You may want to try small bottles of nic from different vendors and do a taste test before investing in a bunch for your stockpile. I bought the majority of mine from RTSVapes. If you choose to buy from them be sure to request a price match. I price matched Heartland's price. I am thinking it was just a bit less than $50.00 a liter. I bought 2 at a time so got free shipping along with a good price for the nic.
RTS matched to Heartland was pretty much number one on the list. I'm ordering 2 liters today just so I won't feel so darn nervous anymore. My end goal is 6 (or more!) so maybe I'll feel ok about trying out different vendors before going big.

You'll feel SO much better once you have that liquid gold in hand (not on your hands though![emoji38])

I've read that MFS can be on the peppery side, have you tried any yet?
I noticed the faint peppery taste with MFS so went with RTS for my stockpile. Some folks really like that peppery bite but I am not one of them.

Anybody have the Griffin 22mm? Mine came in last week.

The grub screws on this thing are junk, as well as the deck posts. All my grub screws were so tight I thought I'd strip them getting them loose. I got them all out after wetting them with PG and putting them back in, hoping to smooth and polish the threads by doing that. They went in hard and one seized (not cross threaded). All the time I was waiting for the pop that says the flats went round in the screws.

So, after removing and replacing them I decided to install a coil. Three came out fine and the 4th wouldn't budge. I never got it out, careful as I was not to strip the flats. Finally, POP! The flats rounded and it's toast.

The first thing I noticed about the deck was that one post was curved slightly. The other was perfectly straight. The Grub screw that stripped was in the curve of the post. That probably cause it to lock down.

I have an email into VaporRange tech support. Hopefully, they will send me a deck or a new atomizer. I have never had an issue with deck screws in any one of my large box of atomizers, other than the kayfun phillips cross slots getting rounded after a year or two of builds. Even then, a pair of good pliers with turn them.

I have one (maybe 2) but it didn't stay in rotation long due to the leaking issues.

I am ordering nicotine TODAY! I get a small royalty payment every month, usually $25-$150, though randomly it's several times more than that. This months royalty came in at over $400, WOO HOO! I will feel a gazillion times better once I have a start on the nicotine stash. Now if only I could decide where to pull the trigger.

RTS vapes has a coupon code for 20 percent off if it's your FIRSTORDER. FIRSTORDER is the code.

    If you are trying to use the allen wrench included with most attys, they are notoriously undersized and low quality steel. Between the cheap driver and low quality screws they will round over easily.
    The best investment I've made is better quality drivers. I went with MIP Thorp brand, Hudy is good but more expensive. I have a Wiha set also, they are a big step up, but prefer the Thorps (guaranteed for life).

    Will that work on top of a price match? I already ordered glass storage bottles but may throw a few other things in the order too.

    Went ahead and pulled the trigger with RTS price matched to Heartland at $44.99/L. 2 liters on the way shortly. Storage bottles arriving tomorrow so when the nicotine gets here I'll be ready to package it up for the freezer. Gigantic weight off my shoulders and my tin foil hat loosened up a tiny bit.

    Good for you. I know that feeling sooooo well. Last year I was pretty sure I already had enough to last the rest of my life but I still didn't feel totally comfortable so went ahead and got 2 more liters. I no longer get that niggly feeling prompting me to get more so I guess I am set. It does feel good knowing that I can just ignore the powers that be that are trying to kill this life saving technology.

    I have enough for myself and another person to last 15 - 20 years and I will probably do the same just to be safe and be sure I have way more than I need.

    Just wanted to pop in and let you know that ecig.com is have 20% off today only using 20off coupon code. They have the best prices for coils I've seen. :)

    ugg, why you post this and try to make me spend money...... :rolleyes:
