Bullcity seems to be the best source right now then RTS.

I just placed a big order with buyhangsen on my usual flavorings so I should be good for a while.

I've always ordered from vapingzone and I never had any issues with their hangsen, they do rebottle it but so far there haven't been any inconsistencies and the price is great

Note -

I'm finding the factory bottled concentrates from buyhangsen need a longer steep than rebottled ones.

I thought the bH Arabic was off from the flavor im used to. But when I got toward the end of the 90ml I made, it tasted correct. That was about 2-3 weeks - where as the rts took about half the time I believe. Must be because they are more fresh, no air has touched the concentrate since bottled.

The bottle I made 5-7 days ago still tastes off. So it will take another week and a half...
 
Darn it, I just got around to placing my first order with them a couple of days ago, and by the time I have it and can try the flavors, they will probably be cleaned out. Talk about being late to the party! Oh well, hopefully they are just closing the vendor site and will continue to offer concentrates somewhere.

I know Tom very well over there and offered to buy out his remaining stock. We are talking right now. So if all go's well it will still be available through me. I will also be looking into his sources and am seriously thinking of discussing taking over his site with him. As we are both in the same state I may need to arrange a meeting face to face if we decide go further so lets see what the future holds. As I'm getting very close to retirement I think this will be a good venture into retirement. As I come from the information systems field and my son is a web designer I think this fits perfectly with my DYI knowledge. It seems like there's a lot of room for expansion venturing into other manufacture original bottled flavors, mixing supplies and hardware.

Are you worried the FDA will throw the whole thing on its side in the not too distant future? I was just thinking yesterday that I wished I had gotten into vaping sooner, since I enjoy chemistry and math and tinkering with gadgets, and my wife is obsessed with cooking and flavors (we have enough cookbooks to fill a small room). But now it seems to me that the market is pretty crowded with vendors (except perhaps for an exclusive selection such as you are considering) and that the FDA is going to make life very difficult, at least for those that aren't already established enough to weather the storm and adapt. Just my admittedly over cautious thoughts, and I would certainly not have a problem patronizing your business, assuming the prices are reasonable.

Looking at the market and legislation it certainly is worrysum but as of now legislation is more geared towards the sale of Nicotine and not at the flavoring industry. But a lot of research still needs to be done. It's not something I'm going to jump into without doing lots of thinking and research on legislation and market trends pertaining to the industry. Lots of homework still needs to be done and it needs to start with opening discussions to see exactly what the business has been doing in past sales, what there profit margins are and the way business has been conducted so I know exactly what I'm getting into. I will not make any rash decisions without knowing all the facts first.

I would definitely order from you danny!
 
I suppose another consideration/possibility is that this is actually a good time to be jumping into the market, since existing businesses might have a lot less hoops to jump through than new ones, after the FDA does whatever they are going to do. And the same for existing products vs. new ones; if I remember correctly, their wording included requirements for "introduction of new products" or something like that.

It sounds like a perfect fit for you. Best of Luck!

I would worry about product liability insurance and how much it could go up if something stupid hits the news.

Otherwise it looks like a good fit for you if it is not your only income.
