I just ordered 2liters of nicotine.
submitted almost 6 years ago by Jebediah86

And I feel relieved! Haven't really done DIY since 2009ish, but looking forward to getting back into it. Tired of worrying about a new tax or sneak move, plus I live in a "Tobacco flavor" only state. Anyone else doing a little nicotine prestocking before black Friday? How long would 2 liters of 100mg freebase last ya'll? At my math I am stocked until it expires unless I get a deep freezer.

Keep out enough of it to last you a few months, store the remaining nic in amber glass bottles in your freezer. It should last for a decade give or take.

Deep freeze, yes a decade is possible. But in a consumer freezer? Meh, 3-7 years depending on how much headroom the bottles have, and the original sources quality.

I've got 500mls of 100mg split into amber bottles AND 500ml of 250mg all stored in my freezer. I only do 1mg juice so this will last forever. Plus I mix my 4 fav recipes in bulk, I make between 1,400ml and a whole gallon at a time

looking forward to having some set recipes that i thoroughly enjoy. Ugh this has been a process. 290 dollars spent so far and climbing.

Yes but in the long run you'll save so much more. When it comes to testing flavor combos I use the ratio method, almost zero wasted supplies

I know it’s a day later but..... also interested in this ratio method you mentioned. If you find the time to send me a message I’d appreciate it, or don’t, up to you bb.

2 liters of 100mg would likely last longer than me.

Yup, glass is going to be my next order. Thanks for the link. :)

I'd avoid dripper topped bottles for storage. The rubber is permeable. Go for a standard cap for the freezer.

I admit. I went a little overkill... Amber. glass Boston rounds, headspace topped with canned argon, then vacuum sealed each bottle before putting in the chest freezer.

Been wondering, how did you top it off? Is argon heavier than air?

I hear you there. Got a gallon that's scheduled to arrive today.

Did this recently myself, 2 liters of 250 mg/ml freebase, 2 liters 100mg/ml salt nic (smooth), 2 liters 100mg/ml salt nic (hit). Good luck with restarting your DIY, I wish you the best and happy vaping :D

I'm planning on reducing my nicotine over time, so i would hope 2 liters would last me for... EVER. lol.

I use a small funnel https://www.amazon.com/s?k=small+funnel&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

by St1llFrankalmost 6 years agoThis flavor... This is not my kind of flavor

Vaperstek sends in plastic bottles. I find a tip that will fit on the bottle and squeeze it out. I think last time I used a tip that came with a bullet bottle. They're twist tops like mustard bottles used to have. Put the tip in the glass amber bottle (for the freezer) and squeeze. I have different sizes of tips for plastic bottles. I like to limit the liquids exposure to air as a precaution.

I thought you meant two litters of nicotine as in two liters of high concentration nicotine(lab nicotine) and i was thinking, oh boy, i hope you have barrel of pg and vg lying arround

2 would last me at least 6 years. I’m planning on grabbing at least a gallon. I’m very interested in getting tobacco free nic because I believe It comes in powder form and would think the shelf life would be lot longer. The problem is that you have to buy a kg at a time and it is very expensive.

Synthetic nicotine? That's a thing? Where do you get it?

2 points
 
by wolfpak31almost 6 years ago

TFN. Next generation labs sells it. It’s $4500 a kilo if you buy 6 kilos. There is 1 million milligrams/nicotine per kilo. Really expensive but I’d love to do a group buy if enough people were up for it. I’m not really into the idea of synthetic nicotine but the fact that it would probably last forever is what interest me.

2L would last me years. I go through 120mL of 100mg about every 6 mos.

I expect I'm stocked until I expire.

That'd last me 4.8 years if I could vape 30ml a week

Pg and vg is always the limiting factor for me long term. Takes up way more space and I use like 100 mils a day of each because I love mixing new recipes and toying with them until they delight my tastebuds.
