Should 100mg nicotine be clear?
submitted about 8 years ago by Just-Elian

I received some nicotine and it's kind of yellow, I've never seen yellow nic but I've never bought 100 mg

where did you buy it? if its brand new purchase and its yellow i'd be kind of mad... Nude Nic and Vaperstek both deliver clear liquid that stays clear for a very long time

I'd avoid vapewild for everything. seriously.

their liquids are awful. their flavors are just rebranded Flavor West and TPA flavors. You can get everything cheaper somewhere else and much better quality nic somewhere else.

Sorry you ordered from them, but fuck that company.

I had a sample of their Bannannabacco laying around and tried it out of curiosity the other day and about threw my guts up.

Dude I honestly don't know how you can make such bad huice and think it's worth releasing. I've had like 4 flavors from them that were okay. Everything else is garbage. Total gimmick company.

You can read up on the Vape Wild shitshow [here] (https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/553n5s/psa_vapewild_nicotine/) and here.

I've decided VapeWild is trash. My 100mg Nic comes only in VG base, but had slightest pink tinge. I know this isnt unusual. Nic will tend to turn yellow tan, brown progressively over time as it oxidizes. Fresh is preferably clear and better in PG base than VG. unless of course you have PG issues. If you cant find info here you know to check out the intl forum right? Hope your ECF anyhow. VapeWild completely left out my nic from an order which was a pretty big order ($200). I immediately called, and photo'd the order as I opened it from USPS. No less than half of what I've bought from there has been straight to the trash. Crap, unusable, wasted $$$ never ever ever again.Vapeon.

It can be yellow, pink, tan, and maybe a few others. No biggie.

Just try it out first to make sure it's not too harsh. If you have a testing kit, use it any time you think your nicotine has turned. You might want to get a testing kit if you don't have one. It'll help you if your nicotine's potency is off.

Depends on the source/purity. This question should go in the New Mixers Thread. Yellow is usually fine. It's when it's dark/red that you should be concerned

I bought 100mg/ml nicotine from $company and it arrived brown/red. This was over a month ago. Fuck me dead, thats why everything I mix makes me puke. I just finished emailing them with proof. Let's see if anything comes of it.

I ordered some new nic from a different company a few days ago because I couldn't deal with $company's bottle of blood-tinged semen smelling liquid. I thought I had done something wrong.

E: a word

GAG

Dude, you can vape straight VG... so try that and if it's fine you can rule out the VG.

Then add a bit of nicotine to whatever you usually vape at and if it makes you wretch, it's probably bad nicotine.

It is the nicotine, I was vaping my own mixes with no nic and imported USA liquids that had nic in them until I decided to buy some 100mg/ml and make the full switch to vaping. I've also vaped 0mg on and off since 2013, whilst making my own mixes.

I just thought I was doing something wrong/didn't want to admit I'd been burned/thought I'd get used to the harshness as some people say vaping is rough on the throat at first.

I don't know what the fuck I was thinking.

As stated: use test kit on it, and treat it as if it is 100mg, aka with a solid dose of caution.

I do think there is a sticky post for questions like this though.

I've never gotten 100mg Nic that is as clear as pure PG/VG, even ordering from Carolina. Put equivalent bottles of VG next to it and you can see the difference.

That said, I think it should be pretty clear. Nic should have a very slight yellow tint to it, but ideally be otherwise clear. Other tints can be OK when caused by argon bottling, etc, but they should go away quickly.

Carolina advertises "water clear" nicotine. You are saying this is false?

I bought 2 sample bottles from carolina extracts recently and they're slightly brown but definitely not bad. I replaced 6 month old oxidized nicotine I had and there's a noticeable difference between the two

I recently got 100mg/ml from Nude Nic and it has a slightly pink, mostly yellow tint. I wasn't worried. I'd never bought at 100 before and just assumed it to be fine.

I think I'm going through Ecigexpress.com from now on. Based on reviews and information on the sidebar, i think they fit me best

For what it's worth I would go with carolina xtracts 120ml bottle of nic instead of ecigexpress, it's like $28 after shipping is added and it comes through USPS so it's faster than using ecigexpress for nic. I would also go with bullcityflavors.com for flavoring, vg, pg and bottles.

I'm not trying to shit talk ecigexpress, but I had a terrible experience with them, they take too long to ship, the bottles of flavoring leaked everywhere, the nic was overpriced for the quality it is (carolina xtracts nic costs the same and is high quality) and they forced me to use UPS for shipping so I had to pay them $30 for that because of the nicotine. I decided to try them again and it was the same thing, flavoring everywhere and bottles that weren't filled all the way.

I had the exact opposite expierence with bull city, they shipped fast and everything got here without any bottles leaking. They're the only place I order from now.

I do amazon for supplies. I just need a flavor source and a nicotine source. I would love for them to be the same source but i guess there just isn't 1 all around good company.

$32ish to ohio. I ordered Carolina because the extraction process puts my mind at ease. Now, as for bull city, I'm not running a large operation, the $75 free shipping minimum is a little high, which is why i went with vapewild to begin with.

Did you get regular nicotine or nicotine salts? Their normal nic has been mostly clear with maybe VERY slight yellow tint for me, but for the nic salts (at least the smooth sample I got) some discoloration is normal.

Nicotine Salts Smooth! I am such a newb I don't know what the difference is between salts and 'normal'. I was just chasing the smooth factor because I had a hard time with throat hit when I started out.

Yeah it's normal for the smooth salts to have a darker color, wouldn't worry about it.
