Krystal vs. Platinum Ice

[wrecktangle]

Has anyone done a comparison of Ecopure's Krystal and Totally Wicked's Platinum Ice?

I know Krystal is only 36mg and PI is 57mg.

Both these products are UK produced (I believe) and was just wondering how they compare.

Forgive me if this has been done, and if it has if you'd point me to the thread I'd appreciate it.

has anybody been able to get any platinum ice lately?

way to pricey for me

Ditto. Given the prices, £ for £, the Krystal is a vastly better buy for anyone who vapes at less than 24mg. It comes out around 22% cheaper.

PI is PG and Krystal is VG... right?

yep eco is vg. TW Plat ice is pg.

I will be sticking to K36 now, not to much into the pg nic and over priced thing.

You only have to look at TW's price for glycerine to see their markup. £3.99 for 50ml? I can buy 200ml of glycerin BP over the counter at my local pharmacy for £1.39. Add a little vodka for thinning and you have the same thing at a fraction of the cost.
The only difference is that it has no cheesy devil-head logo on the packaging

True but in light of recent things that devil logo can and will not be getting my money.

I have not been able to get any PI- it has not been in stock for over a month- so the website says. What draws me to it- even at the price is the purity. Everything I have heard about it- claims it is very pure and does not have the chemical taste. Strong- yeah- chemical, no. I have yet to get a higher mg juice that does not have a funky taste attached to it. One has a taste that is like a raunchy licorice type taste, and another I swear to GOD tastes like roach spray smells. If they all tasted the same, I would chalk it up to the nature of the beast- but there is a wide range of tatses out there. If I find one that is pure- and doesn't taste like a chemical factory or a contaminated mixing accident that is what I'll buy regardless of price- (to an extent of course). These tastes I am talking about do not go away when you mix it down either.

Krystal certainly doesn't have any 'funky' taste, it really is flavourless.

I personally prefer VG (my tastebuds actually find PG a bit 'funky' now) and the Krystal is perfect for DIY as it carries the flavours so beautifully

 

[Dredbull]

I do find myself going more straight Krystal over flavors at times. Hell I vape vg just for the fog.

Thank you all for your responses. I've not yet tried Krystal, but have tried PI. Some of the other unflavored I've tried does have a taste, varying among distributors from nasty to tolerable. PI is tasteless and I have a bit of trust in the manufacture of it. I would trust Krystal also having been made in a UK facility. While PI may be expensive, depending on the cutting you do to it, it can be quite cost efficient. I don't want to have to add additional flavor just to mask a manufacturing flavor.
