Glance back at post #1217 of this thread.
If there is any way you can determine shipping charges in advance, let us know. We can then send you the money via Paypal.
PM is probably the best way to handle this...
Sending you my info this evening...
Nobody has given me a final recipe, please speak up! I intend to do this trial tomorrow evening and ship the results out on Friday.
If I dont hear anything I will make it like this:
(anything can be adjusted, just speak up)
50/50 PG/VG base
24 mg/l Nic
DRY4 7%
Caramel 2%
Cream 2%
Unless someone voices some other desire I will do the trial like this:
- Mix a 100ml batch of the above recipe.
- Put 30ml into 3 different glass bottles.
- Steep one bottle in the Ultrasonic at 150f for 3 hours
- Steep one bottle in the Crock Pot at 150f for 3 hours
- Dispense results into 10ml plastic bottles labeled: Control Sample (unsteeped), Sample A, and Sample B.
- Ship 3 sets of samples out the next day.
Still need the Postage and Addresses for the three samplers.........
EDIT:
NM.....heh
How goes the heat effects nic testing????
Sent from sector 13285 on my HTC One
As of 4PM on Sunday, 5/18/2014, the three sets of samples are traveling in the hands of the USPS to me.
Upon arrival, I will immediately ship a set to Danny45 and a set to Rocketpuppy for their review.
After each of us have posted our opinions, MikeP will tell us which sample was UC'd and which was crocked...

Its done, I just updated my blog post about it.
No doubt about it, heat degrades nicotine.
At 150F there was an 8% loss (possibly more - see my blog), at 175F it was a 10% loss. AT 125F there was only .8% loss so I will stick to that temp for my steepings. Somewhere between 125 and 150 it declines more rapidly.
BTW, I had a bonafide chemist review my test protocol and he said it "is sound".

Im sorry but your tests are wrong. He may have reviewed your protocol, but not your actual tests.
I have tested my nic at 150° and noted zero loss in potency. There is info on reddit with actual Lab analysis and spectrograph results. Others in these very forums have tested their juice as well with no noticeable drop in nic strength.
When I say no noticable drop here the highest drop Ive seen is 1mg, and only on one sample from others results. 8% is not in line with the data Ive seen.
While I understand and appreciate your research something is amiss here. You have an anomaly of some kind happening. Too many others cant be that wrong.
