Over a year ago, I used vaping to get off of smoking and stayed off of cigarrettes for 8 months, then I stupidly convinced myself when I was out drinking, that I could just smoke 1.

Long story short, 6 months later and I'm still dual using.

I think I identified my problem with quitting this time. When I quit the first time, I was mostly using drippers, and with them, 6mg juice was perfect, but in the intervening time, i have rapidly developed age related presbyopia, and now rebuilding, even with premade coils and a magnifying lamp is a huge PITA.

So, my 2 favorite juices (ADVs) are produced locally, and only available in 0, 3 and 6mg.
It isn't strong enough in a tank. I want to get concentrated nicotine in VG only that I can add to my favorite juices, so I can get the level of nicotine I'm craving without diluting the juice flavor too much. (Yes i know it will change it to more peppery, but based on getting 10 mls of a WTA nicotine and adding it, it actually improves the flavor)

So my question or
tldr:
What is the best highly concentrated nicotine (100mg or >) that I can get for the best price, and where (from which site)?

I am currently awaiting my DIY supplies, but I've done extensive research. While not being able to yet personally back this up, from everywhere I've read the top vendor is Nude Nicotine, which is why I bought from them. Their prices are a bit higher, and their shipping is pretty well.. ridiculous, but if you spent $100 the shipping is free. Everywhere I've read from every person who has tried it, has said that their nic base is the most flavorless and pure. Shoot me a message if you're interested in my thoughts, as I'll be trying the diluted nic base in VG / PG unflavored to get a taste for the ingredients so when next I order from somewhere I have a point of comparison :)

The second place I am going to order from when I need to, will be Wizard Labs. I chose Nude Nic for my first purchase as many people say that Wizard Labs' nic base has a peppery taste in higher diluted concentrations. 12mg/ml + is when it starts showing itself if I remember correctly.

@The Cloud Minder - I've personally bought & used Nic Base from both WL and from MFS. The WL Nic Base was definitely smoother and not harsh at all, no matter whether I was making a creamy liquid, a straight fruity one, etc. The MFS Nic Base wasn't as smooth and was actually alittle peppery. I would recommend it more for use in tobacco liquids and similar ones.

Have no personal experience with NN yet, but I did just order a 15mL sample vial of their 100mg Nic Base in VG earlier this afternoon. Only cost for it was the $2.75 shipping fee. There's a limit of 1 sample ordered per household, and you can't be ordering other Nic Bases when you order the sample of it. You might want to order 1 of those to see for yourself as well!

Thanks for the reponses, I thought all nicotine imparted a peppery taste, so it's interesting to find out that's not the case. Unfortunately, this new info actually makes my decision harder. Since I won't be using it for a true DIY juice, just adding it to an existing juice, and I kind of enjoyed the peppery taste imparted by the flavorless WTA nicotine I had added once, I'm now more unsure which way I want to go.

:confused:

Hi mate,
Have a peek (LOL) here: Nicotine Comparisons

VT or NN are my personal suggestions.

Cheers

If a peppery taste is what your after and you enjoy tobacco type vapes than MFS is the way you want to go. If you vape other then tobacco or a combo of both tobacco and desert type vapes then go with WL as that would be a good all round choice. If you want the least peppery taste go with NN or VT. Look at it this way.

MFS = Higher peppery taste
WL or RTS = medium peppery taste
NN or VT = Lower peppery taste

My experience exactly, regarding MFS, RTS, Wizardlabs and NudeNic!
I continue to buy usually from NudeNic, with Wizard as my backup...
(Never got around to trying VapersTek)

Wow, special thanks here for the link to that, who needs a new book with 185 pages to read thru. :)

:) it's funny how 185 pages can be summed up as follows

MFS = Higher peppery taste
WL or RTS = medium peppery taste
NN or VT = Lower peppery taste

Can you elucidate the alphabet soup?
I get WL is Wizard Labs, and NN I think was the Nude Nicotine or something like that, but the others? Lost me.

MFS = Electronic Cigarettes | E-Liquids , WL = Wizard Labs , RTS = DIY E-Cig Supplies & E-Cigarette Liquid | Make Your Own E-Liquid | RTS Vapes , NN = Nude Nicotine - Chemically Validated and Artfully Concocted Electronic Cigarette Liquid ,VT = Vapers Tek , hope this helps.;) VT's Throat Hit nicotine I use unflavored IMHO it tastes like a very very mild tobacco - most will say it is not very peppery. :p It is to me a very reasonably priced nicotine. :thumbs:


AWESOME! :rickroll:DANKE SCHOEN!

So you say your juice is locally made? Well just contact them and ask them to make you some higher nic. It should be no big deal for them. Offer to buy a big bottle like 120ml and they will probably even cut you a little deal.

Otherwise, what Danny said.

The guy who makes it is effectively a recluse from what I'm told. There is nothing I've been able to find about him, no website, he deals directly with several B&M's. From what I gather, it started as a hobby, and then some friends of his tried it, and it kinda exploded on him. But it is probably one of the most in demand juices in the Pittsburgh area.

The original was Zuro's Milk, which is a creamy custard with a fresh strawberry taste that absolutely blows Suicide Bunny's out of the water. Then He came up with Zuro's Cereal, which is so much like Fruit Loops, I often want to try to chew my vapor. But his best is Zuro's Private Stock, which is much like Zuro's Milk without the strawberry, and is even creamier and richer. Finally he makes a spiced pumpkin juice seasonally.
