Nicotine Sources?
submitted almost 7 years ago by DVader42

Hello everyone I'm new to this sub, been on Reddit before long ago and forgot account details. Anyways I've looked through this sub quite a bit, and at the moment I am looking for a nicotine supplier. At the moment I am leaning toward Liquid Barn. I bought some from Vape Wild a few months back, huge mistake. Been looking at other sites, Nicotine River I seen mentioned on here before but the shipping prices for that site..... Was looking at Nude Nicotine because prices seem reasonable but after searching on here I see quite a few posts people say they order and it's delayed by weeks, attempts to contact them basically gets you blocked. Anyone have some recommendations on good sources that have reasonable prices including shipping?

​

EDIT: Thank you everyone for the suggestions. First thinking I will try Liquid Barn, after that batch most likely ganna go with Carolina Xtract

Much love <3

I’d have to rep for Nicotine River, though I always put in orders over $50, so the shipping is always free. Liquid Barn isn’t bad, but I would buy from Nic River before them.

Thanks for the reply, just ordered a ton of flavoring from Bull City or I would have just tried buying from them. Will see if there's anything else on their site I might need to make the order worth it. Just got paid and already spent most that check on other stuff so trying to save some of it. Thanks for the input, much love fam <3

I'm intrigued, never hear of them before. Quality is nice? Price seems reasonable

Personally no but they are highly recommended. Im using the same nicotine they sell though. I only went with nic river because I was buying other shit too. If I just needed nic then I would've went with them because of the shipping.

What’s the color of the chemnovatic you have from nic river? I got 3 bottles in July and they were all dark/heavily oxidized. One of them was not useable at any %, the other two I can’t go over 2mg without tasting like 💩 and muting my mixes.

Carolina Xtracts is also good came fast in the mail and packaged well, just a little expensive.

Yea saw them recommended on here before as well, sounds good but the price is what threw me off. Not sure if supercritical/co2 extraction is really different from whatever else manufacturers use. Just trying to get something with a fair price for what it is, while also not something gross

Whatever they're doing to their nicotine it is undeniably a step above anything else I've ever had. The quality is absurd and it holds that quality for quite some time. It's also extremely consistently good quality. With liquid barn and others I've had some not so great batches.

Awesome thanks man, thinking I'm going to go with LB at first, test out theirs. When I need more and have more money will probably go with Carolina

Chemnovatic just as good and way cheaper.

Yah, my bottle came in essentially clear looking and has looked the same the entire time I've had it, dark Amber bottle with a good dropper. I'm probably about to order another bottle so I can see how consistent it is personally as well.

My last order was from LB and I'm just about to place another one. I was happy with them, good product, fast and reasonably priced shipping.

You know if they keep the bottles frozen before sending? Just trying to avoid more dark brown nic

Hi /u/DVader42 we do keep our nicotine at freezing tempratures until they are sent out to you. We also changed our 250mL and 1000mL bottles to come in multiple smaller bottles, so you can keep one closed until the other is finished to reduce exposure to oxygen. Don't forget to use promocode "Reddit" for a discount of your order!

Well dang, already placed the order by the time I saw this. I assume there's no way to add the coupon code after I've already confirmed the order?

I don’t know if they keep it frozen, but I’ve had my bottle about six or seven months. I’ve kept it in the fridge and it’s stillclear and no bad taste

I've been buying from VapersTek for awhile now and am nothing but really happy with their service, prices and fast shipping.

I guess i'm the only one that still orders from WizardLabs. Thats the very first vendor i ordered from when i started DIY so thats basically who i've stuck with. Will definitely try out some of the ones mentioned in this thread though.

You're not the only one. I still order they're too. Actually building an order that's going to be put in today. It also helps that they're in FL and I'm in Alabama. Great customer service too.

I received my order yesterday and its was covered in liquid. At first i thought the bottle had spilled all over inside the bubble wrap. It was a bit scary since i didnt know if it was just PG or Nic and it was all over my hands! Luckily the bottle was sealed really good and it mustve just been another bottle that spilled on top of mine.

Sorry for the late follow up. Are you happy with your order? As I mentioned I've only ordered 100% from them and nothing else but the 100% I've gotten was just as good as NN IMO.

No complaints so far. Thanks for the recommendation

Just a little tip, nude nicotine has a free sample of nicotine that you can buy from their website and just pay shipping

Looks like you already got it figured out but I'd like to add some notes for anyone else ordering soon. I ordered the new FIFO supposedly quick turn around nicotone from Nude Nicotine two weeks ago. They shipped it late last week. It still hasn't arrived.

During that time I placed an order with Liquid Barn, it shipped the next day, and I received it two days later. Their nicotine is super clear and I can't detect any off-flavors at 3 or 6 mg.

Basically the consensus I got from this. Nude Nicotine is slow and unresponsive/get orders mixed up. Basically anywhere else actually ships when they say they will. I am still waiting for mine from Liquid Barn but I placed the order late afternoon on Friday so I expected it to be shipped Monday. Maybe ask them to cancel the order and get a refund? I'm really picky about companies I give money to, stick with reputable sources, one bad experience (especially from "customer service") and I don't buy from nor recommend them to anyone. I'm a loyal customer to companies that deserve to have customers.

I haven't contacted Nude at all. So no customer service issues for me. I knew they were slow, and was warned of it. Just wanted to share my experience with their supposedly fast nicotine service they have started recently.

I'm going to be doing side by side testing of a few different brands of nicotine to get a feel for which is cleanest tasting to me. So I planned on ordering from them because their product is supposedly very good, just not very timely.

I believe I placed my order at like 2 or 3 am Sunday for LB and it shipped Monday. I expect they don't work weekends.

Could you post a review of all sources once you get everything in? In terms of price/mg, quality, shipping time, etc. Would be interested in finding out, know the best place(s) to order from.

I get mine from nic river. But I always try to get a few things together so I order over $50 for free shipping. No idea what their shipping would actually cost otherwise. It’s good stuff and I like how they package things in small containers so I can only open what I need and not expose everything to air every time.

150mL of 100mg/mL is 8.99 shipping is 25.51, which is why I wanted to avoid them. Maybe when I need more flavoring/supplies as well

Stock up on extra gallons of VG/PG. Or just buy a liter of nic, you'll use it eventually :)

Anyway, Nicotine River is great. I'd also recommend Nude Nicotine if they finally have their order processing times figured out.

I’m going to guess that any place shipping for less probably doesn’t declare they’re shipping nicotine...and I’m w you, I hate to pay anything for shipping much less 3x what I’m ordering...don’t think bad of NR because of their shipping prices is my point I guess because for only $50 everything is free and when you order a gal pg and 2 gal vg it’s $50 btw...( I don’t work for and am not payed by NR ) . If I was just ordering $20 or less of nicotine and I could find reasonable shipping I’d go that route definitely. Maybe that’s where guys / gals differ...women don’t make a big flavor order and then go”oh yeah I need nicotine too”. We make sure wherever we’re shopping it’s free if possible and done in as few places as possible, iow, we would’ve made our flavor order at NR knowing nicotine was needed too or went to Chefs for best shipping price for many many flavors then pg/vg/nic NR free shipping. Cuz we’re smart like that ....;)

Nah I'm the same way, try to keep as few orders as possible. I've had good experience with Bull City so wanted to order the flavoring from there, but they don't sell nicotine. Wasn't thinking of the whole hazardous material thing requiring a ton extra for shipping. Welp, you can't learn if you never make a mistake

I first started with Liquid Barn and their nic was great. I went on to eliquid.com and their nicotine was the same quality but free shipping and no minimum.

Then they stopped the free shipping for DIY supplies. I'm back with LB and just got an order from them which didn't include the nicotine I paid for. They rushed it out to me and I received it today so I'm very pleased.

My only complaint about LB is they don't have enough flavor choices.

Oh, do yourself a favor and pick up a bottle of Sang Petillant. I held off on it because it had a dumb graphic but woooooooooooooooooooooow. It's a white grape/blood orange flavor and it is GOOD.
