Big price increase on unflavored Nicotine e-liquid base

[DaveP]

Good thing I stocked up a year or so ago. My last MFS nic purchase was two 1 liter bottles of 100mg/ml nic. I think I paid around $40 per liter.

Nice, I'm going to look into that one. Thanks for the info.

With heartland, add 4 8oz amber glass bottles with caps to store the 100mg nic in, plus one random small cap, to reach $50.10 and free shipping.

Someone on another thread posted that MFS just announced that due to the emergency ban all orders shipped to Mass. will be canceled and refunded.

Right now they are out of stock for 8 oz. bottles you have to get 4 oz instead.

I like storing mine in 2oz Amber glass bottles. That way I can pull out one bottle of nic, make two 1L jugs of 3mg premix and have no excess opened nicotine left over. I store them in a storage box with dividers that the bottles are shipped in. Just makes things a little bit more simple, in my opinion.

When I place an order, I will buy some flavorings to get over the $50 mark. But I appreciate the advice.

sounds like a deal, right?

That's funny and at the same time a bit sad how do they change prices according to the regulations.
Flav. e-liquids are getting banned in US here is an up to 90% off sale.
Unfl. nic. base +60% from the normal price for DIY.
Are flavors more expensive now too?

They were are trying to push the short fills as that's where their profit is. I understand that, I just ain't buying into it. As I said it's like paying more for a lighter because you don't buy cigarettes.

I only use Flavour Art flavours which haven't gone up in price. Price wouldn't seem to be a problem with concentrates though. Some cost the same as FA but need 10-20 % flavouring in a mix, suggesting a lot of folk are happy to pay for what they like.

Chef's Flavours are like that. Expensive and you have to use a lot. But the cost per bottle of juice is still peanuts.

May be a different company in the EU than in the USA. I found the ones I bought to be chunky and a few contained oils. It was a grocery store purchase though. The bottles were tiny. Not gonna do that again.

Chef's Flavours is a UK flavoring company. I get their vape flavoring from OSDIY. Maybe what you bought were from a different company. I can't imagine the Chef's Flavours stuff I get being available in US grocery stores.

Any company worried about stock would put limits on purchase amounts - a company who wanted to take advantage of peoples fears would jack up the price. We used to call that profiteering and businesses who did it would be derided and shunned by decent folk.
Now it's applauded.
Hey Ho.

Mine might have been just “Chef”

Profiteering used to be a crime even in some situations. It was a big issue during the American civil war. There at least used to be laws against doing it to the military. Profiteering (business) - Wikipedia
Enron was famous for it. 1000% markups. They would have been arrested but got shuttled quietly out of the country to Dubai by the Bush administration.

You want shortages of goods? Because that's how you get them -- by not letting prices rise to where supply can meet demand.

Rossum, are you asking me to believe that price controls work in ways unintended?

Actually, I don't see a price increase on nicotine anywhere but MFS. Currently, Nicotine River, Heartland Vapes, and Nude Nicotine have the same pricing they have had for a long time. Liquid Nicotine Wholesalers is also in the same ballpark. So I don't see any reason to panic yet about pricing. Still, I would suggest filling your freezer with all you're going to need for the long haul.

Just as a data point to other posts I've seen here, I will not buy nicotine from Heartland. 3 years ago I purchased 2 1L bottles of 100mg nic from them and the smell was really bad. It smelled like an ashtray from last night's party. It was just atrocious to me since I don't like tobacco smell and it seriously alters juice flavor. Maybe they are better now, but honestly I would never buy from them again since I had to properly dispose of that order and repurchase from Nude Nicotine, which still had a slight tobacco smell, but much more reasonable and consistent with what I had purchased in the past. If someone were a tobacco flavor vaper this might be a benefit, but not to me.

In the past year I have switched to salt nicotine from Nicotine River and along with the obvious benefits of being able to control the throat hit of juices (smooth and hit varieties. Nude Nicotine also has normal which emulates FB throat hit), it was virtually odor free. This is the cleanest nicotine I have purchased to date.

I wonder why My Freedom Smokes has increased the price so dramatically ?

Impending flavor ban, it's DIY or die.

What are prices in the UK like now?

I've used these guys for quite some time, great prices customer service etc.
1 liter of 7.2% £59.99, this price was unaffected by the TPD
Everything Liquid - EP/USP Liquid Nicotine, PG/VG, Flavouring

My order from Heartland Vapes 2 years ago was odorless.

Just bought a gallon of 100mg from Nic River for $159

If it’s gotten to you, how did it look? Did they stall at all on the shipping speed?

I just got the same thing from VapersTek, the “throat hit” nic is pretty funky. As they say though, if it’s too good to be true etc.

The Hit I purchased from NicRiver really surprised me with the TH difference. I purchased a 125ml bottle just to try it and yeah, there was a lot of TH. I didn't like it much and prefer the smooth at 6mg/ml for myself, but I have a friend I mix for and he vapes 18mg specifically for the TH. I mixed up some 6mg for him with the Hit salt nic and he loved it and has been vaping 6mg with the hit salt ever since.

Everyone is different, you just have to figure out what works for you.
