Just received my order this afternoon. Will report back in the AM with my review
Have you gotten a chance to experiment with it yet? I'm eager to see what people think since I just ordered some.
Along with my actual order they sent me another package with a 30 ml sample. So I added flavoring and shook up. I tried it the next day and was not impressed. Either my Griffin was having trouble wicking it, which I find hard to believe, or I needed to wait the recommended 3 day steeping time. I have yet to try it again but as soon as I do I will make a new post with the results.
Pricing Was quite pleased with coupon code. Shipping was about $15...
Selection Had Exactly what I was looking for. I think if you are interested in just starting with DIY, you could do well with a lower nic level and just add flavor.
Shipping Time I ordered just before the holiday weekend and feel like this added time. I was required to fill out a release of liability form(For 50mg/ml and higher I believe) and return it before order was processed, this also added time. All said and done, felt like shipping was a little slow.
Customer Service Real good. I called prior to order with Q's and felt they were answered. Polite. Lots of email contact after order.
Order Problem Responses & Resolution Did not know about liability form, added a little time to order. Once you have one on file, you are good. They are quick to respond with any Q's. Was easy to just call them and chat with employee.
Packaging Wife opened package before I got home from work, but said packaging was top notch.
Customer Service & Response to Contact Quite pleased. All Q's and concerns dealt with quickly.
Notes before use. I have kept my nic in Amber containers prior to this and LIQUIDLABS nic has a yellow tint to it. I have not used it yet viscosity seems low. I want to build a Zahn Cup and time it compared to 50/50 PG/VG. Will try to figure this out and post pics of clarity.
Have since mixed a batch. When drawing up nicotine viscosity seems on par with 50/50 blend.
Edit, added shipping cost
Edit 2, add Photo and update viscosity.
Funny thing is that they say it should be more like 70VG/30PG :|
Thank you for your feedback! Things definitely got delayed with the holiday weekend and the rush of initial orders during our first week of business. We did our best to keep up and stay in touch with everyone who ordered during that period. In the future, production time should be quicker. Sounds like you're liking the product so far, so I'm happy to hear that.
Just got mixed my first batch with this so I'll give a quick review.
Background I vape 30/70 PG/VG 3mg using Carolina Xtracts 100mg/ml. Setup used is a Griffin 25 with 0.2 ohm fused claptons at 70w. Juice used is a fruity blend that has been my ADV for about a month so I know exactly what kind of flavor/throat hit to expect. I ordered 30ml of their 48mg/ml nic base and 500ml of 0 nic base.
Shipping I ordered on the last day of their 20% off sale so I expected a bit of delay. My order shipped 5 days after it was placed and arrived at my door 2 days later. Packaging was decent, it came in a rather large box filled with packing peanuts and the bottles wrapped in bubble wrap. They also included a squeeze cap thing for the 500ml bottle of base which was a nice touch.
Viscosity Their rep said it's comparable to a 30/70 blend but I'd say it's closer to 50/50 or maybe 40/60. It's been wicking perfectly fine though so no complaints there.
Flavor/Throat hit Flavor is very clean, no off flavors or anything of that nature. Throat hit is pretty much non existent. I was very surprised at how smooth this stuff is.
Vapor This stuff produces some very dense vapor. It actually caught me off guard on my first puff and I choked a bit from how dense it is. I would say it's comparable to an 80 or 90 VG juice.
Conclusion All in all I'm very pleased with this product. I'm definitely going to be ordering more once this batch runs out. Highly recommended.
Right on! Glad you liked it. People are always surprised at how much vapor it puts out even though it doesn't have the density of a max VG juice. Thanks for posting up this review, it's much appreciated.
No problem! I think I read in an email that you guys are gonna be releasing a line of flavor concentrates soon? Do you have any more info on that you can share?
We are planning on stocking our store with some pre-mixed flavor recipes to go along with our base liquid. That way people can buy their base in whatever Nic level they need, then add the premixed flavorings and they're ready to vape.
Testing out some PDO based flavors made by Real Flavors right now actually. Should be a good fit!
My order has been shipped. Should be here 06/06 and ordered the first day. So far I didn't like the fact that I had to sign a waiver for buying 100mg nic. I understand they want to cover they're selves but it was a bit of a pain to print, sign, and send it back to them. To me it could delay shipping.
The waiver for highly concentrated Nic was required by our manufacturing facility in order for them to be willing to ship to individuals that don't hold a business license or liability insurance. I know it's not ideal, but we have to do it to keep ourselves protected from being sued in the event of an accident.
Once you sign it, you won't have to sign it again for future orders.
How did you get your expected ship date? I received no tracking...
You're tracking number will be emailed to you as soon as your order moves from processing to completed. You can then see the estimated arrival date by clicking the tracking number. If you want me to check on your order just PM me with your order number and I'll look into it.
Has anybody had any success mixing by weight using VaporBase?
I bought 4oz of 100mg/mL, but the specific gravity calculations of their concentrations are still unknown. I have contacted support but they "do not have the right type of scale on hand, since they all mix by volume."
My nic is just idling in my freezer and I can't mix any juice until I know the weight per mL that I can plug into my juice calculator.
Yes, we do not have a scale that goes to 3 decimals in the lab. But I'll be sending a full batch of samples in every Nic concentration to a user from ELR tomorrow for them to accurately weigh it for us. So the weight per ml should be available by the end of this week. Apologies for the delay on this info.
