Damn :shock:. Now I can SEE why you NEED a freezer. I'm just starting out, so we'll see how I do.

I started vaping just about the time the FDA was seizing shipments at the ports. Once I realized this vaping thing was going to work for me I quickly decided that if I wanted to stay off the cigarettes that I would need to be self sufficient.

That's when I started researching mechs, rebuilding and DIY and found ECF which has been an invaluable resource. At this point I could stop buying all together and vape in the style to which I am accustomed for several years.

For me, no vaping=death. Either death by cigs or death by my wife if I'm not getting my nicotine ;)

I hear that I do. I get Anti-Social :grr: without my Nic, and Splitting headaches :( without my Pepsi (Caffeine).

About pg and vg sweetness, then yes, both are sweet. Vg is by defenition always 60% as sweet as table sugar, or else it's simply not vg! I haven't been able to find how pg relates to table sugar in percent, but it's also sweet for sure, just e.g. try some on a spoon as test and also do it with vg! Vg is naturally tasting, like mild honey or sirup, and pg is less sweet, but still is sweet though, and also has a bitter dry strange to me taste. Very much resembles sweet bitter alchohol in my tastes, but is very good at brightening up a mix with e.g. fruit flavors in and where e.g. vg rocks for desserts etc.

Many think a lot of vg tastes different from vendor to vendor and some maybe also do, but a lot of times in my experience the same vg can have different tastes, based on a lot of variables, like temperature, wick/coil conditions water amount; water evaporates faster than the vg and hence alters the picture how far down the tank you get or puff number in a dripper etc. Sometimes I barelly notice the sweetness of vg and othertimes it's pretty overwhelming. Other times it's very neutral and others it becomes very fatty feeling, like vaping oil, but only for a short time thankfully and not happens very often...

Not used it sorry, as I can't get it where i'm from, but it's regarded as low throat-hit, which most very neutral nics is generally...

You can get throat-hit fine with the cleaner nics by upping the wattage and surface-area of coils imho, but it's not known for massive throat-hit though...

Side note off-topic, It's strange how hard the throat-hit feels of any nic, when e.g waking up or elsewise haven't vaped in some hours...

My poor throat can't stand any more hit after smoking for 35 years ... I want nicotine with no hit.

Willy-
I smoked for 45 years and yeah, it does take a toll. But, that sensation is ingrained and having it in my juice really helps. Then again, a lot of folks prefer the smooth hit.

Thanks everybody for the suggestions.

I think it depends if you vape tobaccos or fruit/desert types. @67Tele , dont you vape a lot of tobaccos?

I haven't posted in this thread for quite awhile but still check in occasionally, just wanted to let anyone interested know Nude Nic is running a sale. It's 30% off any nic solution with code PreBlackFriday30

My wife's not going to be happy, I think it's time to look into a dedicated freezer :|

Carry on :)

Thanks for the info. Like you, I probably have 7 years worth in the freezer (mfs, rts and vt) but have never tried Nude so just ordered 250ml.

The last I ordered was 120ml of the Carolina Xtract which is impressive imo. I'm curious to see how the two compare.

I don't think I have any from carolina ___ (can't see the name while typing) is it worthwhile getting? I think I've covered the bases with most others now. Vapers Tek was one of the last major supplier to collect.

I don't have Heartland but I haven't really heard of a reason it's a must have yet. There's a local supplier too that I haven't checked out. Hmmm ... I do still have more to go.

I have
Nic Select
Wizard Labs
RTS
MFS
Liquid Barn
Ecigxpress
Nude Nic
Vapor's Tek
And I haven't gotten into them yet.

Carolina extract is very worth having for the smooth nic crowd. I really like it.

Yes, I found it very smooth also especially compared to what I've tried up until now. Very smooth and clean tasting, not harsh or peppery although I still get decent TH doing mtl inhales at 12mg and a nice nose tingle/slight burn when french inhaling.

I thought it wise to compare to NN before investing in a liter of one or the other. The VT I have is the TH version so these 'smooth' nics are a new (and pleasant) experience.

So you're saying that any vendor to vendor differences that there might be would be lost in those variables that you listed so as to Not be a deciding factor on the purchase of PG and/or VG. I should just look for a good deal and not worry about which vendor to get it from ? O.K. I can go with that. Less hassle for me is always a good thing, and I agree about the flavor changing during the same tank full of juice, if that is what your saying, because I have noticed that happen from time to time.
