I used to buy 250ml 100mg/ml salt nic from River Supply. Started running low today and just learned about the new mail ban. Is there anywhere locally I could buy a similar bottle of nicotine? I was told to check pharmaceutical supply places... is that really my best bet? Do they even sell salt nic?
Thanks in advance!
Due to the PACT act and shipping bans most places are sold out or quit shipping nicotine base. You could try Myfreedomsmokes or Carolina xtract still. I would act fast because who knows how much longer they will be shipping it.
I can't really recommend Carolina right now. I placed an order with them a month ago, the shipment got damaged by ups and sent back, I sent them an email giving them a heads up, no response for a week. Sent them another email directly through their website, finally got a response saying they'd have something out the following week.... Since then it's been almost 3 weeks and I can't get any response.
I've never had issues myself with CXT in the past other than it's really expensive. Did you happen to order nic in a pg base? They are struggling to push out pg base due to a shortage and bombarded with orders since most other vendors quit shipping nic.
Edit. I never emailed them before either, I always called their number directly and customer service was great.
The whole situation just feels weird to me considering what you, as well as a lot of others, have said about their customer service. I did order in a PG base however I ordered 2 bottles, they said they'd check and see how many were damaged and if 1 was good they'd send me that bottle and get the other out asap, and let me know their PG shipment was coming in the week of the 6th, but since then it's been silence.
>I can't really recommend Carolina right now. I placed an order with them a month ago...
I don't know. A lot happened with your order in that month, especially considering Carolina warns of a 3-week wait period for PG base. Your order was processed, shipped, damaged by the shipper, and shipped back to square-one. If the new PG Base arrives this week as Carolina says, that doesn't seem too bad, considering.
>the shipment got damaged by ups and sent back
I had a similar U P S problem with a CXT order last month. Soon after the order shipped, I got a U P S "Exception Notice" and shipping delay. The message was very vague. Google said Exception Notices may be issued by U P S for several reasons, including damage in shipment, but I never found-out what exactly happened.
If you think Carolina is bad, try getting information from U P S. I called their Customer Service Center to ask what happened to the package, and after a long hold, I got the runaround from someone with an accent so thick it took me 20 minutes just to realize she had absolutely nothing useful to tell me. I usually have a good ear for accents but I couldn't even tell if the person was Asian or what.
I did get the nic (plus another bottle afterwards) and all of it is perfect, as always. I also had trouble getting e-mail responses from Carolina during that time. But all-in-all, I'd recommend them (FWIW - I haven't bought nic from anyone else in 3-4 years).
I finally broke down and made a purchase from Carolina on 4/9 and I ordered VG since they had a notice that they were running low. I received a shipping notification on 4/19. Edit- just received that it’s been delivered this morning 4/26. Be advised that this is the timeline I experienced ordering VG base.
I don't want to badmouth or anything, but I bought the 100mg in the plastic bottle from MyFreedomSmokes and tried to decant it a couple of days ago. It was so bad, it's in my garage and won't be used. Smells like an ashtray, very strong. It was awful.
Smell and color isn't always a good indicator on quality. Did you make a small test batch of flavorless to see how it vaped? I have some older nic that smells like wet soggy tobacco but it vapes smooth in my recipes. I have also received in the past nic that was slightly yellowish but vaped smooth as well. If you did test it and it is indeed bad nic, try contacting customer service for a replacement bottle.
I appreciate it. There's no way I'd let anything that smells like that near any tank or dripper I have. I just chalked it up as lesson learned and ordered from CXT. Already received, clear as water, vapes great unflavored. Same with my LNW order. I tested CXT, LNW, and NR all unflavored even though the NR smelled different than the others, but I won't ingest anything that smells as bad as the MFS bottle. Thanks anyway, I do appreciate what you're suggesting and did it for the others.
You can try to order from Hiliq. Yes, it's a chinese company but I'm ordering their nicotine since many years and never was disappointed. Good quality and price. Maybe they will ship to USA. I live in Switzerland and it take about 5-7 days until I recieve the packet. You can also buy 1l nic bottles (200mg/ml nic salt b PG base) for 120$ w/o shipping.
Just ordered from perfect vape on Friday. Cheaper than Carolina extracts. Hope it is worth it, as it’s my first time using them. Nicotine River was my go-to up til now too. Fucking sucks ass having to deal with this. Oh well I’m stocked for like 3 years now.
How are you storing your nicotine if you're buying it in those quantities? I want to do the same thing but I'm worried about storage and it going bad or stale before I can use it.
Although the way my wife and I chain vape we'd prolly go through it fast than we think!
have you gotten your order from perfectvape yet? just wondering how it is
Yea I did get it, haven’t had a chance to mix anything with it yet though I’m sorry.
The package it came in I didn’t have to sign for
I realize this is hella old, but I was just trying to decide if it was worth the extra money for Carolina Extracts or if I should go with perfect vape.
How was perfect vapes nic? Comparable to Carolina?
Its funny... there were a bunch of DIY people who in response to every bill would say shit like "I don't care, they can't stop DIY". Wonder what those people are saying lately.
lol they all have a freezer full of nic
LOL, I think it's just the opposite though.
those of us who are stocked to the gills have been telling people for months, if not years, to prepare - stock up - grab a couple liters and put it in your freezer just to be on the safe side - small investment to ensure your vaping freedom for years - yada yada yada

JFC central is INSANE for a liter. $179.50?! (1000ml bottle).
I use perfectvape and a liter is $66. (32oz which is a few drops shy of a liter)
Hey have you tried the nic from PV yet? They are the only place I can find that has 100MG salt base besides Carolina. Ive been asking around and haven't found a single person that's heard of them or tried their nic.
I only see flavored 60mg salt nic available on their site. Am I missed the 32oz unflavored VG salt nic somewhere?
I second myfreedomsmokes. I bought some nicotine earlier this month. The shipping is always fast. Granted, they are in my state but they ship out same or next day depending on when you order. I also used to be a regular customer of theirs 2015-2017 and they’ve have always had the same great customer service.
The prices seemed reasonable to me when I ordered recently. I didn’t really check around though just bc I knew I could get it so quickly. You may be able to find a better deal, price wise.
Nicotine Giant has had good feedback here. Haven’t ordered personally. I am considering it though.
I tried to order 1L of 100mg VG salt nic today. Every option says "5 in stock" but when I try to add to cart it says the item is unavailable. 😑
Thanks for advising with regards to Giant.
I placed an order with Carolina a few weeks back, my order hasn’t shipped yet bc they don’t have pg nic available but assured me it would ship within the next two weeks. He did however say that if I change it to vg or salt that he could ship my order the next day.
Carolina extract just took 25 days on a 3 day shipping I ordered on 2nd and it delivers on 27th 125$ after shipping 4 bottles of 120ml 100mg I got 500ml salt 250mg broke it down to 30ml amber bottles. And 500ml 16ml I break down to 3mg as needed
Is that 25-day order for a Pg or Vg base?
Both
>Both
Well then the 25-day wait-time sounds about right. Did you notice the warning at checkout:
>As of March 24, through May1, 2021, our inventory of PG base in which to dilute the Supercritical nic is dangerously low. The medical grade PG we use is in seasonal short supply and has other uses to the pharmaceutical industry, such as the manufacture of certain vaccines. PG orders may take up to three weeks to fulfill. VG is shipping on a normal 4-10 day wait time, so if you can switch to VG, we encourage you to do so...
