    Don't pipette that by mouth! :)

    I don't pipette any nicotine by mouth, and it will be diluted before I actually work with it. A mouthful of nicotine is not how I want to get my fix. :)

    If everything is on the up and up then you must be living right! :thumb: Congrats!

    I did go to church every day for Lent.:) The shipping fee wasn't nominal, as it was a hazmat fee. I had to pay it initially, but they would've had to pay it two times, once to send the stuff back and again to send me my stuff. That would eat into the price difference quite a bit. As far as testing, I'm going to go on faith, as i dont have the means for testing. If I'm wrong it'll be years in the future before I know.

    I did mix some and do like it. Can't find my little paper. What % did you use for the Bumbleberry? I think I did 2% but not sure

    I think you did 2%. I use 3% in mine.

    There are many articles and warnings about handling nic that high. Extreme danger Will Robinson!!!

    I agree! IMO, I also don't think it would be wise to store it in very large capacity glass bottles. Can you imagine the danger if 1 of them accidently broke? I'd think even 4oz. bottles of it would be risky. Wouldn't a hazmat cleanup company have to be called and do their thing...before anyone could even safely be in the house again without full hazmat gear on?

    Interesting. Still too many ingredients for me, but if it's a good replica of Ahlusion's original, I might be tempted to to try.

    @Skeebo Is this the one you tried?

    It's definitely not the one I tried. I don't have those mangoes or the creamy yogurt.

    Yep.

    Classy has a very stern warning here: Mixing pure nicotine

    "There is a very real danger of hospitalization or worse with this material ..."

    I would not be comfortable handling it without a proper respirator, fume hood and the appropriate lab gear and attire.

    There are many articles and warnings on the web about handling nic that high.

    Extreme danger Will Robinson!!!

    A long time ago I read all of those, and took the warnings to heart. I never wanted to mess with anything stronger then 100MG/ML. I realize that if you go stronger you have saved some space, it was never worth the risk to me. :|

    Today I have received two calls from a robot telling me an Amazon order totaling $399.99 had been placed in my name and I should call (313) 263-6539 if I didn't recognize the order. Reverse phone lookup told me the number belongs to Edwin James Theisen, Allen Park, MI 48101. I wonder if he knows his number is being used in a scam or he's just a really stupid scammer.

    That's terrifying. Everybody everywhere is being hacked/scammed all the time, or so it seems.

    100 mg/ml scared me. I left it in my garage untouched for a year back in 2014. Then when I got the courage I wore long sleeves and pants, a mask and gloves, by an open window, when my son was not home, and I cut it down to 50 mg/ml to store. :laugh: I still have a healthy respect for it, but I’m not as scared now.

    Yes, I would think so. I know I don't have the expertise to try cleaning it up properly. Or to get rid of the fumes. Might make it worse and cost me even more.

    I still get emails from Muhammar Gaddafi's daughter trying to embezzle a million dollars into my personal bank account. I checked out the exchange rate and it's really not worth my time. I hear that kind of money changes a person.
    That reminds me, I should be hearing back from my friend the Nigerian Prince any day now.

    I am one of the rare people left who don't have caller ID. My system is, if I say hello and someone doesn't reply right away, I hang up.

    I do have caller ID and I never pick up a call from an unknown number anymore. If someone really needs to talk to me, they'll leave a message and I can deal with it accordingly.

    Handling and Personal Protection
    Nicotine solutions should not be handled without the proper training and personal protection.
    Personal protection includes: Eye protection or faceshield, respirator, liquid/chemical resistant gloves, liquid/chemical resistant coveralls or apron, liquid/chemical resistant shoe covers or boots.
    Additional recommended safety equipment includes: Fume hood, liquid/chemical resistant catch basin, emergency shower and eyewash station.

    Minimum recommended Personal Protection for Nicotine solutions up to 50mg/ml include: Liquid/chemical resistant gloves, safety glasses or goggles, particle mask for nose and mouth.

    Minimum recommended Personal Protection for Nicotine solutions from 50mg/ml up to 100mg/ml include: Liquid/chemical resistant gloves, safety glasses or goggles, particle mask for nose and mouth, liquid/chemical resistant sleeves or coverall.

    Minimum recommended Personal Protection for Nicotine solutions above 100mg/ml include: Liquid/chemical resistant gloves, faceshield and head cover, organic vapor respirator, liquid/chemical resistant coveralls, liquid/chemical resistant shoe covers or boots.


    Except for the respirator, I'll be following all of these as close as possible. You will also note that a lot of this equipment is technically required for 100mg/ml, yet nobody ever suits up for that. I'll be fine, guys. I've worked in a lab with chemicals before I went to med school.
