    Like I just ordered some (cnt pg 100mg 250ml. from liquid barn) but it's not enough. I need to place another order to somewheres. I've heard people say liquid barn & nude nic they are the main 2.

    I've also heard of nicriver or river supply company. I no they used to be great but there are some people who are like no way. People have gotten oxidized nicotine from them I guess due to the Heat. But yet there are others who have messaged me saying that they order from them all the time and there is nothing wrong with their nicotine it all that it is clear does not leave a peppery tased that it is high quality. I was just reading your all's conversation and actually wanted to ask your opinion from outside of the group of people I have been talking with. Because if I can get double the nic. For half the price that would be great. There vg is also way cheaper than anywhere I've looked. I think it is 11 bucks a gallon. What i paid for in nic. From liquid barn (250 ml) I could have gotten 500 ml from from river supply co. I just want to get some good nic. That is going to stay good as long as i put it in the freezer in individual glass bottles. Sorry for the long message I just ordered my stuff start doing DIY. So was it the pg or vg that was bad. The way some people was talking they act like this has been going on for Thanks

    So do you prefer vg base over pg? I hear people going back and forth and I'm new. I was just wondering. I just bought some nic from liquid barn CNT 100 mg pg base of 250ml. I need to buy attest 500 ml more and trying to figure out to get vg or pg and where to get it from. I thought about river supply co there stuff if half the cost of other places and always heard good stuff about them. Untill the other day seems like a few people got ahold of some oxidized nicotine. The way people made it sound was like this is something that has been going on for quite a while off and on. But now I'm reading on a different form and it sounds like they just had a issue that happened around the same time and people got bad nicotine. I just want some good nicotine that does not have a peppery taste that will stay very clear and does not smell bad and will not change the taste of my juice that I'm trying to make. Thank you very much

    Most of my 9.5 liters of nic is from Heartland. I've always gotten good nic from them so like others have mentioned, I'd recommend Heartland vapes.

    The Unico pod contest win arrived and so far, I am not impressed. If you don't lock your settings each time you pop the pod out, it automatically reverts to 35W. I got a burnt hit, of course, even though i knew about locking it.

    Welcome to the forums and glad you joined us. I was a huge River Supply customer but have recently switched to Heartland for my nicotine. It's true, many have encountered oxidized nicotine from River Supply, so it may be best to avoid ordering from them. The price point for regular nicotine is a tad better at Heartland too. As far as whether to order pg or vg based nic, it's really about personal preference. I prefer pg based myself, but there's nothing wrong with opting for vg based nicotine.

    You may want to get some glass bottles to store your nicotine long term in the freezer. Heartland has those available too.
    Thank you. And thanks for the info and suggestions. I didn't mean to put this post to her. Somehow I did.
    I meant to post it where they was talking about river supply co. And here lately some people have gotten bad nic. From them.

    See I don't have years to experiment with this place and that place. Like allot of people have had the opportunity of doing so.
    So I just want to get the best nic. I can get. That won't have a Peppery like taste that isn't harsh, that is odorless and tasteless like I've heard a lot of people mention about a few companies. I don't know if you read the other message but there is a few people that who have taken to me to try to help. But that doesn't mean that those are the only people that I need to listen to or that I need to stick with just them. I'm just starting out and everyone has a different opinion and like I was saying unfortunately I don't have the opportunity of having the time getting to try a bunch of different companies .to see what I really like myself. So I'm having to go with other people's suggestions and recommendations. Actually I also saw what people were talking about PG vs VG Nic and what will oxidized the fastest. That is actually what I stopped to read. thank you for telling me where to get the bottles for the nicotine to store in the freezer I appreciate it. Some recommend storing it in 125 ml bottles others have recommended bigger bottles others have recommended smaller so knowing who to actually listen to is a little complicated it's like you ask a bunch of people and pick the top three and then try to weigh out the options. And it's funny the pic. I keep seeing about river supply co. It is the exact same pic everywhere. That's The main reason i was like hum... there nic. Is bad but everyone had the same picture lol. I've had 2 other people show me the exact same pic. So thank you for clarifying that they have had a ongoing problem with their nicotine . Others have made it sound like it was just a bad batch or not even that the bottom of the barrel that people may have gotten. There was a few that had been persistent about their nicotine being bad to go with someone else . thank you again and I will check into Heartland.

    This is the reason I will not recommend River Supply! First photo is original order second photo is the replacement. If you need insect repellent go ahead :) They are slow at shipping as well. Fedex

    That's sweet of you! It's a want and I'm sure I can wait. I still have flavorings I bought at the beginning of the year I haven't cracked open yet! I'm struggling to mix my simple mixes. :) Thank you for the offer! Which ones do you like the most?
    Hah! Well, I haven’t tried them yet lol. I think I have 6-7. I’ll measure out enough of each for you to make a tester bottle. PM me and we’ll work it out. Mail service is canceled through Thursday (could change). Maybe end of the week?

    If I only needed to buy 500ml for stocking, and wanted to get the best I could get, I would just get the Nude Nicotine.
    It is more expensive but has always been water clear for me.
    This you could just put in the freezer, no rebottling:
    Nude Armor v1 -100mg/mL4x125ML / 70% PG/30% VG
    I've not found any difference with VG or PG after 6 years in the freezer, but prefer working with PG.
    They do take longer to ship though. JMO...

    There’s a first time purchase discount, that I can’t recall. Hopefully someone will chime in. It’s only good once, and only on your initial purchase. Very good nic.

    Diamond art painting is a cross between crosstiching and beading. You have a preprinted canvases that looks like a cross stitch pattern that is covered with a layer of glue. You add diamond shaped colored beads called drills to the pattern to for a picture.View attachment 907329
    Looks nice.

    Another Heartland fan, @Krazys karma , never gotten "bad" nic from them, and just use their "house" nic. Generally very competitive on price, and usually VERY fast shipping.

    I mix PG heavy, so get my nic in PG. If you're on the other end of the spectrum, i.e. VG heavy, it would make sense to get it in VG.

    Keep in mind that PG and VG will NOT be going away, they have many non-vape uses. Nic, while not going away any time soon, MAY be subject to regulation or onerous taxation, so good to stock that up. Now. :)

    Thanks I've heard quite a few people mention them as well. I believe it's there page I went to and had a hard time understanding it. I may be mistaken tho. When I get off here I'll go check out a few sights that have been mentioned. I've been to do many I can't keep up. Thank you

    I recommend you get your nic first as soon as possible. PG, VG and flavoring can wait. I personally get my nic in PG, for one thing, it's much easier to pour. For another thing, I vape high PG because VG is sweeter and I don't like my vapes sweet.
