it is a difference of double and once you start doing DIY any amount of LTRS in the freezer never seem to be enough. You will probably hand out to friends, waste it, spill some, hand some more out to friends etc.

Very helpful observation. :thumbs: This is why I have 10 LTRS in my freezer. ;) Some people wouldn't think of waste when thinking of how much they'd need of anything.

If you can't read what LTRS means, either ask, or think a bit, before being rude (and chasing people off). That is not what this forum is.

Nicotine Giant's 60ml 100mg came in a sealed bag. Slight seepage (temperature change type stuff, I could hear the pressure release when I opened it).

It had a smell right out of the bottle that gave me pause. But I can't say I ever smelled the 100mg before.

Mixed to 10mg unflavored with VG and 10% DW it doesn't look yellow to my eyes.

Tastes flavorless and lacks TH like RTS's (I actually have some flavorless mixed up from my original RTS nicotine from 2013 I'll compare to but I'm sure it will be the same).
If it's not the exact same nicotine supplier it's handled in the same manner, and at a better price. It gets my seal of approval.

Mmm, taste that fresh cotton.

Looks good. As long as it isn't chemical smell. That's the only thing I shy away from.

I was thinking maybe along the lines of peppery from the smell of the 100mg, but there's nothing in the unflavored 10mg. It's even hard to tell I'm vaping, which is what I recall from RTS's when I tried unflavored.

My throat is a little rough after dripping a couple ml but that's probably that I'm not using TC coupled with not being able to taste anything making me get hotter than TC. (My clean TC tanks are pre-primed with the other unflavored so I didn't want to use them except to compare. This dripper was the easiest to get clean wicks in.)

Can anyone here dance while wearing Roller Skates ?? :rickroll:Just wondering is all.
Yep......
I have!

It happened every time I ever tried to rollerskate, wasnt the prettiest dance you've ever seen, but my feet were damn sure flying in the air.

My husband can rollerskate a lot better than me, but he's 10 years older. I encountered my FIRST roller rink here in Tucson (they did finally install an ice rink but I don't think it was open to the public). I was humiliated, but I've only ever ice skated or skied. LOL. The skills aren't exactly generalizable. I WANTED to teach the husband to ski, but we decided since he broke his neck twice perhaps that wasn't the wisest idea. LOL.

I used to go to a park in downtown Mesa, AZ (can't remember the name, but it was right across from the Mormon Temple) when I was a kid and roller skate at their indoor skate rink. I had a ball doin that and did it as much as possible. If I was to try today I am sure I would break my neck.

Ok who wants to be first to review CNT nicotine? Tobacco grown in India but only semi processed there before it ships to Siegfried's factory in Zofingenoff in Switzerland. NicSelect is similar but is fully processed in India.

100mg CNT E-Liquid Nicotine*

How about this for a comparison

Say you live in Australia, let the freight gouging begin...

I bought my last order from Liquid Barn (last order for a change and to try) but thought, from recommendations, i might try some from Vaperstek

But got a huge shock when it came to freight, really shouldnt have been shocked, just about every USA company gouges Aussies...

For 240ml/100mg these are Vaperstek charges at checkout:

Subtotal: $16.99
Postage + packaging: $61.57

Total: $78.56

$61 for shipping? We're used to getting gouged by overseas corporations because we happen to live in Australia, but..

Consider Liquid Barn, same liquid (actually more - 250ml):

Subtotal $ 23.49
Shipping $ 32.69 (DHL)

Total: $ 56.18

While their nic is slightly dearer, the freight is half what Vaperstek quote, even Fedex via them is cheaper than Vasperstek quote.

At the moment most Aussies order via Hiliq:

Same liquid (actually more - 250ml)

Subtotal: $19.68
Shipping: $15.99 (cheapest, ironically Fedex)
Even their most expensive freight (out of 3 options) is only $18.00 (DHL)
Total: $35.67

Delivered in 4 days, like clockwork..

Vaperstek quote is more than double...

Gouge much?

I did write Vaperstek an email....showing the above and perhaps explaining why they probably dont get a lot of orders from Australia...and asked if there was any way to get a better deal for us Aussies...

I get the same complaint from Australian customers in my (not vape related) business. I don't gouge. I simply pass on what the shipping companies charge me. Fact is, Australia is a heck of a long way from the US.

I trust you

Yes it is a fair way from the USA (but air miles less difference than you think between china to sydney and say LA to Sydney), but your freight companies charge almost like they are having to requisition and put on transport entirely for you and you alone and that there isnt already transport heading our way....and i can guarantee you that none of my gear from the USA arrives as the sole package on an airplane, escorted off by bodyguards, and down a red carpet.....

Gouging, its a sport

Nah, i used to go Hiliq, until the NTN unicorn nic incident, then i went to Liquid Barn...

But looking around again because variety should be the spice of life has made me rage against the freight all over again
