It depends; I get my PG and VG from amazon, "Nature's Oil," so if I had that amazon prime, I'd save money, but I don't, currently; however just the regular shipping rates on those liquids can be quite high in some places, because the liquids are so heavy; at least Amazon's shipping rates are reasonable. I get my nic from VapersTek, but as I said, it's so cheap at $10 for 120ml, the $6 shipping doesn't bother me, it's 15.99 at wizlabs, before shipping. And I want all the throat hit I can get, so buying the cheap TH nicotine suits me well.

I try to always get at least 4 or 5 flavors per flavor order, because of the shipping costs; it's not really worth it to buy just one or two.

I have NO idea why I didn't think to get my PG and VG from Amazon. I do have Prime and I buy EVERYTHING on Amazon!! I do surveys and test products as a hobby and I always have them pay me in Amazon gift cards when possible so it makes total sense for me to get it from them. Duh. It sounds like straight nicotine is not very expensive, so that leaves me a lot more $ to experiment with flavors! There is this one from VapingZone called Cream Charlotte that I was curious about so I bought a bottle. O.M.G. Pure vape {MODERATED}. I could just hold the bottle under my nose and sniff it all day. It smells amazing and it is an awesome creamy, flavorful juice. I mix it with different fruits (raspberry, peach, raspberry AND peach...) to make the most delectable dessert vapes. Yerm. I actually call the raspberry/peach one "Mine," LOL! It is super strong so a little bit (of the Cream Charlotte) goes a very long way. I love that you can get VZ flavors in VG and not in alcohol. I hate waiting for the alcohol to evaporate before I can vape.

OMG it's a frawg! I gotta have one!

Yes, @NancyB ....I will bring The Beast to visit!

If you decide to get one (RV) and take the dogs, some units are easier to step over a laid out dog than others - HAHA
We took two goldens out with us in our 1st 28' 5th wheel and they took up the whole living room area laid out, hmmm that's not going to work! and the couch wasn't big enough for the two of us, let alone one plus 2 dogs! there's a lot of figuring out stuff as to what to take and what not - or what can be multi-functional/used in more than one way or task, that becomes important - it's a challenge to be content with a few things and make due elsewhere!

We've learned that trying to sell to other RVers is not much of a money making idea (goal to have). We tend to like to do crafts for the fun of it and to waste time, gathering to learn a new craft from another and getting to know each other better, etc.
It's the city folks with good paying jobs that have their pockets full and spend freely.... most RVers are retired and living on a fixed income, and like to save $ so they can buy more diesel/gas to get to their next place of interest (grin). for the most part. There is an occasional BIG RIG that'll come on by (to impress) but they're normally visiting family nearby for a wedding or funeral or some such - a have to do thing... the fun ones are those on a budget with real creative minds and lots of energy - gaining pleasure from the simple things in life, definitely not out to impress anyone but full of the joy of finally having time to play themselves.

I belong to a site that lists all upcoming craft fairs/festivals/shows...if we planned it right, we could do the circuit and find a cool place to hang out in between. Can't tell I've thought about this, can you?

I found nicotine to be pricy'er than the PG or VG, but the G's are about $4 for a tall bottle and perhaps around $10-15 for nic.
Nic lasts a lot longer cuz you use less - We figure living as we do that shipping is a small price to pay for enjoying the rest of the way we live (on the road). tis nice to not have to look for the best prices, and then for the free shipping on top of them.

I am also a huge believer in bartering. I was able to get a battery for the mini buy bartering some crocheted juice bags my wife makes to a salesman at the vape store I frequent

We home school our 10 yr old because the schools out here are horrible. He's gonna be in the 7th grade

Wow! 10 years old and int he 7th grade is great! I wish I had been able to do online school with my daughter (now 26). She would have greatly benefited from it. I did put my oldest son in that curriculum for a year and he hated it but he was able to pull himself together and graduate at 17 from a traditional high school. He is extremely smart (way too much so for his own good!!) and just wasn't taking school seriously. My youngest son graduated from an online curriculum last year and it was the best thing I could have done for him. He went from failing 9th grade to graduating with honors! I loved the fact that I was able to insert myself into every aspect of his schooling and monitor all of his progress in real time (micromanage? You betcha!!!). He has ADHD and just could not focus in a classroom. I love that there are options now. Traditional schools are severely lacking in many areas (ours included) and not all kids learn at the same rate. I do believe that if I had not had to work full time my kids' entire childhoods I would have homeschooled all of them.

Since I have to use such high PG, I just use the regular PG flavors; sometimes I've smelled a slight alcohol scent from some flavors, but not too often, and it airs out pretty quickly. Much better alcohol than that perfume sort of taste!

I've got a couple of 5ml test bottles steeping right now, 2 diff flavors of cherry, for this sweet cherry pipe tobacco flavor I'm trying to get to; gave 'em a sniff last night, and gawd, they smell yummy, more like dessert than any tobacco I've ever smelled! But I think that's why they need steeping, so the tobacco flavors can really develop. I used 2 diff ones, mixed; some Inawera Vanilla for Pipe, and also Inawera TDM Deluxe, more tobacco-y, but sweetly, with some honey, chocolate, and vanilla notes. I'm really hopeful I might finally have gotten to something I'll really enjoy, but I'll give it a few more days, let the tobaccos really develop.

The more I look at the cradle finish, the more I love it! Did you get it that way, or did your creative self come up with that?
