Originally I wasn't a huge fan of LB's first release of flavors. While not many of them are outright -bad- not very many stood out. I recognized their strength in applying to new mixers. Due to their lower potency they're ideal for people who are only mixing 1-3 flavor recipes. Most are simple and forgiving.
Then I started to dig a bit more and they do have a few gems. VBIC is decent, White Choc Peppermint is gorgeous, and I even enjoy their ReUp line of one shots on occasion.
I hadn't tried their base until we were at the Vegas Expo and I was surprised at how clean their freebase and nic salts were. They hadn't released full strength nic salts at the time yet but I ordered from them shortly after they switched to CNT. I've been through half a liter so far of CNT freebase and it's excellent and I can barely tell the difference between it and CXTC (some my call this a stretch but it's really that good) And their salts are miles above anyone else's on the market right now. I'll continue to order my base from them indefinitely.
I won't use them for flavors as often as I do other places, but their nic/base is second to none and I don't see any reason to go anywhere else.
Always well packed, fast, and never needed to contact customer service.
They have always had my VG based nic in stock, consistently good prices, fast shipping time out the door, even during sales or coupon events, and I've never had USPS drop the ball on a delivery yet. I have never contacted Liquid Barn customer service as I've never had a problem with an order. Nic has always arrived in the bottles, inside zipper top bags, inside well packed boxes, no leaks thus far.
Liquid Barn gets all my business for nic orders, always been very happy ordering from them.
Liquid Barn and BCF is all I use. Both companies are great. I get my bases, nicotine and one shots from LB and other flavors I need from BCF. I’ve tried other companies for Nic and bases, but LB was the best quality I found. I got shit before saying even their VG seemed to work better when vaped. People saying there’s no way to tell the difference between VGs. But I stand by it. I can taste a difference. 9.5/10 for LB
Awesome company great flavors and supplies if I was to advise a new mixer just getting started in diy I would tell them to place there 1st order here! You can get everything you need to make and amazing start in diy and only have to make one order. They have great pg, vg, nic., bottles supplies etc. and great single flavors. Blue Raspberry, vanilla bean ice cream, lava cake, Belgium waffle, dew mountain, sweetener, and an amazing white chocolate peppermint! Awesome people that have a awesome company!
I but 6mg base from them. I rarely add flavors and the nic is always awesome. A slight sweet taste and always consistent.
Can I ask why you don’t like adding flavor?
It's not that I don't like it. I go nose blind to flavors pretty quick, so I just got lazy and stopped adding flavors. I will every now and then for a change of pace.
I tried their base a few times with out flavor as well. I was interested in what it would look like if a flavor ban happened and i just had to vape liquid barn base with no flavor. It did the job, but i still prefer flavor.
FYI - a flavor ban wouldn't actually apply to DIY. Of course, you might need to order flavors from somewhere other than where you currently get them, but there's next to no chance the law could prevent you from vaping flavored juice you already had, and no way that it could be proven you didn't have a stockpile from before the law changed.
I first ordered from Liquid Barn back in 2015 I think. I’ve been a big time supporter ever since. They supply consistent liquids and I’ve never had an issue. Over the years they revised some products and really simplified DIY. I now recommend them to any vaper I come across, wether they are DIYers or not. Thats how easy they have made it. They were a 10/10 before, but with the updates they keep making… 11/10 😉
Love Liquid Barn!
Prices on flavors and nicotine are great, no problems with shipping or packaging at all. I've never needed to use their customer service, which is great.
Not an enormous flavor selection and some are subpar (probably the grossest peach flavor I've tried), but most are solid and some are best in class (Vanilla Ice Cream, anyone?).
When I ran out of the perfectly good Chemnovatic freebase nicotine I had from Vapers' Tek and the less good salt nic from Nic River recently, I picked up some of their CNT nic in both regular and salt and both are great, clean and smooth, I think I've converted.
Some of the one shots are great and that and the basic e-liquid can make mixing super easy for new mixers.
I ordered 1 gallon USP Vegetable Glycerin , 1000ml USP Propylene Glycol , and 500ml/100mg NicSelect e Liquid Nicotine Solution on Saturday March 9th of this year. Total price was $58.14USD after discount code "reddit". The order shipped out Monday March 11th, and arrived Friday March 15th.

I was very pleased with with the quality, the prices and the fast delivery. The nicotine came crystal clear, I am happy with my experience from them and will be using them again when I run low.
Prices: Good prices for products and free shipping over $50.
Selection: All their flavors are easy to use to mix with. They taste like how they sound. I think some of their suggested percentages are too high. I use them at a lower percentage but they have the best one shots on the market though.
Shipping time: Their shipping is great. I am in CA so its expected to have good transit time, but what I am measuring is the amount of time it takes for them to process and ship my orders, which has always been 1-2 days.
Customer Service: The customer service is the best I’ve had in any industry, not just vaping. Whether its questions about my order or just general questions. Shout out to Bobby!!!!
Order Problems: N/A
Packaging: No problems with the packaging. They used to use packing peanuts (which a lot of vendors do), but now they use this paper thing (idk what it’s called) that’s not as mess/annoying.
Overall: I 💜 Liquid Barn and recommend them to anyone interested in DIY or saving money on eLiquid. Great selection, great prices, and great customer service. 9/10
I am a relatively new mixer who placed his first order with Liquid Barn. I live on the east coast, and they are located on the west coast, so the shipping time was okay enough, it took about a week to get to me. The bases I ordered were definitely high quality, as was the nicotine. For a first order I would not recommend getting 250mls of nic, because one of the bottles has been sitting, sealed, In my fridge for 2 months. Don't store the nic bottles sideways after you open them because they tend to leak in the fridge.
Other than that, I am an extremely happy liquid barn customer. Competitively priced, and high quality reagents for not too expensive.
I ordered my first two lots from liquidbarn, and I have no complaints whatsoever. Things got here quickly and the flavors all tasted as they were labeled. If you don’t need a list of very specific flavors, they are a great vendor.
However, I have switched to using dashvapes because it allows me to buy virtually every flavor on the market. Also, they have batteries and mods and such. It just helps to be able to order everything all from one place.
Thank you for the kind review. DashVapes is great. Are you located in Canada?
I am not. I just had a list of very specific and unusual flavors that I wouldn’t expect most places to stock. So after a couple days of googling, I had to get my flavors imported to the US.
I ordered my first nic from them (nicselect) around 2015 that was basically unusable, smelled like burnt tires and tainted anything I put it in, but based on other reviews of liquid barn it was probably just a bad batch or something. They took every measure to make it right and I ended up getting a refund after the second bottle was also unusable. I've ordered a few other things from them over the years and had no issues, and based on my interaction with their customer service wouldn't hesitate to order again.
Sorry to hear about your initial experience with us. We have since vastly improved our quality control and shipping processes if you're ever interested in giving us another shot.
Have placed two orders with them, and will be back for more!! I ordered their scale kit, pre-mixed base (when I first started mixing) and later their premium nic, PG and VG. All great!!
Never had to contact support, always shipped when expected, always exactly what was ordered. Highly recommend.
Ive been mixing for almost 3yrs and after cycling through all the regular US based sources a few times to try and save cash where possible, I decided consistency was way more important. SO, I’ve been ordering all my base & nic from liquid barn exclusively for about a year without incident or problem. To the point that I take it for granted. Thanks LB
Thank you for the kind review. It's great hearing our efforts to stay consistent and reliable have made an impact on some customers. It was also interesting to hear you taking it for granted. I think it might be worth it for us to consider dropping the ball a bit to remind our customers of what they're missing out on. 🤔
Back in March of this year, i bought the scale kit from Liquid Barn. Called before ordering for questions about it that weren't the product page. They knew how to answer and they did so quickly and without hesitation. Item was correct and was here quickly.
Only things i can saw negative is the price is a bit high but still worth it and comes with 5 60ml bottles. The others being that big kit should have the scale kit over the lab set and maybe a bigger flavor section. Either more of their own or pick up some major ones from the big names.
Other then that, will be trying out the PG and VG when I run out of my others and get better with mixing.
