liquid question, is this liqua?

[panzee]

Hi, I've had this eliquid from a friend of mine, its strawberry Italian flavored ejuice, I got couple of questions about it, first can I post a photo.


1) I checked on liqua and I think they are made by the same company name called "Heng Thavorn" but this ejuice called "Hengthavorn" and not Liqua, and the box looks exactly like Liqua's box, is it a knockoff, or is it liqua?

2) If you notice the photo, where it says "6mg, 12mg, 18mg" there are blank boxes near it, and none of them is marked, in the ejuice language does this mean that the ejuice I have has zero nicotine?

3) What do you think the ratio of pg/vg of this ejuice, it says in the ingredient that it has pg + vg + water + italien flavor"

I'm curious - are the numbers below the UPC code on the box the same?

Hi Lisa, sorry but I couldn't understand what exactly is the UPC ? Is it the bar code of the product? or is it something else? I don't see any code the product apart from the EXP Date which states, Nov 2014 and after that a small number that says "B251" I'm not sure what that means exactly

 

[Lisa66]

Right - the bar code on the box on the right has a number under it (UPC - universal product code). Does the box on the left have the same number? It could just be different packaging for a different market/country. I've seen that in everything from laundry detergent to food products.

Edit: B251 could be a batch number, or production run, maybe?

Oh, I got what you mean Lisa now.

But I'm not comparing the right one from the left one, they are both the same, just different angle . I'm just showing people to see whats inside. and I checked to see the Liqua barcode of the strawberry, but couldn't find it online.

Now my question how can I know if there's a nicotine in it or not, this is driving me nuts.

Thanks, then mine is fake. darn I can never find a legitimate juice in this country, everything is fake. and I hate to smoke something into my lungs that is fake or badly made, how else can I know if it is good made if not trade mark, and I need my nicotine...im like stuck now, can't go back to cig and can't smoke ecig, so screwed.

I have also had an experience with fake Liqua.

If the bar code, expiration date, and batch number aren't on a sticker adhered to the box, it's probably fake.

Order nicotine base (from known good source) at the strength you vape and an ounce of RY4 Double from the Perfumer's Apprentice. Mix at 7-10% and vape on! Good luck to you.

I wish that I know how to make my own eliquid, i'd like to make one that taste like real tabacco

Tobacco juices (followed by chocolate) are probably the hardest to make plus somewhat dependent on personal taste. The TFA RY4 is highly recommended; it's a delicious sweet tobacco with caramel and vannila notes. And using the above approach for DIY is very easy.
