charliehorse as you appear to be still alive it is probably not 100%
Its not my nic base that's the problem Richard46 - Tease-smiley ......... just my stupidity
Sorry charliehorse I lost the thread (again) On the bright side nicotine can help with confusion and memory loss (according to some) so perhaps there is hope for us.

OK. So a quick update on the situation.
I received my new nic base, PG, VG from a different vendor and mixed 3 10ml bottles this week at 6mg.
I have had a heavy cold this week so I didn't try any of them until last night and this morning. I was already feeling a bit dizzy from the cold so I thought it would be a waste of time to try any of them until I felt a bit better.
All three of the bottles I have tried have been spot on tbh. No nic rush from any of them and although my taste buds have been muted by the cold the flavour from the juices has been decent.
I think I may have to resort to contacting the vendor of my first batch now as I used the same mix calculator and scales with both nic bases and got totally different results.
If anyone would like to try the nic base from the first vendor I will happily post a sample out to them to try and confirm if it as at fault.

I was only wondering how you had got on - pleased to hear it's good news stu1873. If anyone would like to try the nic base from the first vendor I will happily post a sample out to them to try and confirm if it as at fault. Yes please . . . . I'll PM you my details now, was it VG base you had as I've plenty to compare it to.

Oh dear I'm a little concerned about the stuff I have in storage now Don't worry too much mate. I will send a sample to Perpetua to get a second opinion. I may well have messed up but i would like to confirm what the problem was before i flame a reputable vendor.

Oh dear I'm a little concerned about the stuff I have in storage now I'll echo what stu1873 has said jtc . . . . this particular VG base I have used without issue in the past and I've plenty in stock to compare it to, not that I am suggesting Stu is at fault nor the Vendor - although no one is infallible. I'll take some side by side pictures when I receive the sample, then go from there.

Sorry but you can't work out the MG strength of any DIY nicotine base from side by side visual comparison You can get an idea from a head to head vape test but only if one has a far higher MG content. Pure VG + pure nicotine has a well deserved reputation for spelling disaster the most infamous example was Box elder back in 2011.

I do realise all that cigeliquid . . . . the side by side photo's I'm intending using purely as a visual reference point. My intention is to make a 6mg mix, my regular subohming strength and try that . . . . it should be a starting test on strength. I ought to know soon enough with that and if Stu sends me sufficient then as I have smifee 's address I'll pop a sample in the post for him to test with his kit.

stu1873 Perpetua mike weaver93 Postmodern Smoking There's the right amount of nicotine in the sample. Nicotine test kit gives a result of 71.45439mg All those decimal places seem very impressive but you have to estimate by sight the amount of titrate added from a syringe. Because of that I'm happy if the result is within 2mg of the stated strength.

That's great . . . . thank you for more accurately confirming my unscientific method of testing smifee! I'm sure stu1873 will be glad of the news.

Thank you both for confirming I am a dumbass and have made a mess mixing my first juices. I am glad it was me that messed up tbh and not a well respected vendor. This is what makes this forum/community great. The people are so helpful and friendly. Thanks again guys, I am away to sit in the corner for a bit.
