Ok cool. Anyone else? I had been using wizardlabs cuz I got a giant bottle a long time ago and while its decent it can have a hint of "peppery" but honestly unless your willing to shell out its kinda par for the course so was curious on the ecx quality:)

I am not tolerant of that "peppery" taste at all and it was only slight with ECX at 60 mgs. I could not say about the 100 mg though. It would be worth a shot and is probably better than WL lol

Ya maybe but I have to add I do not have sensitive taste buds. I am also cheap and have had good luck with most of the cheaper places that sells nic hehe. Even if a nic is really oxidized and smells I dont really notice any taste. I just thought I remembered ecx beta testing this nic a while back and figured some in the thread would have tried it.

Plus its always nice getting everything from one place and one package hehe. I like ecx and wouldnt mind spending a couple extra bucks if its good nic.

I am also hesitant to try out known "high quality" nic just because I wont always be able to afford it and sometimes ignorance is bliss haha.

EDIT: my debate is weather to just buy more of what I got and save a couple bucks as I have not had a problem with it or try the ecx for a few bucks more including shipping if it gets good marks.

I order the 60mg/ml base (pg). I find no peppery taste. I never tried Wizard labs so I cannot make a comparison. The ecx is good. I tried RTS, ECX, void mist, Nicvape, myfreedomsmokes, and extremevaping.

ECX and RTS if your looking for no pepper taste.
Extemevaping was good.
The others were very peppery.
Oh and I still have box elder nic. Its like myfreedomsmokes nic.

I think I seen some recent reviews of ECX nicotine in flavor reviews.

Oh I also wanted to ask if ecx have a version of "island tobacco". Some of the names as toally different from other places hehe. Also has anyone tried the grapefruit? I always wanted a good grapefruit flavor ever since I tried a sample of hypnotic from PA as I really liked the grapefruit tone it had but not the other flavors in it.

Good point. I think that if you are not sensitive anyway, you will do just fine with ECX. It is not bad. Not the best to my tastes but if I were ordering there anyway and needed nic, I would probably pick some up while there :) Good luck to you.

I think that debb tried tha grapefruit and liked it. Now, keep in mind that debb is our Mikey and likes everything lol Most of the fruits that I have tried are good. Some are slightly sweet and more candyish IMO.

I hope some of the others can pop in on this. I have no idea what "island tobacco" would taste like. Or grapefruit flavor. Did you see the numerous tobacco TE offerings? OMG I wish ECX would sell 5ml bottles.

I think ill try grapefruit and the ecx nic after reading a few reviews. All nic as some point if it sits long enough will start to discolor and small its just oxidation of air contacting the solution which is why I love 100mg as it just cuts down on the amount you have to use which is maybe why I dont notice the peppery as much but who knows.

I only mix at 10-12mg so I should be good either way. I also usually buy 100% VG nic so im sure it sits a lot longer than the PG but with my gallon of PG its just easier to buy VG nic and not have to buy bulk VG using a 70/30 mix.

Ya thats why I wanted to ask. VZ review says its a Lime/Coconut/Honey/Tobacco Flavor which sounds really good. I would try just buying the separate flavors but for me anyways I have issues with these mixing to many together as some flavors just seems to really cancel out others and I have short patience hehe.

Nic will not hold up as long in VG as it will in PG. If I were you, I would freeze it in smaller glass bottles to keep it fresh. Especially with a VG base.

I have had nic go bad in VG when i first strted DIYing. Trust me, sensitive buds or not, you will know lol

It will be alot easier to tell once ECX gets descriptions out there. The Island does sound good.

I think it sounds good to. The only thing that would stop me from trying to make a mix is the lime and coconut. Fruits from this line just for me anyways seem to really cancel out other flavors including tobacco's and my coconut I already has can be really overpowering and not only cancel out other flavors but really mellows out a mix.

Would love to just buy one bottle solution and wasnt sure if they already had it but was under one of the Chinese names or something to that effect.

Oh ya I do but thanks for the tip as others might not know. I got a 500ml bottle and just split it into smaller 60ml bottles as my mini-fridge has a freezer portion in it. Hell those 60ml bottles lasted me way longer than I ever thought they would per bottle. Love me some 100mg hehe.

I like to use the 100 mg too. It is easier to get to the right PG/VG level that you need for folks that use 24 mg plus too.

I agree. Some of these flavors are great as stand alones but I find others easier to use when mixing multiple flavors for me.

I am thinking it is under one of the Chinese names. One would have to goggle them to get a description at this point. Unlikely that Linnx will reply to a email/or pm since its the holiday now.

My next purchase will be 100mg/ml of the ecx nicotine base (pg).

One last question for now but does the ecx cinnamon eat tanks? I use tanks 98% of the time so have to ask hehe.

Do you have the new ones made from syringe material? If so, they are okay with cinnamon. If they are the clear, hard plastic, they will crack.
