I made my first order of a starter kit on Black Friday - the shipping took longer than expected & they refunded my entire purchase.
Made my first few batches for me & some friends....now I'm hooked on DIY.
They have definitely earned a new, loyal customer.
Any recipes you specifically diggin?
I like nicotine river I've been using them for specific flavoring buys because they have great prices on certain concentrates for example TPA Vanilla swirl and white chocolate are $4.50 for a 2oz there and many of the 1 oz flavor west stuff is in the $2-2.20 range.
Also most orders ship free which is cool. Still use bullcity and ECX because availability/price differences and because i use a couple things from hangsen (only on bullcity of the three) and jungle flavors which is only on ECX.
Generally if I have a small order (1-2 flavors) I'll go with nic river for the free shipping.
An easy one I love :
- TFA pear 6%
- TFA strawberry 3%
- TFA honeydew 3%
I mix it to 70VG/30PG at 6mg nic. A couple of days for steep time lets the honeydew calm down a little bit and lets the other flavors come out a bit more, but can be shake and vaped if needed. You should check out /r/diy_ejuice they have tons of awesome recipes. TFA: The Flavor Apprentice
did they get rid of weight based free shipping? used to be about 8oz of flavors would get you free shipping and now even a gallon of VG isn't offering it. i see they dropped the cost of their gallons by $6 but with increased shipping costs it actually makes it $7.50 more expensive.
hmm... at that price point it might be time for me to start looking for other sources of VG/PG. i rarely ever order $75 worth of stuff in one go from one vendor. luckily i JUST bought a gallon of VG on black friday so i'm set for a pretty good while.
They sent out this big giant email about they are being forced to change their shipping policy on any nic over 48mg and a giant list of flavors that are considered flammable. In the letter they said they aren't offering free shipping at this time while they sort things out.
Edit - NM I see it's been posted below.
They don't do free shipping for the gallons of VG there are a few excluded items. Most orders of just flavors and nic will ship free
right, i've been ordering from them since i started diy and every time i've gotten free shipping. it used to be anything between 1lb and 25lbs shipped free. my last order with a gallon of VG and half a liter of pg shipped free.
now even ordering straight flavor concentrates 20oz won't trigger free shipping. it doesn't trigger until you pass the $75 mark now.
Just got this email
Definitely going to be going with Nicotine River. My last purchase with Nude Nicotine was awful. Shipped a week after purchase and then shipped with UPS Surepost when I specified and paid for a different shipping service.
I ordered some nicotine from them on black Friday as well. It showed up on time but who ever packaged the bottle didn't screw the lid on tight and it leaked all over inside the plastic bag. I sent then an email with pictures of what happened and they emailed me back a few hours later saying a new bottle is on the way.
Excellent customer service.
Probably a bit late to comment but lucky you. I won't be purchasing from them again because of the shipping delays. They weren't able to ship it for close to 2 weeks and were rude when I asked for an update. They claimed to have sent me 2 emails explaining the delays before my inquiry but I never received any emails. Spam mail or general inbox. And that was the only update I received. If you can't update me with delays properly I won't be doing business with them. And to suggest I'm in the wrong for not reading 2 emails I never received.
Sorry to hear that.
I got 2 emails after Black Friday stating that there would be shipping delays of 3-5 days. After 12 days I emailed to let them know that this wasn't a good first impression. The owner emailed me back a few hours later & let me know he refunded my purchase. I'll dig up the owners' email if you want, maybe you will have better luck with him directly.
