Vaping "aged" nicotine liquid... Love it!

[jcoopercam]

I've got 2 x bottles of Carolina 100mg PG liquid, both about 1 year old. I started mixing liquids with it today, and noticed that the nicotine mixture has begun to oxidize. This liquid is normally clear, but has begun to take-on a sort-of orange hue.

I mixed 2 x 60ml bottles of Mothers Milk, and 2 x my RY4 w/cheesecake and coffee. The oxidized nicotine liquid gives these liquids a tobacco-like throat hit that I haven't gotten since I quite smoking. It's the one thing that I've always missed about smoking. I could get this when mixing my liquids at 18mg, but never at 3mg.

I keep my liquids in the refrigerator, but I'm thinking I could maybe accelerate the oxidization process, by leaving the liquids unsealed?

I think this marks the first time anybody has ever said anything nice about oxidized nicotine. I'm sure it's reassuring for those of us with lifetime supplies stashed away.

I've rarely refrigerated mine. Often my fingers have that smell like I just had a smoke. If mine was concentrated to 100mg/ml it would probably be quite colored. I've only ever ordered ready mixed to 12 tho.

The liquid was clear when I made a batch of 18mg liquids, but that was months ago. I have not opened the second bottle, but seeing as it's not vacuum packed, I'll assume it's also oxidized.

Just leave your nic base at room temperature; it will oxidize plenty!

My personal reaction to this is, "Ick!" but to each his own.

There's never been a single instance where my liquids didn't improve with age. Whether oxidation is key to this, I do not know? One of my best tasting liquids, was a 4 year old bottle of Johnson Creek.

Two or Three weeks sitting here should help

A friend was disappointed when he made a batch of juice with his new nic.
He was saying it was too smooth and nothing tasted right. He thought he had got a bad batch.
I tried some of it and thought it was good, then tried one of his older batches that he left and was comparing his new batch to. His old stuff was peppery and had a flavour note reminiscent of something in Pall Mall cigarettes. It was pretty good!
In the bottom of the used main 100mg bottle he had been mixing with there was enough fluid to see that it was tinted and a bit dark.
I guess as he worked through the bottle he had become accustom to the gradual oxidization at every new mix.
TBH I dont mind the peppery taste of a slightly oxidized juice, up to a point. I much prefer savoury tastes over sweet tastes.

I think there is probably a market for you in buying other people's "accidentally" oxidized nic.

Maybe it's a bit like burnt RTA wick. Honestly I have a few flavors where it is very hard for me to rewick, not because I cannot do it, but because I actually think it's a GREAT taste Crème brulee can get really "burnt" if you know what I am saying. Tastes authentic.

Some people prefer strong throat hit. You'll know for next time not to go for premium brands, and buy from MFS or something instead.

I actually like it when I find a bottle that's been sitting in the car for a few months. It takes on a slightly different taste that is enjoyable from time to time.

Should I put my room-temperature samples in the classifieds at a premium price?

Kinda like Ripped and Faded Jeans selling for Twice the price of New Ones?

Now I wonder what's a 10 years old e-liquid taste like. Maybe a brave soul will make a video for this experience just like the guy who drunk an antique pepsi crystal couple of years ago.

My ten year old eliquid did not taste very good. Mostly because 10 years ago the liquids were generally not very good compared to the current abundance of variety and quality of flavors available today.
Also, they were not stored in ideal conditions for the high nic content. I tasted them to see if they still held any appeal and trashed them. But the flavor really was not very different. And I am still alive to report.

I saw a similar experiment, guys were testing 4 or 5 different ~10 y.o. liquids, only 1 of them was not vapable, other 4 were still pretty OK. They were all single flav. ones, 50pg/50vg juices.

I guess some flavor profiles would be okay with a little oxidation. If I could find a coffee i liked, I could see that working. Don’t much care for the taste of cigarettes with cinnamon rolls though.

I'd vape a 10 year old e liquid . I think 4-5 year old e liquid, is the oldest I've vaped.

Try adding 1 x drop of malt vinegar per 10ml of oxidized nicotine liquid. I don't think I've ever been so close to my once beloved Marlboro brand. I add .5 drop of Tiramisu per 10ml to my morning mix RY4...
