I have bought several liters from wizard labs, nude nicotine, and Nic River and they are all the same. I fill up my 8 oz bottles to the bottom of the neck. It takes four 8 oz bottles per liter with no extra. They have all been exactly the same.

But 8 oz. is 236.588 ml. So 4 of those is 946.352 ml, not 1000, which was my point.

I just tested one of my amber bottles with water to the bottom of the neck and then I poured it into a liquid measure. It was exactly a quarter liter.


0.25 liter =
8.454 us fluid ounces

    The Ratel is a decent setup, just doesn't fit in my rotation. I ran a test build, verified it worked well, then cleaned and reboxed it.

    I'll also have another vaporesso Podstick and a Voopoo Navi coming in (I win contests in spurts). They're built-in battery setups, around 900 and 1500 mAh.

    I like the podstick and bought a few. It’s a nice pocket carry device for at work.

    I wonder if adding mineral oil would make it feel smoother and I could actually get one. I had a cutting board that I didn't like the feel of like I literally couldn't touch the darn thing after a few uses and now that I've got mineral oil applied to it every few months it's smooth. I'm kind of afraid if I get the Luna I'm going to have a mod that I literally can't look at without getting the heebie-jeebies

    I used mineral oil, and then this stuff: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003AJWN62/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Leaves a very smooth, but non-sticky finish. Specifically, I wiped mineral oil on, let it sit overnight, wiped it off. Did that 3 times, then used the ren wax. Brings out the colors nicely, too! I'm guessing if you wanted to, you could use a little really fine grit sandpaper on it, but I didn't think mine needed it.

    Has anyone else noticed that when you order a liter of nic, you don't actually get a liter? And it doesn't seem to matter who you get it from (unless it's Nude Nic and packed in bottles for long-term storage).

    Bottle capacity, as described by a manufacturer or vendor...can depend on if its capacity is measured to the beginning of the slope on the shoulder of the bottle...or to the bottom of the neck on the bottle. I have bottles that are described/sold as 240mL bottles, but filled up to the point I want them to be, for longterm storage...they hold closer to 252-253mL.

    ETA: IMO, if you measured the nic base you're getting, using a graduated cylinder, before you pour it into your bottles...you're likely getting a full liter. It might ease your doubts about it, to do it with 1L from each vendor anyway.

    Since I just made two orders from provape (the new provape) they are having a nice sale. 33% off everything. I just ordered two more aspire mulus box aio. Shipping/processing on first order was less than 3 days(priority shipping which is extra). I ordered on Friday and it was here today.
    New E-liquids and Hardware

    I would have shared earlier but I know this thread. I wanted to make sure what I wanted was available. :)

    3 of my bottles filled to halfway between the slope of the shoulder and the neck. The last one barely filled to just above where the slope of the shoulder starts. So I really have a hard time believing I got a liter. However, just for kicks, when I have a little spare time, I'll decant each bottle into a beaker and measure them.

    Don’t use a beaker, they’re not accurate. You need a graduated cylinder. I worked in a chemistry lab for years. Our professional grade beakers could be anywhere from close to as much as 50 ml off (the larger the beaker, the less accurate it is).

    Are the graduated cylinders usually available at nicotine vendors?

    I'm still looking for bargains! However, I started later (stocking up) on vape supplies. I have stocked up in the past on nicotine.

    The only thing we do on xmas is eat pizza and ice cream. I bought two gifts for a adult son. The others we don't do gift exchanges or celebrate xmas. The only stress I get is trying to buy food. I went out today and barely found a parking spot. A lot of folks acting like the apocalypse is tomorrow.

    I plan on working tomorrow and then chilling until next Tuesday. I also get paid which means I can buy more vape "stuff".
    Did groceries today too, Yikes it was a zoo! LOL
