I'm on a very tight budget but still trying to prepare for a possible flavor ban. I'd like to find an inexpensive 100% nicotine in a vg base to mix with pg/vg and flavor. And nic salts already mixed with pg/vg at a 24% salt nic mixture that I can just add flavor. I've won a couple gift certificates so I was able to get some pg, vg, and a few flavors that can be used alone so I dont need to buy flavors.
I've found quite a few sites from doing a search here but nothing to tell which is best for both my needs. Please help me! Thanks in advance!

Just for clarity:
-- 100% nicotine equals 1,000mg/mL.
-- ECF prohibits direct/detailed discussion, or sourcing, of nicotine concentrate use greater than 200mg/mL (20%)(for safe handling reasons).
-- I am unaware of anyone offering 240mg/mL (24%) nic salts.

By chance, did you mean you are looking for 100mg/mL (10%) freebase nicotine, and 24mg/mL (2.4%) nicotine salts? It is best, to always state your nicotine levels in "milligrams/milliliters" format, to avoid confusion. :)

Hi @Anise I am in France so others will be able to help you with websites in the US. Liquid nicotine wholesalers (US) are good. I use them from time to time.

Another option for you if you have freebase concentrate base. I make my own salts using benzoic acid. It's really easy to do. If you're interested let me know and I'll send you the recipe.

Good luck :)

I have purchased from Nude Nicotine and from Liquid Nicotine Wholesalers.

LNW has good prices for the budget conscious..

Nicotine Salts

But any nicotine wholesaler will be able to provide what you want. What you'd like to do is keep an eye out for sales, and take advantage of them.

Overall though, nicotine isn't very expensive at all, and when purchasing in the 100mg/ml variety, it goes a long way.

I’ve bought freebase from many vendors and it’s all been good. I’ve heard not to buy it from MFS, but otherwise, it’s just a matter of price comparison.

I’d say look through the sales and deals thread at the top of this forum.

Liquid nicotine wholesale is where I got my salts, and they’re fine but that’s the only salts I’ve tried so far.

I got both types at 100 mg/Ml, some at all vg, some half and half. Depends what I’m making. But there’s no difference between freebase and salts as far as mixing goes, and at 100 mg/ml it takes up less freezer space.

I've used both Nic River and LNW in the past. Both have always had very good product. I've gotten salts and freebase from both and have been pleased with all of it.

It is best to wait/find a sale if you are going to store for future use, but it doesn't hurt to try a vendor before, or even order some in case some legislation comes through sooner than expect that affects us.

I believe they also offer a number of other various concentrations of nic and VG/PG combos. However, if you are going to get 100mg freebase, then I would just buy 100mg nic salts as well. It's much less expensive to buy the 100mg concentrations than to buy for example a pre-mixed 24mg/ml.

If you're going to be diluting the freebase down, you can do the same with the salts and save yourself some money.
