    Bottom line to both of your questions is IDK. To the first it depends on a number of things, storage space available to me, the shelf life of the opened product. I probably will since handling it is a hazard and I'll gown and glove up. To your second, I expect that the package to be labeled, but I also expect that it is a stable compound and should have a long shelf life if not exposed to air, light, etc. I'm hoping it comes vacuum sealed.

    Liquid Nicotine Wholesalers is where I bought it... I went for the stronger to save space..

    Wow, never heard of them, but they still have a site .. Commercial sales, it looks like .. 5 gallons minimum of 250mg and about 2K on the money .. and, 1000mg at $400 a liter ..

    They were cheaper a week ago, I checked when they sent me an email...

    When I bought that gallon I used an ELR coupon code (and points too I think) and spent about 435.00 shipped.

    They have gone commercial only, Nude Nicotine did too, they stopped shipping retail before LNW did..

    A loophole?


    To: The valued Mothers Milk WTA Customers;

    We spent years preparing for the FDAs Pre-Market Tobacco Application (PMTA) and submitted over 1500 PMTAs and they were accepted and are currently in Scientific Review. This should have given us at least a year to continue to sell online. Due to the government wanting to protect the children from dangerous all in one pod type mass marketed devices containing high Nicotine salts (which we support). The CARES act; the $600 stimulus package. Way down on page 5100 something was an inclusion of electronic cigarettes into the Jenkins and PACT act and an order to stop all shipping to online customers of vapor products. That’s batteries, coils, eliquid, ect anything with the intended use to be vaporized and inhaled.

    Due to this all retail sales have shifted to the distributors and they do not currently have shipping solutions worked out.
    We have been manufacturing since 2012 and nothing has changed in the currently available products since around 2015.
    If you have been a DIYer, tester, experimenter, researcher ect and wish to acquire WTA to further your continued Personal Academic or Commercial research. We will not be referring to any products as vape or eliquids or infer that they could or should be used as such. If you goto the website you will see the following statement.

    Personal Academic Commercial Research customers please read:
    If you’re here reading this you most likely have been a previous personal or academic researcher purchasing the retail product. Or you are interested in conducting your own personal research on WTA focused on tobacco harm reduction, Bio analysis or analytical testing studies.
    For continuity of research the only changes made are to the labeling and a cap seal that clearly states “Not for human consumption” Packaging will include a wrap that states the product is for research purposes only and is not a vapor product. There is no intended purpose on research products. The contents inside remains the same. Any questions? Please email sales AT mothersmilkwta.com

    Shipping will be conducted under SIC 2833 for research.
    The will be a few products added the Research Products page previously only sold strictly to academic institutions and manufacturers.
    Tobacco absolute.
    500ml 100mg WTA Supercritical Extracted Organic tobacco in 100%vg.
    Organic Tobacco flavoring in Pure 100% Ethanol.

    We hope the business model changes make sense to you and we will support you in any way we can to continue your tobacco harm reduction and analytical research.
    Thank you for your continued support

    UPS GROUND. How FedEx got it I have no idea. That's the weird part. Nice of them to let UPS know it was delivered.
    There was a recent $$$ lawsuit (NY?) that UPS lost for "illegal" delivery of nic/tobacco products before the mail ban. That maybe why carriers jumped onboard so quick to drop most shipments.

    Ironic because in Calif (and other states/cities?) UPS and FedEx lobbied to restrict online sales to signature on delivery. They sent reps to testify at city council meetings, with backroom access. I assume they sunk an equal effort into a nat'l campaign. And all for nothing in the end.

    I bet I'll get that 1400 dollar stimulus check now... lol
    I hadn't planned on upping my nic stash with stimuli money, but your post got me thinkin', for less than half the check I could add another 30 years to that stash.

    eta: Of course that dream was based on what nic prices used to be..

    That's what my husband wanted to do last month before everyone stopped shipping retail, but in examining our finances it was something we just couldn't afford until that stimulus check came..

    Of course I check daily for the last two weeks and nada yet... so now that retail stopped, I'll probably get the stupid thing.... haha

    Got my liquid nic from nic giant today. Securely packaged and all still contained in the bottles (thank god lightning didn’t strike twice, lol). And decided to place a last minute diy supply order from bull city to go with it, and scales and bottles from Amazon. No more ordering feels rather sad......


    Oh and in spite of all of the signature stuff, both ups and Usps have left several vape packages on the porch including the nic delivered today.

    Nic prices haven't gone up. only place I know of that raised prices was Caroline Extract, by about $10 a liter. Everyone else that's still shipping/selling to consumers has the same priced they had last year. See here. LNW didn't raise their price, they just stopped selling anything less than 5 gallons in their house brand. But now they went B2B only.

    I just got a reply from them a few minutes ago, they want me to send pics of the missing nicotine. Only problem with that is that I rebottled it right away and all original packaging got disposed of this am

    Bull city isn't closing or stopping shipping are they?

    They sell food flavorings, so long as whatever it is isn't advertised or promoted as anything to do with e cigarette use they can sell whatever... it's the labelling that matters in my understanding...

    They stopped selling nicotine years ago. I read somewhere they have no plans on closing their business. They sell food flavorings. Believe it or tobacco flavorings (like Tobacco absolute) are used in men's perfume. If you go out on the internet one can find TA.
