I have Liquid Barn nicotine in PG and VG and both are insanely harsh it hasn't been like this before when I first received my nicotine it was perfectly fine there was no smell or yellowing in the nicotine and still isn't, I shake the bottles every time before use but it's just so damn harsh, it isn't peppery it just hurts the throat, does anybody know what's wrong. Thanks
maybe it's the alcohol in me, but that took a few read throughs to understand. make sure your measurements are on point and try a recipe without nic and with nic. also, get a nic testing kit to make sure the nic level is correct. if everything fails, contact the vendor.
Just something else to maybe be aware of that has been an issue for me....I've had some very good nic that seemed to bad when I opened it for the first time. What I actually think happened was that it sat in my mailbox for a few hours and got cooked by the direct sunlight beaming down on the mailbox so by the time I got home and took it out, it was probably already in bad shape. Last few orders I had delivered to my work (mail is delivered directly inside so doesn't sit in a mailbox at all) and with faster shipping and the nic has been MUCH better from the same vendors that seemed to have previously sent bad nic.
TL;DR - Don't let your nic order sit in a mailbox for several hours when it is warm/hot and sunny out! Also consider using the faster shipping method you can afford.
how old is it and how are you storing it?
Are you absolutely sure you're measuring it out accurately?
I had this problem from the moment I opened the bottle when buying nic from various credible web stores.
Almost always when I have tried 3-6-12mg ready made solutions. Big brands. Just shit. I blame the resellers and storage. Most resellers have accepted it and refunded without objection. It appears to me that a lot of them don't store it properly or have a particularly good idea what they are doing.
One place I bought a liter of what was supposed to be max VG with 6mg. Well that high VG isn't supposed to be so fluid it looks like water and the stuff is so rank it makes your eyes water when vaped. That was from one of the largest suppliers in EU. They were some times sorry and refunded and refused to let me know whether or not it was a fluke to the extent I would never deal with them again.
Probably stored for years in a desert.
The last six months I have been using a bottle of 72mg in PG (somebody at a B&M said try this and gave me 100ml of it for free.) in the finest VG meant for medical purpose, 1 part nic base and 10-12 parts VG & flavours.. I am not going to be able to use it all before It will become ruined though.
Did you recieve this nic a year ago and stored in a window ever since?
TL:DR a lot of greedy bastards sell these things and don't know anything about how to store them and they are already nearly expired by the time they are in your hands. Also if buying stuff like this over counter and they hand you a bottle that is room temperature and clear plastic. Don't buy it. (istored on a shelf in the shop)
