Hello guys, i haven't been on the sub for a while as I.... started smoking again. but trying to get back on the vape train and really wanna make some legit juices with labels and all!
the nicotine i get is from a dude at a fleamarket (401 dixie if any of you are in the toronto area). problem is i find the nicotine to be quite harsh and has quite a dark colour. Its not the worst or anything like the horror stories ive heard about northern nic but i would love to move on up.
I was about to order from nude nic and then very sadly realized they can't ship to Canada. This led me down the hole realizing that apparently Canada has a big problem with this that i didn't really take into account as i was never getting my nic online. My next stop was reading u/booksofmagics post of him reviewing canadian nicotine suppliers. They're great posts but seem to be a bit outdated now. I read hydavapes review saying it was clear, flavourless, and very smooth and was excited to go place an order but saw they didnt have any nicotine on their site.
So in terms of nicotine my question is, where in canada right now can i get some clear, smooth, flavorless nicotine, preferably pg based? also could anyone shine some light on what ive seen in some posts about some companies kinda selling secret nicotine or why they do it?
Second question is relating to labels. A buddy and I have been trying to design some cool labels to slap on our juices, both for ourselves and in hopes to make them look legit if we wanna sell some. I went to go back to a site that i saw made you labels if you sent them your design but they seem to no longer do it. The site was fusion flavours and when i checked(last year i believe) they sold both nicotine and did label printing. Im hoping to be able to send in our design, and have them send us nice and shiny labels which is what fusion flavours had going . The bottles im planning to put the labels on would be the 30ml child proof ldpe bottles they have at diy eliquid with balck caps .
So if you can help me....
Where can i find a nice clear flavourless, smooth, pg based nicotine or the closest thing to it in Canada?
Where can i find a company that i can send designs into where they can print good quality labels for me? what size is the average design for a 30ml bottle label?
Also last post i made was a search for blueberry. I thought it was real blueberry i was looking for by i might have been wrong. The following recipe ended up being almost exactly the flavour i was trying to clone(galleon) after a day steep. Let me know what you think if you try it.
- 5% Blueberry CAP
- 3% Sweet Cream TPA
- 7% Vanilla Custard V1 CAP
- 2% Caramel TPA
Agreed... if you are looking for 'consumer' quantities, definitely recommend The Broke Vaper.
I'm not clear on your post if thats what you are after or if you are looking to go bigger and buy wholesale quantities. If so, you might need to ask him yourself.... right /u/thebrokevaper ?
Yes, many companies wont tell you what nic they are selling. Likely because it is not being imported legally, so they cant tell you its source. And yes, some of the nic is not good. One of the very few that discloses is indeed the Broke Vaper; as others here have said. He sells Nic Select. That's about the best you can get in Canada at the moment. (but see below) He's in TO as well, and offers local pick up so that you don't have to pay shipping if you choose not to. He also offers a pretty decent selection of flavour lines, his pg and vg are both good, and also bottles etc. Danny. Good guy. Give him a try/shout. I don't know what type of volume he would supply regarding nicotine....you'd have to ask if its feasible or not. Like Zorro, I am unsure what quantities you are looking for.
Also in TO is Salk Street. He is importing his nic from Europe I believe it is. Legally. He can tell you all about it. He will do larger volumes as well. If you plan on selling juice, having the source, lot number etc would be important I would think. Ask for the owner. He is one of the partners I believe, but definitely who you want to talk to regarding nicotine. I don't know the quality of this nic, as I havent tried it personally, but he "claims" its some of the best nic available in Canada. I buy my nic from Carolina Extracts in the US simply because I can and its better than Nic Select. But I had a chat with him and if I was in the market for buying nic up here I would definitely be considering him as well; at least giving his nic a try. He also sells DIY supplies/flavours etc and they are expanding their flavour lines apparently.
As to hydavape, yes they sell nic, at least they used to, but they are one of the companies that refuse to disclose. She actually hung up on me when I pressed her about its source and why I would buy it without knowing what it was. Needless to say, I don't do business with them :) Which is too bad, as they aren't that far from me. But with that attitude, I took a pass and chose the Broke Vaper in TO for some of my stuff. I had a hard time wrapping my head around the nic issue in Canada when I first got into DIY. But some juice vendors explained it to me...they simply can't disclose, because a lot of it is not in our country legally. Very few people have the right to import it. And for me personally, that became an issue. I want to know what the heck I am putting into my juice. And I really am not that keen on the whole "who knows where it comes from, how it was transported, stored etc" facet of things. I didn't care for the whole hush hush nature of things. At the prices being charged for nicotine in Canada, I would hope to be buying legally imported goods. And know their source. Supporting the black market with outrageous mark ups just didn't sit well with me :)
Good luck! Glad to hear you are getting back off the smokes :)
Amazingly informative comment, thank you so much.
Ya i just found out about this apparent "underground nicotine market" haha. I'm planning to probably get it from where I buy my juices as I found out they sell nic through a message.(don't know if I should say the name?) Wish I saw this before I started doing that though as t.o is right next door and I would love to be able to go in person.
Thanks so much, your comment should be in the sidebar in a "canadian help" section or something haha!!
I just ordered NicSelect from Danny at TBV. $60/240ml (100mg/ml) is not too shabby for reputable nicotine.
I haven't tried it before, and until this point I've just used the nicotine from DIY-ejuice.com. If you message them as you submit your order ($20/120ml of 100mg/ml) they can add it to your cart after submission. It has been fine, no true complaints other than getting a bottle of 100%VG nic mistakenly - dreadful to work with out of the freezer, lol.
It sounds like Canadians are having some luck getting nic salts over the border from nude nicotine, but I'm very hesitant to spend top dollar on a delivery that may never be made (if CBSA does their job right).
I get my nicotine from diy-ejuice.com. It is not on their site but if you message them they can add it to your order. They told me it is Nic Select nicotine. I have never used any other nicotine before but it seems to be good quality. It is a tad pinkish but i have heard that that is fine.
