Is this change for cost or other reason?

Folks generally do not have issues switching carbon sources. I would not assume that 4x will give exactly the same results you previously got, but its a reasonable place to start.

Not sure there's much cost benefit since it requires so much more vinegar.
Vinegar seems more "natural"
I mean I can drink vinegar if I want. Not sure I could nopox?

Are you bacteria or human? Detritus is also natural, but I don’t want to eat it.

If vinegar works ill stick with it otherwise I'll go to vodka.

Vinegar is far cheaper than NOPOX. Some folks make a diy of vinegar and vodka, purely because it is so much cheaper.
