For all those doubting that pure nic can be bought legally or otherwise here in the US. There are legitimate chemical companies that sell the stuff. There are two that I've found but one makes it very easy to at least place the order. You can order online and they will process your credit card online. How far it goes after that I'm not sure because I didn't complete order. I was just curiously testing and wanted to see if I was ever prompted to provide credentials... I wasn't asked. It appeared that I could order as long as I paid the extra hazardous material fee for shipping. In any case, I know better than to try and get my hands on that stuff. My assumption is they will call you before shipping. I'd think they would risk getting into trouble themselves if they sold pure nicotine to just anyone.

I'm not going to mention the company or URL. Just in case this seemingly legitimate company doesn't do it's due diligence and ships pure USP nic to anyone. I'm not going to be the one putting a nail in someone's coffin by saying, "Here's the company, go kill yourself." If someone really wants to find it, they can search for it.

Like someone else said earlier... The cost of premixed liquid is well worth not risking your own life.

Very wise buddy;
One headline that states "e-cig user dies" could totally destroy us all.
I've done some stupid things in my life, but never like this. I'd like to meet any person who has pure nicotine shipped to their home, face to face, so I can slap the s**t out of them.

You very much have my permission to remove this tread since I started it. No worries about me killing myself.

If the moderators do not consider this an appropriate thread then by all means, it if is possible, remove the thread.

And the vote is apparently in...I will never post the URL on this forum.

Kindest regards,
Linda

P.S. This was a good one :)
Please, please be careful - we need you for the ensuing battle!

SO WHY IS THIS STILL HERE!!!
I'm not a total nube but if someone just happen to read this and just read the first few post and isn't as addicted to reading every post and warning that came along after that like me... I'm afraid they would instantly search for and get their hands on this stuff... Please someone remove this...

So did you create the thread as some kind of joke or are you really what I think?
Alan.

PS I don't believe I can be banned for what I think:-x

Like others have already mentioned, one drop on your skin and youre dead. The only safe way to work with something like this is with a glove box, proper equipment for accurate micromeasurments, and proper equipment for thorough mixing in suspension. This is NOT something that one does at home and should only be done by very experienced chemists in a proper hazmat lab. Even then it's extremely high risk. Get a drop on the outer container or any other parts of the equipment and then touch it and youre dead.

My brother and I ordered bulk from centraltrade, 1200ml of 36mg strength cost me about 150 bucks shipped. I then ordered some food grade VG for 25 bucks, I vape 18mg strength, if I cut it in half with VG I can get about 80-30ml bottles of juice, 18mg strength. Comes out to $2.18 per 30ml bottle of 18mg strength ejuice. Any cheaper and I would feel guilty me thinks.. :thumb:

Should have known that fear of what idiots may do and what other idiots would do to us because of it would shut this down. I personally find it disgusting that it is likely that if some twit killed themselves this way we would get the backlash rather than, oh, holding the individual accountable for their own actions...but that's a general issue of mine (when did personal responsibility die? was it stillborn?). I think I've found a source anyway for when I get around to it. BTW, MS in Analytical Chemistry, so, yes, I know how to handle this stuff. The same worries of backlash would likely keep any results from being postable, so I guess this is dead...

Why did I post here? A joke? Not at all. I had definitely ordered. I felt safe enough in my abilities to not kill myself. Unfortunately, I received this email this a.m.

Dear Linda xxx (last name omitted),

Thank you for your order. Unfortunately we are unable to provide the item(s)
you ordered. Your credit card has not been charged. The material is not available for the following reasons:
( x ) Product has been discontinued.

So, I won't be getting it from this company.
Linda

Just my 2 cents.
I took Chemical Engineering Technology in college and what posters have stated regarding safe handling is correct. You do not want to be mixing nicotine, USP outside of a lab environment. Its extremely hazardous where it is a trans dermal poison and a painful/needless way to die if someone is exposed to a lethal dose.
Most of us have kids and pets so I am perfectly content to let a supplier provide my juice rather than risk them getting exposed.
I even keep my ready to use e-liquid in camera bags that I put padlocks on to prevent any accidental exposure.

It would have been in a lab with a hood, with a splash guard face mask, with a rubber apron and with rubber gloves.

But, I still have not found a supply yet and so this conversation is moot.

Thank you very much for considering my safety everyone.

Linda
