submitted over 8 years ago by jettscythe

Hey folks, so I got a new shipment of nic from vaperbc & finally got a comparison shot of the two. https://imgur.com/a/lcvrs Still have no more info other than "natural phenomenon". Will Titrate either tonight or this weekend.

Keep in mind, something made this happen. We need to know what that something is in order to determine if it's safe to put in your lungs. "Natural phenomenon" is not good enough. This is weird as fuck. You should check in to /r/Deeper_DIY/ and ask them and report back if you're willing. I've never read about blue nic ever and google isn't turning up any results either.

Andy is gonna forward me the email that he received from his supplier. I have to add that he was a top notch dude to deal with for customer support.

So, unfortunately Andy has asked me not to post the forwarded email online, however I respect that. The email assures the the product was tested, they reviewed all aspects of production & "Essentially it came down to being a natural phenomena due to certain tobacco leaf harvests."

That's a little sketchy, in the territory of "I don't want a paper trail" imo. Unless there was a valid reason provided you can't share but I'm just wildly speculating and paranoid.

Always a good thing to speculate and be extremely paranoid .

Ask what testing was done and for the results.

could you grab a shot or two of the blue stuff outside of a bottle when you go to titrate?

On the left is 1000mg USP nicotine cut to 100 mg in pure USP VG. The right is same but cut in a 50/50 blend instead.

As I said in the last thread, I don't believe the blue color indicates a problem with the quality.

It's generic LDPE as far as I can tell

Yes but I just got a order of flavoring in sms the bottles have a slight hue to them I thought they were bad or wrong....I transfered to a 30ml for easier mixing purpose like always.... it was clear.... relieved!

Posting to follow. I only order from vaperbc. The last couple shipments have been slightly beige. But blue?

I ordered another one 2 days later & it was the normal colour (bottle on the right)

So that's vg nic and not pg nic correct? I only order pg based because i heard it lasts longer. No matter though. I wonder if this is just when they cut it with vg.

Both just VG nic. From what I was told it happened when the nicotine touched the VG

So your saying that they watched it turn blue and sold it to you anyways?

All I was told by Andy from vaperbc was that it was a natural phenomenon where when the nic was diluted into vg it turned blue. He called me before payment went through, I told him it was fine & asked about quality. He said everything was the same, just blue.

Weird. Want to know what's up with this. I have been using vaperbc for a while now absolutely no issues

Bleach and ammonia "naturally" makes mustard gas.

I always buy 100mg nic suspended in VG and its never been blue. That being said, I only buy USP grade which has the strictest quality control for inhalation safety standards. Nicotine is a common pesticide so I'm hoping you didn't buy industrial grade. The fact that it's not on the bottle makes me concerned.

I could be totally wrong here, but USP ratings don't have anything to do with how safe something is to inhale. Don't they have more to do with purity? Not trying to argue with you btw! If you have some links I'd like to read more.

USP has the most strict standards so if your going to be inhaling it, you should spend a bit more and get the cleanest product you can- It's really not expensive. I know flavor extracts are food grade and are obviously only intended for ingestion so if vaping is ever found to be bad, it will be the extracts I'm sure.
