So you think there is less wta in the 17 mg? Thought it might be the same wta but lower nic.
WholeCig states that they aren't adding nicotine to the
juice, and since WTA is already (roughly) 95% nicotine, they see no reason to add any more. WTA and standard nicotine only differ by about 5% minor alkaloids, which is what we're paying extra for.
This is how Dvap (the original creator of WTA) stated WTA can be handled:
"You could do WTA a couple ways:
1. WTA Spiked into nicotine (WTA containing minor alkaloids and nicotine) plus more nicotine. This would result in a spread not in line with the natural spread, enhanced in nicotine. Nothing really wrong with this, I guess.
2. WTA as the only alkaloid bearing component."
WholeCig states that they are doing it according to point #2. I think you were thinking of point number #1.
So if WTA is approximately 95% nicotine:
25 mg WTA is about 23.75 mg of nicotine and about 1.25 mg minor alkaloids
20 mg WTA is about 19 mg of nicotine and about 1 mg minor alkaloids
17 mg WTA is about 16.15 mg of nicotine and about 0.85 mg of minor alkaloids
Don't let the low mg of the minor alkaloids fool you--even in very low doses, they still perform.
