I just thought I would add what I was told. I am going to keep with what has worked for me thus far. Transferring to amber glass bottles with those cone caps and leaving a little space for expansion. I have never used argon and all my nic has been good, not too worried about it.

For Glycerin, this online calculator indicates that itās density (mass/volume) only decreases by 2.35% between -25 and +25 *C (range of 90 *F). That equates to a total +2.41% (of volumetric) increase.
Canāt find online calcs for Propylene Glycol - but this graph (see for 100% PG) tells the (similar) story:

Additional information from the source(s) is always appreciated in my book.
I strongly agree.
Experience tells me (having had multiple smaller 120ml bottles of a single liter in the freezer for going on 3 years now) that thereās absolutely NO concern (on my part) as to the reliability of the method, or the results. Especially when every one has been as fresh as the first.
When I do pull a 120ml down (cracking the āsealā on it), and pour some into the 30ml bottle I keep at room temp (for frequent mixing), I do return the remainder of the opened 120ml to the refrigerator. Primarily so I know not to accidentally crack open a different 120 the next time.

Hey all. Iāve been mixing for a little while here, and never really branched from Liquid Nicotine Wholesalers nicotine. Was wondering if anyone else has used this and knows how good it is. I run strictly 100mg 100%PG base. Iāve had a few juices that just end up way too harsh, or have really muted flavors, even though my quantities are right on target. Dont know if I should start looking into another brand, or maybe just got a bad batch. Nothing Iāve mixed up has really blown my mind so far though.

Muted might be vapers tongue, but Iād wait for someone whoās advanced in knowledge of Vaping which I canāt come close to claiming

I have never had any issues with LNW and in fact always recommend them.
I use their 100%vg, have used 100% pg as well as their nic salts for other peopleās mixesā¦ and no issues. I would share a recipe of what you say is muted, so some examples, so others can help you out

Itās the first time I hear someone mention muting and nicotine in the same sentenceā¦ Iād look for it somewhere else. Harshness could be nic but weād need more info.
Posting example recipes can always help. A clear picture of what your nic looks like (in daylight) too.

There are a few things about nicotine that I know of, you could try
- Vaping vg and nicotine without any flavours. Is it still harsh?
- Vaping 50/50 vg and pg to determined if you developed sensitivity to pg
I never heard nicotine muting flavours, though. Maybe someone else could chime in.

I use them. I am so far VERY impressed with what I have gotten from them. I have never had any problem at all with the products they sell. I seriously donāt understand why they arenāt one of the names I see everywhere. I did have problems with flavors seeming wierd, figured out it was the cotton I was wicking with.

I really love LNW and havenāt had any problems with it and thatās using 100% VG 100mg. Iād probably look more to flavors muting than nicotine

You canāt rule out the actual ingredients of a mix when troubleshooting.
Perhaps, as @anon28032772 suggested, you could share an example of a recipe that you made here.

Also glad to hear all the good sayings about LNW nicotine. Iām guessing I just fkād up my mixture. I was trying to make a really simple strawberry banana milkshake. Used the LNW strawberry milk at 6% of the total mixture, and TFA Banana Cream at 7% of the total mixture. 6% nic, 70VG/30PG. Even let it steep for close to a month going to the basement and shaking it up every day. No idea, may just need to ramp up the flavoring. Still donāt know why I kept getting the harsh throat hits. Iāve dropped from 8mg to 6 so itās not an issue of too much for me.

Not sure on the lnw strawberry milkā¦ but the banana cream is a bit too highā¦
best way to tell yourself, is to try them as solos and find where you like to taste them bothā¦
then when you put them together, you only need a small adjustmentā¦

Solid advice, will definitely try that out. Thanks much!
- On a separate noteā¦ Anyone in the U.S. know if youāre going to have to be 21 to buy nicotine online now that the nationwide laws been set in place? Itās a real bummer for me. Iām 19 now, started smoking like a moron when I was 14, then started vaping once I turned 18 and havenāt touched a cigarette since. Now I canāt go in anymore of the vape shops around me, or buy any pre-made juice. I have no idea if Iāll still be able to buy sub-ohm tanks and coils. If not Iāll just keep sending it on the RDAās I guess, but no-matter what it still comes back to whether or not Iāll be able to buy nicotine. Canāt get around that one. Have to find a buddy to buy it through otherwise I guess.
