Sorry, dont know them, but often MFS is stated to be not the cleanest... For nics cheaper in price often generally recommended is vaperstek TH. Also heartlands is often liked and nicotine-river is a second option. RTS is often liked, but I believe they raised there prices recently. Oh, vape-clarity is another...

Sorry for not being able to offer personal opinions on these... The above, except RTS, is from 40 - 60 bucks I believe...

Is the MFS nic that's on sale worth buying? $50.00 a liter doesn't sound too bad. The $100.00 a liter Nude and Vapers Tek is just out of my budget. Anything better at about the same price?

Thanks!

+ 1 on that , i'm not paying $100.00+ for a liter . VT was apparently making a profit from charging $25.00 a liter for the TH in the past , why they dropped the TH a while back is beyond me .

The VT-TH is back for 40. Kevin stated he sold it at a loss before(???)... Putting extra effort into it AND selling it at a loss additionally, lol... Of course as Kurt stated, who are we to tell buisness owners how to handle there own buisness, and which I fully agree on and follow, but common sence is also just hard to supress at times ;) (Note, not doubting Kevin's word per-say, as what the .... do I know about it, right, but just also feel it's okey to question things sounding strange, well not question it, but rather stating that atleast it sounds strange... )

If I was in the states, you'd better believe I would buy Kevin's TH nic, so hope i'm not coming forth as a "hater" type :)

I have enough Nude Nic, VT, and the VT throat hit and Wizard, but can anyone tell me what MFS has. Is it nic select or chemnovac or maybe unknown, how did it compare to all the others. Thanks.
I guess I will have to give them atry and let you and me know what I think. I have 5 litres in deep freeze and didnt want to break any out. I have various litres from different batches over the course of the last few years. Will try some of the newer MFS and give my opinion in the next few days when I get time to look for it. I have five different freezers out in garage with stashes in all of them so might take a little bit.

Unless they've changed again, then according to last they "disclosed" there source, then it was an old undefined source they'd use since 2009 with good results. They used nicselect in a half year or so 2 years back roughly, but changed back to the old source because of variations in nicselect; They stated that even though it always tested very fine by them(purity/impurities), then it varied on smell and color of product from time to time, despite there test-results and hence quiting using them...

I know people happy with MFS. Without trying it myself, I've heard it had more taste/TH. A lot of this depends on how picky you are. Many of the folks here vape unflavored. I think for the many there isn't a lot of difference once flavored.

SLM, it's RTS-vapes, the initials of owner I believe(Randy something)... Don't worry about TH of VT-TH. It has only very slightly more TH reported, and even then, is a medium-low TH nic type by manys standards... Slightly oxidized nic doesn't raise the TH that much(if any imho), but adds slight pepper in nose and taste, but the VT-TH nic isn't very oxidized I believe. Many other vendors sell nic likewise or more oxidized at times i'm sure...

schats, yes, the rubber-smell is typical tell-tale signs of nicselect's previous issue-batches, which MFS used from late 2013 to early 2014...

I have never purchased RTS so no comment here on that. I have purchased both throat hit and premium Vapor tek and on ly difference is throat hit has a slightly tobacco flavor and scent to it, where as premium is very undetectible in my flavored juices. Trust me when nic is unavailable in the future youll be happy with the throat hi. However if you can afford the premium, go for it, either way youll b e glad you did and probably very thankful to this forum for the advice. I know I am, thanks guys.

Thanks for the information guys. I want to get 4L put up and soon. That's probably more than I will ever need?

just me that vapes.
You never know, if one drops and spills or if you meet friends in future that would like to vape. Cheap insurance to carry on. Good luck dont delay.

Are there vendors that offer small samples of Nicselect nicotine?

Email Thomas Schrier at Alchem:

tschrier@alcheminternational.com

A couple of emails later, after you tell him you want to review his brand of nicotine liquid (NicSelect).....he'll send you some. I still have about 45ml of 100mg/ml NicSelect from our conversation and transaction in my freezer. :cool:

Last mfs I have is from August 2014. post rubber fiasco so their normal source.

It's been in the plastic bottle on the shelf 2 years... It hasn't oxidized too much considering, it has a light amber tint. It's smell is still fairly close to original, a little more smell. More of an old school pungent aroma. Maybe a slight old school chemical background note. Th is higher with this one.

I have rts older than the mfs and it's slightly clearer and still good near 3 years with no refrigeration. Not rancid not harsh very similar to the original, just a little more taste maybe. This is no freezer just cupboard.

I do have wizard labs from 2013 off the shelf and it's has a rancid rubber odor that came up at close to a year and haven't touched it.. Pretty old though, what they have now may be different... No idea.

I have not tried my old school Wizard labs or Mfs in along time. I got on the Vapor Tek and have strictly been enjoying that. I think I need to go into the freezers next week and revisit my stash, just really have not had the interest since VT is treating me well and the old stuff was for the Vapocalypse.

What was your opinion of this nic, btw? Curious :) That's nicselect diluted by themselves(well, there pharma-subcontractor), so no chance of screwing something up on vendor side... I get nicselect the same way(well, not from the VP of alchem like you ;) but diluted by themselves too)) and to me it's very clean stuff... It's tripple-purified after distillation so should be clean, but still of course there could be batch-variations...
