Nic-R-us

Does anyone have any experience with them at all?

I've been trying to find a good reliable source of nicotine base.
I used to purchase my flavourings from the flavour apprentice but I might aswell get them in canada aswell too.

Going through their website, I just can't figure out whether they're selling just pure flavours or premixed e-liquids.
I would say they're selling flavours, hence the fact that it doesn't ask for anything else than the resquested quantity.

Thanks for sharing what you know about them guys

Unless something has changed, I wouldn't be ordering flavor concentrates there, have you checked out the prices? Outrageous to say the least.

Thats what I was thinking aswell.
The nic base isn't so bad, but the flavours are outrageous you're right.

totally agree.

No doubt, their flavours are expensive, but the base is incredibly priced. At par with US vendors and no custom hassles and reasonable shipping. They have had some hic-ups with the supply of their pure nic in the past but they seem to have sorted that out.

I for one will support them as the premier choice of nic this side of the border. That is once I have done my own Titration Test of my upcoming shipment

Do a youtube search for them. They do their Titration Test on camera for each batch. Nice touch

i have a newbie question when they say they are selling nicotine 100mg with pg base is that mean they selling nicotine with pg? or i have to add a pg to it too all i know i need nicotine pg vg and flavoring so if nic comes with pg then do i need to buy pg or no?

 

[Jonathan Tittle]

Nicotine has to be diluted down from the 1,000mg/ml concentration it comes in, if that's how they receive it, so they use PG and/or VG to dilute. So if you buy 100mg/ml concentrate, then you're buying straight nicotine extract diluted down to 100mg/ml with your choice of PG and/or VG, depending on what mix you choose.

From there, you would dilute the 100mg/ml down with PG/VG to get your desired nicotine percentage. You'll still need PG & VG to further dilute to get to a vapable concentration. For DIY, you'd need to buy Nicotine diluted in either PG, VG or both, PG & VG independently and then your flavoring.

Hi I am going to try my hand at DIY i made an order at Nic-R-us there flavour is twice the price of Flavour Art(in Italy) but from my research it is the smallest percentage of your juice and Flavour Art is really good flavour so all things considered there a pretty good deal if your in Canada

ok so buy the nicotine base with PG... then get 1L of PG and 1L of VG right? then.... get some flavoring so i got my 4 things even if the nicotine says pg or vg, still get my PG 1L ok i got it. and then use the calculator and then it will tell me how many drops of each to mix i got that far correct right?

Hi Raccoon_Canada I ordered 1L PG nic base 25 mg and the 1L ready mixed VG I plan to mix it 50 50 and add flavour and sweetener
This should dilute the nic to 12 mg and I should be good to go hope this is a good plan ?

i am not sure as i am a new to this, it looks simple and easy but, i am not sure if i get 4 things or only 3 things

 

[Steamer861]

Heres a vid from Grimm Green check it out I got the Ready mixed VG and if I don't like it I can all way buy Pharmaceutical grade VG at Shoppers Drugmart so from them you really only need the nic base and the flavour SOME DIY JUICE MIXING WITH GRIMM - YouTube
p.s from what I read you can use liquid Slenda as a sweetener you only need a few drops

Yes. Buy your Nicotine at whatever mixture ratio you prefer. I prefer 100% PG Nicotine as VG doesn't always carry too well, which results in more shaking to keep it mixed. I suggest 100mg/ml, but keep in mind, this is very concentrated and honestly, you should be wearing gloves when handling it. If it gets on your skin and absorbs, it can make you ill. There is such thing as a nicotine overdose and it's not pleasant.

In addition to the Nicotine, buy how ever much PG & VG you feel you need. I generally buy by the gallon from Essential Depot as they offer 1 Gallon of PG and 1 Gallon of VG for $55 with free shipping. It's hard to beat that deal, but I believe it's US only. Not sure about Canada.

Once you get your Nicotine, PG and VG, download the eJuiceMeUp Calculator below.

eJuice Me Up - Best eJuice Calculator

It'll allow you to input what you need to get your mix ratios correct. For exact results, I suggest using the ML measurements, not drops as all flavors vary in consistency, so not all come out to 20 drops/ml, 30 drops/ml, 35 drops/ml etc. If you use ML measurements only, you'll get exact measurements 100% of the time which makes replicating a good flavor easy instead of having to guess or remember how many drops that one flavor took to get to 1 ml of flavoring.

You can buy syringes and blunt tip needles from WizardLabs.us.

Friends just did a Co-op and it should be here in the next few days. I'll be testing it for them- expecting it to be fine but I know they've been swamped with packing backlogged orders.

thats has answered my questions, thank you so much

You can buy VG and PG (both USP) at the pharmacy. VG USP is in the First Aid Section near the Isoproyl (labelled as Glycerin USP). Shoppers sells 250 ml for $6.00. As for the PG (500 ml) it's sometimes special order (no need for a Prescription- pharmacies use it as a carrier agent). If asked just tell them either you're making candles or non allergenic soap.
When mixing make absolutely sure you're wearing glasses- nic juice in the eye is very painful.

The actual technical side of DIY is easy as long as you fallow all safety precautions and stay focused. The really tough part is finding the right recipes as some can contain 10+ flavors.

You need to use Pharmaceutical grade VG, not food grade.

Hmm keep this one in mind, knew I shoulda checked back here before making another stateside order for 500 @ 48 . Just used the last dregs of the one I ordered it a year and a half ago.

Looking for cheap good flavours though, check out inawera flavours out of poland (somehow they charged me less for shipping via Poczta Polska than canada post would charge me for shipping within canada =P ), I recommend Gold Ducat if your into tobacco flavors.
