If Nicoticket is your #1, whats #2?

[lasttango]

With Roundhouse gone, I like Radioactive best... it's their least sweetest brew... and I think it is pretty amazing stuff... I am trying to figure out how to drip this liquid... if anyone has had luck dripping radioactive... or the virus, let me know what works well... it's a bit strong at .5 ;-) --- works best for me in a tank or carto.

After trying Nicoticket, specifically The Virus (H1N1), I don't think I'll ever find an equivalent eliquid that is as complex and tasty. Spending $31.99 for a 60ml doesn't absolutely break the bank, but I would like to find something cheaper that also rivals in quality.

I know everyone has had different experiences with the thousands of different brands and individual flavors, so I guess I'm asking for suggestions from people who have had The Virus from Nicoticket that can relate to exactly what I'm faced with. I am not simply just asking everyone to tell me what they like, but only from people who have had The Virus.

If you've had the opportunity to try, (and fall in love with) The Virus, have you found a close 2nd brand that has similar quality and is less expensive?

I've tried to think of ones to help, but most I like with the same complexity of flavor are the same price if not more.

I did like several from Ahlushion (ditto on what Jingles said about the sales) - I liked Maple Dream over Carmel Wildwood, JG Blend, Fijian Nights (not Tiramusu, Strawberry Shortcake...oh and others) -- but I quit trying more after NT.

I'm boring and haven't tried much new stuff lately.

Only good tip I have is I know several NT fans mix unflavored with their NT, some to cut down the intensity of the flavor, some to up VG, some to stretch budget. You might give it a try to stretch your vaping $$, see if you still dig the flavor.

I'm hoping for 20% off on Virus soon myself!

My first NT order arrived today, I am not happy with the viscosity and VG/PG ratio as I am used to the thicker 80% VG stuff, I also fouled up and ordered 12 mg nic, forgetting that 6 mg is suggested for my Atlantis, but that's on me. I love the flavors though, truly incredible!

The Custard Last Stand is incredible! I could vape it all day if thicker and not so nic heavy (again that's on me)! 50/50 mix stock

The Crème Brule is everybit as tasty. 50/50 mix stock

Finally the Betelgeuse... yummy fruity berry goodness almost too sweet for my taste...almost! 65/35 mix stock.

Can anyone tell me if they'll make you a high vg? Their website seems to discourage it...?

I drip both, Radio is my fave. Mostly with a reo, but right side up dripping too. I'm usually around .5, 6mg.
What mg are you using? Maybe lower? Too harsh, or too flavorful?

Stop by the NT sub forum....there's a large group that would love to help you enjoy them.

Clark, generally, does not do custom mixes.
Some flavors are released in max VG.
He was talking about releasing a full line of max VG at one point, but I'm not sure.

Stop by the NT subforum for better answers.
There's people who pay better attention to this than I.

I absolutely love Radio. Love TV too....hard to say which I prefer more. Some days its Radio....others its TV. But anyways I started out dripping both juices and have found that I now prefer them out of a tank like a Kayfun. Radio in the Kayfun at 12-15 watts is divine!

Might try running your dripper on a regulated high watt device and play around with the watts that way. I found out I really like ACB in the 20-25 watt range but anything over that and it becomes a little too intense for my tastes.....too much of the "CB" and not enough of the "TA".

Also that's a pretty "brown" catch you got in the photo. I'm trying to schedule a fishing trip with Mick sometime this year.

They will not make custom orders. What is being advertised is what you get. They make their flavors in batches and not to order.

I understand completely what you are saying about cost SacredNut. But for me, I have gone in the complete opposite direction. I was a loyal customer of Five Pawns, vaped nothing else. I was paying $27.50 for a 30ml bottle from Five Pawns. I am now vaping Nicoticket exclusively and do not think twice about paying $31.99 for a 60ml bottle...I'm getting double the juice, a superior product in my opinion, and saving money. Every other Tuesday, Nicoticket has their 20% off sale on a selected flavor, that sweetens the pot even further, $31.99 down to $25.59. I am using the 60ml bottle as my example because I made the mistake of buying 4 30ml bottles with my first purchase from them. Don't make the mistake I did, just get the 60ml from the get-go, you will be happy you did. Just my

If by chance you read this Clark, this is not an endorsement for a price hike.

Am I the only one that had all of Nicoticket's juices taste burnt after about 10 minutes of vaping? Been rebuilding cotton coils for years and have never had a problem with any other liquids ever. Did I get a bad batch or something? I'm surprised nobody's had the same problem.

Got my first order of Nicoticket in today and I have to say I'm a bit underwhelmed with The Virus. I was pretty excited to try this one based on comments here, reviews here and elsewhere and the description of the flavor from the Nicoticket site. Not a fan. All I'm getting is a strong, almost savory peanut. It's especially disappointing after I initially opened the bottle and smelled it. It smelled creamy, maple-y, almost reminiscent of those Mary Jane candies. The vape is nothing like that. On occasion I get a slight hint of that maple goodness but it's mostly peanut. I'm not even picking up any tobacco at all. I wouldn't be as disappointed if this needed steeping like most of their juices but the description on the site says to use this straight away and not steep.

I also picked up Wakonda and Custard's Last Stand. CLS was the stand out of the three and it supposedly needs a good bit of steeping before it peaks. Wakonda is just okay right out of the box. I'm gonna reserve judgment on both until they've steeped a good bit.

I noticed the same thing with all 3 of mine. Maybe steeping will help, it sure cant hurt!

Please give us a follow-up on this after steeping, as will I.

Which flavors, what build?

Personally I get burnt sugar from Gravity and Betalgeuse rather quickly, on all my builds. But not the others. Many don't have this complaint though, and they're their faves.
You might ask in the NT subforum for more opinions.

Virus changes A LOT, day by day, week by week.
I think the reason it says no steeping is because most people enjoy experiencing all the changes.
I find it smoother maplier/carmelier over time.
Don't give up on it!
Also, it mixes well with CLS


A lot of people talk about peanuts, but I never really get that.

Short answer no. Not even close.

Nicoticket

Virus, custard, betelgese, gravity... All of them had an aweful burnt taste on my protank even after steeping. It got to the point where I had to change my wick and clean my coil about three times during a 2.5 mil tank. Not to bash them, but I have no idea why Nicoticket is so popular when the juice is nearly unvapable after a few minutes

I'm stumped on Virus and CLS, especially since you build your own coils.
I've vaped both on protanks, with no problem.

Virus is a NET hybrid, so will gunk up coils quicker than others.
But to not even get through a tank?
That has not been my experience, at all.

Maybe I'll give them another try when they have a sale and vape it on a subtank, this was about 9 months ago so maybe they did something or maybe I did infact get a bad batch.

In my experience, they all love heat.
Gravity is on sale through Sunday, if pattern holds, there will be a new one Monday.

Will be listed here, if you're not on the mailer

At $.53 per ml for 60ml is a pretty damn good bargain for a high quality premium juice like Nicoticket

let's compare to a few other premium brands

Five Pawns 30ml $27.50
27.50/30= $.916 per ml

Suicide Bunny, Cosmic Fog, Space Jam 30ml $22.00
22.00/30= $.73 per ml

The Standard 30ml $23.00
23.00/30 = $.766 per ml

Virgin Vapor, Halo, NicQuid 30ml $20.00
20.00/30 = $.666 per ml
