The best nicotine is the nicotine you don't notice. It adds absolutely no taste and doesn't interfere at all. The bottle of nude nicotine has been sitting in my closet for 4 or 5 weeks, so it wasn't oxidized any. First impressions are pretty good.
I mixed the 100mg down to 17mg, 100%VG (always mix 6mg). The juice I made needs a long steep but the initial taste is very clean and the flavor came through without any peppery or off taste. Overall, pretty great nic. I've only tried two other companies and neither was this close to flavorless.

Yeah, I just used some nude nic this week for the first time as well. I was equally impressed. But you know, you kinda expect that when your nic comes with not only with a full chemical analysis for your batch, but a chemical analysis of the PG and VG dilutant batches used as well.
I don't see myself using any other nic in the future.

Just to clarify. You are saying there is absolutely no peppery taste to it at all? Because that would be awesome. I had heard this once before but i figured i would wait to see if another post popped up.
Yes, absolutely no peppery taste. In fact it's completely tasteless (save the taste of VG, but my juice is max vg anyway). I have not given it time to sit after opening, however, I mixed as SOON as i broke the seal of the original bottle.
It could oxidize in the future and my thoughts could change, but as long as I'm handling the nic quickly and reducing air/light exposure I don't see it becoming an issue. I do only have about 80ml total at this point. And I recommend to anyone who buys large amounts of nic to mix down to small batches to reduce the effect of oxidation and increase the shelf life of the full batch of nicotine.
I wonder what makes the other brands peppery...
I always thought it was oxidation, it seems i may have been wrong.
I think its just the way its processed, I don't think one is supposed to be better than the other, but getting really clean tasting/smelling nic is apparently just due to the newer ways of processing it.
There is an over 180 page thread on ecf about nic comparisons, at least there that seems to be the consensus, some seem to really like the newer clean flavor, some seem to really like the peppery harsher flavor. At least that's what I got from it...
This is awesome to read. Considering I just ordered nude nicotine DIY starter kit. I'm pumped!
Yes, their nic is very clean. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I have not tried any of their flavors though so I can't give any input on those.
I've talked to a few other people and they say that their flavors are pretty decent. So starting off I'm hoping they'll be okay. What do flavors run for normally anyways? Like on average how much is how much flavoring?
It can vary wildly depending on what you're looking for. You can get some silver cloud estates flavor which can be around $2/oz for 4oz ($8-$11), or TPA 1oz bottles for $5, or Cap can be around $3/oz for 4oz ($13).
The smaller the size the more expensive it is per oz, but sometimes you don't want to buy a huge bottle before trying it. I suggest ECX or Wizard Labs for smaller sample sizes because they run cheaper than ordering direct.
