I bought some Titanium Ice (PG based) from Totally Wicked. I'm impressed, very clean and smooth tasting at 36mg/ml in unflavored PG. It's not perfectly colorless but the yellow tint is extremely pale.

I've heard fantastic things! If you get a chance to compare this to any of what the US vendors are selling please let us know

It is one of, if not the, very best. I have used both Titanium Ice and Platinum Ice from TW and have never seen the slightest tint of color to it, even after months of storage. It is also the most expensive by a long shot, so if you want to vape the "Rolls Royce" of flavorless eliquid, this is it.

from TW: Platinum and Titanium Ice, are in their entirety, sourced and manufactured in the UK by Totally Wicked.

This includes all of the packaging, as well as the fluids themselves, which are mixed and bottled in our purpose built clean room.

    If you mean to vape by itself, I think many of us Unflavored vapers don't like it so clean. It's great that it's available like that for mixing purposes tho.

    I found XtremeVaping's base is way too "clean" for me. Some liken it to ICE. I am recently liking WL's regular base myself. It's totally odorless and tasteless, yet there's something in it that makes me feel like I have a "mouthful".

    In reference to the link in my siggy, at one point I was excited about buying USA tobacco when I saw this article, but I'm starting to think that I'd be going back to supporting the industry that hooked me on smoking and tried to kill me for 35+yrs.

    Thoughts???

    r77,

    I think it's safe to say that---in the U.S. for sure and probably elsewhere---any product that achieves a significant niche in the marketplace (in monetary terms) becomes an attractive target for infiltration by Big Whatever.

    CASAA: U.S. extracted nicotine will soon be available
    According to our research, including industry sources, the nicotine currently used in e-cigarette liquid (even those advertised as "U.S. Made") is extracted by companies located in China, Japan, India, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Sweden and Norway and shipped to U.S. distributors. As far as we can tell, this will be the first company to extract nicotine from US-grown tobacco within the U.S. and it is pure extract intended for labs and businesses, not for retail sale.

    Are they saying there is currently no U.S. extracted nic? I find it hard to believe that CASAA would not be aware of RTS (who I think claims to be one of (if not the) largest nic suppliers in the U.S.), or do they know something we don't?

    I guess I'm late to the party on this one, has it been covered elsewhere?

    Well, for me personaly I have no ill will towards the tobacco industry. I'm an adult and chose to continue smoking, I never made any attempt to quit smoking until I found vaping, so the blame lies with me.

    If they make a quality product that is cheaper than I can buy elsewhere, I'll buy from them. Otherwise I'll continue buying imported nic. Just because they are a U.S. company would make no difference to me. I have gotten too old and jaded I guess, but no company anywhere is looking out for my interests so I feel no obligation to look out for theirs.

    CASSA is well aware of RTS.
    Anyhow, I'm thinking of starting my own nic base extraction lab on the moon. I'm just waiting for the rocket fuel prices to go down :p
