What makes a good nicotine base?

A question asked by many DIYers, with just as many answers – What makes a good nicotine base? What makes one nicotine base better than the other nicotine base of the same strength and PG/VG ratio? At first the answer seems easy – high quality pure nicotine will result in a high quality nicotine base. Right? Not necessarily. Let’s not forget that nicotine is only a small part of the final solution. What happens if you use high quality nicotine (such as PureNic 99+) and mix it with cheap, low quality PG or VG? Let’s have a look at the ingredients of nicotine base. Nicotine – high quality is crucial. Nicotine starts oxidizing when in contact with oxygen – this process turns flavorless, crystal clear substance into […]

PureNic 99+ now fully REACH registered!

We are happy to announce that our pure nicotine is now fully REACH registered, what does it mean?

REACH requires all companies manufacturing or importing chemical substances into the European Union in quantities of one tonne or more per year to register these substances with European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) in Helsinki. Sales of substances, which have not been pre-registered or registered, to the European market, is illegal.

To register, a manufacturer must collect and submit all data on the hazardous properties of substances manufactured or imported in quantities above 1 tonne per year. Submitted data is then evaluated by appropriate authorities. Substances of high concern such as carcinogens or mutagens will have to be authorised by ECHA, […]

NicSalt Shots vs. NicShots – nicotine salt shot and freebase nicotine shot comparison

Nicotine salts (nicsalts for short) are getting more popular among vapers. Every day more people are trying to figure out if nic salts are any good for them. Should you use nicsalt shots or stick to the good old nic shots? Let us try and explain a few things regarding nicotine salts and compare nic salt shots to regular, freebase nicotine shots.

Why freebase nicotine may not be your best bet?

Vaping started as a way for people to quit smoking but came a long way since then. When we started vaping, the market was limited to basic tobacco, mint, and fruit e-liquids with nicotine strengths of up to 36mg/ml being vaped on leaking vape pens. […]

Usually, but not always – there is a way to produce non-tobacco nicotine which is also called synthetic nicotine.

For decades, tobacco has earned its unfortunate reputation by associations with carcinogenic cigarette smoke, tar, lung, and cardiovascular diseases. The case is absolutely different for e-cigarette liquids: no burning tobacco, no smoke, or its health impacts. E-liquids manufactured with Chemnovatic’s tobacco nicotine contain pharmaceutical grade nicotine with purity of more than 99.9%. Chemnovatic’s freebase nicotine PureNic […]
