed any hotspots. I thought I read somewhere that vg nic is supposed to stay good longer.

    So I noticed the HHV juices have a lot of separation and they are so full I can't shake them. What to do...what to do. I don't want to transfer them to a larger bottle and I don't want to heat these in a warm bath. I think I'll just keep moving them upside down and back up to see if I can get them shaken.
    If you have time, just take each one and tip it upside-down, tip it back up... over and over. It's nice they don't have a lot of air (because of oxidation) but I'd rather have a little "headspace" for shaking.

    It's funny you mention bubble wrap. I bought some the other day in order to wrap my bottles that I have in the freezer. I'd seen other folks suggest it, so I thought it might be a good idea. I'm not sure it it because I am clumsy, or because the bottles were frozen and kind of slick, but I found it incredibly frustrating to try to wrap the bottles. I decided to skip the bubble wrap idea for now.

    Yep, that’s what I’ve been doing. That little bubble floats up and then down. I forgot about my HHV juice being all chatty today! :w00t:

    I get it in VG. Only reason is when I first decided to buy nic I read a post where someone said it might last longer. No idea if that's true but the VG worked fine for me so I stuck with it.

    That's good. I honestly don't even know what is meant by hotspots, but it seemed like something I wanted to avoid.

    I’m not sure what I bought that used them, but I have bubble wrap that is like a bag where you just slip the bottle inside. Perfect for nic.

    I remember now...I think I bought Boston bottles that were wrapped in the bubble bags.

    Now that would be useful. My bottles were not wrapped in something like that.

    I've never had butter rum, in fact, I'm not even sure what it is. However, butter rum and butterscotch both have "butter" in the name. And butter is good. So I say go for it!
    My understanding is butterscotch is caramel while butter rum is what the name implies. That reminds me... need to add those to my wishlist.

    I use pg based nicotine.. I've read that people who use vg based nicotine run a risk of spontaneous combustion. Having watched the spontaneous combustion episode of Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack when I was 9 years old scared the crap out of me. I have nightmares of my wife having to bury a hairy leg in a tennis shoe because that is all that's left of me.
