Good morning! Check out @UncleJunkle's blog here:

List of US Retailers Still Shipping 100mg Nicotine Base | E-Cigarette Forum

and buy a couple liters of 100mg/ml nicotine base. Then, you can mix your own ejuice using an e-liquid calculator (I use e-liquid recipes .com but there are many out there) or simply spike your zero mg ejuice with a little nicotine to make 3mg, or 6mg - whatever you vape at, again using an e-liquid calculator to be certain your using the correct amount.

Nicotine base keeps in the freezer for years... no issues. Just keep out a small working amount for use.

Welcome to ECF!

Thank you so much! I'll check it out.

This is probably a dumb question, but is nicotine base a lot different to a nicotine salt? I'm asking because I bought some nicotine salt to 'up' my nicotine amount on a low nic juice and I have to be careful because it affects the flavour of the juice. I've managed to work it by trial and error. Would nicotine base be the same or is it easier to mix with a juice without affecting flavour?

Thanks again :thumbs:.

if you want nicotine salt instead of freebase (or regular) nicotine you have to specifically buy salt nicotine.

Neither salt nor freebase should affect the taste of your ejuice significantly.

Nicotine base just means its nicotine suspended either in PG or VG, and is an unfinished product. i.e. it's not ejuice, it's simply nicotine.

Ejuice the finished product consists of Nicotine base, PG, VG, and flavorings. So base is only one ingredient you use to make nicotine e-juice

Hello and welcome, Afleck.

As have other responders, I would point to the list of US sellers still shipping.

I buy a lot from PerfectVape, but their site currently says it's up to 10 business days to ship because of the surge in business (obviously because so many others have stopped shipping). They have all different nic concentrations.

Hi

I am also in Melbourne. And just wondeing if you are aware that October 1st, the loophole in legislation which allowed us to import liquids *as long as they made no therapeautic claims* closes. And everything containing nicotine will be illegal without prescription. Regardless of labelling

It is unclear if border force/customs will just destroy the shipment, or impose penalties. Which are set at fines of $22,000

Just in case you didn't know to stock up for arrival prior to 1st October
