I noticed Botboy's holy grail is slightly dated. Back when it was posted I ordered from Vape Clarity (which has obviously disappeared). Had no issues with the quality.
So I'm looking for an alternative.
Is CXTC still at the high standards it was at a year ago? Same processes in place w.r.t. no oxidation and all that? It's between them and Vapers Tek, but I'm undecided.
May be worth noting that I vape mostly unflavored / very lightly flavored. If that's not a blasphemous thing to say on this sub.
Would help if I was even told "can't go wrong with either CXTC or VT".
Planning on doing a bulk order and sending across the ocean so no room for a wrong purchase..
edit: a word, also thanks everyone for the replies
Carolina was on my list of things to try, but I tried Vapers Tek first and couldn't really find a reason to try Carolina. Carolina might be of a higher quality, but VT has been good enough that I'm not too concerned about trying it.
Exactly why I still haven't ordered Carolina's nicotine. Also, you can get the same nicotine, Chemnovatic, from Heartland now with their ultra premium line. If you order enough to get free shipping you'll save a little bit of money.
I just ordered some from Heartland because their July 4th sale pretty much made the shipping free. Just got it in yesterday. Next order I'll probably go for the free shipping limit and then not worry about ordering more for a while.
I can't comment on VT, having never tried it, but CXTC is awesome. I ordered on the 4th of July, and had it in hand on the 7th. It's completely tasteless and crystal clear.
You may have already made your decision but I have experience with both and felt I should chime in. I've bought from wizard labs , liquid barn, vaperstek and Carolina. I would say you are making the right choice with VT or Carolina. The only difference for me was VT oxidized quicker for me, BUT that could have been because I was using the 120ml bottle to work from instead of breaking it down. After trying Carolina, there was nothing to justify the price difference for me. It was really good, but I think if I break the VT down into 30ml bottles it will be just as good as Carolina.
Hope that helps my friend
I may have overstated the "about to order" part - I'll be ordering in a few days. Yeah but this helps tremendously, ta. Basically just wanted to see if these two were still regarded as excellent quality.
(Yep - I break it all down into 50ml amber, bada bing bada boom, hail Botboy)
Nude Nicotine. They even test every batch in a gastro spectrometer and give you the printout of every single thing that's in it. Everything I ever get from them is crystal clear and I have a gallon of nicotine that I mixed up 16 months ago that still crystal clear in my pantry.
I actually just ordered more and I'm going to throw out what I didn't use.
I'm with CXTC. Never been anywhere else (other than nude once, my second buy). My last purchase was a while ago -- probably last summer/fall -- 2 500ml VG 100mg/ml; The wife and myself are currently 3mg, so we don't burn through much.
I freeze the unused portion and pull 120 out; picked up some argon wine gas from amazon and the same 120ml I pulled this past jan/feb is still sitting on my bar as clear as the day I refilled.
VT might be cheaper, but I've never had a reason to not go back to CXTC other than maybe price and that's not worth the potential for anything less than my already exceptional experience. Good customer service, excellent packaging and quality product. AFAIK, abdada's code still works, too, so there's that. All in all, speaks for itself...
What's abdada's code? I've purchased like 3l from CXTC in the last three months and this is the first time I hear about it lol
If you ever have a spare $17 laying around, order a 120 from VT. I'm no shill. I just did the checkout again and it's 17ish from VT and &28ish for CTX even with Dada1 code (I knew this already when making my decision. They charge about $9 more for shipping). Try the $10 savings when you have free money laying about and tell me you see a big difference. If I were to buy a liter from VT it goes for $114 with shipping.... CTX a liter with shipping costs me $162. That's with dada's code, which isn't 10% , I did the math and it's 7%.
I am not meaning.to shit on CTX. They're the second best one I've tried, great nic. But like I said I can't bring myself to spend the extra money now that I follow others suggestions to split it into smaller working bottles. By all means though buy some CTX and try it out yourself. You won't be disappointed, but you may feel the same way I do.
Cheers!
I have used Nude and have tried Carolina in the past but I've been using Eliq for a while now and am very happy with it even in an unflavored mix. Nice, clean taste, I'd say medium throat hit, and it has titrated out correctly on every bottle I have tested. Good prices too.
My expiriences overtime.
Nude Nicotine - good, but the shipping scenario with them is unnaceptable. It can take up to 2 wks before they ship it to you.
Carolina Extract - also good, but the most expensive.
Nicotine River - also good, but unless your going to place an order that qualifies for free shipping it's not worth it. Ever since they changed their policy for ground only on 100mg it's 30$ just for shipping. Theyre def my fave of the 3 because you can buy stuff aside from Nicotine. So if you need a bundle of stuff for over 50$ def worth going with as long as you aren't paying shipping.
These 3 were good quality overall but each has a downside (slow shipping/price/costly shipping) Tbh I couldn't tell the difference in quality.
I'm interested in trying Vaper Tek since I see alot of comments in this thread about them. It's them or Heartland for my next order which is really soon.
