Who sells the absolute highest quality VG, PG, and Nicotine?

submitted over 9 years ago by p0rkr0ast

It would be great if I can buy all 3 from the same vendor but I don't mind placing separate orders from different vendors. I am just looking for the absolute best quality ingredients. There may be an undisputed answer or everyone may have their own preference, but I would like to hear it either way. If it's just personal preference, please share why you think this is the best quality.

Nicotine: Carolina Xtract (use my coupon code) -- the only SFE nicotine currently available -- organic nicotine and VG so less risk of pesticide pollutants (such as Po210) and also no risk of peppery nicotine

VG: From Nature with Love (organic VG) -- palm free and organic so less risk of pesticide pollutants (such as Po210)

PG: I don't use PG so I have no idea

Thank you so much, abdada! What is your coupon code for Carolina Xtract?

Use Dada1 (probably capital D, no space before number) -- also report back with a review if you love it/hate it.

Which bottle do you normally buy? It looks like you can buy it in a PG or an organic VG base, either 48mg/1ml or 100mg/1ml.

How did you get your own coupon code for Carolina Xtract? Is that your business?

I agree on Carolina Xtract as the highest quality available. But how is the sweetness of your recommend VG comapred to essential depot VG? The sweetness of the VG playes a big role in my recipes .

I think part of the sweetness is just water content. Mine is pretty sweet, though -- but I haven't had ED in probably a year, so I can't really compare anything.

Are your flavor extracts VG base? If so where do you get them?

Yep PG-free extracts. Lots of PG-free vendors now, I'll post a link this morning.

Ask the vendors if I receive ANY compensation for anything -- I don't allow vendors to compensate me in exchange for promotion.

The point originally was for a coupon for DIY -- I specifically asked them to make it generic like "DIYUSER" but they screwed up and never changed it.

That coupon value changes based on how many of us use it right? Or am I thinking of a different one for a different site?

He probably doesn't make anything off of that. He's sharing it for us. A lot of places will issue coupons, especially custom ones for discounts that already exist. His post also got many upvotes so I don't think he is the only one who feels that way. He also posted an alternative. If he was pushing just that company and stood to gain from people using that code then he wouldn't provide an alternative.

Thanks for your input.

I still haven't tried Carolina Xtract. But from all the other vendors i've tried i've been happiest with Liquid Barn's nicotine, PG and VG.

I've always been happy with VG and PG from EssentialDepot.com and if you need a lot of it that's a good place too. I bought a quart of PG and 2 gallons of VG from them.

For nicotine it seems like every single place has some bad reviews. Where someone was told it was the best and they got a bad product. I've personally ordered from Wizard Labs and Nude Nicotine and was happy with both products. I didn't notice any weird or peppery tastes at all.

Has Carolina Xtract had bad reviews? The only complaint I've seen is cost.

I'm sure there are more out there but there are 2 people in that thread. I'm not trying to say anything bad about any company here. Mistakes and bad batches do happen to everyone. From that post it seems like the company will definitely fix any issues so that's good.

I'm about to need some more nic and don't know where I'll be ordering from. These guys the 120ml sample ends up being $30 shipped to me. With Nude Nicotine it would be $25 and change for the same thing. If Carolina truly is better then I don't see any issue paying that $5 more because that really is not that much. I only need 120ml so I will probably give Carolina Xtract a try.

Dammit, Reddit search sucks, or I do at using it lol. I looked for something like this before asking that question. Good to know they will fix issues immediately.

I've gotten nicotine from ECX, DIY E-Liquid Supply (supposedly the same supplier ECX gets theirs from), and Nude Nicotine.

The nic I got from DIY was of decent enough quality. No inherent harshness or strange flavor. If they offered it in >18mg strength, I'd use them again. At the moment, I'm going through about a liter a month, with most of my finished juice being either 3mg or 6mg.
The nic I got from ECX was a different animal. It had a slightly stronger smell than the previous nic I got, but didn't have any weird flavor. However, it was incredibly harsh. They offer up to 36mg strength in normal graduations, then it jumps to 100mg. I tossed probably 120ml of the 250ml bottle. I'm not sure I'd give that one a second chance.
The nicotine I got from Nude Nicotine smells about the same as the ECX, which wasn't a strong aroma, but noticeable if you stick your face over the bottle. This is a characteristic of concentrated nicotine. Flavor is clean and clear, with no excessive harshness. My only complaint is the abysmal speed of service.

I'm still waiting on my first order from Nude. I figured I would order the PG, VG and nic from them, mostly because I didn't know it would take 10 years to receive my package. I'm sitting here looking at my scale, assortment of flavors, and empty bottles waiting for my base liquids to arrive lol

Titrate your nicotine before using. I find the nicotine a little bit stronger than my other vendor, but my friend swears it is twice as strong.

Thanks for the heads-up.
