Not that I have found, most people will not understand 500mg.... but they might understand the amount of liquid they need to make 100ml of 24mg, so I added a couple columns and made it an xls format so older excel files can read it.
Good work,

Added:
Ok I redid a couple things, I added in the ability to define the ml and mg quantiy, so you can see how much nic juice it will take from that vendor to make the desired defined amount.

Very cool. Thanks! What about making it $ to make x mls of x concentration instead though, so that last column would be more of a direct comparison? =($B$1*$B$2*I4) would be the formula, I think.


ETA: I'm so far ahead on nicotine (got a lot in the freezer), but I'm still considering that sale. That's a good price. Hmmm!

Found a couple errors, so I rewote it and added a column if the requested amount is possible for what you are buying :)

Just redownload it.

Added, yeah forgot to address the cost stand point. Added that field. And resorted by "Cost"

Maybe this has already been addressed but the only thing I see that would make this inaccurate is the additional PG/VG needed for the higher nic strengths. Also shipping on my liter from MFS was only $5.95 not $7.49.

You are right about the shipping. Looks like I picked the signature confirmation shipping price by mistake.

Oh, no... looking at mine I think I had shipping for 1 liter from MFS at 5.95. Not sure about Dan's. I have Wizard labs at 7.49 shipping for the larger volumes.

I think the cost estimate (at least as I had intended it) was just the cost of the nicotine alone. Not accounting for any additional ingredients that will be added.

ETA: for some reason, when Dan redid, it seems all the shipping for every vendor and amount got changed to $7.49.

Uh Oh.... Will have a look. :)

FIXED! Just re-download from any link, they are all the same.
Hey how do you like the % field :)

Dan, I'm so confused. Somehow, I knew what I was doing a couple of nights ago. Would you mind explaining to me what it was I was trying to accomplish?

Never mind. I figured it out. I forgot that I was leveling off the playing field, so that a comparison would be accurate. You were correct, in that my numbers were on the money the first go around. I got too hung up on someone questioning the numbers, to the point of thinking that I did something wrong.

Now, I'm not exactly sure yet what to make of your new spreadsheet. Got a lot of time on your hands? :lol: I just wanted to do something quick and easy so people can see who's got the cheapest. Wasn't really any question of who's most expensive. I don't know how anyone can charge that much when most everyone else undercuts them by almost a hundred dollars.

Carry on, and good job.

LOL, actually that is spazmelda's spreadsheet I just tweaked it a little. Actually no I dont have alot of time on my hands, but I love to play in excel and access. So I like challanges that keeps my very little excel skills honed :)
This way people can pick which one suits them best, a quick check or an indepth analysis in comparision.
Hope that answers the Q's :)
Here is the project I am currently busy with:

I use Wizard Labs and High desert. High desert sells RTS nic. Like everything else, I try to consolidate things if possible to distribute shipping charges across as many items as possible.

Sandy - I was born in OKC.

Ok...I refuse to keep saving over previous spreadsheets and for the love of Pete, can one of you guys/gals just please tell me which is the least expensive? I don't want Pete to fell unloved any longer. :D

Depends on the sales...one week it could be Wizard labs (which is down right now btw) next week it could be MyFreedomSmokes or GoodProphets...

Prices are great and all but I thought I remember reading somewhere that some nic bases have an off flavor to them?

What's the highest quality brand of nic base? What about combination of quality+low price?

My last order of nic was from RTS and as of right now it's pretty phenomenal as far as I'm concerned. Haven't tried anything else, tho.
