I'll try them next:) Nicvape has been selling for quite awhile and I've not noticed complaints. Is it Odorless and tasteless? I vape it straight so ANY smell or taste wouldn't be acceptable for me.

Edit: Nice prices, it seems. Boy, I'd be very happy to find a place with a good selection of hardware!
It's very clean, but has a nice TH.

Say mates, can a noob jump in here for a moment. I have to say for someone new to diy this has been a very informative and entertaining thread.

My question is this: I've been mixing and vaping unflavored nic from MFS and no complaints so far... even have some stocked up in the freezer. But I want to try another unflavored nic and based on this thread I think I'm torn between VZ and ECX. My question is which has the better throat hit or are they identical? On TH the chart shows VZ followed by ECX but then under the column 'purest possible taste while maintaining massive TH' it places vz and ecx in the middle while XTR comes in on top. Yet xtr is way over next to rts on the TH column. That part has me a bit stumped.

What say ye?

cheers,
cho

Those products along a row with the same background color are 'similar' in the quality listed. You might find some further differientation back in Cyrus Vap's text evaluations, but the differences are, if not insignificant, not substantial for sure. I don't know that the order along the rows makes much differnce, rather the color does. CV might add comment.

VZ may be lower than ECX in overall "Purest Taste, etc." per its higher level of Pepperiness than VZ.

PS to CV - I've copied the chart and added a colum to for NickVape. I have price so far ($0.26/ml). If NV gets evaluated, I'll be glad to fill in the blanks and republish the chart.

    Not to minimize all the time and effort put into this, but I kinda went with post #79.:ohmy:

    Thank you Cool, that explains alot. I guess I was placing too much emphasis on the order instead of the colors

    I'll second that.

    I'll third that.

    *cho scratches his head and returns to post #79*

    Well that was easy. You know mates, I actually remember reading over that one sometime last week but I have to admit there's been alot of info in this thread to digest and learn. And I'll toot my horn a bit here and say I'm making the effort.

    Yesterday I mixed up some ry4 which turned out pretty good but last night I lay in bed thinking, "I should really get a grasp on the basic flavors of the nic and vg before I get too far ahead of myself."

    So I got up, and went to mixing. Took my mfs 100mg nic and cut it to 2mls each of 36/24/10mg in 100% vg unflavored. Sometime around the middle of that session I heard my wife get up (this is around 3:00am) and she stuck her head around the corner and saw me with my gloves, bottles and syringes. She just looked at me like I was nuts, then turned and went back to bed. Trust me, I've worked night shift for over 20 yrs, she's used to it.

    Then I came down to my computer room, popped a dripping atty on the twist and became one with my juice for about an hour afterwhich I returned to bed. What did I learn?

    That nicotine induces extremely vivid dreaming.:blink:

    Actually I started with the 36mg... whoa! Well that settles one fact, nic level definitely affects throat hit, I could only handle 2 toots... just too much for my 51yr old throat that partied hard in the seventies. So I tried the 24mg... umm, not bad. Still a nice TH but I could actually settle in and try to ponder the nuances of the nic now. I picked up on the peppery aspect but could never catch the alkaline that I read of. Not bad for a noob I suppose. So I chased with pure vg (an interesting change in itself) and then went to the 10mg nic which still had a bit of th but let me savor this stuff even more.

    All in all, an interesting experiment. I think I came to realize why 18mg nic lvl is the sweet spot for me in my juices. Maybe I don't even need my nic to have killer TH to be satisfied. But I'm still curious enough to try the same test with some xtr nic. :D Anyway, thanks for reading. I'm learning alot from this gang.

    cheers,
    cho

    Thank you for the update cool_breeze, hopefully we'll all be hip to nicvape soon

    As cool said, at least based on what I had and did, the VZ is close but has a bit more pepper. If you enjoy that aspect of MFS, VZ might give you what you enjoy minus a bit of the extra 'taste' that MFS brings to the table

    I wasn't aware this was such a profound post! I'm glad it helped someone! LMAO :) :) :)


    No profunditity. I think I just go by what people do, not so much say. :) G'afternoon Cyrus, hope you are doing well.


    CHOHAN--- It wasn't the high nic on the atty that I was refering to. It was simply his choice of nic. Welcome to the thread.

    I am doing well, thank, and hope you are doing well...as well :)

    And yes welcome to the insanity Chohan !

    If it makes anyone feel better, more confused, or better yet, both, I have been vaping WLR unflavored for the past few days and loving it ;)

    Lol, no confusion here. For me, this thread has provided an unbiased (mostly) reporting, and some fun. The thread has separated some good from some bad(or inconsistent), and saved some folks some time and effort, and cash.
