VERY harsh nic-base from pink-mule, possible labeling error? wrong nic-level?
submitted about 8 years ago by rafwagon

Been mixing juices for over a year now. I always ordered through pink-mule. Tried different kinds of base liquid from them. I eventually settled on using their 12mg purple label (70/30) and adding flavor shots to it.

A month ago, i ordered the same purple base and some flavor shots and immediatly made 250-300 ml's of juice (4 different juices). Fast forward a month an i start vaping my new juices for the first time. My throat felt as if it was burning (i always vape 12mg MTL). I tried another juice, the same, unvapable. Then i tasted a drop on my finger and my mouth instantly got hot. Like spicy. again burning feeling in my throat, started hiccuping, wanted to vomit (i did not). After an hour, i took my empty bottle of base and sampled a drop of that on my finger. The same horrible taste.

I narrowed it down to a few possibilities.

  1. improper storage (not by me, used them the day after arrival, exp date is 2019). Leading to oxidation.

  2. faulty labeling. I'm almost certainly convinced that there is more than the 12mg of nicotine in the bottle. When i vaped and sampled it, i got this hot rush and sick feeling, like from too much nicotine. Or can it be a wrong PG-ratio that is causing this?

I'm going to sample the second base bottle (same batch nr) in a few hours. I don't think my body can handle more right now.

Has anyone encountered something like this before? Is it possible that the bottles got the wrong label? I'll contact Pink-Mule when i'm a bit less angry, just wasted 300 ml's and a month steeping time.

If you can test the nic base and determine that it is high, you could always make up a batch of 0mg to mix with the steeped juices to bring them down to your desired level...

I'll try adding some 0mg, maybe i can confirm/rule out the nic lvl.

So, bad nic or too concentrated?

Probably not a mislabel. There are pretty strict controls in place since the mislabeling of poisons can kill people and cause companies to go out of business.

Wow thanks for linking that. That's fucking crazy how can you sell something marked as a poison and be off on the strength by 100%??? I hope they've since fixed that shit.

They may have gave you a much stronger base. Contact them, and let them know. Id also just buy 0mg, or just get some VG, and keep diluting until you get the desired nic level, with that you can also figure out what the actual strength was.
