Nicotine problems

I have been mixing my own juice for a few months now and have problems with what I assume is my nicotine oxidizing. I live a two hour drive away from wizard labs where I order all my supplies. My latest nic base, 1.8% vg is super harsh. My mixes are between 3-6mg, even 3 is too harsh to vape. I have had this problem before but never this bad. I know heat can oxidize nicotine, and it usually takes 2-3 days for my order to arrive. I work in a warehouse and know it can get well over 100degrees in those trucks. Would a couple days in this condition be able to ruin the nic? I work the same hours they are open so I can't go pick it up :( thanks for any help

I started out with WL nic. I never had issues with until I tried another brand.

Quick story, I keep a bottle of juice in my purse. In this story, the bottle in my purse was made with WL. I didn't give it a 2nd thought, loaded up a tank at work when we had many hours of OT. I felt like I'd been punched in the throat by it. I like throat hit, but could not believe the difference this bottle had, compared to what I'd been vaping from the other vendor.

I've been using it up for my boyfriend's juice. He LOVES the punch from that nic.

That's my experience from WL. I didn't dislike it til I tried someone else's nic.

I've heard that WL nic has gotten a bit meaner in the TH dept. I ordered a bottle of it (small) and a bottle from vaperstek to check out the difference. I know that HIC here likes the VT nic, and his recipes have thus far been amazing, so I trust his judgment.
I'll report back after some tests tomorrow most likely (got in a bunch of my new mixing toys)

Okay I really need good nic so I'm going to try VT. Curious if their VG is as great? Anyone tried it compared to wizard labs? Figured while I'm getting nicotine I'll try their VG but I like supporting wizard.

I've had the PG from VT, but not the VG. I'd be willing to bet you can't go wrong with theirs. I truly understand wanting to support local. I also understand supporting my taste buds, lol. You could always get a small bottle, see if you have a preference. You're already ordering, so get a small one?

i use so much from Wizard Labs its not even funny. So I was okay switching nic juice....Apparently they love their new customers so much, that when I asked them to draw a unicorn eating a taco in my "special instructions" this is what I got in return . This was order number #1...

Okay, that is awesome. I'd want that as a wrap, just 'cuz! :D

I haven't tried the PG or VG from VT yet, since I still have a fair bit that I bought off of amazon a while back, but I'll be checking out VT's offerings as well once I start getting low.

I have actually tried i think all companies but found wizard to be the freshest, clearest yet. They make there vg,pg nic per order and are sent is the best packing of any. Also they have to go by Johnson & Johnson strict standards that says alot. Some time ago i switched to VT with out telling my customers and some of them did catch the difference and asked me to go back to wizard so i did cause i did not care for the VT as much. To me it was barley noticeable. I actually feel safer dealing with them because they make it for Johnson & Johnson. As far harsh no way. I have had some from the other companies that were harsh but they were kinda yellow from age. When they turn yellow they do have a peppery harshness. I never had that with Wizard.

Yeah, that WL ICE was epic stuff... stupid smooth, no bite if mixed below 6mg (12mg or so still had a touch, which was perfect). I still have some of that wonderful stuff in my freezer.

As far as HARSH nic... dear god, Vaping Zone's stuff was like snorting wasabi while gargling a solution of black pepper and cayenne. And that was down mixed to 6mg! That stuff quickly became ant poison.:rolleyes:

kwtony, I can't see anything picture wise if you posted any - can you copy it as a quote so I can see it? Or can someone else?

Wow, they must have really gone downhill then. They used to be top shelf and were one of the top rated nics available at the time when evaluated a few years ago. They aren't bargain priced either!
