There used to be so many great Nic sales, a least a couple a month. Now we get nada, zero, zilch, squatola! I think the vendors know that they have us by the short hairs, so they have no need to offer a sale. What a bummer, because I am ready to load up right now.
Heartland vapes has theirs at 44.99
And RTS will price match.

That is a great deal at both Vapers Tek and Heartland, thank you! I was going to order from RTS last week, then they quickly and literally over doubled their price. Currently their 100 mg one liter bottle is $99.00. I would be shocked if they will cut that price down to match the $40.00 at Vapers Tek or $44.99 at Heartland.

I don't think they would do it, they would find some excuse. Saying the packaging is different or something. I am just guessing.

Got my final order of NIC today from NicotineRiver. I suspect prices to plummet in a few weeks 8-8-16, when the FDA hammer comes down. I did not want to wait till the last minute and gamble to save a few bucks. I have not heard of a single encouraging word about these regulations being put off at all. And the black market prices may make the penny pinchers remorseful. Roll the dice and good luck to all!

To prevent atrophy in certain areas of the brain.
What? And not match the rest of me!?
Seriously, too many variables for me to juggle and an Excel spreadsheet isn't what I want, so, that calculator is just what I was looking for after trying several.
Plus, it is by a forum member who is VERY responsive to questions and feature requests.

I'm pretty sure they matched VT TH price for me last summer when it was $25/L

Nope. They matched Heartland's price 2 years ago. $147 for 3 liters.

Placed my first order with NN. Crystal clear and minimal smell just like I want it. Will be buying more soon. Thank God this thread still exists because I haven't bought in 3 years from my last stockpiling of the no longer available WL Ice and really did not know which way to go.

Yes. Great thread. I've referred many to here. Deserves a summary and a sticky.

So who here knows the story on the VT TH nicotine? (source, supplier, etc.)

All the reviews I read say it's just about as smooth, or smoother, as any other nicotine on the market. I've used about 500ml of their 100mg/ml EU Chemnovatic nicotine and love it. I like a nice throat hit (mix 50p/50v to 40p/60v) so why should I spend $60 more for the EU version nicotine, right? ;)

Kevin states it's exactly the same source and just slightly oxidized... Most say it's the same tasting or atleast almost i.e. very neutral, whereas e.g. Kurt also likes it very much but beause of it's slight bite/TH/pepper... ;) Personally I would guess they would be hard to blind-differ through, after seeing a pic Kevin posted of the pure nic which wasen't that badly oxidized imho(slight clear yellow, but still fine looking to me)...

Check out the vaperstek section at VU which is some good reads e.g. about the TH version too, which was where i saw the pic of the pure nic used in it. It's interesting to read the time vs kevin debate that went on there(and time's thread in "The mud pitt > U mad bro?" section"), lol :)

I'm not gonna post circumvented filtered links to VU here because of ECFs rules...

Yes, according to Kevin. Same polish-sourced chemnovatic nic(roumered originating from UK and india), just slightly oxidized, intentionally or not, according to if you believe Kevin, or doubts him degrading/oxidizing premium nic intentionally and selling cheaper(even at a loss in the old price of 1L bottles he states)...

Back when the VT throat hit nic was $25 a liter and long term storage wasn't a concern, I thought it was attractive. Now that I am thinking longer term I want to start with the minimum oxidation and the $40 price isn't as favorable, so not for me. I've been fortunate to have both Wizard Labs Ice and RTS nic come out smooth, clear and colorless after 18 to 30 months cold storage, so yellowed to start is not my preference.

Well, I followed my own advice and I have learned a valuable lesson....price should not matter when purchasing nic. This was my 1st order from Heartland vapes and I am disappointed.

I know it is hot just about everywhere, so I expected the box to be hot, but even tho it was packaged great with lots of bubble wrap in a very sturdy box, the container itself was very warm to the touch.

The nic as suppose to be all vg and I went ahead and shook it up, sounded really thin, like pg, plus I could tell there was a lot of room still left in the container. I waited for it to cool down before splitting it up between 4 8 ounce bottles.

Either they really thin their vg or someone made a label error when packaging.

To top that off, it was short by a lot. I expected to have some left over from filling to be able to leave out and to try. Since you purchase 1 litre which is equal to 1000 ml (and their label on the bottle says 1000 ml)and you split that among 4 8 ounce bottles that equal to 236.588ml per bottle you expect a little left over.

I was 50 ml short. Had to add 50 ml vg just to finish filling the 4th bottle. So that means not only the 50 ml short but the extra 50-ish ml I should have had left over anyway. So I'm thinking about 100 ml short. That is a lot in my book.

Not sure if I should email heartland and complain or just leave it alone and never order from them again. I have more than enough nic to last me for at least 20-25 years so its not like I need them to replace it.

Does anyone know if their vg is thinned?
