I bought my first DIY kit from Liquid Barn. Shipping was fast and the packaging was excellent. I didn't like that I wasn't able to choose my flavors but it's a kit and with me being new to DIY it didn't bother me that much. Since then I've been using mostly TFA flavors. I'll continue to buy my liquids from Liquid Barn though. Looking around I've found their prices to be average and I know their nicotine is good quality so why take chances?

Thanks for the review! Just wanted to let you know that after seeing the demand for being able to choose your own flavors, we made our flavor kits customizable.

My go to vendor for Nic. I have ordered Nic from 3 other vendors and Liquid Barn is my favorite. No harshness, no funny taste, clean and mixes well. Fast handling and fast shipping. Usually leaves their facility within a business day.

Dont know about their customer service, because I never had to reach out to them for any issues. Huge plus.

Never any leaky bottles when I order. Packaging is nice and compact. Warning labels on the Nic is great.

Also they have a coupon code for us, "reddit" gives 15% off if I am not mistaken.

Do you get nicselect or the USA nicotine, currently trying to decide between the two.

First couple of orders were for the nicselect. Its great stuff. My last order which I haven't been able to mix with is the USA Nic.

I would suggest trying to Nicselect only because Ive dealt with it. After doing some research i found this from /u/iquidbarn

"The USA nicotine has a darker tint and has a strong earthy aroma compared to our NicSelect Nicotine, which has a more synthetic aroma. This is not due to any oxidization. It is just the natural characteristic of the USA Liquid Nicotine. Both USA and NicSelect should be tasteless when vaped and again the aroma/fumes should not be directly inhaled"

Yeah I was leaning toward nicselect anyway since i couldn't find a ton of info on the USA nicotine, it's my first order so don't want to fuck up and get nic I don't care for. thanks for the help :D.

I placed my 1st ever nic order from them about a month ago. I got the USA the 1st time and was kinda worried because it looked slightly orange in the bottle, but turned out to be way pretty much clear once I separated it into smaller bottles. I was worried about the smell and color since it was my 1st order and i didnt know what nic was supposed to look like or smell like(i have since learned you are not supposed to smell nic directly).Their customer service is great and they responded within an hr assuring me it was good and even offered me a sample of the nicselect brand. Needless to say they will be my go to nic supplier for awhile.

Liquid Barn has so far been my only vendor for PG/VG & Nic (their NicSelect Nicotine, specifically. I haven't tried their USA Liquid Nicotine, but they had a sale recently offering the Liquid Kit with 120ml of free nicotine, and that was the brand, so I'll be getting to it next). Their liquids are so pure, consistent and affordable, that I've been hesitant to try any other vendors, actually.

The prices are fantastic, especially for new DIYers, because they've got various comprehensive kits for everything from flavor to labware to liquids, so if you're itching to get started mixing right away, they make it easy without breaking the bank. I haven't personally tried their flavors, but I've heard good things, and I like that they're made specifically for e-juice, with no known chemicals that are unsafe to vape.

Every order I've put in has been processed within the hour, and on it's way in under 12. Plus, I find myself picking up stuff before I even really need it because they frequently have such great sales!

Packaging is always great especially the Liquid Kit, because it comes with a pair of nice, sturdy mustard-bottle-style squeeze caps that make pouring clean, fast and accurate. The way they pack for shipping, too, means I've never had any leaks or breaks.

Great company, would recommend without hesitation.

Quick Edit: The shipments and labelling always come with a TON of safety information too, advising you to thoroughly shake your nic, handle it with the proper care and safety gear, and store it in amber glass away from kids and pets. I wanted to mention that safety is clearly paramount to this company.

This review made me really happy. We try to pay attention to the little details regarding safety and user experience and its VERY cool to see someone point that out and show appreciation for it. I will be sharing all these reviews with the team. Thank you for taking the time to post this review.

I really love liquid barn. I am the mixer I am today between the help from liquid barn and this sub. They got me started with DIY and were very helpful. Excellent customer service and really great bases and extracts. 9/10

  • Shipping Time: shipped next day

  • Customer Service: really great. Shout out to Bobby!

  • Order Problem Responses & Resolution: I recently tried their USA liquid nicotine, and wasn't very happy with it. They were awesome enough to replace it with a nicselect batch. They totally didn't have to as I was told in advance that the USA liquid nicotine has a earthy aroma to it. But they did it any way.

  • Packaging: hands down best looking package. And never had any leaked liquids.

I don't have a review, but a question. I'm very new to DIY ejuice, so please forgive any ignorance. On your site, it says your flavor extracts have ethyl alcohol. How safe is that to use? With the articles released about popcorn lung, I'm being overly cautious. Thanks for the help.

2 points
 
by liquidbarnalmost 10 years ago

Good question. Although there are no long term studies done on vaping ethyl alcohol, it is currently considered ok to vape. Ethyl Alcohol is a commonly used solvent for some flavors.

As for safety concerns about popcorn lung... The concern around that has to do with the ingredient "Diacetyl". All of our flavors are Diacetyl free and we don't plan on using it in any upcoming flavors. You can see more info on our flavors on this page. Link

Just got their starter kit about 2 weeks ago. Good price for starting out. Was shipped in about 24 hrs.

Was happy with the flavor selection for starting out.

Impressed with the literature and breakdown of how to mix what to your preference, and had all the tools I needed to start.

Packaging was very nice. I was suprised at the boxes that everything came in. Neat and professional.

Haven't needed to utilize CS, but I'm sure it's great.

Would recommend to interested parties who want to try DIY. They converted me very well to do.

Thanks Liquid Barn.

I have been ordering from liquid bard for a little over a year now. I started with their starter kit. and have since gone on to try almost all of their flavors! Their nicotine tastes very clean too. I definitely reccomend them to anyone who wants to experiment with mixing their own flavors.

My go to for Nic and VG (I like what they offer and the price is fair for me so I'm not about to jump ship). Shipping is usually fast but FedEx can be a pita sometimes (especially during holidays). Their starter kit for DIY got me started though I'm not a big fan of their flavorings. I hope they or someone makes a starter kit that includes a scale for those who wish to start with mixing by weight.

FedEx and USPS have been so overwhelmed this holiday season. Hopefully your packages got to you in a timely fashion. We are in works of getting something available for mixers that want to mix by weight. Hopefully that will be available soon. Thanks for the review!

My first package of PG, VG and the free nicotine took like two weeks. I placed an order after that of a gallon of vg and they both arrived at the same time. All FedEx's fault as they kept shipping my package up and down the east coast before finally sending it near my area. Everything was all good, holidays and what not cause shipping nightmares with all the major shipping companies. That sounds awesome, hope it works out for you guys!

Disclaimer: I have done free lance work for Liquid Barn so... my review may be biased?

any ways, I Started DIY with their kit. Was in constant contact with them during the learning process. They were super helpful. As I got to know them more, they hired me as freelance graphic designer for one of their clients juice lines. Great people and really stand up company. I got to try one of their beta flavors for a fruity pebble type extract that they never released. It was seriously amazing but I don't know why they never released it. It may have had diacytal or something in it. Any ways, they are my go-to nic and flavor supplier.
