Hi ragjoy
so this old chesnutt again.
are both bottles the same strength nicotine. he did start putting batch numbers on the bottles as far as i can remember but then next order didnt have them.

its been asked many times as they just dont seem to be consistent even after being in buisiness for well over a year.
ive had 1800ml from them now and luckily only 1 bottle was so harsh it was unvapable and went down the sink.
all the rest have been ok but def needed a steep and the longer the better. 3-5 weeks should be plenty though.
im no expert when it comes to steeping but i think it needs a warm dark cupboard instead of a cold fridge which could well slow the steeping process.
no idea why 2 days apart would have such a different colour.
if you are on facebook you could send Jordan a message www.facebook.com/jordandragonsrise?fref=ts&ref=br_tf

at least now all their bottles will be zero nic so should be the same consistency but of course it all depends if some have been on shelves longer than others.
they have nic shots now which if by the picture ive seen are from darkstar with either vg or pg.
hope that helps
jim

hi jim, thanks for the input.
i also have had more than my fair amount from them around 2.5lts i think, with this litre.
all are marked 16mg but none are dated and they are just done with a marker.
i did have a lengthy whats app and text chat with i assume jordan this resulted in the 500ml replacement.
all of my past orders have been amber to some degree but these are very clear, they are probably fine so i will have to wait and see, i still have the original light 500ml as well, they said they would put a returns bag in with the replacement but they didnt.
i have plenty of freezer stored nic to add myself in the future so no problem there.
i had read various inconsistency issues but mine had all been fine apart from a loose top on a bottle which leaked, badly and was replaced.
hopefully as you say now its no nic it will all ok.

2.5lts wowza and i thought i was bad lol
its still my all day vape at work in my subtank mini on istick40 but only got around 200ml left.
i have got around 10litres of ready made to keep me going though with about 10 other custards so i think i need to start using some of that next.

did you ever try any of the other flavors. personally i found some of them rank or tasteless but the custards were always spot on except that one bottle.

Me and flavours don't get on so once I find something I stick with it.
I mix this 50/50 with a no flavour 16mg mix as I can't take heavy flavours of certain flavours, I get severe headaches just sniffing to strong of some smells, even those things you plug in the wall, some of them set me off.
Yet glues, solvents etc etc are fine, it's just perfume type smells.
After this lot has gone I will start doing my own mixing, I've done a bit in the past but found this flavour and I love it, I've not ever tried it neat.
Initially I watered it as wanting to test the flavour wasn't too strong, I then found I liked it like that so I stuck with it.

smifee has nic testing equipment . . . . perhaps if you PM him ragjoy , he might be kind enough to help out. Although as Dave says with flavour added the results could be skewed.

Steeping in a fridge, will always take longer as the cool temperatures slow down the oxidization process - which is why we all store base supplies in the freezer/fridge/coldest place possible to inhibit that. You would get a better idea leaving these mixes just in a cupboard for a few weeks before refrigerating them.  

That said, I have seen numerous quality control concerns from this particular source . . . . . .

I've only used the tests on claimed 72mg nicotine and have no idea if it would work on flavoured liquid.

All my failed mixes & those I get tired of get poured into a litre bottle. The result is called 'End of the Road' and the nicotine level is unknown. A friend likes it but vapes at 24mg. I've guessed that it's about 15mg and added nicotine to bring it up to 24mg. I'll try a test on it sometime.

Home mixers & commercial makers are at the mercy of the flavour manufacturers when they change ingredients. I use a Sherbet Lemon concentrate and the mixes had a yellow tinge. A new bottle of concentrate resulted in the mix being an orange colour.
