Is it possible to get all your DIY supplies at one vendor?

I think that I am being partially misunderstood here. Yes, plenty of places will carry everything you need in one stop. However, no one has nicotine and flavorings at the best price for everything. Which means you shop for the best possible price and pay lots of extra shipping to multiple companies, or just accept the fact that you will pay more for certain items at your vendor and get everything at one place with one shipping cost. Kind of a shame, but supermarkets do the same thing, certain ones always have cheaper items in different food categories.

I've not been able to use just one vendor, and I've really tried. I can't even get all the flavors I want from one place. Even if they list them, they never seem to have everything I want in stock. I have narrowed it down to two vendors who have free shipping at $65-75. And I get my PG-VG from Essential Depot via Amazon prime. So maybe I use three.

But I think you're right, if one vendor could 1) have competitive prices in everything, VG/PG, Nic, and flavorings, 2) along with having everything consistently in stock, they could mop up and wipe most everyone else off the map. But I'm not sure it will occur before state regulations make things even more crazy. Right now my favorite flavor vendor, Bull City, isn't selling nic because of new state laws.

Well being as I am a canuck and live right in beautiful Abbotsford british Colombia. One of my dearest friend is Kelly Mann. He has a sweet operation called www.diy-flavours.com So i get all my fixing from him. Super nice people Kelly and Trish Mann. I have no reason to look elsewhere. Mind you I get my nic from ecig express in Good old Washington State.

When I NEED certain flavors I rarely can find everything from 1 vendor. It used to drive me crazy now I just accept the fact I'll have to order from 2 different places. It's a pain because of the shipping charges but that's just how it is!

I just started DIY too and went through the same fustrating process. Just yesterday I placed my 6th order, which ='s my 5th shipping charge (1 was free). My husband and I had that same discussion about starting an online DIY store with everything, I figure if it was easy someone would've already done it!

What I've decided through this process is to look at it like this...I'm just starting and figuring out what I like, once I get that figured out I'll be ordering in bulk to keep the shipping cost down. In the meantime while getting my fav's figured out I'll be using coupon codes/sales and keeping my orders small enough to ship first class. Hopefully I'm at a good spot now to start that "Bulk Buy" list. For flavoring it's been completely impossible to find one vendor with every flavor I want...tell me who has FA Meringue right now? That list that @Sir2fyablyNutz posted is invaluable to figure out which vendors carry which makers. One I really like for sample flavors of FA & Cap is Eliquid Mart, they have 12ml sizes for the same price as everyone else's 10ml and Gremlin has 15ml for a penny more than that, (I think they also have a permanent discount code) of course, I found them after I'd placed all my other orders.

I just keep telling myself soon I'll know what I want big sizes of and order in bulk from the maker directly and this shopping nightmare (did I say that? I love shopping!!) will be winding down
