I already asked NN and received response: "The nicotine salts will have some form of coloration. This is normal and there is nothing to worry about"
Mb i'm to much worry about that. But just wondering. http://imgur.com/a/6UdRf
Already compared these samples. Used the same e-juice recipe ("Mango Tango", 70%VG, 6mg/ml) and mixed 10ml using smooth, signature, hit and free-base nicotine. Tested in on Magma RDA (i hate this RDA, because of weak taste and higher TH it gives, but had to use it because i can much easier to replace cotton there compared to my current Avocado24)
Smooth is really smooth. I can still feel throat hit (~2/10). I expected to get no throad hit at all and worried that smooth will be too light for me. But now i see it's the best option. It's light enough, but gives me TH i want to achieve. Signature is heavier. It's noticeable after first puff. It's about 5/10. Hit is overkill for me. I estimate TH as 8.5/10. Mb i too sensetive to TH, but after feew puffs i got cough. Freebase i have compared to NN samples is about 6.5/10. Something between signature and hit, but more close to signature. Freebase also gives me some minor bitter aftertaste. Happy to know that nic salts is better in terms of taste.
All written above is just personal opinion. And based on devise and recipe i used.
I use smooth in VG, got 120ml in brown bottle, kept it in a dark cabinet but not frozen for 3 months. It has a very slight yellowish tint like your "hit" vial on the left. Easy vape at 45mg, no sting, no pepperiness.
thanks. looks like i have no choice. i hope my smooth from a next order will have a normal colour
You might want to test them in flavorless versions before mixing into all kinds of recipes, perhaps try a couple very slightly single flavored versions or just go the quickest way to test you components. The lick test. I do that with all nic bases diluted to safe levels, PG, VG, flavorings and additives. Do a plain dilution, 1 drop on the back of your palm, lick & taste.
Completely normal!
The nicotine salts have very different colors than standard nicotine - the organic acid constituents do add a yellow or orange color to the nicotine solution, completely non-indicative of their oxidation state :)
Thank you so much for asking!
Sorry for being so pain in the ass and asking the same question here. Nic salts is something completely new to me. And there are not too many information about it in internet. So i just wanted to double check that everything is fine before placing an order for a larger size. Thank you for being so patient with me.
I just got nic salts from nicotine river and there is a label on the bottle that says color changes are normal with this product due to its complexity
Yeah color isn't always indicative of quality but it certainly can be. Ty for the report on the different nics, that is very helpful!
for me it's still a question because... let's imagine they add something to nicotine to increase/decrease throat hit. if this thing they add change colour of nicotine i should see one sample with yellow colour, 2nd sample with light-yellow colour and 3rd sample with no colour. theoretically. but just one yellow sample it's weird.
you can order more than one sample at once?
their web site doesn't allow to do that. i asked NN to create an order with different nicotine types. i live not in USA so delivery is quite expensive. i was need to know what type of their nicotine is best for me before placing an order.
P.S. I'm impressed with their support. They are very friendly and reply very quick.
