I'm looking for some opinions on the nicotine that MFS sells. I'm not looking to buy a full liter of nic straight away, in case I suck at DIY or something, and they have a smaller size bottle that I think would be good for my first DIY attempts. Is their nic base a decent quality?
I've ordered other stuff from them before so I know their shipping and customer service are decent enough that I'd order again.
I've only had the nic from MFS so can't compare to other suppliers. That said I find their nic good quality and not harsh. I'll keep going back there for their nic.
Man ive tried avout 5-6 different nicotines. Some of the most recommended, id say just get nude nic. Every other I have tried has been real harsh. You can get a sample from them for like $3.
I'll second nude Nic. The nude armor v2 bottles are awesome
They are literally more than double the price of liquid barn... what's the deal with that?
I assume the price is higher due to their higher standards and testing they do with every batch? GC/MS stuff? I buy it because it's great quality and the bottles are basically childproof with the nude armor v2. I have children so I do everything I can to keep safety in mind
I've been ordering from them for about 4 (maybe 5?) years now. They're solid. I like the options they offer. Their prices are excellent. They ship fast, and they consider their supply chain.
I'm a happy customer and I say go for it.
I only ordered from them once and it was unvapable. Harsh as in battery acid kinda harsh.
To be fair, that was years ago and I am guessing it was one bad batch. It was my first ever DIY order and I didn't realize right away it was the nic being bad that was literally scalding my tongue and numbing my taste buds for a couple of days at a time. There is no way they were normally selling a product that bad and mistakes happen. I personally love Nude Nic, but you see people from time to time posting about getting a bad bottle. So maybe MFS will be great for you. And their prices are really good.
> battery acid kinda harsh
This is what I'm hoping to avoid, obviously. I think at this point, based on the recommendations, I'm just gonna try to get a sample sized bottle from the various vendors and see what I have the best luck with. I just really don't want to get stuck with a liter bottle of nicotine suspended in battery acid.
Yeah, I don't want to shit on MFS too bad and this is the only time I have ever posted their name in connection with the story only because you were asking specifically about them. I think any vendor can end up with hot spots or a single bad bottle. I haven't hit another one since, but people post about it enough from very reputable vendors that it's obviously a thing.
I didn't figure MFS would stay on the list of recommended vendors if lots of people in this sub had problems with their products. They just seem to be a little bit on the 'budget' side of things so I wanted to see what others had to say about their nicotine, specifically.
"Not in anyway bashing MY FREEDOM SMOKES" but my first 500ml from them in 3 months started to taste peppery. I broke down the 500ml into glass dark amber 100ml bottles and put them into my freezer. I started to taste by the 4th bottle a peppery after taste and ended up throwing out the 5th bottle and after reading the sidebar and posts about NN I orders from them. I would suggest getting Nude armor V2 bottle as that one has a bottle tip that self seals when removing your needle tip. Keeps from oxidation and the nic has tasted the same from day one.
Yeah, from posts here and talking to some DIY guys locally, I'm getting the impression that MFS is fine for most things but buy nic somewhere else. Which is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for.
I did end up buying Nude because a local store has the 500mL sizes. It's really smooth. I mixed some 9mg nic juice for someone and it didn't kill me when I test vaped it. I normally can't vape anything over 6mg. So I think I'll continue sourcing nicotine from Nude.
I must say the only problem I have had with them is shipping times. I had ordered their 10ml or 15ml sample and it took a couple of weeks to get it delivered. Then I started to see other posts with the same issue. That was at the time a deal breaker for me. But i read their newsletter and it explained that they were moving into a bigger lab and shipping times were pushed back. I guess no biggie and I purchased lots more nic from them since then. I do keep an eye on my stock and purchase accordingly, so I don't run out.
Thanks for all your replies.
Nude Nic kind of put me off because all I could find on their site was the 1L bottles. If they do sell smaller quantities I'll give them a try as well.
All you have to do is choose the size of bottle you want...
Nude Armor V2 is the kind I have.
I've never had an issue with MFS nic. On the other hand, I get 120s from them (I'm local) and store it in the freezer until ready to open. Open nic stays in the fridge. Always shaken before use. @ 3mg, a 120ml bottle lasts about forever for me. Still on last year's bottle.
Not throwing mud, but I wonder how people store their nic when not in use. Had buddy that used to store it in the kitchen cupboard in plastic and wondered why it got dark & sucked up stanky off flavors.
