Ok so in comparing prices between the PA website and OSDIY it seems like the prices are HIGHER on the PA site. You would think that PA would be able to sell their own stuff cheaper than a middle man. Now I'm concerned that the stuff I have been getting from OSDIY has been cut. Has anyone had both?

Yes and they are the same. PA uses glass vials though and that could be the difference.
 
I recently got orders from TFA direct, TFA flavors through 1stopDIYshop, and ecigexpress.... different things are better deals different places. I didn't get any same flavors to compare to be able to make accusations of cutting.

1stop probably just buys larger amounts from TFA and resells. That is how they have a better deal (6ml vs 4ml) on samples for about the same money. The only issue with this is that TFA sometimes responds to requests for stronger flavors, so what you get from a reseller may be outdated. On 1stop's forum here there was a request for larger sizes sold but they said no due to "not enough demand". Probably more like they can't maintain their margin offering deals on larger sizes.
 
Would help if you say what you are planning on ordering exactly. IIRC, ecigexpress was a better deal ml/$ on VG than TFA direct, then TFA direct is better on PG. TFA direct is better for bottles. Unless you really want samples or sizes over 4 oz (120ml), ecig express has the best deal on 30ml of TFA flavors, then no store has as much of a selection than TFA direct.
 
What is TFA direct?

Direct from The Flavor Apprentice store.

ecigexpress for flavors...

xtremevaping for nicotine, PG & VG

I forget if xtremevaping was the place that had a 50% off sale on nic juice recently. Without it their prices are not competitive.... sorry. I didn't 100% analyze it, but I have a spreadsheet comparing these and it really isn't a good deal for nic/PG/VG compared to other places. Some maybe, but not the best for sure.

their nic juice is primo though. I ordered from my freedom smokes, and the nic had a very peppery taste and a yellow tint. THe stuff from xtremevaping had neither. Same nic level. Was much happier with the nic I got from xtremevaping.
