Has anyone used their nic before. I read the blurb about palm oil and just wasn't sure if that's what I want. The coupon code makes it a good deal though.

When I started buying it I did some research. Apparently palm oil is a good source for our use. There are some other sources that can have dodgy chemicals in them, OK for other uses but not for us. I forget the details.

I don't know anything about this supplier though.

Bulk Apothecary is having a Mother's Day sale until midnight...with everything 16% off, using coupon code MOM. That makes a gallon of their USP Kosher Grade VG and a gallon of their USP Grade PG...$26.82 before S/H costs. S/H to me from OH by FedEx Ground was $12.59. Might vary depending on where you are.

@englishmick - What's below was taken directly from the website for Nude Nicotine Extended Shelf Life V2 Nic Base. The underlining/bold was added by me for emphasis.

I'm going to call and talk with 1 of the owners of Nude Nic tomorrow for further confirmation of the details below. We've talked before, like when he called me on a Sunday last month to answer a question I had! (Now that's Customer Service above & beyond!) Gave me his direct number to call anytime with any future concerns or questions. So, I'll doublecheck on this, but it looks "good to go" to me!

Here's the info:

"Patented technology (not ours – we’d be millionaires if so) for the inlet seal allows a luer-slip syringe tip to be inserted through the septum into the bottle and draw large quantities of solution, even 100% VG solutions. We have tested this with 1, 5, and 10mL luer slip syringes, all with great success. The largest bottle size, however, we were able to utilize without vacuum issues and internal volume problems was the 500mL size (unfortunately no 1L variation yet). The 1L size started to crack under the vacuum pressure in a few tests, even with the thick and sturdy glass bottle. Please understand our limiting to the 500mL maximum aliquot size for safety in handling concerns.

Simply insert the included 1mL or 10mL luer slip syringe into the opening, turn the bottle upside down, then draw the required amount into the syringe! The adapter will self-seal immediately upon removal of the syringe tip.

Thus Nude Armor v2.0 will be packaged in single 120mL, 250mL, and 500mL amber glass aliquots with the self-sealing luer-lock adapter affixed under the hermetically-sealed cap. When shipped, no argon will be necessary to purge the empty volume inside the bottle as a vacuum system in the laboratory will remove all atmospheric content (vacuum) prior to shipment. In addition, a 1 and 10mL luer-slip syringe will be included with your shipment for use to extract solution.

Our Nude Armor v2.0 base is perfect for the consumer looking to store their nicotine base for extended periods of time with a need to frequent access to a single bottle at a mixing station, all while being keen to ensure their nicotine base is in its purest state, free of oxidation products or degradation from storage.

Ensure your nicotine is of the finest quality, and kept in a cGMP laboratory-approved storage solution! Choose Nude Armor v2.0!"

So, what do y'all do? Leave a little "expansion" room in the jar when you freeze the nic? I usually buy 2-3 120ml bottles (plastic) and keep 1 out for use and the others in the back of the fridge. I probably go through a bottle in about a month and a half. Not for myself, mind you but, for folks I "trade" with. :D

VG ang PG do not expand when frozen or refrigerated, they actually contract so freezing is no problem.

It's a chemistry thing.

Reading more about nic storage - I don't want to be careless or flippant so I'll ask here. I have no way to store in a freezer. I live in an RV so storage space is limited to begin with...If I wanted to buy quantity to last years - would keeping it stored in a dark cabinet be ok? I'm not too concerned with degrading nic%.

How would you store nic if you didn't have a freezer? Glass or plastic? Smaller bottles vs larger. PG or VG base? Right now - I have a few bottles of 120ml nic - it has become darker over the months but I do not notice a smell or "vape" difference.


edit - of course I'm talking about 100mg nic

The problem with VG / PG and of course Nic is they all oxidize.

They are also sensitive to light, Photosensitive.

If you use brown bottles or place the bottles in a "cool / dark" place the mixtures will last very well.

Ideally brown bottles or opaque dark colored plastic is best, then the cool / dark will work well.

Keep in mind cool is considered below 72 F so the cooler the better.

Keep as much as possible in the fridge or freezer if you can.

The Oxidization causes the PG / VG to yellow and slowly break down, the Nic weakens; over time it can also take on a bitter taste...

The above takes quite a while if stored using the cool / dark method; how long...that really depends on the temperature.

Oh man that bites. So sorry it didn't work for you. It did work for me this morning. They do offer a free sample and all you pay is for shipping. And I just looked at their website and it still has the coupon showing until midnight May 9. Don't know whats up with that.

Anyway, while I was having fun the other night I promised a recipe a day, well I think I had too many drinks for the day:cry: But not wanting to back out of my word I will post a few more for the next days that I have. Here is my take on ANML Carnage. Or at least a decent Twizzlers type.
8.5% Red Vines (TFA)
2% Cotton Candy (TFA)
3.5% Strawberry (TFA)
2% Marshmallow (TFA)
You can play around with the Strawberrys of choice and the percentages to taste. I used Strawberry Ripe first and found the reg Strawberry seems to be better for a candy. pretty much a S&V.

Hey, everyone. With the new FDA regs, I've decided to jump into DIY. Once I sat down and did some research and the math on costs, I had a facepalm moment... Srsly, should have jumped in sooner.

Anyway, got everything I need on order, including a handful of flavors from TFA. I've never mixed my own juice, so I'm expecting there to be a learning curve. Figured I'd get plugged in this thread. Once I get all my materials, I'll probably be popping up to ask advice.

    I got the coupon for Chemnic to work last night. However something weird happened and it kicked me out and I had to log back in. When I did, I checked out but realized after that it doubled my order. I emailed them and hope they can fix it.

    Oh my, I sure hope they will help. On one of the reviews I read on their website said something about them helping to correct their order. Fingers crossed they treat all their customers in the same manner.

    It's not a huge deal if they don't. I'll just end up with two liters instead of one. I've been working out of the same 500ml bottle of 36mg for about six months now and have only gone thru about half and less than that of my left over 250ml bottle of 36mg pg. A liter of 100mg will last me a very long time. My intent right now is to freeze almost all of the liter and keep using out of what I have left.

    Likewise for me also. I am keeping out a small sample to test tho, and I am interested in the vg they sell also.

    I haven't ordered any gallon sizes of vg or pg yet. The biggest I've gotten so far is 500ml. I saw essential depot has a deal where you can get a gallon of each with free shipping. I don't know if their price is a good deal or not but free shipping can't hurt. I haven't really priced gallons yet to see what is a good price. One other thing I was thinking about was storage of pg and vg. I would assume those don't have to be frozen like the nic?
