Maybe it's time to completely stop making your own eliquid

Are commercial eliquids available and less expensive? If you can save money, save it! I can’t imagine they would be less, though. My diy liquid, without doing any maths, costs about $3 for what would be $17-$20 in a vape shop.

I pick up a carton for a family member at $141 (American Spirit). Every time I do that I’m so relieved it’s not for me.

@muth .
I’ll be honest and often thought I’m so very glad I wasn’t born female. In today’s world I’m unsure if that statement will offend anyone but it’s true.
I could elaborate but probably best I don’t.

It doesn’t offend me because it shows that you have an awareness of women’s matters in this world. Sure, some things have improved but overall it ain’t easy being female, especially in certain cultures.

I would go to hiliq.com and order their 250mg/ml nicotine…They will label it Vegatable Glycerin this will get you some great nicotine.

I’ve been ordering from Nomz and they have been great so far. Fast delivery to the US and the prices even with conversion rate are less than some US suppliers. If you have a large enough restock order, you can even come ahead while using DHL.
BCF,DIYFS and DIY-e in Canada have aso worked out, but you do have to price shop and compare. DIYFS shipping out the order in less than a week was the only issue I had, but it may have been a one off.
Sourcing Nic has been the biggest issue. I ordered on the 14th from HIliq after finding the NicBase I ordered to be quite harsh. Maybe I need to dilute it?
However the Hiliq order so far has not gone great. They use a logistics company for the first leg. Looks like they switched the route however and I am still sitting staring at the UPS label created stage and it’s been over 2 weeks. Considering they recommended to upgrade to a very pricey delivery option and quoted 8 days.
I’m chalking that up to the supplier they used for shipping, but if you do order from them don’t wait till you’re already running low. Based on the comments from this community, I’m hopeful the quality is there and was worth the wait…If it ever gets here.
Hope that helps if you’re currently looking for deals and context on current experiences.

You found nic base to be harsh or nicbase dot com aka delosi to be harsh. I find delosi has very smooth clear nic and i believe the cheapest price and shipping

I’ve had great luck with NicBase, BUT, everyone should always remember. Unless you are in DIRE NEED, always order your NIC during the Winter months, and stock up. Ordering during the warmer / summer months can rapidly degrade your NIC in shipment.

The NicBase from Delosi. The VG 100MG/ML nic seems extra thick which is why I am thinking maybe it’s worth diluting to make it easier to work with? I know, VG is VG no? But my VG from BCF is definitely less dense. The Nicvape heavily coats a surface for example. Hard to explain.
Either way, I’ll be using it, I mix at 3% for DL but found myself having to cut it down to 1.5. Not sure the issue, but I’m confident I can work with it and figure it out.
I will say the 50/50 Salts at 10% seemed fine in pod mixing for me.

Agreed. Milne came a month or two ago so I feel good about that. BY no means am I saying NicBase is not good. I just found it harsh for me. But for context, I vape at 3%. A commercial bottle at that concentration is perfect for me. 6% I feel it Lol. So it’s more of a me issue most likely.

Didn’t seem so. Looks like it was a decision/change made by their logistics supplier, so probably out of their hands. That said, they are out till the 6th for holiday so I’m going to wait a few more days and see. I will say, they are very responsive and for me, that’s good enough.
They mentioned it was leaving on a flight out the 28th due to the change. I thought at this point it was on a ship container based on the time. lol. But i have no idea if it shipped or is sitting at a warehouse until this supplier hand it off to UPS.
It just seemed worth mentioning so people don’t wait till the last minute. I order from Australia, South Africa, China all the time and DHL is on point. Usually 3-4 days to the US. But I am patient and can’t wait to try it their NIc. I also ordered their synthetic Nic to check out

That’s going to be up to you @Dfunct5150. I personally always prefer 100% PG NIC because it’s much easier to work with, right out of the freezer. Even 50v/50p can be a pain.

That’s such a great call. As I read what your wrote I was thinking “That makes so much sense”. Thanks for that!
