I am trying to get all the supplies I need to get into making my own juice and I am fairly new to this. I was trying to find a good reputable site to purchase nicotine from, but it seems that every place only carries 60mg/ml. I would much more rather have 100mg/ml so I don't have to use as much nicotine base in my mixes. I also tried looking on sites based in the us, but quickly learned that there would be a customs issue. Does anyone know where I can find a bottle of 100mg/ml vg base nicotine in Canada?
Legal maximum was decreased to something like 65mg max a couple of months ago, only chance you had was up until 2-3 months ago when companies were selling off their last stock of 100mg nic. Sorry, you wont find it anywhere
Oh thank god. I’m sure that saved the lives of millions of children.
Im pretty sure its to regulate pod systems, which imo isnt bad. You really dont want to go over that anyways
well of course you don’t want to go over 100mg/ml or even over 65mg/ml. nobody really straight up vapes unflavored nicotine solution LOL.
i think most people just find it annoying when mixing to have to use such a diluted solution. and the fact that it’ll likely keep going down prolly scares them too.
Is there much of a difference using 100mg compared to 60mg/ml in a mix? I know I would have to add more nicotine base, but would it throw recipes off that call for 100mg/ml?
There's no real difference. I use 48mg/ml in PG and the only problem I've ran into is with flavor percentages over 17%. Because I mix 70/30 for example, if I go with 20% total flavoring I'm forced to mix 67/33. It's really rare though because I usually never go over 12% total flavoring anyway
Last time I had to order nic I got it from thebrokevapor. That was probably 8-10 months ago now though, i was under the impression that you cant sell anything above 66mg now in canada? I could be wrong though. Diy canada also has nic you just have to email them and ask about it!
Did something change? I never thought about it until I read your post, and checking my usual sources I see two have dropped to 60 mg/ml as well and the third has stopped selling nicotine all together.
When the federal bill was written, I picked up a couple liters of nic, mainly because the wording certainly implied that source nicotine was going to be equally restricted, so long as it was being sold to consumers rather than businesses.
Dashvapes took the interpretation that the law was restricting the maximum potency of actual juice, and supposedly were informed by some ministry or another that so long as they made perfectly clear that the base was not to be vaped directly, the law didn't apply. However, even they are now complying with the 65mg/ml limit, so who knows... Presumably if you import from murica, you can probably still get the good stuff. You might want to ensure you have a registered business to get it delivered to, just in case.
well when i checked on the border customs page and canada post it says there is also the limit on imports to canada for nicotine. There is a chance it will get through if there is no clear labeling on the package (or bottle if they open it). Like I have seen 100mg "base" as a label before but no reputable vendors do that I think, maybe if you can ask them for a custom label.
I doubt it, but maybe and if you can let me know pls

It's not a vaping law issue... it's a consumer safety issue. At 66 mg/ml and greater, NIC is classified as very toxic and consumer safety law prohibits sales to consumers of anything classified as very toxic. This has always been the case. The only thing that changed with vaping is that the government considered NIC and analyzed at what level/strength it changes the liquid from toxic to very toxic... and that's why the number appeared to be new. Not a new law but an analysis of how the law applies to NIC. NIC at any strength is legal for sale to industry... just not to consumers.
I've got dozens of chemicals in my home more toxic than nicotine. It's BS.

E-Cig supply still seems to have both 100mg regular nic and salt nic available. Might be a listing mistake, but worth checking them out.
Looking for a great store to purchase juice online. Check out https://www.bcvapor.ca/ . They got a wide selection of juice and often are getting new juices to try out. They also deliver all over North America for free with a purchase greater then $100.
This is completely bullshit.
The restriction was placed for Juul-type systems FOR CONSUMPTION
Not to restrict a product used for PRODUCTION
Health Canada knows and is being money grubbing asses.
All you need to do is label it correctly. Problem is, the fear is out now after massive fines and recalls done to poor DIY companies
There's not really any need for most people to have 100 mg. Laws shouldn't be determining whether or not we have access to it as it's none of their business. But, 60 is perfectly fine.
Ok. Let's imagine you want to make some Juul strength juice. So 50mg/ml, using 65mg/ml nic source, means 77% of your recipe will be nic base. And I'm fairly certain the price of nic base didn't drop when the concentration of it went down.... Basically, the the federal government doesn't want DIY juices... Probably they want to start taxing juice morr heavily soon, and don't want people avoiding those taxes.
