No, didn't know about that, but I seem to recall that VT's nicotine is very expensive compared to WizLabs. I just add the "Flash" additive, and that does the trick.
Thx!

No way VTs shipping is waaaaay cheaper. $16 shipped for 120ml beats WL. I have the "throat hit" 100mg nic, it rules. I've dropped from store bought 18/24mg when I started diying straight to 10mg and I'm still getting punched in the throat! Its their regular nic that costs more, but its worth it for clean unflavored nic..

I haven't used any of my stash yet, but My Freedom Smokes has their 500ml plastic bottles of 100mg/ml going for $50.00 now, and that a better price than WIzard Labs.
(Plus there are discount coupons flying around all over for their site, like 10% off right now)!

Of course they have it in PG or VG, or and ratios thereof.
I believe Bill has used their Nicotine?

Do you have a link for the 120ml? Because all I'm finding is the 1 liter, and I can't afford that; I always buy the 120ml from WL, $15.99 plus $3.40 shipping. Sure $16 shipped would be better, but I'm not finding that.
Andria
EDIT: nevermind, I found it; so it's $10 plus $6 shipping? How long does it take, from the UK? I'd love more TH without having to use the Flash.

Its not from the UK, I believe he's in Virginia. Can't find the business card that came with the order to be sure haha.. The nic comes from the UK but VT is here. I think it took only 2-3 days to get it in California, I actually got the nic before my WL order of flavoring got here, both ordered the same day.
Are you close to WL? When I priced my liquids the minute I added nic/pg/VG to my cart the shipping shot up to like $25! I only ordered my flavors there, since that actually gave me cheaper shipping options. With the nic I could only pick the one rate..
Not all that close; I'm in N Ga, they're in S FL -- but I went and looked at the email invoice, and it was $3.40 for shipping 120ml. It might have been the PG/VG that was so costly, because it's so heavy. I get my PG/VG from amazon; for 2 16oz bottles of PG the shipping was like $7.50, MUCH better shipping price than any vape vendor offers for heavy liquids like PG/VG. But I'll always go for ordering from somewhere other than FL; it takes a full week to get anything from FL, the next state!
Is that $10 the regular price? Because I really need to get some more 30ml brown glass bottles before I get anymore nicotine; 30ml of 100mg nic is like a 3 months' supply for me, so I don't want to store it in any larger bottles. I keep it in the freezer, and keep the 30ml bottle I'm currently using in the fridge.
Thx!

Their shipping is based on weight. If you just get 120ml nicotine their shipping is pretty cheap. Once you add PG and VG to the order the shipping price jumps drastically.
Vapers Tek is still cheaper, you are correct about that. I would order my nicotine from them, but I don't want the added "Throat Hit". If they offered nicotine without that then they would have became my go to place long ago.
His regular nic is some of the cleanest you're ever gonna get. I buy the throat hit one cause I'm cheap and its half the price.
I made a very cool discovery today. Ordering some flavors today at BCV (INW Biscuit is back!!! CROWD GOES WILD!), and I had 4 or 5 in the cart, and the budget said I could add one more, so I go into the TFA flavors and browse... and discovered that TFA Whipped Cream does NOT contain diketones! YES! It's got something called "triacetin" or something like that... is that anything to be concerned about? I ordered it anyway. 
I'm thrilled about that discovery!

I will probably try bumping the black cherry up just a bit to see what happens, and maybe nudge the bubblegum maybe 1% more and maybe back the sweetener off 1% - but this pretty darn good for me. It's pretty close.
Credit to Bill's Magic Vapor for the inspiration. I worked from the Grape Bubbleburst recipe, dropping the TFA Sweet & Tart.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please feel free to share them - but I'm a little more than halfway through a 30ml bottle and still enjoying it.
For the record, this is a 70% VG / 30% PG mix, counting all ml's of flavorings as PG.
Black Cherry Bubblegum
TFA Black Cherry 10%
TFA Vanilla Swirl 5%
TFA Sweet Cream 4%
TFA Bubblegum 3%
TFA Sweetener 4%
TFA Cotton Candy 2%
I had originally tested at 2% sweetener, and the Black Cherry seemed a bit lacking. So I doubled it to 4% to see if it would bring the Black Cherry out a bit more. It did - but I'm still trying to make up my mind whether it is too sweet or not. I may try bringing the Sweetener down to 3%.

I just put me a Bull city order in today too.I haven't ordered any flavors for probably a month now,but i ran out of peanut butter and banana cream which are both used in my current adv,so i had to put my tank buying spree on hold this week haha.I picked up 4oz. of peanut butter,but they were out of the 4oz. banana cream,so had to settle on a 10ml of that for now,although i was happy to see that they carry the 4oz. tfa stuff now.That makes it nice that i can still grab the big bottles,and not have to pay shipping to 2 different places if i want to pick up a few different brands.
I believe triacetin is one of the main components of TFA smooth if I remember correctly.
I'm getting annoyed with using a 14ga syringe for my 48mg vg nic right out of the fridge.
That might push me back to 50/50 nic base. I bet getting the 100mg base would let me mix pretty easily at the small amounts of pg that I normally have to add in addition to flavoring.
... but I have to bear with the brand new 500ml bottle of vg base first.

A 14ga is pretty fat; that's what I always use for VG, but I don't keep my VG in the fridge either, since it's just Vg, no nicotine. I do keep my PG nicotine in the fridge, and it can be difficult sometimes when cold, with an 18ga needle, so I'd hate to imagine VG when it's cold, it's bad enough at room temp!
Maybe see if you can find a 10 or 12 ga needle, or maybe just pour, if you make large enough batches.

I switched to plastic tapered syringes at 14 ga, then cut them off to allow VG nic and VG to flow easily. Additionally, I use a 100 ml syringe that has a giant opening for VG. Both work great. Links:
Syringe 100CC/ML: Plastic Syringe: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific
Dispensing Needle, Plastic Tapered Beige 14 ga 0.063id x 1.25" Tip, 50 pcs: Science Lab Needles: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific
These both allow me to use VG nic at 100% and VG overall at 70% without having to kick the dog, so to speak! Good luck!
bill i totally tried to order the set of 12 droppers a week ago and they never arrived so i called ups then i called amazon and no body will take the blame and i had to get a refund which suck no drop test for me
and it was the first time ive every used amazon
so then end thing is is there a store or local place in most cities or towns that would carry multiple droppers so i can try out the tests

Triacetin can be "hard on plastic" according to TFA. I have the Blueberry candy with triacetin and it comes out cloudy at first and takes awhile to mix with the VG. My batches take a week before they become clear like 'normal' juice..I made a very cool discovery today. Ordering some flavors today at BCV (INW Biscuit is back!!! CROWD GOES WILD!), and I had 4 or 5 in the cart, and the budget said I could add one more, so I go into the TFA flavors and browse... and discovered that TFA Whipped Cream does NOT contain diketones!

I'll probably test my new batch in my iClear and find out if it eats plastic or not. I know TFA says the green apple is a tank cracker but I've used other green apples just fine, so who knows..
Well that was unfortunate! Amazon has great tracking. Did the item ever show through tracking as delivered?
I use Amazon all the time and I've had great luck with them. I literally average one package a day for the last several years, since Prime, anyway. So, I don't get out too much, I use Amazon
. Other than finding them from another internet source, I have no recommendation...Sorry! 
Good luck!
