Can anyone recommend a vendor for good quality DIY ingredients and gear in the UK?
Cheapest high-quality-on-paper nic from UK: vapers-emporium and everything-liquid; Nicselect also diluted by Alchem's pharma-subcontractor and vapers-emporium have coas also for the diluted product, with batch-numbers on the bottles to compare against the specific coa online to e.g. see exact mg nic etc in bottle...
( Most neutral nic available in EU, is imho chemnovatic, which can be gotten up to 100mg at pink-mule.com, which is a very good and trustworthy vendor. Not UK I know, but nonetheless )
VG/PG in UK, cheapest in bulk: windsor & astor, lubrisolve and classikool.
Amber glass bottles with polycone lids in UK: Naturallythinking, e-essentials and ampulla.
Sorry, don't know much about flavorings(outside inawera distributers and molinberry/molinshop from poland), or syringes, beakers etc. as I exclusively vape unflavored and measures by weight.
DoubleEwe, I too prefer chemnovatic nic Also, I didn't knew about vapesque, thanks! I always "stockpile" EU vendors for cheap/quality products... I wish they had 100mg though, like pink-mule, but of course understandable as an UK vendor following there posion-act of max 74mg nic without license... However, the thing that appeals me with vapesque, is that it's straight from the manufacturer, no middleman; I like that. Of course molinshop has this too, but max 36mg isn't much imho...
Anway, the nic I had from vapers emporium was fine. I have talked with the owner, and they don't do anything with the nic, other than redistributing the big 50L pre-diluted 72mg batches into smaller bottles and label them with batch-numbers and date etc. The nic is straight from alchem's nicselect brand, which is very pure on paper, so I guess you where unlucky, although chemnovatic also to me tastes better. Although, if only nic to me tastes like biscuits, then I would be happy, as I don't like the taste in higher than 3mg (Unflavored vaper here)
Btw, all nic smells like fish(especially when warm) and that only gets worse over time due to oxidation, as else it's simply not nic... Many nics, don't show much fish in the beginning, because other fragrances overpowers that, like the alkaline chemical, and/or nutty wooden damp tobacco notes...
I've been using Vapable - Incredible Value E Cigs, E Liquid and Accessories for flavors. They have a pretty good range and UK delivery is free for orders over £10.
When I'm feeling lazy I sometimes order from Vape Flavour Concentrates & Mixing Liquids | Just Vape 247 They have some good pre mixed flavors from Mt Baker and Mom & Pops amongst others.
