Um, for unflavored, well, that's the easiest DIY "flavor" there is...

I just want to get it with the nic already mixed in with the pg and VG. Figured there might be some Porchers that also buy it and know a good vendor to buy from maybe better or cheaper than mt baker.

 

[Metal Storm]

Oh nice. Not surprising a lot has changed since I looked at the Xtar and Nitecore. Good to know the Xtar can do both types too. I've got 4 chargers now and just don't see buying another one, but if one does go I want a charger to both kinds of batts.

Vape battery chargers are pretty cheap. You should see some of the chargers the RC plane and car guys use. They require separate power supplies and all sorts of crap.

Better perhaps, but not sure you'll find much of anything cheaper than them other than DIY

 

[Iffy]

It was great to be a teen again. Thanks!

Agreed! I still luv 'Edith Ann'...



ETA: Fer dose questioning a vaping connection, note da rockin' chair... (a la Edith...)

I'll start with the stuff I have from them. Maybe try Vape Wild's new nic base. Have to order it over the phone though not on their website.

How did the other juices work out? I figure they must have sucked because you haven't said anything.

 

[Semiretired]

Which part made you think of brats... the ego or my phat phingers?

HeHe - made me go back and look??? I dunno...

What vendor has top quality unflavored I can get in 3mg nic, 60 - 70% VG? I have Mt. Baker 50/50 but it's 6mg for the Nautilus ADV tank.

I've been vaping their unflavored for a couple months now. Seems OK to me but I wonder if there is better out there for the same money.

Whether there's anything better I couldn't tell you. I've had nicotine liquid from MANY different sources, including MBV, and couldn't tell any difference between any of them if my life depended on it.

But can you get it cheaper? Absolutely, and you can get it MUCH cheaper. The usual method is to get some VG and some PG from Essential Depot and some nicotine liquid in higher strength than you use, and mix down to the nicotine level you want.

A liter of 100mg/ml nicotine liquid is $50 at My Freedom Smokes, a popular place but not the only place to buy. Also, someone recently posted a link to a source of VG and PG that was less expensive than Essential Depot.

Even if you keep buying unflavored from MBV, you can save significant money by buying it in the highest nicotine strength that they sell and then cutting it down with VG and/or PG.

I hadn't heard of the Essential Depot place. Those prices are amazing. Might start mixing my own. Thanks very much for the info, BB.

Beat to the punch. Most of the outfits that sell bulk nic don't sell as low as you've mentioned anyway. Iirc, Madvapes also sells unfiltered, but don't know what concentrations.

Haven't dealt with them, maybe send and email with your order confirmation info?

I like their RY4 but yes, they are slow to ship. Can be very slow to ship... I do keep their RY4 on hand. Sweeter, less tobacco forward than Mr Vape, but still one I like. So I wait. With their sales lately, I restocked .

The Bulk Apothecary is another source for pg/vg.

Maybe it's mixed when ordered, and their motto is:

We'll ship no juice before it's steeped?

Debadoo is out of control

Strange... she seems perfectly normal to ME.

On another note, I think I may have bought some bum coils. In my Davide's, I use the kanger wicks, and didn't feel like rebuilding... So I put in some I bought a while back.
6 watts... 2.56 coils... And I keep getting dry hits!
I'm going to try removing the flavor wicks and see of that helps...
Any other suggestions ?

I don't work in their shipping department, honest!

The Bulk Apothecary is another source for pg/vg.

I knew "apothecary" was in the name but couldn't find it. Thanks! For those who might want to order there, what they sell as "8 pounds" of PG is a gallon, and what they sell as "10 pounds" of VG is also a gallon.

Strange... she seems perfectly. Or mål to ME.

Interesting typos. Freudian perhaps.

I haven't tried em yet. I'd mentioned that I do have some of their tiramisu, and the strawberry mojo especially smells really good, but I vape usually 70pg and 24 nic, and these are really high vg and 3mg nic. So I will try them, but gotta make sure I have plenty of nic in me, or try to add some

lol jup......I'm perfectly, or I'm sick hehehe

That might help. I've had the occasional one with the flavor wicks crossed instead of parallel, and they don't wick well at all! If you get any leakage from their absence, an appropriate amount of cotton to replace 'em is good. (I typically rebuild that type with a silica main wick and cotton for the flavor wicks. So I can be lazy and dry burn ( ) a few times before rebuilding.)
