Have you received your order from Nicotine River yet?

I just received a 500ml jug of 250mg nic from NR. Holding it over a light bulb the liquid appears to be quite amber. Batch: 03182019-02-VG
That’s old!!

Maybe stick to 100mg. That is a fast mover and they probably turn their inventory quicker vs 250.

My reading time here is somewhat limited, so I don't know if it's been discussed recently, but I've been here...awhile, and I remember there were/are folks doing tobacco extractions.
Is anyone doing that anymore?

I had commented earlier that cigars will most likely always be safe, that kind of reminded me of the tobacco extracting threads in DIY.

Not bringing it up to get deep into that type of conversation here, that's more for the DIY section, but wanted to mention it because I've seen a few people post that they haven't been able to stock up.

Not a flavor I'd want, but I think if I had to, I could make it work.

Just trying to help think of options.:2c:

    The product description for it has the following assurances which are absent from the 100mg product descriptions. So I felt pretty confident in placing the order.

    All bottles are nitrogen packed
    All bottles are foil sealed
    All blends are made to order fresh
    Nicotine is stored at -10 degrees

    I would contact the vendor to see what they say. I also wonder if pg/vg matters in the color of the nic. I also wonder if the higher concentration of 250 mg/ml would matter in the color. Or different batches. Wizard Labs says their nic could have a slight yellow color. Does it have a bad smell? It doesn’t look like yours was made fresh to order. It could have oxidized during transit as well. I would email or call the vendor.

    It doesn’t help either that they are using some kind of slow boat fedex shipping for free shipping orders. Mine shipped on Wednesday and isn’t scheduled until Tuesday. I ordered from heartland with free shipping and had it in two days.

    Are we allowed to talk about nic above 100mg/ml now? I was gone for some time so I really don't know.
    It got bumped to 200 mg/ml some time ago. See Rule 35d:
    Forum Rules

    But I think this might qualify for the "in passing" defense.

    I will email them, but I don't think they'd be there over the weekend and I'd like to see what others are receiving.

    Can't say about the smell as I didn't want to break the seal until I hear what they have to say.

    Should be here Monday. I use salts so don't worry about a little color as they are seldom as clear as freebase. Especially during the warmer times of year.

    OK, I'm all confused. Ecigexpress is gone

    Not as far as I can tell: Ecigexpress . . . They did have a huge sale recently of 50%-75% on most products, but especially NIC . . . So - All their Nic products are now sold out, and as far as I know and what the chat agent told me - they have no intention of restocking given the DOH regulation's now enacted in WA . . . However, it seems they are still selling Flavor Concentrates, Additives, and Bottles . . . Matter of fact, they are offering a 25% on Flavor Art use code; FLAVOURART25


    Or there is also a 10% OFF code (except for Capella Flavors) until 10/18/19: FLAVORTIME

    Ya' can always find more information on their website or right here on ECF:

    BTW: They now offer free shipping to the lower continental 48 states for orders $49.99 and above!

    Also I am not sure, however it looks like there might possibly be a name change or working as, if you look at "About Us" ya' will see the name: Flavor Jungle

    Hope this information is Helpful . . . ;)

    Yeah I just got a few containers of 100mg/ml nic from a NZ supplier. I noticed one of them was straw coloured when I decanted. I spose quality control gets patchy when customers go into panic buying mode and the retailers get more orders than usual.

    Batch made 03182019. So yeah, that's been sitting for months! I'd be calling customer service. Appears they may be getting rid of old stock. :nah:

    If all the above is true then my vote is the higher mg must just naturally have some yellowing but disappears when diluting it down to lower levels. As long as the smell is faint that too disappears with dilution. :)

    The combination of color and a date almost seven months ago from a site that claims
    All blends are made to order fresh
    is disturbing.

    It's certainly fine to mix and vape but I'd move it to the front of the stockpile to be used earlier rather than later. Just like NR should have done with their inventory.
