what the highest nicotine you can buy?

[TartanSpartan]

We have had this conversation numerous times about 72mg and every time the thread goes to the bin so...

Yep, I make up juice for a farmer I know - he pretty much takes it at 72mg with a bit of flavour, normally aniseed - he has no smartphone, no internet, a load of cows, but no way to order anything and no vape shop for 20 miles - I order the stuff and send it down to him snail mail, with the receipts - he just sends me back cash for the value of it. No profit made but probably still illegal - but better for him than the cigs.

It's not the size of the pen, it's how you sign your name.

Or so my wife tells me in bed.

Which is a bit suspicious because she knows that I am illiterate.

But I digress..

If 18mg is not doing it for you just up the wattage and airflow.

Where did the 72mg limit come from? Is tat the max a legit mixing business is allowed to buy, then make it into a 20mg mix for a nic shot or ready mix 20mg?
Because I can imagine they are getting it a lot stronger than that, if they're doing a load of nic salt bottles in one go - say 50 litres at a guess, I doubt they are buying 10-odd litres of 72mg when they can probably get it in horribly deadly strengths?
Whether from, or outside the EU...

Are you sure he's not just using you as a cheap source of insecticide?..

It's 72mg because 75mg is the UK law on nicotine as a poison, anything over 75mg in strength needs a poisons license. So they do 72mg to allow for any error and stop themselves getting a shafting.

That's not a lot of use wen you are buying a £20 vape stick to give up the cigs, though... I started mixing mine at about 50mg in a cheapo vape stick, then slowly tapered down the nicotine over a while till it was there for nothing, really - now sometimes I vape a bit of nicotine, sometimes none - I have put stupid strength in at 100W by mistake though, and had a few morning chain-vapes. 30 seconds later I'm on the bog with my guts falling out and my head spinning....

And that's for industrial use, 20mg and 10ml max for consumers because some dickhead will try to snort a bottle when they are pissed and as a result the rest of us have to suffer.

Nope, it'll be 72mg as the manufacturer has to keep a log of each batch produced, including the batch number of all ingredients such as flavours, VG/PG ect for full traceability.
