The one in left is Salt the other is free base . This is how they came and the freebase is still just as clear . I was told the Salt Nic color is normal due to the process BUT it still worries me and this bottle has 3 other bottle in front of it b4 I crack it open
I open the bottle and transfer every bit of it into smaller boston rounds. I use mostly 30ml bottles with a couple of 60ml. I fill them to the top and then put them in a Food Saver bag and use my Food Saver to pull all the air out. I have been doing it that way from the very beginning and have never had an issue until now. Iām not happy I can say that.
My LNW salts always turn yellow when exposed to room temperature. Have not noticed any change in taste or strength. They will gradually darken to pale orange before I get to the end of the 120 ml working bottle. The 250mg does always deliver yellow regardless of season ordered. The 100mg usually is a very pale yellow or clear on delivery.
That makes me think Dan is leaving his at room temp. I canāt vape Salts, but mix them for others, and mine lives in the freezer, and hasnāt yellowed yet.
Correct @SessionDrummer higher concentrations of Nic will have a shorter shelf life, nudenicotine.com has a blog about this,
Higher nicotine strengths will possess more nicotine molecules, less likely to be completely solvated by their carrier (PG/VG). Put simply ā 100mg/mL formulations will keep for less time than a 24mg/mL formulation.
I use LNW. I have always had great experiences with them and there products, except one time. Now that I know what I know I equate the issue to my ignorance. I had always bought from wizard labs prior and because they were so close to where I live I hadnāt had to factor shipping times and weather. Now if I need to order in the hot months I use wizard labs because freebase doesnāt hold up well in the back of a shipping truck going cross country. I did notice the nic salt are ever so slightly harsher when they have to travel far in the heat as well, not as bad as freebase though. I now just order a years worth during the coldest time of the year, or order as local as possible in the heat.
OK, I didnāt know about this. Glad there are more informed than me on here. Another āplusā for being part of this great family. Thanks @SessionDrummer and @Rocky02852. I have some 100mg and 200mg in the freezer at the moment so I guess the 200mg will have to move up the ladder at some point . Cheersā¦
@Dardy thank you very much. I was always taught NIC was a ticking time bomb when exposed to light/heat/oxygen, and the higher levels, the faster it ticked. I briefly considered getting some 250 from LMW, but decided against it, and stuck with 100, figuring the best of both worlds, i.e. bang for the buck and longevity.
