Nicotine Experience
submitted over 6 years ago by PlasmaTune

I've been DIY for the past 4+ years and have always been curious, what's the best freebase nicotine around? So I purchased three brands to sit in a freezer over the last 6 months still in original sealed plastic:

  • Nude Nicotine
  • Liquid Barn
  • Nicotine River

Upon opening them today the only major discolored and flavor noticable (pepperish as people describe) is Nicotine River. Followed by Liquid Barn with a slight discoloration and no flavor as expected. Nude Nicotine has exceeded my expectations with no flavor/color change.

  • Semi shit post as there isn't much quality, I just figured I'd share my experience with everyone who purchases these products.

This does not include nic salts as I've yet to experiment with them

NN sent me my first bottle of nic for DIY. It was pepper city. Also, saying a bottle of nic from NR is pretty vauge. They carry multiple brands in a variety of carrier ratios.

I just opened a bottle of NN that was sitting room temp since September, I opened it this March. It’s perfectly clear, no funny taste or anything identical to the one in my fridge it was replacing.

Quality stuff - idk if I’d leave large amounts unsealed at room temp tho

Ok so I just got some 100mg nic from nicriver a few weeks back and all my mixes taste like straight up dirt OTHER than a 0mg lemon berry I made for my fiancé. Literally everything else tastes like the bottom of a boot and is practically ruined at this point.

I make custom juices for about 20-30 people, I purchase this from heartland vapes.

I always use 100% VG, it works great, and it's cheap.

I use all of their products, bottles, flavors, VG, Nic. I've never had an issue, and the delivery time is about 2 days for me.

I'd highly recommend them.

Their nic stays clear for a LONG time without freezing, I just keep it in a dark, cool place in my basement. I used to keep it in the fridge, but noticed after I left the remainder on my workbench for a couple months, it was still clear, so each new bottle just hides in a cool place since it made no difference to me.

We have a vape shop in Omaha who's juice would turn to piss orange 2 weeks after purchase, I'm not sure what nic they used, but I'd never make a conscious business decision to screw my customers either.

I do need to ask, since I have googled and can't find it, what the heck is water nic?

It is 1000mg solution. They use a cheap medical pump to administer it. PM if you need more info.

I've been using Chemnovatic from VapersTek almost exclusively for the past year and a half probably. I used Wizard labs before that, so it was a pretty noticeable upgrade to me, though I've heard good things about the premium brand they started selling more recently (can't remember what it is off hand though).

Around the holiday I ordered 4 150mL bottles of Chemnovatic from Nic River that have been sitting sealed in my freezer, so when my current 120 runs out (there's maybe 30-40 mL left in it) I'll find out how it compares to VapersTek.

I tested some out from Chemnovatic from NR before I split it up. I didn't notice anything different.

It's the nicotine River PG, VG, or a mix of both? Would one or the other fair differently?

Just asking. Just bought some nic River nic and I'm sure it'll be in the freezer for awhile. Got the PG version.

I strictly use 100% VG based nicotine.

why is that?

I personally can't stand how thick it gets in the freexer and how hard it is to shake

I only use vg too. I just measure into my 500ml bottle and make a 30/70 base and I’m good. Never had a problem with viscosity or hot spots.

I've been using nude the entire time I've been mixing (~3 years) and have never had an issue

I’ve tried Nic Salts from liquid barn, nicotine river, liquid nicotine wholesalers, and Nude nicotine. NN signature line has been the best for me.

you should also look at carolina extracts, many people say it's the best

never tried myself, I want to but Im in canada and strongest I could get shipped would be 60mg. + the cost of shipping it here makes it hard
