VG, something about what Kurt said a long time ago sharing his experience with long term storage. I have purchased it in PG before but had a bad experience


Long Term Nic Storage
My major objection to 100% VG is its viscosity, which makes obtaining a well-mixed solution difficult. At least for me. I shake and shake, but always have doubts...

Okay, I know there are some who don't like the fried liver and onions but it is a favorite of mine.
I have a feeling we’re by far the minority on liver and onions. Love that, and fried chicken livers too.

    Not sure why but I’m feeling kind of silly today. Not sure why. My boss didn’t say one word about me getting the shot or ask how it went. I’m sure he’s .... hurt that I didn’t come back to work yesterday. I really don’t care. He’s off three days again next week to go to California to see his wife.

    When I was in high school, I worked at a home style restaurant as a cook. I had to prepare chicken livers when someone ordered them and hated the smell.

    Chicken livers quickly sautéed with onions and apples are delicious. Beef liver has this horrible metallic taste--too much iron.

    Oh, I don’t cook them. They reek to me until they’re done. Same for lamb. There’s a little neighborhood hole in the wall across town that makes sinfully good fried livers. Every so often my MIL and I will go pick some up for lunch. She’s the only other person around me that likes them.

    I think I prefer PG because it's less thick too. I guess I will wait a couple more days to see if Heartland gets any PG in. Then, if not, I will grab some VG nic.

    Most is from Heartland. Some is from MFS but was purchased before they jacked their prices way up.
    Good to know. Now, do you keep your nicotine close to your stash of vape gear? Or is it in different part of the house? Just curious. It's not like I am doing any recon or anything.

    Just don't wait too long. I spoke with a couple of nicotine purveyors in my area and they are absolutely overwhelmed--stuff is flying of the shelves, they don't even know if they will be able/willing to restock. And PG is the new toilet paper. ;)

    I was just trying to help you out.

    Actually with the liter I ordered, I’ll have about 11.5
    See! We are neck and neck, but you surpassed me by quarter a liter. :lol:

    I think Anna stocked, gosh what...30 liters or something? But she’s still a youngin.

    At 3 mg, 30 ml per day, mine will last until I’m 90 and I’m 55 now. But I vape mostly 1.5 mg but my ABC is 2 mg. I may try to go up a notch to see if my consumption decreases (I doubt it).

    Liquid Nicotine Wholesalers has nicotine with PG in stock now. It may be more expensive since you have to pay shipping. It's a matter of if you wanting to be sure of getting the nicotine you want and paying a premium to get it, versus the wait and see.

    I was traveling through Louisiana one time and had some of the best chicken livers ever.

    I have around 9 liters plus some little bottles. I just decanted the liter I received from Heartland today and broke down a liter from RTS vapes from 2014 to use I do have some smaller bottles I'm not counting. 1 out of the 9 I highly doubt using since its mud and smelly and the replacement IDK it turned dark and smelly as well.
    One of my liters is also the dark one which is another reason I decided to get more. I noticed today I’m down to two 8 oz bottles of the first nic I bought from WL in 2014 and I stored it as 60% nicotine. Back then nicotine scared me so I diluted it with VG (or did I buy it as 60%?...don’t remember). I know the 50% I used to have was diluted with VG before I froze it. Everything else is a year or less old.
