I am also nicotine shopping. i think i am going to try Heartland vapes, maybe a liter of their ultra premium and a liter of regular.It seems a lot at double the price for premium but i am curious.

Why not buy a small bottle to try before buying a full liter?

You can get a 120mL bottle of each to try, but that's the smallest size they have. Regular is $10.99 and Ultra Premium is $13.49...plus S/H.

Maybe someone (or 2 someone's) on here...would be willing to send you just a 10mL or so sample of them. When my order comes in hopefully sometime next week with more of the Regular...I'd send a sample of it to you. (Rest of my stash of HV nic base is frozen in 8oz. bottles, so I'd rather not open 1 of them to just get 10mL out.) I'm using the last 130mL or so of some RTS right now, as my "working" nic base.

I thought about getting a sample but by the time you add shipping it would be over a quarter of the price of a liter as the liters would come with free shipping. It will be a couple of weeks before i order so my mind might change yet. I am only vaping quite high strength unflavored at the moment so want a good clean product.

Back when I was buying/stockpiling Heartland would run periodic sales offering their 100mg nic for $35 a liter. That's been a couple of years ago, I don't know if they still do. They also ran their gallons on sale which was an even better deal for those looking to stockpile for the "long haul". Buying gallon containers it seems like I paid around $30 a liter plus received free shipping. I dispensed the nic into small glass bottles before placing it into cold storage so gallon sized jugs weren't an issue.

Thanks for that,i have never used them before. I think i will wait for Easter and see if they offer anything.If not i will take the plunge anyway.

Have a look see and do a little searching through this thread...it's a large thread dedicated to members impressions on nic base.


Edit: I just put Heartland into the search box there, and selected search this thread only, and many pages of hits...

I had forgotten about this thread when I ordered a liter of 100mg/ml nic from EcigEpress for $49.99 minus my loyalty points. The $15 UPS shipping was a bummer, but it's on the way. Reviews say it's anywhere from water clear to a slight pale yellowish tint and the reviews are good. We'll see how it looks when it gets here.

My never frozen two year old nic has turned a dark honey brown color and is starting to impart a slight taste and bite to my juices. Time for some new nic. This will be bottled in glass and frozen as soon as it arrives.

Recently I got four of the 120 ml bottles of Vapers Tek nic. They have changed the bottles to a blue color now, it's plastic, but I figure that in the freezer getting used first there's little worry as this is about a two year volume. For 45$ that's pretty convinient and reasonable for my needs.

If I have not mentioned it, I am DONE stocking up. I have secured enough nic for my needs, it's nicely stashed, now if I can make it to 100 (oh my God, here's hoping not. Fortunately that outcome is unlikely. LOL) I should be able to use up all my nic. Maybe. But, if I'm estimating, well, why not estimate high.

My last four liters were Heartland's nic, but I'm fine with how it looked/tasted, and I'm just thrilled to be DONE. I'm sure I'll still buy stuff, from time to time, but from a slightly different perspective, I believe. Etc.

I need some fresh nic, Started mixing for friends and my supply is dwindling now.. Regulation is likely to be in place in Canada this fall sometime so some time before then I need a couple liters.. Hopefully a sale happens nic isn't cheap in Canada, looking at 130$ ish with taxes and shipping for 1L..

Wow, can't "Like" that situation, $130 and then a ban. But the children are better for it, I suppose.

I think it's time to re-calculate how much nic I use.

The only time I ever calculated was years ago when I happened to have just made a 30 ml bottle the day I went to visit my brother. I decided to use only that bottle until it was gone. At that time, I was using 3 mg/day of 18 mg/ml.

But, I was dripping on a 306 back in those days!

I'm sure I use at least twice that much e-liquid per day now. However, it's only 12 mg/ml now.

What I have stocked at this point (by later today) would have been enough for 30 years. But, now? Maybe 22 years? Plus, I make my sister's e-liquid too now.

True, I'll be lucky to live more than 15 years. But, I'ld rather bet on living longer!

So, I'm going to set aside a batch of 30 ml, and on a day when my atties are all pretty much empty all at once start using that 30 ml until it's used up to see how far it goes now.

    I think my nic will go bad before I even get to half of my supply lol.

    It doesn't "go bad" as in spoiling, but it will oxidize. IMO, it depends on when, how, and where you stored it. I'm counting on mine being fine longterm...since it's in the deep freezer in amber glass bottles with the polycone lined caps.
