I'm not completely clear about the differences on nic solution. The prices can vary dramatically. I just question how much better the expensive stuff is (if at all). Yes, they packaging it different and some use argon and this, that, and the other thing. But to justify paying a ton more for that is something I'm struggling to accept.

Just bringing cartons and drop in coils and I have those packed also.Plus another Minifit and a couple extra pods.Chargers and cords packed. I’ll go through this stuff once or twice more before we actually leave.

    Me too. But there are a lot of people here and I go by their recommendations. My worst fear is I won’t like NN or NR. I know I like WL.

    Talking with Drew at BCF, he felt taste was the biggest factor with nic selection (the more tasteless the better). I mentioned a number of brands including Nude and NR Pur and he seemed to think those were perfectly fine. He's tried a lot of different ones. Unfortunately, the only one he really curled his lip over was Wiz labs. :(

    I suspect we'd get used to just about anything, regardless.

    No, but I spoke with the owner of Bull City Flavors a few days back and he highly recommended Chemnovatic. He once sold nic solution (until NC imposed a nickle/ml tax) so he has credibility on the subject.

    I really like Chemnovatic nicotine myself. It is the only brand I have used for the last year and some months that I have been in Washington State. I have a liter of MFS Nicotine in my freezer at home but want to get another two liters and prefer the Chemnovatic brand. I would buy Carolina Xtracts but that is definitely too rich for my blood price-wise. :D I think I will order from NicRiver and take a savings of $70 over Vapers Tek's price.

    Thanks for your input from a nic expert!

    What makes you say Chemnovatic is better?

    I bought a sample size of Carolina Xtracts. Came in a nicely labeled boston amber with nice dripper cap. Nice and clean product. supposedly among the best nic to be had (according to several people I've talked with including Drew). BUT, they are very expensive!! Like 2-1/2 times more than everyone else.

    They are already sold out of 100mg in liters. Too bad because that is a great price. I bought the Chemnovatic from NR. It more expensive but at least I got what I wanted. :)

    Well, I've certainly been going nuts with Gremlin's sales this past month. I have this stupid paranoia that it's going to be harder to get even flavors in future and so have been doing a little stockpiling.
    I just started buying flavors. But flavors are the fun part! :drool:

    I need my gd to mail a small priority box in Dec as it’s a Christmas gift for a friend. The way postal costs are rising I’ll just give her $15 to be safe.

    Inflation has been under 4% for several years. Maybe the post office just wanted an across the board raise!
