Cheapest Price Isn't Always The Best

[Lord_Fubar]

Here I sit running very low on e-liquid with 16 bottles of flavors, 60 ml of nicotine, tools and zero PG/VG because I had to find the cheapest price online from different vendors.

I may have to buy another bottle of ready made juice instead of starting to mix my own. Drat.
Maybe Wal-Mart will have VG available.

Try whole foods or sprouts, one of those kinda places if you have them in your area.

 

[Wingsfan0310]

I think CVS and maybe Walgreens carries VG also

 

[Gqballa]

Not sure about in America but canada PG at costco cost 7.30 per 500 ml

 

[savagemann]

Whole Foods carries 100% pure vg.
Thin it down with distilled water and you're vaping for 10 bux

Amazon has VG and PG about $10 per liter. Search "Essential Depot Glycol" on Amazon.

You can get the Humco brand of VG at Walmart for about 2$ for 177 ml in the hand lotion section. It is USP food grade. Tractor Supply carries gallon sizes of PG for around $22- also USP food grade; not all branches carry the stuff, but they will order it for you. Call ahead or check on line for local availability.

We feel ya!

We tried saving money on VG and bought a cheap gallon on Amazon (hey, it was USP, it had to be "good") And without testing it in a vape/flavor mix, we mixed up (get this) over 3000 mls of juices. And they ALL went down the drain because the VG "zapped the flavor" and added this weird lil' flavor that was very similar to the 'stale' flavor of PG.

We'll save our juices from now on, rather than 'saving money'! We're all already saving massive amounts by making our own - what's a few cents per bottle for quality ingredients?!

Exactly.

VG matters, and it matters BIG!

As the saying goes: The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

Tractor Supply carries gallon sizes of PG

If they don't have it in stock, a livestock feed store might also carry it.

Thanks. I didn't think of Walgreens or CVS. I just need a tiny amount to tie me over until my PG/VG order arrives.

Proper planning is now high on my list as is quality before quantity. I have since found out that Wizard Labs is about 23 miles from where I live, by bicycle. If I had a car I could have ordered online and drove over to pick it up.
If DIY turns out to be worth it (hard to see right now why it wouldn't be), then Wizard Labs will get all my PG/VG/Nic/Flavor business.

Google Maps shows that I could bicycle to WL in 1 hour 49 minutes one way. Probably closer to 2+ hours one way depending on the wind direction and if I need to hook up my bicycle trailer. I do have a grocery pannier that works well for most of my shopping needs, but with liquids that far, it might be safer to bring the trailer. That is if I'm buying gallons of each. I course I do have to get off my lazy ... and do the pedaling.
Good thing Florida is basically flat. I'd hate to have to get my DIY stuff uphill both ways and in snow with hurricane force winds on a bicycle with 2 low tires.

Turns out after calling both Walgreens and Wal-Mart which left me empty-handed, a new vape shop has PG and VG. A bit pricey compared to Wizard Labs, but that's retail for ya. I also picked up my first dripping atty.

My first B&M vape shop. They had a nice display of juices to try. Being a budding DIY'er, I didn't feel is was right to sample some, besides I had to scamper out of there before I maxed out my credit card.

What....... two hours to go 23 miles!........ Time to trade that tricycle in for a 21 speed road bike and skip the vg. Just kidding , if only high school days could last forever! DIY is the only way to go but I feel your pain and got caught with some bad nic. this summer. I thought my planning was good but always expect the unexpected.
Glad to see you got something to get you bye. You cant go wrong with WL being that close! Youre in good hands for DIYing.

I will second this. best price on the net. Also, Walmart VG has a flavor that IMO ruins juice. I don't recommend it.

Where im at in California, a 50 mile ride would mean im climbing about 3-4000 feet.
Get to pedaling!!!!!!!!
