Nicotine in Canada

[Loganator]

Where do my fellow Canadians get their nicotine here? Is RTS worth the gamble over the border/customs?

Thanks!

Might be more expensive to buy Canadian, but you avoid the border hassle. Try Canvape or East Coast Vapes.

Thanks for those suggestions! Wow they are 4x the price compared to RTS.. a few questions..

If it does get confiscated by customs, does it get shipped back to the sender? Will I get a refund?

Do flavours have any trouble going through?

Nic through the border is risky. Technically, anything over 4mg is considered an unapproved drug. It might get bounced back - you might have to pay for shipping again if resent.

Gentlemen's Reserve has 1l or 100mg base for about $250 (yep - 5x the lowest price in the states), but it will get to you.

Most other places in Canada only have 50mg as a max concentration.

I think at that price, I would rather take the risk. Will bookmark the link for future reference, Thanks!

Consider that if it does get confiscated by customs, your name will also get flagged in their database for future shipments and anything you order from the US could get pulled in for inspection. There is no question we get raped for most everything that you can buy in the US for half the price, but some things aren't worth messing around with.

There's a sticky on the top of this forum to request a list of Canadian vendors, they will PM it to you. Lots of choices....

What strength liquid do you intend to make? Admittedly I only mix mine at 3mg nic but a 30ml bottle of 100mg nic lasted me 6months, $250 is a big chunk up front but it should last you a good long while.

Just buy in the US, no point wasting money just so "customs doesn't find it" It's a rip off in Canada. Just bough enough to last you 6-12 months and you don't gotta worry about it again until next year. Or plan a trip to the USA and get it shipped to a US mailbox and go over and get it and come back.

Sooo kinda on the same topic here.. Looking for nic in canada and I'm close to checkout on canvape.. The thing is.. I've watched a bunch of diy juice vids and everyone seems to use the 100mg nic which allows them to do up their vg pg and flavors then easily measure their nic like 8ml into a 30ml mix or what ever.. Seems easy peasy but all I can seem to find is the nic available in ratios of 100/0 0/100 50/50 at 48mg... So in my mixed up A.D.D brain I'm trying to figure out how the he'll I'm going to dilute this properly without destroying it lol.. Maybe I need to do a lot more reading I guess..

In the end I basically wana be able to make up batches of 30ml 10 to 12mg 70/30 pg/vg mixes.... FYI my order also consists of 2 120ml bottles of vg and 2 pg

So I guess I want to know if I have the vg pg and 60ml of 50/50 nic 48mg (only size and they have in stock is 30ml bottles max2 per order...) is there some kinda calculator that will help me with the rest? If not I fear these numbers will rattle around my brain until they have lost all meaning.

Thank you! That's perfect! One thing I don't get is what is the 25 drops per ml part? I'm guessing I can ignore the drops and just measure... I'd like to be exact and drops seem a Lil iffy as different bottles should produce different size drops I'd think..

Edit.. Nevermind I see now it's there for sharing recipes and putting your own drops per ml

 

[Towmotor]

yup, drops may or may not be exact....but its tedious. Some of my mixes would be 150+ drops for just one flavour. No thank you, lol.

Yea.... Lol I put a few 5ml syringes (largest capacity they have) on the order so I won't have to worry to much about getting accurate drops haha sounds very tedious as you said

Thanks again for the help btw! I feel a Lil dumb how easy that calculator made things.. But very glad I asked as I've lost my hesitation for diy

No problem, I had the same experience when someone sent me that link.
