How comfortable are you all with the quality of the product?
2 liters comfortable; and no complaints yet. Also, though purely anecdotal, I have yet to read any serious complaints about Heartland's service, or nic products. I will buy from them again. (I am speaking of their basic nic; I have not tried their "Ultra Premium" from Chemnovatic.)

Wow... those prices really make me want to buy a stockload, but I'm moving soon so.... I'll wait till the Christmas sale. ;)

Heartland Vapes prices for a liter of 100mg is always around $50 without a sale. When Christmas come around they will more than likely have a decent coupon code to get some $ off so good choice on waiting till then if you would be able to get any till then.

Just my opinion here - Unless you're moving to mainland US or similar, and would have to figure out how to safely transport several liters of 100mg nic...I'd definitely go ahead and get a few liters now. If you're only moving within Hawaii, I'd just use an ice chest to move it with your other stuff.

Christmas is nearly 6 months away. There's no telling what the availability, price, and the regulations for 100mg nic base may be by then. I'm one of those "better safe than sorry" types though. :thumbs:

Just a question for everyone.. I get all my nic at NN, I really trust them and like their quality. Everyone seems okay with cheap nic from places like heartland, but isn't it too cheap? How comfortable are you all with the quality of the product?
I think it just depends on what you like, and what you're used to. What one person finds disgusting and awful, may be totally fine for another person who can't tell what the first person is talking about.

I personally like Chemnovatic nic and Carolina Extracts SuperCritical Nic. I have about 16 liters of the former, and another 5 or 6 of the latter, all broken down and frozen. I paid $100 per liter (give or take) for the Chemnovatic, and the SuperCritical has always been $150 per liter. Neither company has ever offered sales to the best of my knowledge.

I also have some NN which I just purchased because it was pre-packaged for freezing, but I've never even tried it, and not really counting it as part of nic stash despite having 3 liters of it. NN is also not cheap (as compared to other nic available on the US market). You can also purchase pure nic which is 10x the concentration of 100mg/ml, but I do not believe this forum allows posting of that -- whatever the case, google is your friend (although nic from China may not be).

I'm happy with what I have, it works for me, I have enough to share with family and friends, or over a century's worth of nic for myself :) Whatever you do, stock up on something!

Cheers.

Haha, yes, I am moving to the mainland... basically getting rid of everything I own because shipping over there is so expensive. Not a good time to stock up! ;)

Well, do you have relatives or really good friends that you could have the nic base shipped to in the states, if you bought some now? They wouldn't have to do anything to it when it arrived. Just keep it in its box in the coolest part of their house/apt., etc. where pets nor kids can get to it. It really wouldn't have to be split up and put in a freezer between now and Christmas, if that's when you're moving. However, if they're up north and have a basement...that would be ideal for best temp most likely!

I paid $100 per liter (give or take) for the Chemnovatic,
Heartland offers Chemnovatic for $82.99/liter (labeled with their house label as "Ultra Premium"):

With their 25% off July 4th sale; that goes down to $62.24/liter.

Any of you nic connoisseus (my taste buds are so abused; they do just fine with the $43 stuff;)) who might have been wanting to try Chemnovatic, but didn't want to pay the $100 pricetag; here is a great opportunity.:D (Note: sale ends tomorrow, July 4, at midnight.)

I picked up six 120ml bottles of their Ultra Premium on sale almost a year ago and tried it out unflavored and in one of my favorite recipes. Like @IDJoel (not only abused but overused after all these years taste buds), did not detect a sufficient difference to warrant the increased cost....for me, anyway.

You know, at 3 mg, I can't tell the difference between NicSelect, the Premium ($$) Nude Nicotine stuff, and this cheap stuff from Heartland. Even at 6 mg, I really don't notice any difference. At what mg strength do you all start to notice a difference?

I was able to discern a difference between Nude Nicotine and Chemnovatic @10mg unflavored despite not having a particularly sensitive palate. I doubt I would notice much difference @3mg in a flavored mix however although I'm certain there are others that could.

In short, I think noticing a difference is going to be entirely dependent on the individual with some even welcoming the flavor nuances that nicotine brings with it in some cases.

I have never tried ANY of the "premiums" (Nude, Chemnovatic, Carolina), as they are beyond my budget; and I find the "cheap" nics (Heartland basic, RTS basic {do they have a "premium"?}, and Wizard Labs basic) to be just fine. The only difference I ever noticed was that the Wizard Labs had a bit more of a bite; but even that was barely noticeable. The only reason I move on to other brands was price. So, I am unable to answer your question; oh, and I vape at 6mg/mL.:D

(I had only mentioned the Chemnovatic at Heartland, because @schismz had mentioned their preference for Chemnovatic, in an earlier post. I was not meaning to endorse Chemnovatic as a "better" alternative; only that Heartland has a "premium" offering, as well as their "basic" nic, for those who might be looking for such. I apologize if I was misleading.:blush:)
