from what i have read it seems that carolina is the best, followed by nicotine giant and then myfreedomsmokes. i really do not want to pay double for carolina unless it is that much better..
nicotine giant has a somewhat sketch website but they seem to be recommended over MFS. i would just like to not waste my money on something i cannot use. can anyone recommend which one i should buy from :(
Let me confuse you more, perfect vape as well is still shipping.
I just broke down nic from perfect vape that arrived about 3 days ago, clear and good quality. Nic Giants was good as well, my freedom smokes was some of the clearest I have ever seen a month ago. Carolina xtract is always good. If I were purchasing I would go with perfect vape myself.
Yes. Good nic, I am pretty sure it is nic select if I had to guess. It tastes like what I had gotten from liquid barn. The gallon size is 255.00 and change I do believe but they have smaller as well. They still even had nic salt which everyone but Carolin seems to be out of.
have you tried NG?
I am no expert. But I have ordered from NG and MFS. Both were shipped promptly and without issue.
The NG was crystal clear, the MFS has a slight yellow tint, and they both had that typical nic smell. Kinda earthy, kinda like an ashtray; I wouldn't call them tasteless. But the nic river and LNW that I used previously wasn't tasteless or oderless either. Especially at 100mg/ml. Once diluted they add a very minor flavor.
Still need to do a couple titrations just to be sure it is what's expected but they seem like decent sellers and at this point you cant be too picky.
Carolina... I want to order from them by I am worried by their "we only ship to commercial addresses, for professional use only." Am I just being paranoid?
I ordered from carolinaxtract and they had no problem shipping to me. I live in a duplex (with an apartment number).
I ordered some nic from MFS a little over a month ago and it was orange and smelled like mineral spirits. I haven't tried nic from either of the other places, but if I were to order again I would try NG.
Out of all these shippers are there anyone still sending base I.E. the vg, pg, and nic all ready mixed to a predetermined amount? I have hundreds of dollars worth of flavoring and nothing to mix it with. Im just a little nervous about having to work with pure nic. i have a scale and ive mixed a lot, but the mental block of working with it just is something im having trouble getting over. Ive returned to smoking to avoid it. thats how much i really dont want to. I can definately tell the difference in my lungs. I cough up flem all the time now. I live in NY so its extra hard finding anyplace that will ship. i never stocked up because i figured the ban wouldnt go through or would be over turned.
most of us don't ever work with pure nic in any capacity ever. 100mg/ml is diluted down from pure nic which is 997-999mg/ml. you'll be fine, wear nitrile gloves + your mask if you're worried. don't sniff the nic. nic base is a giant waste of money compared to purchasing separately, plus you'll never get an accurate nic mg amount in a mix nor will you have accurate ratios bc flavoring dilutes the base mix depending on what % of flavors your recipe needs. some people are fine w that but nowadays you need to consider that it's only the nic that you really need bc now it is hard to get. PG + VG will always be available, so if you waste a ton of space and money storing premixed base, you'll be sol when you run out. just buy them separately.
I will give it a go and order some. i'll have to order a new scale. i picked up a cheap 10 dollar jeweler scale from walmart a year ago when i started mixing. Its fairly accurate but its off by +.2/-2 it isnt as accurate as i feel comfortable mixing with when it comes to nicotine. this sub and DiY or Die has been a huge wealth of information and guidance in my mixing journey.
You won't find a scale w better accuracy than +/- 0.02 or 0.03, it's fine though, all of us deal w it as well. Just be prepared for the same exact issue from another scale. They all have disclaimers or notes stating their range of accuracy. Even scales $500+ have the same disclaimers.
If you're uneasy using 100mg/ml, you can always get something lower, like 72mg or 48mg per ml. Once you get the hang of mixing though you'll see that it's no big deal & as long as you add a bit, then give the scale a few seconds to catch up with the weight before adding more, you'll be fine w your measurements.
Do these totals look right? 12.5% looks high or am i just tripping. i want to make sure im able to use pure nic safely.
12.5% of 24 mg of pure nic for 3% total nic for a 100ml bottle.
