hello,
looking to purchase some clean nicotine before the PMTA in September. I’m in California. I vape about 30ml a week maybe 45ml. I vape 6mg or 7.5 when my friend does a DIY mix for me.
My question is- should I buy a gallon of something pretty decent for $250 or a liter from CarolinaXtracts for $140.
all input welcome! first post so please remove if mot allowed
Try the Vapocalypse Calculator.
this is amazing
It’s just a calculator. You will need other calculators and recipes eventually, bottles and tools like a digital scale. If you’re hoarding for the vapocalypse you need to invest in glass and polycone caps. Decide how much you want to hoard and enough bottles to decant and freeze
A gallon > liter every day of the week. I have never purchased from Carolina Extracts, but I have from several other places so I can’t say whether the severe price discrepancy is worth/not worth it, but in my opinion (having tried several others) it’s a waste of money.
What do you recommend?
I cannot link directly to the nicotine page (sub rules and all), but if you head over to River Supply and navigate to the base extracts they sell PurNic. I use it and haven’t had any issues with it. Their salt nic is good as well.
I also have both freebase and salts from liquid nicotine wholesalers. It’s also good to go.
I buy in the 250mg options personally just so that I don’t have to add a metric ton of it to mixes. Especially when mixing salt nic liquids. When I had 100mg strength it just ended up being too much of the liquid in the mix at the higher mg ranges (35mg-50mg for example).
Whether or not you buy it in VG or PG base is purely a personal preference. I like VG because I fill an empty 60ml chubby gorilla bottle as my working bottle and it dispenses better.
Carolina is good but in my experience Liquid Barns nic is just as good as any. Reasonably priced as well. Up to you. A liter will last you a long ass time. Someone will probably do the math but that’s years man. If you’re set on getting the gallon, go LB. if you don’t want to store a gallon, and don’t care about spending the extra money, sure Carolina is a great option. Like I said, I’ve had both at the same time and couldn’t tell the difference. There are however shit nice out there. Be careful
I didn't think nicotine was affected by PMTA. Am I wrong?
It’s not directly affected by PMTA but is about to be taxed to high hell. Maryland where I live currently has some sort of bill going to approve an 86% (I think) tax on nicotine. I read somewhere that it works out to be $50.xx per 1,800-ish mg of nicotine, on par with them raising the per-pack tax on cigs to $4.
