Solid Nicotine?

[toolate]

I am interested in DIY and went through several posts. One thing is about where to get Nicotine concentrate. So I have this question: since Nicotine is solid in room temperature, why is there no vendor selling solid pure nicotine? Is it because solid nicotine is too unstable/dangerous and hence is banned to the general public? Basically, my question is this: suppose we can get solid nicotine and make nicotine solution by ourselves, wouldn't that make vaping even more cheaper?

Thanks!

PS. I am a newbie and no chemistry major. So please don't laugh after reading

No. Don't even think about it. Pure nicotine is a deadly poison and should only be used in an appropriately equipped laboratory by qualified technicians.

About the highest concentration used for DIY is 100 mg nicotine base, or 10% nicotine. I use it with care.

The DIY forum here at ECF is a useful resource.

Coincidentally I just recently spoke to a chemist about the solid nic. He told me that liquid nicotine as we buy it was dangerous enuff but the solid stuff was ultra dangerous- explosive, toxic lethal vapors. It's classified as "Super Toxic" and less than 7 drops is lethal.

I don't think it would be any cheaper than regular DIY !

i would defiantly want to stay clear of it even if it was available, i had a drop of 100mg on my arm one day for a minute when i was mixing and didn't realize it...made me very sick! couldn't imagine what 1000mg would have done to me.

Now I understand. It is much more costly since one needs to build a pharma lab first
