To keep it short, I ordered a 50ml of "signature" by NN, waited near 3 weeks to receive it, when it arrived it had an EXTREMELY strong chemical smell... gave it a chance and it basically ruined any recipe. Got in contact with "Chris" and he said he would send out another bottle last week, also that I would receive a confirmation and tracking number. Received neither and they won't reply to any emails. Welp. Waste of 21$.
I stumbled on this the other day while frustrated and waiting for an order to ship.

Could very likely just be a disgruntled employee, but then again things sure do seem dysfunctional. This is seriously concerning given the nature of their products.
"They expect you to lie to customers and send out fake Certificates of Analysis with orders. He released harmful products to the public, knowing that they were harmful, just to beat competition to the market. Money is number one and he doesn't care who is effected by his pursuit of it."
Good post jelllobiafra. Thank you
Honestly, you should read before you order. NN might have been good once, but if you search even this sub-reddit you'll find many similar complaints.
It was a thread in this SR that led me to NN :P An older thread I found using the search function, asking about which nicotine people recommended. Didn't mention anything about the insane wait.
On the topic of the smell, I just received an order from them (which took 3 weeks also) and it had a very pungent odor of cat piss. Not a slight smell, but pungent overpowering cat piss. It was however perfectly clear and didn't appear to have any other issues besides that. It, to my knowledge, hasn't affected any of the juice I mixed with it but that seriously bothered me none the less.
Sounds to me like they're using nicotine freebased with ammonia.
This ups the effect the nicotine has on the user but is generally a seriously bad idea.
Yep, I ordered a bottle of Nic from them over 2 weeks ago, it's still marked "PRE-SHIPMENT INFO SENT TO USPS, USPS AWAITING ITEM." I was actually coming to see if there was another place people recommended.
Yeah went through the same thing about a month ago took 3 weeks before it shipped. I've tried about all the highly recommended ones on here nude has been my fav but I don't think far enough ahead to deal with them. The next one on my list is vaporstek I like what I've herd about them.
I received two separate orders of the lavender flavoring in the past (both 50 ml) and both were contaminated somehow, strong odor and discoloration of what is a completely clear liquid. Tried to get a RA from them and was told that they would send a replacement out. Never received. Gave up on them. Don't seem to have time for the little guys anymore. I even received a suspect nicotine solution at one point (1 liter) I didn't have the time or energy to put up a fight. No longer mix with nicotine anyways. The orders always took forever. I have received in the distant past some very clean nic solution and flavorings from them but no longer do business with them. Plenty of reddit dirt on them.
I got my nic from nude a few months back. The nic itself seems good quality and everything but holy shit it took forever to get to me. I had to email them after the package sat unshipped for two weeks. Suddenly after I emailed them I got it to two days later. Imagine that. It's like they have no one making sure shipments get dropped off at usps or ups.
I've got two words for you: "Carolina Extract"
I'm on board with /u/kirkt, this is getting tedious.
If you're purchasing a consumable, undoubtedly dangerous chemical, WHY THE FUCK WOULDN'T YOU DO EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF RESEARCH ABOUT THE VENDOR.
This is the last thread complaining about NudeNicotine that I will see without deleting it. Others will be deleted, and poster's flairs will be replaced with https://www.amazon.com/Surviving-Life-Dumbass-Doesnt-Sentence/dp/0595718590
But with all the bad post's there's also alot of good post's. So how can one decipher?
If you're purchasing nicotine without doing research on the company you plan to make the purchase from, I don't care about your thoughts and opinions because you're ineffably ignorant.
Maybe we'll let one well-worded post through every few months, just to keep a current complaint post available, but seeing one every couple weeks is ridiculous and at this point just grasping for attention.
got a sample of their salts and the smooth arrived pink bordering on red. threw it in a fridge that only gets opened like once a week and when i pulled it out a month later it's red as fuck with a slightly cummy smell. it tints any mix i put it in but since i vape 1 mg/ml it hasn't affected my mixes.
also, took a little over a month to arrive. i won't be placing a full order.
NN is my only supplier of nicotine. Never had an issue with them. They get my nicotine to me quickly. Been a customer for 4 years.
Not sure why people have issues.
I've never had an issue either, but they certainly are not quick. It always took at least a week to two weeks to get my order from them, consistently the slowest vender I've bought from.
You know, I've used Nude for the entire time I've been mixing. Never had an issue, except for the slow down. I love their Armor v2.
But with as many complaints as keep coming down the pipeline...I think it's time for me to look into ordering from Carolina Xtract.
Part of what kept me in DIY was seeing real, tangible results when I started, and part of that was having researched and knowing the companies I ordered from were good, solid ones that provided the best products for a newbie. I can't, in good faith, put money into a company that could so easily ruin someone's first order and spoil their enthusiasm.
I know people swear that Carolina extracts is the best but imo chemnovatic nic is better. I ordered a few samples a few months ago from Carolina extracts I can't wait until its done. Chemnovatic was super clear and had no harshness even after sitting in my fridge for months. Heartland Vapes has 25% off right now if you want to try it.
This is crazy. I was just vaping some DIY juice that I made a couple of days ago and I was like, hmm, something weird coming through, almost like... ammonia. Then I realised it's the first and only batch I made using my most recent nic delivery from Nude. :/
same here.
ordered a small bottle of plain vg on the 12th of last month and it's still not here.
they did reply to emails and claim to have shipped it out after complaining.
will not do business with them again.
Mod here. Like clockwork, every couple weeks we get a post about shoddy service or product from NN. Anybody who has spent any time on this sub should be very wary by now about buying from them, yet here we are again. To be blunt, I'm sick of seeing these posts and very seriously considering adding them to Rule 3.
I feel this sub has some influence in the DIY community and I don't want to destroy someone else's livelihood, but I think the time may have come to put a disclaimer about NN in the sidebar or verified vendors list or nic sources list. I'm interested in hearing what the community thinks about this.
They make an awesome product no doubt, having a disclaimer that says don't order if you need nicotine within the next month I think would help.
These post are getting to be insufferable. It takes just a little bit of research to find out they are slow as hell. They provide no benefit, obviously, as we have been seeing a new one every week.
Well I'm pretty new and had no idea NN had a bad reputation. I just buy from it because it's the cheapest one I found. Any other suggestions?
Chemnovactic nic can be purchased from vapers tek or heartland (they sell it as ultra premium) and it's just as good if not better. Carolina Xtract has hands down the best nic available. If you can afford it I recommend them. It's not much more than nude or the others I mentioned
If they suck, then they suck. I don't feel bad. We speak with our $ and there are much better places to order from that will deliver better product right away with a handwritten thank you note.
edit: Apologies if I'm wrong and it's good nic, but bad shipping times. Just sick of these posts.
The only thing people complain about, for the most part is slow shipping times. Their actual product is top of the line; up there with CXT in terms of quality. You can hate their service but their product doesn't suck.
It's cheapest source nicotine from India which NN then bleaches. Not much is worse than Nudes Nicotine.
You shouldn't be vaping this stuff.

Had the same experience with NN, except when I called about it a month after I placed the order they sent it out that same day.
I know this is a DIY e-juice subreddit, but I couldn't recommend Level Up Vapor enough. Their pre-made juices are incredible and work great with my Juul. Can't even tell the mango or mint flavors from the juice that comes in the pods.
