I'm fairly new to DIY too, but I've ordered from Wizard Labs and Nude Nicotine. I haven't tried the Nude Nicotine yet, but the ordering and shipping was great (and Wizard Labs was out of stock for a while). Other popular vendors I've seen here are RTS Vapes, MyFreedomSmokes, NicVape, ecigexpress and Vapingzone.

I hope other, more experienced folks will chime in as well. Best of luck on your DIY journey!

I've only tried a few but the most highly regarded around here is Wizard Labs, and I've seen why. Their packaging is unrivaled, prices are excellent, and their reputation is just about the best. Due to their high demand, they are often out of stock on the most popular (100mg/ml) nic base.

I also got a little from Mt. Baker Vapor and have no complaints.

Other reputable vendors are RTS Vapes, and My Freedom Smokes.

Best price I've found is Heartland Vapes, but their reputation is nearly non-existent, I'm assuming they are new. Their minimum order is 1000ml though. However, I'm itching to try them...

I have RTS and MFS in the freezer and have mixed both. Put a blindfold on me and I can't tell the difference. I really want some wizard labs but there is no way I can babysit to order. Maybe once they get up to full production and it's available for more than a couple hours at a time. I'm sure nude is top notch too from what I've read.

Any of the recommended in this thread are most likely excellent choices and you can't go wrong with any of them.

My Freedom Smokes is my preferred distributor when it comes to Nicotine. Every Nicotine test I have done on them is spot on every time.
Not only that but the shipping is insanely fast. They are in NC and I am in SoCal. Normally its on my doorstep 2 days later every time. Just for that simple fact I will never use anyone else.

Yes, even I, a newbie, have ordered from myfreedomsmokes and have been very satisfied with their products and shipping. I think I'll give them a try for the nic. Thanks for the input.

Myfreedomsmokes are a bit on the expensive side but you can beat there selection of hardware and mixing supplys such as bottles, syringes and such.

Been vaping for a few weeks and am ready to DIY my own liquids. However, I would like some recommendations as to what vendor or vendors I should use to buy unflavored nicotine. Your help is appreciated.

I just ordered 1 liter from RTS, because they have a 20% off coupon. Code is FIRSTORDER. I use to get smaller bottles from My freedom smokes when I was just learning, but might as well take the plunge into bigger quantities :) Ordered a gallon of Propylene glycol today too. Should be set for a bit. hahaha seems never with this new hobby

Well dang I didn't know RTS doesn't ship their nicotine in glass bottles :( I got 1000ML of 60mg nic that I'm gonna have to store in glass now. MFS had it for the same price too. I really hope the plastic doesn't affect the taste. I will transfer to glass as soon as I receive. Lesson learned.

wow.. just wow.. thats a bunch of nicotine!!
I get the better part of 6 months out of 120 ML..
1000 ML would be 4 years +/- for me..

I estimate that I use about 5mls of ejuice daily around 16mg total. I just like to be stocked when I know it's something I'm going to use, and I actually saved about $70 bucks instead of reordering 125ml bottles I went to the 1000. Not to mention I give bottles of juice to family, friends, that I'm trying to convert. I've given all my old starter batteries away, evods, juice. No biggie to me I'd love to see them all give up those nasty analogs.

+1,000,000 for Nude Nicotine!

We've sampled VG-nic from 3 different vendors - and after trying Nude Nic, we will NEVER buy our nic anywhere else. It's virtually odorless & tasteless (meaning we can use less flavor chemicals to achieve the same 'taste' in our juices), and everything about their customer care & shipping is stellar. (We just placed a *major* order for flavors & nic - we seriously splurged on the flavors after finally getting around to testing the first three we'd ordered :))

THE most important thing is their open/full disclosure and purity. There's no excuse for a vendor not making all test results publicly available. And I'm not talking one or two tests per year - every batch should be properly tested and the test results made public to buyers! This is a very 'serious' chemical...and it is extracted out-of-country (then imported, mixed/sold by vendors in the USA). http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/462593-us-made-nicotine-base.html.

Haven't we all learned from the cigarette industry what happens if 'we the people' don't insist on 'chemically pure' AND full disclosure? If we don't start regulating ourselves, we can be assured someone else will. :(

Bottom line - we should all want and require (at the very minimum) the purest nicotine available - with legitimate evidence of the same. Nude Nicotine is the only vendor we know of that publishes up-to-date proof of their purity...and we're thrilled to have found them!

From here: https://nudenicotine.com/?page_id=11



Founded in early 2012, Nude Nicotine is an electronic eLiquid manufacturer that prides ourselves in the purity and validated contents of our nicotine liquid. Unlike any nicotine liquid manufacturer on the market, we publish chemical data on our eLiquid for the public to see. We run each lot of nicotine through HPLC or LCMS (laboratory techniques to analyze an unknown for chemical content) to ensure only the desired chemical ingredients are present, no unwanted contaminants or degradation products. No diacetlys, no beta-carbolines, no nitrosamines, never. We believe all “vapers” deserve the same validated chemistry and purity in an eLiquid that rivals the quality control specifications of an FDA-approved Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) solution. View our certificate of analysis here. In addition, we never dilute our eliquids with water – Nude Nicotine eliquids are truly nude as they should be – only containing propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), (nicotine), and flavoring. No hidden ingredients.

Our nicotine base is obtained from biochemists whose products are analytically tested for content, contaminants, and overall chemical profile, while each and every other ingredient is carefully selected from US Pharmacopeia (USP) verified sources, and is subsequently tested for purity by HPLC or LCMS. In addition, each batch of Nude Nicotine eLiquid is chemically tested for nicotine content and published on our label. And we stand by these results. Guaranteed.

And the hard work pays off. Unlike other eLiquids that leave unwanted residue, appear murky, or contain unpublished ingredients, Nude Nicotine eLiquid appears pure every time, tastes true to its flavor, and comes with none of the uncertainties of an unvalidated product, guaranteed. Our eLiquids are also hand prepared in beautiful Southern California by proven biotechnologists to our exact recipe, using specialized laboratory equipment and proper technique.

We even work closely with industry-leading local flavor chemists to produce the most unique and delectable flavorings available on the market. Not only are our flavor chemicals hand-selected for purity and solubility, we pride ourselves in the careful formulation of only the best tobacco, fruit, and menthol extracts. And each one is specifically formulated for use in an electronic cigarette use, giving our flavoring base a leap in quality over others....
