Quality UK Nicotine

[s3rv3d]

Looking for good quality nicotine in the UK, I think the stuff I've got has a peppery taste. Its the first nicotine base I've purchased and in the recipes I've tried its seems to overpower the flavours. In comparison to some pre-mixed juices I've had, nothing premium, Hangsen, Virtual Vape etc I don't get a tingly peppery taste on my tongue and the roof of my mouth with them like I do with this. Its fine with RY4s but fruits and custards it kind of kills the flavour.

Whats your preferred supplier of nicotine currently? Not necessarily the cheapest, but pure and clean.

I can't recommend one because I've only ever used justvape247.
But I can't say I've ever noticed a peppery taste!

So yeah, wait for other replies

For nicotine I found AG based to be the best. Give it a go. Vapersemporium are doing 30% off right now

There's no reason to think any established vendor is selling low quality nicotine, but if you're concerned, use one of the better known ones.

Chef's Vapour, JustVape247, The Alchemist's Cupboard and the aforementioned Vaper's Emporium, where £40 for 500ml is a good price.

I have used a few but now I always buy from UK Flavours £16.99 for 250ml and no postage. I have never had a bad batch from them , they sell out almost every month (usually the day before I need to order) so it's always fresh.

Ukflavours.com for me too tbh for exactly the same reasons they have a very fast turn over of stock so you know it's fresh and a whole litre for £54 @ 70mg Inc postage you just can't beat the price and I've never ever had a bad batch!! Stupid question but you are steeping your juices aren't you? If I try a juice I've just mixed it is peppery but leave it a week or 3 and it's perfect

i use vapetastik never had any problems.

i think i read the otehr day if nic has a peppery taste thats not a sign its going off /out of date.


not my words, copied and pasted from another source but may help

Steps to take to narrow down if that harsh peppery taste is coming from either the NIC, the PG or the VG.

Peppery or harsh taste is usually caused by old or cheaply extracted Nicotine solution. Or it could simply be that your vaping a strength that's to high for you. The following procedure will help you determine what base component is causing the issue and what you can do to tweek your base to fit your needs.

Step 1. Vape just the PG alone (No NIC, VG, DW or flavoring). If no pepper taste is detected then.

Step 2. Vape just the VG alone (No NIC, PG, DW or flavoring). If no pepper taste is detected then.

Step 3. Mix your usual base (NIC/PG/VG) to your usual vaping strength (6mg, 12mg, 18mg what ever it is....) and don't add flavoring. Vape this base and If you get the peppery taste then you know it's the NIC and not the VG, PG or flavoring.

Now you can carry that one step further, if your usual vaping strength is let say 12mg reduce the base to let say 9mg and see if it's less peppery. If it's better then you found your new vaping strength.

Then from there you can adjust your PG/VG ratio to smooth it out even further (all done without flavoring).

For example lets say you found that 9mg is much smoother then 12mg but not smooth enough.

Try different PG/VG combos at 9mg such as 60VG/40PG or 70VG/30PG/5%*DW or 80VG/20PG/7 - 10%*DW.

Note: * DW = Distilled water

Once you found the base that works for you repeat your favorite mixes using the new base and boy will you notice a huge difference in flavor.

If you are quitting cigarettes or have just recently quit you may be concerned about the effects of nicotine withdrawal. Well I was a smoker for 40 years and this method of adjusting the base concerned me as well. I can say with all honesty that the Nicotine reduction did not affect me at all. And others reported that if they did display withdrawal symptoms the effects lasted an hour or so but their bodies adjusted very quickly to it. Also if you’re getting a harsh peppery taste this usually means that your NIC level is too high in the first place.

And that my friends is how you adjust your base to fit your needs.

Some other things to consider

NIC is a big factor in the smoothness of a mix. If you have a harsh peppery NIC you’re going to have a harsh peppery mix. Purchase several different brands of nic from different venders until you find the NIC that's right for your particular taste. Strength of the MIX also plays a big part. Compare a 6mg and 12mg mix and you will see the difference. The higher the strength the harsher the mix. What also plays a big part in smoothness is the mixture ratio. The higher the VGconcentration the smoother the mix. Flavoring for the most part has the smallest roll in smoothness if mixed correctly. Some flavorings will influence smoothness but not as much as the fore mentioned. Over flavoring especially with sweet flavorings will cause the coils to bake and crust over with burnt resin. Sweet flavors usually require vaping at a lower voltage or higher ohm value.

What also plays a big part in smoothness is the hardware used to vape with. Especially if using MODS. To high a voltage or a very low coil ohm value will burn to hot causing a harsh almost burnt taste so this is also another consideration to take into account. If using a VB adjust the voltage lower if to harsh, if using MODS wrap coils with a higher ohm value if the vape is to harsh. Dirty or old coils will also cause this.

Are you guys using PG or VG base? There's another thread where the op got VG base nic from UKF and says it's almost unusable.

I've got PG and it's fine.
