I'm a non-flavored juice buff so I'm very picky about the taste of my nicotine. I love the Xtreme vaping VG base and keep a one year supply of 25 mg VG base I made from their 100 mg VG base.

No, I don't. I'll send them an e-mail tonight and ask.

Email sent to XTR.

There's some great information there guys, thanks. I particularly like that one site even details which state the tobacco is grown in then goes on to where it's processed. Knowing that I'm supporting a US company and having the information regarding the origin of my nic juice is very important.
I have read the doomsvape thread so may have to purchase fast as I've also noticed the limited stocks lol!

 

[JUDGMENT AFFIRMED]

All of RTS Vapes' nicotine liquid originates from flue-cured tobacco grown in North Carolina. For your information, North Carolina produces more flue-cured tobacco than any other state in the United States. With our unemployment rate near 10% in North Carolina we decided to try a United States solution to inconsistent Chinese nicotine liquid.



The tobacco leafs are handpicked by North Carolinians. The tobacco leaves are delivered to a North Carolina Pennsylvania laboratory for nicotine extraction. We are proud to state all of our tests have shown from 99.92% to 99.96% pure nicotine.



Our pure nicotine liquid is then reduced by North Carolinians to less potent strengths using Propylene Glycol USP Grade Kosher Certified or Vegetable Glycerin USP Grade Kosher Certified.



When you buy flavorless nicotine liquid from RTS Vapes, a Division of RTS Leasing, LLC, you are buying a product USA made




I like too.

I got a reply from Levy Roberts of Xtreme Vaping a few minutes ago. That was fast!

Levy says the XV nicotine is sourced from China and that he has never claimed otherwise. He attributes the quality of his nicotine to his supplier. Levy further explained that there are many nicotine producers and factories in China and that the quality differs greatly between manufacturers.

Hope this explains things and thanks to Levy for the fast reply.

As for me, Ill try a small sample bottle of RTS sometime soon to check out the taste although I have no plans to switch from Xtreme Vaping at this time. I couldn't be happier with their VG nicotine base.

Thanks yzer

Quick update, I have ordered nic and vg from rtsvapes so should be here any day now. I generally go down the same route as you yzer and get vg from the pharmacy but I'm particularly lazy at the minute lol. Flavours I sourced from HDV just to get the old favourites back in stock before trying some others. Hello again Capella.......it's been a long time lol. Update later and give you my opinions but, for now, thanks again guys (and gals).

 

[philderbeest]

As promised here's my findings from RTS, WL and HDV-
All good, fantastic service, quick delivery and great prices. I have to mention the nic juice from RTS; I obviously don't have a lab to analyse it but on a taste test extremely impressed and seems pure. Some nic I used to find had a tendency to darken fairly quickly especially when exposed but this isn't.
Thanks again everybody who contributed. You've saved me a lot of hassle trying to find the better vendors

 

[Keithhe]

Wow!! As a new to DIY person I have had a difficult time trying to figure out the "best" vendors for the base materials. PG base, VG base and I need a nic vendor. Lot's of those answers here.

A few questions though.......

Someone back a few pages noted a thread on unflavored nic comparisons somewhere and I can't find it? I don't want peppery, or other nasty tastes so trying to find that thread?

Really, like the OP, and welcome to the US by the way, I need a good supplier for VG and PG base and nic base probably high test to break down to more manageable levels.

Thanks Hoosiers !!

For the Glycerine USP (VG) that I use... I just buy that from the local CVS store. It's made by Humco and is the real deal. I get two 6 oz bottles for $10. Because this product still has the seal on the bottle it is actually USP and has a batch number and expiration date of 2017 printed on the label.

12 oz is 354 ml.

CVS Pure Glycerin USP - CVS pharmacy

No shipping charge. I can ride a bike to CVS.

This was a good lead. I went by CVS today and they had this on sale for "Buy 1 and get second for 1/2 price" I bought 4 and cost $3.93 each. Usually $5.25 each.
