By my calculations...
submitted over 3 years ago by ffatty

By my calculations I have enough nicotine base to last about three and a half years.

How is everyone handling the nicotine drought?

I have a lifetime supply in the freezer assuming I live a long time.

I bought a gallon of 100mg September before last and poured it out into 4-ouncers... I can't remember rn if it made 26 or 28 but I'm only halfway into my second one. I've only made 1 60ml batch and 5-10 30ml batches since I started and all the rest is 10 or 15ml testers, about half of which I finish all the way.

Lmao trying to figure out how to dispose of mine as I gave up making the stuff.

How come?

The nicotine is the only scarce component. Everything else is perfectly legal.

DIY juice saves me like $100 a month no joke.

Eh I'm an ex smoker so I don't really try the juice before I make a batch (I do taste test the flavors) but the SO doesn't seem excited about them and I gave up.

Why don’t you sell it somehow or give it away at least? You could be making someone’s life, helping them stay off cigs. I would hold onto it in case the perfect opportunity presents itself for you to help someone else out.

Someone hereabouts has 5 gallons !!! :O - I've about 120ml of 100mg in the freezer, vaping at concentrations between nothing and 1-3mg that'll do me for several months I guess.

I'm trying to add more than I remove and at the same time, gradually heading towards the point where I don't really notice whether there's any nic in there or not.

I just bought 120 ml 250 mg salt nic. How should I store this? I expect this to last 6 months to a year depending on how I like it.

Here's some good info:

I think the tldr is to try to prevent oxidation.

Just like food - keep it cool and away from contact with the air.

I have more than what I need to last until I quit.

I have 5 gallons in dedicated freezer, enough to likely last me till I die or quit altogether which ever comes first

I have a gallon split into amber jars in my chest freezer, I’ve been thinking about dropping my nic % even lower than the 1% I’m at currently. I’ll definitely hold onto it forever though, even if just to have it in case it could benefit someone in my life later on.

I have 2.5 liters on ice. Am currently at 2.5mg and slooooowly working my way down. I'm definitely set though I kinda wish I'd picked up a few more just for peace of mind.

I started DIY at the beginning of the pandemic and only just recently polished off my first bottle.

I had calculated 3 years but I decided to just ween myself off nicotine and now I'm down to a 3mg solution from 12mg. So hopefully I eventually won't need to worry about how long the nicotine lasts me.

Saw it coming and will-called 2 litres of 100mg last fall to add to the 3/4 litre in the freezer. Should have enough for years, or until I decide to quit nicotine. Yeah that'll probably never happen, but you never know.

I bought and stored enough to last more than a few lifetimes

Slight issue here: I live in Utah. Can't get nicotine base......
Does anyone here know where I could go? Is it even sold in any shops?

Las Vegas maybe?

Me too. Sourcing is against sub rules but try international :)

I got 2l of 100mg in the freezer. Only vape at most 3mg so it’ll last quite a while. You can still buy it, just recently got a liter at nic base but the way things are going that could end someday too.
