RTS Vapes vs. Xtremevaping

[tricci]

Hello DIYers!

I'm about to jump in and start making my own juice. I've been looking around for VG nic base and I'm either going to order from RTS Vapes or Xtremevaping. I like RTS Vapes prices better, but I am willing to pay more for a superior product. Here's my question: "Whose base is better?"

Thank you for your help!

Many, if not most, folk in the DIY E-LIQUID forum use RTS nic now.

 

[hyperfluous]

xtreme advertises 99.86% pure nicotine
rts advertises 99.22% to 99.93% pure nicotine

To be honest, I use to only buy my nic from Xtreme. It is fabulous. But lately, I have found myself buying from RTS due to the price difference. It's a BIG difference and so far, I'm satisfied with the quality of RTS. I didn't like it when they were cutting their VG with DW, but they have stopped doing that as of recently.

I can only comment on rts as I haven't used extremevaping. For the last few days I've been only vaping unflavored nic 75/25 pg/vg @ 12 mg, and it has been awesome. Great flavor, great vapor, very very clean and crystal clear. So I would definitely recommend RTS.

Yeah, I didn't care for the thinner VG -- I ended up buying some unadulterated VG locally and mixing it in to the RTS VG so it's a lot thicker now. But I can say I am totally satisfied with their nic base. No issues with it whatsoever and my juices have always come out good. (Well, except the few flavour abominations I've made.) Great prices and great service from them for me.

I haven't used Xtreme, but I've bought from RTS several times already (only 2.5 months in so far) and I'm very pleased with their product. I've bought both 60 mg/ml and 100 mg/ml and both have been clear and a-okay as far as I can tell.

I've only used RTS base. So far so good. I think their shipping prices are a little high, but it's 3 day express, so can't throw too big of rocks at 'em for that.

 

[Smugface]

I have used and been happy with both. Have been using RTS lately as they have the best price.

Woot! Thank you so much for asking this question, as I've had the two websites up for about a week trying to figure out which one would be better to order VG nic juice from. I just WISH like crazy that the RTS came in a nicer container. If it were in a nice glass bottle, this would totally be a no brainer for me.

Who's is the thinner one? I actually like my VG nice and thin as I use 100% VG. I thought someone had said RTS was nice and thin, but then on their site it says something about very thick VG.. so that sent me back to drawing board. Anyone who's used both, which VG is thinner?

RTS thinned their VG in the past, but don't now. They just used distilled water to do it before, which you could easily do as well (1 gallon of distilled water is $1).

I prefer for my nic to be shipped in plastic, I can transfer it to glass when it actually arrives. Less worry about breakage that way.

 

[tricci]

Thank you for your replies, they were very helpful! I will be ordering from RTS. Can't wait to make my first juice!

 

[Str8V8ping]

From all my reading , xtreme has the best nic from what people say but RTS is good as well and cheaper . Iv only ordered pg from xtreme because the shipping is cheaper than rts .

That is my exact opinion.

 

[RippleInStillWater]

xtreme is the best IMO.......

You can usually buy bottles from most vendors that offer DIY supplies. OR you could order a bunch from Specialty Bottle. I ordered a bunch of amber bottles from a local supplier and transferred my nicotine into them. I then store them in a small fridge attached to my water cooler in the kitchen to keep it fresh.

As was said RTS used to thin their VG but recently stopped doing that apparently. I bought a liter of their VG and PG a couple of months ago and the VG was pretty thin, probably about twice as thick as the PG. But I like thick VG so I added some locally-sourced thick VG to it to thicken it up nicely. As was also mentioned, you can just use distilled water to thin it down.

Here's one more option
Box Elder Chemical Supply - 500 ML 100 Mg/Ml
I bought a liter of 100mg and a gallon of PG and I believe I'm set for a while

 

[Shilo]

Ordered twice from RTS based upon recommendations here and have been very pleased. I agree the shipping is a bit high (for me) so I get my PG and VG elsewhere.

As a note... I know little of RTS so I have nothing negative to say about them.

Xtremevaping has been one of two sources I've used for nic and I'm very happy with them. They also wholesale quantity to a number of suppliers. My alternate supplier actually gets their nicotine base from Xtremevaping so I will not mention them perse.

One of the things that keeps me going back to Xtremevaping is that he tests his batches, and has refused to sell nicotine base that did not meet his purity standards. If you have been watching his website you'll notice that Levi shuts down sales when the nic he receives isn't up to snuff. That gives me a little security.

And needless to say- I'm speaking as a long time customer... and not an ECF mod.
