Good vendor. I bought from them in the past.
I ended up placing a order for 100mg nic/250 ml I got some vg and pg also.
I didn't get a gallon from liquid barn the I only got 2 x 500 ml and figured I could go to nicotine river and get a gallon of vg for 11.00 bucks I may order some more nic from them later in today.

My main thing was to get a order to go threw with some nicotine today like everyone said. This is my 1st time I didn't start doing this soon enough to mess around with a hand full of vendors.

Mixing by volume can be just as quick as by weight though, and even quicker...depending on who's doing the mixing. I use 2 syringes and the bottle I'm making my mix in, besides the actual ingredients. There's no cross contamination of the flavorings either, even though there's no need to hot or warm-water rinse the syringes until finished. The cost of the syringes and bottle is extremely minimal, too.



You don't really need cylinders when mixing by volume either. Some people do choose to use 1 though, especially when they first start mixing.
I got a couple syringes and a few tips to go along with them. I ended up going with liquid barn so I could suggest get done nicotine. I got 250ml of 100 mg nic. Pg, 2x500ml of vg and 2x500pg later on today I'm going to order a gallon of vg and some flavors with nicotine river supply. There vg is only 11 bucks a gallon may get some more nic also. Thank you

That will work fine. Nicotine base does not freeze solid like a soft drink does. It also needs to be stored in glass.
I wanted to let you no I saw your messages. I clicked to follow you. I wanted to let you no got a couple syringes and a few tips to go along with them. I ended up going with liquid barn so I could just get it done and get my nic. I got 250ml of 100 mg nic. Pg, 2x500ml of vg and 2x500 pg later on today I'm going to order a gallon of vg and some flavors with nicotine river supply. There vg is only 11 bucks a gallon may get some more nic also atleast another 250 ml I wanted to try both nicotine's the one from liquid barn and from nicotine river I'm also going to look into heartland. At liquid barn I got the more expense kind of nic. I think it's called cnt e liquid nicotine solution 250ml at 100 mg. I want to say thanks again my phone keeps going dead time to buy a new one if those also. Lol but I wanted to tell you that I did place a order you have been so helpful I still haven't got to read all my messages. You have a good day and will talk with you later.

I don't get it, especially when people have posted about the problem with the nic base they've gotten from River Supply lately. Other members in the past 6-8 months and previously, too, have experienced the same thing. But...it's your money. :facepalm: Good luck!

I got my nic. from liquid barn along with everything else but flavors. I do want to get a gallon of vg from river supply I think it's 11 bucks I said I may order a small 150 ml bottle of nic from there also not sure.
I'm also wanting to check out heartland many people have said good things about them and nude nic. I'm having trouble doing much of anything due to the fact I can't get my phone to keep a charge don't no what's going on with it. But I guess it's time for a new one. It is frustrating when I'm talking with people who are trying to help me out and I can't talk with them cuz the phone won't stay charged. I even have it plugged up . Sorry got off track just a little frustrated with phone and apps that won't stop running in background. Ty for your concerns. I looked on here for people talking about nicotine river supply I couldn't find anything. But I'm also new to this and I'm still learning. It took me forever just to learn to respond without having to go threw my email.

DIY Starter kits are an easy and less stressful way to get everything you need (except for glass bottles) when you're new and starting out.

DIY Kit
Ok ty a few people said I probbly wouldn't be needing a buck of stuff like that others say it's easier I'm not really sure I no I will need something small and light to mix my flavors. I don't think I'm going to be needing allot of extras. I got a few syringes and tips for nicotine. I have a scale need a few good size glass bottles for nicotine. I got the mixer thing cuz I've saw allot of people use it and recommend to get it. Says it saves on your arms and helps bring out the flavor in your diy. Don't no how true all that is but I got 1. I'm open to anything and ty for the help I need it.

I have saw some diy kits that have flavors. Now that I will be needing but I haven't found any that really carry much of what I'm looking for.

I plan on mostly doing strawberry milkshake, strawberry crunch, strawberry cream, strawberry milk maybe even a strawberry marshmello. I no you see where I'm going with this. I'm a strawberry vapor. But don't like custards. I like more of the vanilla bean ice cream, strawberry ripe, sweet strawberry and maybe a graham cracker, sugar cookie, sweet cream, super sweet etc. Kind of juices with that's stuff alive I can make probbly 3 or 4 different juices. But once I find like 2 or 3 i like I will probbly stay with them for a bit. But still try small batches of this and that for now of a learning process.

Funny. I did the same thing. My oldest bottles in the freezer are two NN Armor V2 250ml bottles from 2015 (I switched to V1 after that). I was getting nervous because they are in amber bottles so I had to check. Crystal clear. I buy my VG and PG from NN also.
NN Armor v2 120ml btl's are the only nic in my freezer. Always clear and never rec'd a bad batch. Excellent quality nic. Years ago people knocked them a lot for their slow prep and ship times. I never had an issue with them. :)

Don't these things aerate the mix, though? I don't like using them because I really don't want to add any oxygen to my blends, but maybe I'm wrong about it.

Anyway, I shake, not stir. ;)
Nope. If you insert the mixer 1/2-3/4's down into your juice and keep it there while mixing it's perfectly fine.

A couple years ago I did a test with "shaken, not stirred" versus the mixer. When vaped each I couldn't tell Any difference. Zero. Nadda.

I know several folks who use mixers like the one I linked. Give it about a 1 minute mix, cap it and let her steep away. Simple, Fast and Easy.

And yes, 00Kat, I know ye to be a 'shake not stirred' kind of Gal! :D

I'm open to any suggestions on where to buy from.

Actually would so appreciate it cuz a few places I've looked at online don't have what I'm looking for.

Just to make it more simple I like to vape strawberry with like a vanilla bean ice cream, graham cracker, sugar cookie, strawberry Ripe, sweet strawberry, cream, super sweet, but not a fan of custards I can even do a marshmallow. I don't know if this is what was being asked of me when I started or not. I ended up using liquid Barn for VG, PG and some nicotine and plan on placing another order later on today I.just had to get one out right away.

From your list these are the brands/flavors I like best. YMMV :)

FA strawberry, FA juicy strawberry and INW shisha strawberry are really good. The FA strawberries are pretty darn accurate especially when mixed together. I find TFA strawberry ripe to be, meh, at best. But I know it has a loyal following.

TFA graham cracker clear and FW graham cracker. FA graham cracker is also really good.

CAP sugar cookie (not v2). I found all the CAP v2 flavors I tested to be junk (IMO) and gave them away.

TFA vanilla bean ice cream.

FLV cream and FA Vienna cream.

FA marshmallow.

You can get all of those from Bull City Flavors.

I'm open to any suggestions on where to buy from.

Bull City Flavors has a wide variety of the flavorings you mentioned. Since you specifically mentioned Strawberry Ripe (which is a very popular TFA flavoring) and Super Sweet (which is Capella's main sweetener) and Sweet Strawberry (which is another Capella popular flavoring)...I'm guessing that most of your flavorings would be or are TFA and/or Capella.

Both TFA and Capella make a Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, a Graham Cracker, a Sugar Cookie, and Sweet Cream (as well as other creams). Which brand you choose would be up to you. There are people who like TFA more than Capella, and others who prefer Capella. Still other people like some of those by TFA and others by Capella. Other people prefer additional brands, too, though.

OMG that's great now I have someone to help me lol.. But ty for the list. I've never really bought any of the flavors but the strawberry crunch that I have been following has really good reviews you found him last night .and he said you can use a sugar cookie V1 and sugar cookie V2. Or you can use double of the sugar cookie V2 and don't use any of the sugar cookie v1.Or you can do vice versa you can use the sugar cookie V1 and double up on it. He has sugar cookie by cap. He also has has a cheesecake Graham crust TFA, Crunch berry cereal by TFA but I could not find it I found a crunch berries but not sure if that is the same thing. He also uses a vanilla bean ice cream by tfa, strawberry ripe TFA , strawberry sweet by cap, yellow cake by fw, super sweet by cap, and meringue by far.

Right now nicotine River has a lot of theirs on sale but I will definitely check out who you mentioned I think you said Bull City. I was going to get mostly 15 NL to start out with but I was going to get like a two ounce of vanilla bean ice cream a two ounce of sweet strawberry and a strawberry ripe and then there is bavarian tfa .
At one point I want to try a strawberry banana smoothie I'm assuming I would just need some type of banana and will be able to switch up a recipe or find one easy online is what I should have said. Thank you very much for your help is there any way where I can talk to you one-on-one about certain things?

IMO the DIY starter kits are, meh at best. You are much better off doing exactly what you are doing. This way you are getting precisely what you need and want. Several folks I know who bought DIY starter kits wish they hadn't and were disappointed with them.

Thank you for explaining that some people for Telling Me Some people prefer TSA over cap I guess I will just have to take my chances I've never bought any of it before well I did but I didn't know about the big name brands I went to a local vape shop and bought a sweetener a cream a strawberry a cheesecake some VG Sun PG and hundred milligram nicotine and it is still sitting there LOL. I've just been within the last week learning about all the different companies in flavors but I've noticed that TFA and cap are very popular and I really wish I knew which one I was going to like over the other lol. I have been vaping a juice that I have bought by tailored house College strawberry crunch it has been my all day Vape for about a year and the taste is gotten really muted to me. I don't have Vape flock or anything like that. I just can't taste the flavors like I used to. So that brings me to what you were talking about about cap and TFA I guess I'm just going to buy 15 mL bottles that was my plan except for the strawberries and the ice cream I was going to get to ml bottles. But now you have me questioning which one I should purchase and the two ounce I know the recipe I have calls for a lot of capella and the flavor apprentice. ,

I guess before I place my order I will have to really weigh out my options I've already placed my order to liquid barn on VG PG and nicotine which I need to get a bigger bottle of nicotine I didn't know how to use the calculator someone sent me last night well I found out how to use it after I already ordered from liquid Barn and I ordered two 500ml bottles of it and it said it would last me 416 days a little over a year it said so I need to get a couple more bottles of nicotine thats for sure. It just makes me nervous buying so much and spending so much money on something that I have never even tried. But I have no choice but to stick with it if I order something offline or I go into a shop I can't taste it before I buy it and it ends up sitting on a shelf so I'm just wasting money either way. So I figured I could at least try to make it myself and I could come up with something to my liking. I'm going to look at Bull City as soon as my phone charges up again that is a whole other issue I guess my battery has gone bad my phone will not charge while I'm on it. Cell phone my phone is about dead so I will let it charge and get back on here and look at what everyone has said and go to Bull City. I just need to place another order for nicotine ASAP I was going to use Nic River but everyone is saying there nicotine has been bad but there VG is only $11 for a gallon that is half the price I have found it anywhere else and that's where I was going to get most of my flavors from but now I've been hearing of Bull City I'm going to definitely check them out. Thanks again to you all for all the help

Oh ok ty. My phone is at 28% I guess my battery has gone bad because it will not charge while I'm on the phone and all I've been doing is writing on this form and looking at flavors that is it. I guess it's time to get on the phone and look for a replacement phone that is a $400 to $700 I did not expect to be spending. But I can't handle this every time I get into a conversation or I'm doing something in the last 2 days my phone has started to die but I have been on it for about 5 hours I guess maybe that's normal I don't know plus all the apps in the background. You've been a really big help and I'm also getting ready to run to the grocery store I will send you a message in the little mailbox when I get back and I've tried to read the message in my mailbox but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I will figure it out now that I know what it actually is:):)

I would go with the 15ml bottles on all flavors until you know which ones you like best. Once you find the flavors you really like then buy the bigger bottles. It would be a bummer getting the bigger bottles only to find you may not like one of those flavors.

I don't no if I'm a shake or stir type of woman myself? I will soon find out tho and I will tell you my oppenion on the little mixer

That's what I was thinking but then again with the strawberry and the vanilla bean ice cream I was wondering if 15 mL would make very much at all? That's why I was even considering getting a 2 oz bottle of anyting. Anyways thank you for everything and my phone is now at 16% so I am going to let it charge and run to the grocery and hopefully I don't need it while I'm gone because I'm leaving it at home on the charger.
