Vender questions

submitted over 5 years ago by mmafighter871

Hello,

After years of getting away from DIY, it's about time that I get back into it. It's been around 4 years. Sad to see my original supplier RTS Vapes is no longer :(.

I glanced at the vendor list there are still quite a few to choose from for USA. But since I haven't been in the game for a long time, I don't know who to choose!

So... Which vendor seems to be the most reliable for consistent and safe Nicotine?

I’ve always had good luck with nic River (river supply now) for nic.

I just placed my second order with Heartland Vapes last night. Super duper cheap and it works for me. True aficionados may scoff, idk. Very good selection, free shipping >$50, plenty of supplies and flavors and sizes. And dirt cheap.

Do you get NicSelect? I think NivRiv used to sell that brand but quit for some reason.

Uh, whatever the cheapo brand is. It's like their house nic. I can't afford luxe.

Nicriver for nicotine and flavors. I used to use bullcity but not much anymore. Then liquidbarn for another site which has both

I ordered from nic river. Only paid $14 for a gallon of VG vs Bullcity is at $25. PG was only $7 bucks for 500ml. Shipping wasn't bad either with that gallon of VG. Only $12 bucks along with the nic and PG.

I just use Amazon for PG/VG. There might be other "better" sources, but it has worked out well for me (prices seem relatively the same as other sites, but you get the prime shipping which is nice for those that tend to procrastinate 🙂).

Also, you might want to clarify what "in bulk" means to you. You can get PG/VG in 100ml bottles, by the liter/quart, by the gallon, four-gallon cases, 55 gallon drums... I buy it by the liter/quart, but should probably be getting it by the gallon at this point. I can get a liter of both for around $25, which is pretty easy to stomach. By the gallon, it's probably closer to $55 for both, but I believe you basically end up getting a quart of each for free. This obviously depends on the brand and where you're getting it, but this is what I've found in general.

Edit: also, you might just want to try out 250ml bottles for just getting started if you're just trying it out. If it's something you think you'll stick with, I wouldn't hesitate to move up to a bigger size due to the lower overall cost.

Nice find. I don't think it's the same ownership though. Comparing prices from previous purchases, prices are jacked up $8-$15 for bases. Good find though!

Thanks everybody. Consensus says I’ll give nicriver a try! Time to dust off the micropipettes and beakers!

You can't really go wrong with one of the big guys like Nicotine River, Liquid Barn, Vapers Tek, etc. from the vendor list, it's all pretty much from the same reputable sources.
