What was bad about the base?

[chrisf8657]

I replaced my Nude Nicotine base (which was extremely peppery, made me short on breath, and imparted a odd flavor to all my juices - and yet was clear) with VapersTek, and is 100% better. Clean tasting, very little peppery hit.

My question is this:

What was in it that was causing me to be short of breath?
Nothing else has ever done that - not my B&M's nic, not nic from VapersTek, commercial juices - nothing.

Thanks

I doubt there was anything added. Different extracting methods produce different levels of quality. I will generally reduce the nicotine level if the vape is unusually harsh. But you are correct vaportek is very mild.

outside of finding my perfect vape setup ... VapersTek has been the best thing I've found with DIY.

Okay, I understand that there wasn't anything added. But that doesn't answer the question, what was it that made me short on breath?

I vape nude nicotine's base and I don't have breathing issues, nor do I find the nicotine harsh.

Was the juice USP? What was the mix% of Vg/Pg ?

It almost sounds like you have a mislabled bottle with significantly more nic in it than it should have. Contact NN, I've heard that their customer service is excellent (which is why I just placed an order with them).

Do you breathe deeply regularly? Were you diluting it with max VG? VG vapor is carbon dioxide and water. Your voice will sound very deep when speaking with the vapor in your throat, and the CO2 surplus will trigger you to go for fresh air.

VG vapor should be just that, vaporized VG. If its carbon dioxide and water then you've achieved complete combustion of the VG, which would, I think, be very noticeable (since breathing fire is generaly something one notices immediately).

I just posted in another thread how you can tweek your base to fit your needs. The post was as follows.

"What they were trying to explain was how to narrow down the problem to either the NIC, the PG or the VG.

Step 1. Vape just the PG alone and if no pepper taste then.

Step 2. Vape just the VG alone and if no pepper taste then.

Step 3. Mix your usual base (NIC/PG/VG) to your usual vaping strength (6mg, 12mg, 18mg what ever it is....) and don't add flavoring. If you get the peppery taste then you know it's the NIC and not the VG, PG or flavoring.

Then you can carry that 1 step further, if your usual vaping strength is let say 12mg reduce the base to let say 9mg and see if it's less peppery. If it's better then you found your new vaping strength.

Then from there you can adjust your PG/VG ratio's to smooth it out even further (all done without flavoring).

For example lets say you found that 9mg is much smoother then 12mg but not smooth enough.

Try different PG/VG combos at 9mg such as 60VG/40PG or 70VG/30PG/5%DW or 80VG/20PG/7 - 10%DW.

Once you found the base that works for you repeat your favorite mixes using the new base and boy will you notice a huge difference in flavor.

And that my friends is how you adjust your base to fit your needs."

I dont think i'll be buying from them again, because they have failed to answer my email on what the issue could have been.
I don't have time to call them, and besides which, if they are solely an Internet business, they should answer email.

Very disappointed.
