I've been in a cave for a while - why can't I find nicotine anywhere?

submitted about 4 years ago by 5parky

I last bought a bottle of nicotine over a year ago, and it's time for a new one. Why can't I find it to buy online anymore without having to pick up a liter of it?

Because big tobacco wants kids to go back to cigarettes and vapes threaten their bottom line

My advice is to buy the liter. The next time you need nic it probably won't be available, or the taxes will be insane.

My assumption is that we'll have to start extracting it from tobacco.

That’s not very feasible AFAIK

Sure, not super-feasible right now.
But my thinking is that many people will try, and someone will find an easy to follow way of doing it.

Have you looked at the vendor list?

Freight carriers have stopped shipping vape supplies in the US due to the PMTA regulations. Here in Canada we can only get 20mg now.

Which I ran some math and freebase 20mg is still okay, but pretty well impossible for nic salts.

I vape 6mg salts and have a decent stash of 60mg salt so it just means I have to use 3x the amount of base after I run out. It will make it slightly more expensive. I'm fortunately not really affected but people at work who vaped 35 mg weren't happy.

Same here. I also sub ohm 6mg nic salts and when I saw there was going to be a restriction I bought 6 120ml bottles of 65mg/ml nic salts from dash vapes so I dont have to worry for now. Since we both vape such a low nic content were good although for some recipies I'll have to use vg based 20mg salt nic to keep the ratio accurate.

TheVapeMall. That is if the USPS hasn't stopped shipping vape stuff yet. I got mine from there and you can get nic salts or freebase base from 17ml to 1 L.

Just checked the site, nice recommendation, I'll be trying it on my next order!

AFter my first couple of months with premade juices I found that site and that's where I have ordered almost monthly for the past 2 years. Never had a problem with them. In fact, I wanted to try duplicating Yami Salts Icy Trio with Strawberry, Kiwi, Lychee, and Menthol and they didn't have the Lychee to mix with so they ordered some and sent me batches of 5ml test bottles to try out until we got close. They got it right and I ordered that until they were out of Lychee and I was sick of that blend LOL.

I was using LNW before the bullshit and I loved being able to just order a liter of premixed 0.3mg when I was feeling lazy so it's nice to have that option again!

I just ordered from them and it'll be here soon.

Many vendors that we used in the past have moved to wholesale only due to the Pact Act, but there are still quite a few vendors left to choose from.

I recently got a 500ml bottle of 100mg PG base from vapingzone. It's more expensive than it was on sites I used to order from but they all went wholesale only. Still, cost less than a carton of cigarettes. CONUS

You may have to ask a vape shop to order you a bottle if they can, or you'd have to drive to a supplier and buy it directly. Theres a link to see Vendors but im not sure of the command

I cant even imagine what you must be going through 5parky! That would be so devastating to just wake up one day to find out that Big Brother has stepped in and regulated away our freedoms, in the guise of protecting.
All sarcasm aside, "Big Tobacco" seems to be doing well.
