I just looked at my spare, unopened liter bottle of MyFreedomSmokes 100mg/ml nic and it's about 1" +/- from the point where the rounded part of the bottle meets the neck and 1 1/2" from the top of the cap. They don't fill nic to the top for spill reduction during filling and for a safety margin to the consumer, I guess. The bottle apparently holds more than a liter to allow for air space.

I had already noticed the difference in my working bottle after doing DIY for several months. At my nic DIY usage of 12ml to 15ml a month I wondered why the level had dropped so much. It hadn't compared to the sealed spare bottle. There was air space above the nic in both from the start.

Yours may be lower than you expected for the same reason unless you measured both before opening. The only way to tell is to transfer it when it's first opened to another bottle using a graduated cylinder to measure it. Do you think maybe the company you ordered from changed bottle suppliers and started using a slightly different shape? Did you call them about it? I'd be curious to know what they said.

@DaveP - She said back in her posts 15 & 16 that she measured it in a glass measuring cup with mL markings on it. Also that she keeps track of what she's used, so she knows how much she's supposed to have left after each time she mixes some.

Sorry! I missed that. I thought she used the measuring cup to measure out DIY amounts and estimated remaining nic according to what she had used.

I'd certainly question the vendor's quality controls. Nic is pretty expensive compared to other liquids that come in similarly sized bottles.

My last liter of 50/50 100nic from HydaVape(in Canada) was the opposite. I scaled out the 550 gram 500ml then 10 50ml bottles at 54 grams and ended up with just under 200 grams left over. I was quite happy and enjoyed the 200 grams nic more since it was free and free seems to taste better. :)

Hey can you order just a litter there. I was looking all I seen was big wholesale

If you click the "Nicotine" tab, just 1 liter or more options come up. Click the "DIY" tab, then "Nicotine Solutions" for 120ml options.

EDIT: Puffon beat me to it. :D
