By the time we run out of nicotine, they’ll have implants we can program to deliver whatever drug we like in whatever dose feels ahhh.

Sure, yeah probably not but wouldn’t it be good :smirk:

What’s this forum all about, SD? I mean the obvious, yes, but are there other important subjects?

OK nevermind, great post on nicotine and it’s a UK vape forum that I just didn’t know about.

Rate of degradation.

Nicotine in PG solution is noted to be stable at room temperature (20°C) when exposed to air and (indirect) sunlight for up to 2 months with only a 2.1% drop in concentration.

This indicates that an open container of Nic/PG base at 54mg would degrade to approximately 52.8mg.
An open container of PG e-liquid at 18mg would degrade to approximately 17.5mg.

Similar minimal degradation (2%) is noted to have occurred after storage in a domestic freezer for around 18 months.
(I only have one source for this, numerous others all appear to cite or plagiarise the original).

Various tests carried out at 40-80°C for up to 20 days appear to show no degradation of Nicotine in PG within a sealed container.

Breakdown of the chemical structure of Nicotine is noted to begin at approximately 300°C in an oxidising environment.

(The flavours and aromas associated with any particular mixed e-liquid would be subject to higher rates of degradation in much less severe environments).

PG - Propylene Glycol
VG - Vegetable Glycerin
Vodka - assumed 37% ABV (Cos that’s what I had in me blooming cupboard!)

A UK VAPING FORUM… HAD NO IDEA! Representing the colonies whoop whoop

River is great, I’ve tried few times to get them to answer what may holds for shipping, they’ve ignored all emailed questions, completely, kinda funnily really.

They did tell me what I’ve accepted, glass bottles are better long term but also kinda wishy washy, I guessed bc if they’re better then they’d have more info on this, long term storage, supplies, wouldn’t they sell more of. They could tell us ā€œOK, here’s how to buy and store 20 years of nic baseā€ and theyd be able to do that better.

I’m figuring as my nic degrades it’ll be like stepping down in nic, but automatically and without knowing :joy: one day I’ll eventually be vaping pure diluent and not even know it
