Hi there! Quick questions.. well, two of em, actually.

I'm a brand new DIYer and interested in getting my VG eliquid from you (nic added). Great prices, and everyone is saying its a great product. But I'm vaping 100% VG liquids, and am looking for a rather thin VG. I've heard your VG is great even with cartos and tanks without a whole lot of thinning needed, but now people in this thread are talking about the fabulous thickness! lol I'm confused. Can anyone fill me in on approx thickness of the VG nic juice? Just how much thinning would be necessary for use in Boge cartos? Thanks so much. I know that's a rather subjective question. ;)

And second.. there aren't any current coupon codes floating around, are there? Didn't see any on master list, but figured it was worth double checking. Thanks!!

And oh yeah... here's my vote for adding plastic bottles in standard sizes to your offerings (assuming you find a supplier you're happy to deal with). Even at $ .45 or $ .50 cents each for the little ones, they'd still be worth picking up a bunch every order. Other places might have them slightly cheaper, but when little bottles are all you order you're stuck with the $5 shipping. I'd rather pay a lil extra for the bottles and get em same source and save the extra shipping charge from another vendor. My 2cents. ;)

Yes, I have bought from US Plastics back in February and was very happy. However, back in February the UPS freight was like 15% of product order amount. Still ok. Now they charge 50% for freight and $35 for lift gate which in many cases is like adding 85% to order amount for shipping which is <>&*%(.

Not very cost effective with shipping charges like that. I have only done small orders so I wasn't aware of the high shipping charges. I am sure you probably already checked but is it possible they have an alternate shipper at a lower cost. Just a thought.

Well, my favorite flavors are Banana, French Vanilla and Clear Double Chocolate from FA so 30ml bottles from them would be awesome. I think the 30 and 10, possibly 5ml bottle sizes are the only ones I buy. 5 or a 10 for testing flavor and 30 for bulk. I prefer glass bottles but flavors go by so quickly I guess it would not really be that big of a deal.
Glad to see you are going to be carrying flavors. I either go straight through FA or DIYonestop for my flavors. I have switched getting nic from DIYOSS to you guys, if you carry flavors, all my business will be through you guys.

Thank you Skyway. Your input on favorite flavors from FA is exactly what I need because we are not going to start off with all 100 plus flavors FA has. We thought may be 40 to 60 to start. Thanks again.

Input from other customers like Skyway gave on what their favorite flavors from FA are would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, We currently have no sales or coupons because we just completed a big Halloween sale. However, if you have not ordered from us before we have a permanent coupon code that gives you 5% off. Code is FIRSTORDER. Note: to our surprise our website software knows if you ordered from us before by your IP address.

As far as the VG thickness goes, the overwhelming majority of our customers want it thick. A couple months ago we received several requests to thin our VG and we did thin it. There was an uproar from our VG customers who want it thick with nothing added to it. So our position is our VG will continue to be pure USP Grade Kosher Certified. All I can suggest is you add distilled water or pure grain alcohol to it to thin it out.

Thank you so much! That's exactly what I needed to know. Time to buy some distilled water and vodka for me! ;) I just ordered a slew of FA flavors today. I'll make sure to come back in when they arrive and let you know my faves. I'm guessing a bunch of people weighing in on their faves would be a great way to figure out which ones are the most popular. Good luck with expanding into flavors!

Ok, so I'm easily confused. Are we talking about FlavorArts or The Perfumers Apprentice flavors?
My favorite is TPA and I have TPA caramel on my want list at the moment.

Perfumers Apprentice division called Flavor Apprentice is the company we struck a good deal with. We were planning to introduce this companies flavors first but input from our customers is welcome. We have not ordered anything from Flavor Apprentice yet.

Additionally, we also have an agreement with LorAnn Oils. Customers, please comment on your opinion of them.

We are having communication issues with FlavorArt. We need to hire a freelancer that writes Italian and English to help us in our negotiations with them. We just have so many projects underway this has kinda fallen to the back burner. Our personal experience is FlavorArt makes the best flavor but they are considerably more expensive. Are our customers willing to pay FlavorArt prices on all flavors or just specific ones? Please post your comments. If anyone of our customer writes Italian and is interested in assisting us, please PM me. We can pay you via PayPal.

Update:

1) Ordered a large order of laboratory glass such as graduated cylinders, beakers and more from China via Ocean freight. Eta 2 months.

2) Ordered large order of glass vials and bottles from China for flavors via Ocean freight. Eta 2 months.

3) Received large order of syringes and needles from USA company today.

4) Ordered warehouse shelving for new inventory. Eta 3 to 4 weeks.

Thanks.

Got to have some TPA Tobacco Absolute! I'm testing every single bottle of FA's tobaccos. So far the Viginia and Cuban Supreme are my favorites. I have another big batch coming tomorrow.

Thank you Lyndagayle. We will carry TPA Tobacco Absolute initially but this is another product we can manufacture ourselves.

Randy. Please manufacture the Tobacco Absolute and Extract..The last batch of Extract I used from Flavor Apprentice, was terrible.. It was exactly like charcoal. It clogged and burned the cartomizers and it was like being back on the analogs.. I even strained the stuff, and still had a black residue...

What a coincidene, Ive yet to try DIYed flavors before but the first two im trying are Flavor Apprentice and FlavorArt from one stop DIY. I should have my first order by Monday or Tuesday. The only thing I bought from FlavorArt was the MTS Vape Wizard to help in case I make a batch that taste a little off. If it works well it will be something Id buy often.

The Flavor Apprentence flavors were within my budget for this purchase so I bought 10 of those....

(Flavor: Tobacco Flavor, Size: 6ml)
(Flavor: Tobacco Blend (PG), Size: 6ml)
(Flavor: Spearmint, Size: 6ml)
(Flavor: Root Beer, Size: 6ml)
(Flavor: Dew Drops (Mt), Size: 6ml)
(Flavor: Menthol Liquid (PG), Size: 6ml)
(Flavor: Coffee, Size: 6ml)
(Flavor: Cinnamon Redhots, Size: 6ml)
(Flavor: Chocolate, Size: 6ml)
(Flavor: Cappuccino, Size: 6ml)

I don't know what I'll end up liking but that's some general flavors I was interested in. Some of those flavor ideas I bought premixed from madvapes a few months ago so those are ones Im likely to buy again if they turn out to be good. As for Flavor Art I persoanly may only be interested in a bottle here and there. It is more expensive but I wouldn't want to ruin it for everyone else so I think the more selection you have the better. Besides having variety is always a good thing for customers when you consider online shipping cost.

I settled on Madvapes for hardware partialy because that site alowed me to get most of what I needed at one site. Then I found One Stop Diy and choose them for flavors and mixing supplies because they also had a great selection.
The nicotine was a little high for the concentration they were selling it though, so I went to RTS for that.

It's great your expanding, have you seen graduated bottles for E liquid anywhere? That would be something Id buy because I can't find them in the sizes I want (10 to 30ML). This would help me because it would reconfirm that the syringe or pypette measurment are accurate when adding and mixing, and id always know how much liquid I have left.

KrisBKream,

Hello and how are you doing? We received your complaint and gave you an in store credit because you said only one of the bottles tasted strange. We notice you complained about this in the DIY thread. If you want a credit card refund, no problem, just let us know. Just realize refunds via credit card take time to show up on your statement and your available credit. By the wording of your tickets we did not realize you wanted a credit card refund but we have no problem giving you double your purchase back. We honor our 30 day guarantee on liquid nicotine. We have given refunds 90 days after purchase. Your acknowledgment of this would be appreciated. We only asked for the bottle back to investigate the issue since 400 orders of the same batch had no issues. We believe you and want to help.

Hey, let's maintain a friendly relationship. We will do right by you and over compensate you. We offer refunds with no questions asked. Thanks, Randy

It's great your expanding said:
We are really excited about the quality of the glass cylinders we have purchased. No one offers this quality, not even close. We have samples and have tested these little buggers for accuracy. They can be boiled or put through the dishwasher and the high contrast markings remain unchanged plus the accuracy of the gradients is not compromised because of the high grade glass they are made of. They are cute little guys in 5 ml, 10 ml, 20 ml, 100 ml and 250 ml. I will be selling them for 30% of what you would pay in the USA. Plus we ordered from the same company a number of cute little beakers of various sizes.

I actually ordered for our own company's use some 500 ml, 1000 ml, 2000 ml and 5000 ml stock. I really think our customers will love these and we are not buying them to get rich. We are expanding to get more nicotine liquid business and to fill our customer's mostly empty flat rates boxes with useful items.

We know MadVapes is the price leader. We are 1.5 miles from them and we have interacted. Enough said.

Just a fyi. there are other things that come into play sometimes. I was mixing right along with rts nicotine then I opened up a new bottle of pg. All my mixes tasted awful. Same flavors same percentages. Had my pg tested was assured it was pg. It might have been pg but it tasted awful. Switched to another brand and everything is back to normal.Sure glad I did not dilute my orginal rts nicotine with this pg. I would have thought rts nic was no good.
