Orange nic base

[davetherayon]

When I see the nic base (using 72 ml here) go off colour, it goes in the bog. But! This week Marco on VTTV did a video of 'how to make your own juice for new folks' and in it he used a bottle of base liquid that was bright orange. I posted on the chat thread 'hmm that looks a bit orangey' and Dave Dorn agreed, people though in thread were saying that orange nicotine base isn't off, it oxidises losing a bit of its nicotine strength, but is otherwise ok.

Any chemists online who can advise? Last thing we need is throwing away good nic. Well, second last, before dying of oxidised nicotine base.

I wouldn't care if mine went black.

As a mean Jock, nothing gets wasted!!!!!

One litre of mine has gone a bit off colour but it is still okay and some of the mixes I made last year are almost black now but they still taste okay and that is good enough for me.

IMHO, as long as it tastes fine and it does the job, who cares what colour it is.

My feeling exactly.

Although if you store Nic Base, in Amber glass in the freezer that slows down any degradation/colour change . . . there's only the need to have a small amount out ready to use.

Sorry guys just seen this. As above, there is technically nothing wrong with it when it goes orange other than some oxidation has occurred and it may lose some strength. What sort of volume are we talking about here?  Tasting funny is another matter though.

100 ML bottles *-SARIN-*.

Should be kept in the fridge / freezer and used as necessary this will slow down oxidation, i wouldn't throw it away though, perfectly usable even if not in prime condition.

Great info as always *-SARIN-*
