_Trip_ said:...now I decided to use D-limonene which BW data indicates it works (at boiling) I just heated in a water bath. But decided to salt it out with benzoic acid. This could be a better and more selective alternative to citrate or fumarate goo/ gum.

Information for formulators – Vaporises at lower temperatures, low pH and better nicotine absorption. Specifically, nicotine benzoate appears to reduce, mask or neutralize the taste of the nicotine. In research (Li et al), nicotine benzoate was shown to have the best properties in taste, reduction of throat irritation and maintenance of nicotine stability. Near neutral pH with a soft throat hit. Our most popular salt. (pH value 6.2 ±0.5).
Information for vapers – Nicotine benzoate was one of the first nicotine salt to hit the mass market helping to create the nicotine salt buzz. Our test panels noted that it was very smooth to vape while offering a rapid and notable nicotine hit

But you said also before a Naphtha defat was needed. So which part would you short then?
1. Naphtha defat
2. Aceton extraction
3. Crash out with Benzoic acid
Now the TEK speaks of Fumaric Acid as most members may have this instead, but then until here it would be the same amount of steps I guess? Anyhow benzoic now to me seems cooler for just about any purpose of previously used Fumaric Acid
- just as non-hygroscopic
- much more soluble in acetone
- Most importantly: Much easier to give a definite ratio, as it will crash out 1x Cation instead of 1-2x
Benzoic acid is also directly soluble in naphtha
