Have Ebay changed their policy regarding Nicotine?

Gold nicotine solution who are they kidding what they mean is OLD nicotine solution

Appearance
Light golden in colour, Sometimes referred to as gold nicotine solution.

ebay = Caveat emptor (or put in a claim)

They have some gall there and no mistake, I don't know if I should applaud them or curse them, curse them obviously but I'm still chuckling about their front.

I was looking at Lubrisolve who are also on eBay I have got VG and PG from and was shocked by how amber their pick of nic base is, it's not even like it's even that cheap.

Got the 10 ltrs of PG from Darkstar it was £43 vs £35 delivered from Lubrisolve (who I have had customer service issues with before), but still the cheapest part of the mix.

Trump Orange I'd have to call that shade!

It's put me right off Lubrisolve, I will only be getting things like IPA and acetone from them in the future. Although not new, I find it troubling that these business that accidently find vapers are customers are starting to add other vaping products when they mostly seem to be clueless about vaping. That crazy stetson warning wire company were the first and the worst IMO, but now seeing battery vendors and all sorts jumping on the band wagon.

I used Lubrisolve as well until like you i saw the Nic they were planning to sell and that was enough for me. To me if they think that nic looks good enough to advertise, what's the rest of the stuff like.

In theory every drop of nicotine base available to the UK public will have by law/regulations been made before the 19/11/2016

This requirement to stock up before the November 2016 cut off date resulted in some suppliers possibly stocking up without the freezer/fridge capacity.


The colour is likely down to storage ( conditions to warm along with air in head space)---colour does not always effect the finished e-liquid

REF: is, it's not even like it's even that cheap.

According to the web site this nicotine base has a "full Certificate of Analysis" this means they have paid a fair price for a quality product and require a margin that reflex the overheads and costs involved when selling/stocking a slow moving product that must be sold or binned by 20th May 2017

Looks like in a bid to make a kiling on the back of the TPD, they may have ordered an excessive amount without adequate storage space.
Whilst the colour may not affect the quality either of the product itself or the end produced e=liquid, it's certainly enough of an indication that the product may not have been treated how it should have been and would be enough for me to look to spend my wonga elsewhere.

I looked on Lubrisolve way back before people started buying their Nic for vaping as I was looking for something for the ponies and their site popped up and it was always that colour hence I never bought it when I started DIY , they have only got popular for Nic sales through F.bk groups that I can see.

Aha I remember it was Pig Oil that I was looking for when I found their site! Gosh that's a few yrs back then as I've been using PO for eons now

Used lubrisolve for the last two years for PG & VG with no issues. But seeing the pics of this stuff doesn't sit well with me. The last PG & VG I got was from Darkstar and not too impressed with their VG TBH. Need to find a new source for VG now.

Classikool and Mineral Waters used to be popular before many of these other Vendors arrived on the scene striker42:

And there's The Ecig Shop whose VG is made from Rapeseed, rather than an unspecified source of sustainable/unsustainable Palm Oil:

Just placed and order for 10 litres of PG, it will be a couple of months before I vape any of it but

My last couple of litres of pg have been from lubrisolve, clear, tastes as it should and no probs with the juice. Must say, i do 80% pg mixes but I only buy when required, never stockpile pg
