Yes, Throat Hit Nicotine is from VapersTek; they say the nicotine is from the UK, but VapersTek is US, in Oklahoma I think. You can find either the 120ml or the 1 liter size here: -> Nicotine - Vapers Tek

The 120ml is just $10; the liter is $45.

Andria

$10 for 120ml is 1/2 the price of any other nic I've seen! Thanks for the link.
Guess it's worth a try?

...I'm getting low on nic so I think when it's time to buy more in gonna try out this TH nic. Why not right? I doubt I'll taste anything peppery. I've gotten nic from onestopdiyshop - wizard labs and lately I've just been going thru Nude Nic but I've seen posts that people complain that wizardlabs is peppery or onestop's nic isn't really good. Honestly I've never noticed a difference between the 3 (except for Nude being more $$$)...

Did you order/try some of the TH nic?

So about ready to put in an order at BCV in the next few days (thanks to ya'll for the info on them!)
The nic is $20 for 120ml, 2x the TH, but considering shipping costs if 2 orders, might just get the BCV?

Also looking at TFA:

Ry4 Double
Vanilla Swirl
Turkish
Smooth
DX Hazelnut
DX Caramel Original
Brown Sugar
Toasted Almond
Western Cowboy
M Type
Wild Blueberry
Blueberry Extra
Blueberry Candy
555 DK Tobacco
Acetyl Pyrazine
Sweetener
EM
Honey
Cotton Candy
Marshmallow

Seems the BCV is often 'out-of-stock' on lot's of items.
Might have to go with FA, CAP on some of the flavors.

Vape styles/flavors I like are
nutty, caramel, Turkish, Marlb, vanilla,
and sweet blueberry pie (Andria D - I'll post my recipe idea as you seem to love blueberry too)

Recs?

Great looking list and this is just my 2 cents, so please keep that in mind.

First, I don't quite understand the 2X TH. The throat hit nic is from Vapers Tek and it looks like the 1 L bottle at $45 is all that's available at the moment. I wouldn't recommend ordering that much unless you've tried it and know that's what you want, or can afford to take a chance on it.

At BC, click on the Vapers Tek nic and the 120ml of 100mg in pg looks to be available. This is very clean and clear nic that's great for mixing but th is normal.

The Vanilla Swirl is a great ice cream type imo, but I really like to use it in combi's with other vanillas. Depending on what you want, maybe take a look at some other vanillas to go with it.

That's it from me, maybe others will have some more ideas for you. Good luck and keep us posted. :vapor:

Yea, just starting DIY, so I'm going to pay the premium for 120ml of nic.
Just put in an order with BCV, so went ahead and got the regular nic from them.
A little more $, but after shipping cost from elsewhere, about the same.
BCV was out of stock of many items, so I got what I could.
Gonna get the rest from Wizard Labs. (they say they are way behind in shipping orders out)
And I added a few more vanillas to the list: DX Bavarian Cream, French Vanilla Creme, and Vanilla Bean Gelato.
Maybe add Vanillin too? (edit: added vanillin with WL order!)
Thanks!

I just want to post this here as well.

Another member and I have both received a VapingZone SC Real Cig that turned out to be some other flavor with menthol. We both talked to the same person (Leah) who treated us quite poorly. She told me I have to send the flavor back so they can determine whether or not it was an error. She also told me that no mixups have ever happened (after I asked) and treated me like I was stupid and basically dead-wrong. They also will not reimburse me for shipping charges (I know that is in their shipping policy but I think this is a unique circumstance) when I asked she said "well it's only like a dollar...."

So if two people have received a mentholated Real Cig flavor, and both talked to the same person you would imagine others have called about it as well. Menthol is pretty unmistakable. I also feel like she lied to me about this not happening before, or that there was an issue with this batch of Real Cig. Who knows, though, maybe I was just the first one to call. The other member said he was treated poorly by her as well.

Anyway, I'm just very disappointed with their customer service. Not once did they apologize or admit fault or offer anything to rectify the situation other than having me ship it back for them to "test" and reimburse my money. I feel like they know this is an issue and are trying to hide the fact, that's the only thing that makes sense to me. There must be a good size batch of wrong Real Cig flavors, I just wonder how many. I also wonder why they want all the flavors back - hopefully they are not rebottling and reselling them as whatever flavor they mixed it up with!

The right thing to do would be at least issue an apology and offer another bottle (like every other company does). After this debacle is done I am no longer going to shop there. I've also emailed them a couple of times without any response, only when I called them did they direct me to Leah who was quite rude.

It's a shame, I've been purchasing flavors from them for years and this is how I am treated? It's not about the money (inexpensive) but the principal of the matter. Awful customer service experience.

So long, VapingZone.

How many test their nic to see if they recieved the proper concentration before they start working with it?

That's not something I've been doing and today there's reports (rumors) of a popular nic supplier that has been sending out nic that's almost double the strength they say, i.e. 180mg rather than 100mg. I don't want to get into some drama or stir the pot against a vendor since that didn't happen to me, etc. but the point is the nic was tested and that's not something I regularly (i.e. never) do.

Wow, what vendor? I haven't tested my nic but I should really get into the habit of it. I just recently ordered 100mg nic from WizardLabs as well.

After trying the Vapertek nicotine I'll only order my nic from nude nicotine. I think nude has a better product for sure.

i came in here to see if any of you have used nude nicotine for flavoring? I ordered
peaches and cream
Shirley temple
melon madness
strawberry banana smoothie
Boysenberry jam

I've used some of their flavoring before and it's vg and ethyl alcohol but i just make a batch put it in the crockpot pot for hours then leave the lid off for 2 days and the alcohol tastes goes away. I've used the melon madness and strawberry banana smoothie before and i sell out of it soon as i make it. They have good flavorings. You get a 5ml bottle for $4 but the suggested amount to use is 2.5 to 7.5% so you can flavor a good bit of vg out of a 5ml bottle

Yikes! Link?
Not a good business practice from a $$ and PR point, ha!

I would have thought/hoped it wasn't an issue. :(

$9 test kit: Nicotine Home Test Kit - Bull City Vapor

Don't know how many # tests that is good for?

I'm following closely even though I don't have the product it's been a learning lesson. I guess one of the issues is mixing 100% VG with nic. It can have hot spots and settles - all sorts of crazy stuff that doesn't occur with a little bit of PG. I use 100% VG. They suggest rolling the bottle and that shaking / stirring might not be enough to get rid of hot spots.

The vendor is replacing the batch even though results from testing are not in. I think there are some who want to blow this up into something that may not be there. I'd hate to see that happen. I don't think this is the same as the old Box Elder deal.

But it is a valid warning to test, not just for vender error but to make sure it's mixed well.

So it's a end-user mixing issue, not an issue with the product shipped with excessive nic?

To my knowledge, the results aren't in either way. That's why I'm trying to be cautious.

I just didn't realize the challenges mixing VG over PG/VG. There's been a lot to learn reguardless of fault.

I didn't see the original post. Anyone have a link?

In case you haven't done it before, there's a number on the posts up in the right hand corner of the post (example: this should be post #435). Roll your mouse over that number and right click, then chose 'copy link location' from the drop down. Then you can paste that link into your own post.

if you get it from a reliable source, imo, i like either nude nicotine or wizard labs they are consistent with nic levels. as for mixing in either 100% vg over pg/vg mixtures. even i have to shake my mixes daily when i use them and i only use vg. hows it going aikanae1

That helps doesn't it? I looked around and couldn't find it anywhere, at least not in obvious DIY areas?

Give us a hint at least, this is important info for all!

I ordered some VG nic from Vaperstek a long time ago, and have always thought it was higher than should be!! It's smooth sometimes, but but other times it can be very harsh even at 6-8mg/ml, and this was supposed to be the regular UK smoothest, cleanest, clearest, etc version not the TH version. I Haven't had a chance to pick up a test kit yet though, but I'm sure once I do it will be far too late to contact them about it.
