Had to use VG from Walmart...

submitted about 8 years ago by Dasmozz

And it's not bad!

Been waiting on an order from NudeNicotine.com and It's taking entirely too long. Ten days since I've placed it and it hasn't even left the lab yet. It's not even that much stuff.

I found the Walmart VG near the first aid kits, $3.50 for 6oz. Bought two bottles thinking it would hold me over, but here I go again for more. It's a little thinner than the usual stuff, which I don't mind! It flows nicer into my coils without having to poke holes.

Have you guys used it?

Also, any recommendations for VG/PG/NIC sources?

Same here. I don't know if the local Wally world just doesn't stock VG, or if it's just really popular, but they never seemed to have it, so I stopped trying.

My walmart has it hidden very well near the prescription and medicine isle.

Yeah, a couple of times I've found the label for it, but the shelf was empty. So they definitely technically "carry" it, but either it never comes in, or it sells out every time.

It's cheap enough on Amazon that I just don't bother to worry about it now.

Near foot care. I used a whole 6oz bottle, and it was better than myfreedomsmokes VG.

Walmart is hit or miss, some carry VG and others do not. My local Walmart doesn't but the last place I lived they kept it locked up in the pharmacy. I'm assuming there was a theft problem.

I love Prime shipping but it's $29/gal for VG compared to $13/gal at NicRiver and PG is $32 vs $18. Save $30 and buy a bunch of flavors with it.

I haven't tried new ingredients in quite some time, but after this gallon is gone I'm gonna have to check out Nic River! Thanks!

Twice a year or so(got one before Christmas last year and one earlier this month) Essential Depot does their $43 GLYcube sale if you sign up for their newsletter. Then again shipping is about $20, but I love their Palm based VG better than any other brands(I know it's negligible, but I just prefer Palm over Soy, I know that for sure, and I also liked it better than Bulk Apothecary) plus you can mix and match the 4 gallons between PG and VG. I mix mainly Max VG for myself, so one of those lasts about 10-12 months and 500ml of WizardLabs 100mg/ml nic about 18-20 months. It's the flavorings that get me haha.

Just FYI NicRver uses Musim Mas VG which is palm based. It would only be a few bucks cheaper than the deal you're getting now but if you were getting nic or flavors at the same time it would be worthwhile. Their nic is better than WL (granted I haven't tried WL's new nic)

Last email I got from Essential Depot said that I should order soon because their prices will be increasing. Maybe it was just a clever "the sale is ending" thing but as I understood it the normal price will be going up.

Nicotine river for VG and PG .. prices are excellent

Had just checked Nicotine River for VG, 1 liter for $6.49.

$13 for a gallon is hard to beat. Spend 50$ and you have it shipped free

Man you're not kidding those prices are good! How's their Nic?

by HashSlingingSlashurabout 8 years ago

I used to use it .. For the price range its very good nicotine. not as good as nude nic, Carolina extracts or vaperstek but those are all much more expensive. i'd give a 120ml of their nic a try and see for yourself =]

I've used it plenty, and hell I can't taste any difference over Essential Depot, Bull City's, etc. I've read people think it's horrible, but it's USP VG, so???

I personally think if you put a different label on it, nobody would ever know.

EDIT: I just ordered a gallon from Real Flavors, along with their free flavor samples, for about $20 shipped. Pretty good deal in my book.

I am pretty sure Essential Depot is Bull City's Pg/Vg, at least when I ordered it was.

Carolina Xtract for nicotine - the quality is exceptional. I get my VG and PG from Amazon.

I'm in the uk so no Walmart here. but I buy my VG from boots which is a huge pharmacy chain. 99.9% BP grade vegetable glycerin. £1.40 for 250ml which isn't bad at all. the convenience if being able to shoot to the store and grab it out ways the slightly cheaper online option and having to wait for delivery

Welcome to Nude Nicotine where, IF we ship your order, it will either be wrong, labeled wrong, or take six months. Thanks for your support!

I seriously don't understand people still using this company. Last time I did, I waited weeks and weeks to have my small sample nicotine order shipped. Ordered something like 60mg with VG base, ended up getting well over 100mg. The reasoning for the delay was that someone went on vacation.

I don't believe there are any good reviews of NN on Reddit, least none I've seen.

As for your suggestion, I purchase my nic from Carolina Extract or Nicotine River. VG and PG you can get from Essentials Depot, around $48 for 4 gallons.

I use Essential Depot on Amazon they are top notch. Super cheap. Ship crazy fast. I only found it one time at Wal-Mart and used a small bottle. Aslong as the proper grades ans safety checks are on the bottle you'll be fine!! Hope that helps.

Yeah, it'll work if your in a bind and can't order from the usual places. It's a little expensive though at almost four bucks for 180ml.

Used it when I first started DIYing. Worked fine, but it's cheaper to order a gallon from Amazon.

I stopped using NN after my last salt order. They take forever, and sometimes they just forget I think.

What's up with the salt I keep hearing about?

Which salt do you have? I was interested in trying it at one point but having to order from NN made me question that with all the issues they have.

Since I stoped making for others humco is all I use. Works just fine saves me on shipping.

Bull City Flavors for my pg/vg and most flavor concentrates. I've yet to find a suitable replacement for my nudenicotine, order way early, like way way early.

Wizard Labs is good. I get 500ml, break it down into a bunch of smaller (120, 60, and 30ml) amber(important) boston round bottles to keep as much air as possible out of the bottles, and freeze them.

Grab a funnel with your order, and have a 15 or 30ml "in-use" bottle at your mixing station. Just always defrost and shake well before dividing into smaller bottles, and when you bring one out, before putting it into the the in-use bottle.

What I have left from when I got it 14 months ago is as clear as day 1, and has zero pepper (or any) taste unless I leave a half full bottle in hot sunlight for weeks...only happened once haha.

I bought a 120 from Carolina Xtracts and kept it in my room in a dark area on or near my desk, no refrigeration and I opened that bottle a lot. A year later it was still very clear(looked to be same as day 1 or damn close) and no peppery taste. Other places I've ordered from in the past the nic was not as stable as that one if that is even the right word.

I looked for some in a pharmacy at one point, what they had was 90% vg and 10% water :c

Works just fine, in a pinch. Seen a few places where people talk about it tasting like soap, or shoe polish, so I went out and grabbed a bottle to test it for myself. It's fine. It's tasteless VG, just... like I kinda figured it would be.

Still use the stuff I spend money on, to justify the spending of the money. But the knowledge is nice to have.

I get this stuff from amazon:

Vegetable Glycerine Liquid 1000g https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007PNGRPC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_h8YDzbB006653

I'm no VG connoisseur, but it is very thick and I've had no problems with it. I also love that it comes with a nozzle top, it makes pouring during mixing very easy.

I use it pretty often. It's usually near the bandaids and burn ointment and is actually pretty good. it's a little pricy but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than buying juice rom a b&m if you run out of VG and need to make some juice.

by DataNotAnecdotesabout 8 years agoMixologist

I've tried it before, when I've run exceptionally low.

I'm not sure why, but it's always seemed less sweet to me. Has a very, very slight alkaline taste I don't particularly find pleasant.

My favorite VG and PG are Gremlin's. I'd love to know where they get it from, because it tastes amazing.
