Dustymossy has got in touch with me and offered to put everything right. :)
I was going to send him a message to start with but I couldn't contact him until I had my five newbie posts and his domain has been down. It's going to cost* about $70 to send it back and get replacements so It's probably better for both of us if I keep it and source the cheaper PG locally, as long as I can be sure what it is.

* Not me, Nicvape has said they will cover all the postage.

Now that sounds EXACTLY how I would expect him to respond, and given the chance would have before any of this thread began. :thumb:

Sweet! Thanks bro! I was actually hoping for an app like this, just thought nobody got around to making one yet....cuz everyone is being brainwashed by Steve go blow jobs!.lol!

Actually, this app has been out for several weeks. He is fairly active on their forum. I was too until I learned that zebras can change colors at will.:)

Sorry I did miss your post.
The only bit I don't like about the TW app is that stored recipes have to have a TW flavour assigned to it, otherwise it's good. He gets paid when you enter his partner ID into the TW website to get a discount.
An alternative is eliquid recipe manager but that has no way to store mixtures but might be a bit simpler than the TW app.

As far as the labelling problem goes I probably would have posted this anyway as the danger of poisoning is more important than being sent the wrong item mail order, I sure didn't feel good and I was a heavy roll-up smoker until a couple of weeks ago.

I had a concern about this too. I ordered a 120ml bottle of PG from one place and it arrived labeled 54mg nicotine. Then I didn't know if it was only mislabeled or if it is truly nicotine instead of PG... I haven't touched it yet because I'm not sure how to test it without making myself sick. But the idea someone had of mixing it with another PG and vaping that makes sense...except I can't really feel the effects of nicotine, all I know is that when I don't vape high enough mg nicotine e-liquid, I start wanting to smoke again.

... so then I think maybe I should try vaping it as it is and see if I do get sick from it.


Is there a way it's supposed to look or smell? It looks exactly like the nicotine juice that I also got from the same place, but it also looks exactly like PG...

It looks, smells and tastes just the same but afterwards the thought of smoking a proper cigarette makes you feel sick. There's also a slight delay so by the time you feel you've had enough you've had too much.
I now know what the maximum strength it could possibly be from NicVape so I'm going to assume that and mix accordingly, if I find myself vaping too much then I'll increase the strength. When I get through as much as I do now on premixed 18mg then I'll be able to work out exactly how strong the mix is. With experimenting weak is better as craving a cigarette feels better than a nic overdose and is much more easily rectified.
Rich from Nicvape has been very helpful, just a shame his domain was down.

No problem its easy to skip over posts when you have concerns about an important issue as a mislabled bottle of poison..... also another thing about the app is it don't list P.A. flavors. Not sure if it really makes a difference in the amounts to be used though... but thanks for the heads up aboutthe other app....

Wonder if you could test the suspect PG with a cheap nicotine drug test kit? I know it checks for cotinine, not sure if it detects un-metabolized nicotine.

Rosa, all of my PG is perfectly clear....white looking. And, all of my nic juice is slightly yellowish, or at least not white. My nic juice sometimes comes in dark bottles, and I pour it up into a clear (catsup or mustard) bottle. I can see the slight difference. If you have some pure PG, you might pour a little of each into clear bottles and compare the two. If there's even a slight difference in color, you could probably assume that what you thought was mis-labeled PG might really be the 54mg nic juice. Just a thought.
