DIY Flavoring Thread - Part 2

[wolcen]

Hmmm... that two gallon deal is unbeatable to my knowledge. I was considering trying two pints which shipped is a hair over $20 (shipping @ $12). Even at $20, that's a good deal less than a vast majority of places.

Certainly worth just trying even if you don't go for the super deal. Their COA's look good too - I like those!

ETA: For anyone else checking out the price difference, 1 pint = 473mls (and of course 1 liter = 1000ml)

Excellent deal for 2 gallons................

Heck yeah - an outstanding deal!

I really appreciate they have the COA's up there [AND with dates], and they look great to me. Mind you I'm not a pro, but I think we can all appreciate <1 ppm heavy metals.

The cost per ml = $0.006. The only ecig site I've found with anything remotely close in terms of price is RTS at 2X more (RTS has been posting COAs recently too, albeit w/out dates except on the PG). Looking at the largest single bottle they sell, everyone I checked wasn't even close (ECX, MFS, WL are all 5X or more higher per ml).

I'm still using the VG I got as a sample from P&G Chemical and I like the taste of it. PG I get from my local Farm and Feed store at $19.95 a gallon (yes it's USP)but I haven't been able to stock up on nic. When the good sales happen I'm broke, and when I have a little extra cash to buy nic, nothing is on sale LOL

 

[FranC]

OMG Bov if I get that sample that will give me 2 gallons of vg and 1pg. Should be able to keep them down cellar where it's cooler.I've never have so much of it before.

 

[Bovinia]

They should keep fine in the cellar. You're gonna be swimming in base liquid!

I'm DIYing all our juice now, The vendor juice is almost gone. Hubby likes the new tobacco's so I'm good to go.

Does the pg and vg ever spoil?

My son and his friend were thinking about going in on the 2 gallon deal for us. I just have a question. What's not to like about VG? It's a viscous sweetish fluid...how can you mess that up? I've only ever used a few different brands but never really noticed any appreciable difference, so what am I missing?

 

[salemgold]

If you buy this, you're a heavy vaper

If you buy that, you may be sorry I have not tried that since last year but the taste was horrid.

I only ordered 1 gallon as a sample from P&G but wish that I had ordered more. Been using RTS since I ran out and it is very comparable IMO.

 

[the ob]

I have no idea why, and it makes no sense since I am one state away, but every time I order from ecigexpress, my packages come later than they are supposed to.

I had a shipment that was supposed to come today, and it is now not coming till tomorrow.

It was priority and is taking four days which is not supposed to happen.

Weird. I have people across the country that get them faster.

 

[Sdh]

That is weird. I live in WI and usually obtain my orders in two business days. First class with confirmation.

I never got my sample

It seems to be another subjective deal, either that or a batch variation thing, I dunno. In any case, they are on a different lot than you would have had (their current lot is purportedly from Jan/Feb 2012).

I don't know what exactly happens to them, but I have read a DOW chemical COA that specified the shelf-life of their PG at 32-104F is two years. VG I've seen shelf life for all over the place. As short as 1 year up to 3 years. I'd ask the supplier I guess. Either way, keep them cool & in the dark. If their current lot is in fact from Jan/Feb, there's 6 months + of age already.

BOO! Snail mail is certainly confounding at times. Sorry to hear though - I hate it when an expected package doesn't make it.

Don't tell me that, LA! LA! LA! LA! LA! LA! I can't hear you!

I think this is déjà vu.

Mine always take forever. And I paid priority.

Next time I may try first class.

Maybe the fact that I use priority is the issue.

Really they need to work on that one. Do you think it is the post office or ECX making the postage label an sitting a day or so? It is hard to speculate but I would be disturbed to pay for priorty an have to wait 4 days.

It's hard to tell from the USPS updates. I just know you and I have had this discussion before.

It could be either.

I also wonder if because it is coming to Oregon if it goes through a screwy chain to get here.

It is weird that yours comes in two days and mine, much closer takes four.

Hey your right deja vu for sure.
On a different note...I do not order from the Eastern states. Every darn time my order takes a vacation. The most famous error USPS from New York was when they sent my package to Florida.

I usually get along well with all mail carriers, except that UPS has been 1 day late for me a couple times already, USPS is just slow in general and they lost a package of mine last week. It was international (not vape related though).
