From WL :
Unfortunately, our initial test batches of "Ice" and "Ultra Pure" extracts are depleted and no longer available by request. We will be running another trial in the near future to test process and batch consistency before permanently adding either to our product line.

What would those familiar with ICE recommend as the closest nic base to ICE in both price and lack of taste/smell/peppery bite?

Me and Jimi musta bought the last of it :ohmy: I don't know what to tell you other than if you look at the chart of the Nicotine Comparisions thread it kind of categorizes some of the elements of the most common bases. The whole thread is pretty good for making a nic buying decision. To me the ICE is a standout for the very reason you mentioned. Hope they continue to sell it down the road.

XTreme vaping nic is extremely flavorless - lets the flavors shine through, in my opinion, about as well as ICE. It has a bit more throat hit than ICE, though . .which I actually don't mind . .it's still very smooth. It's way up there in price, though.

WL Regular is great, too. It really is very smooth and flavorless. I've been switching back and forth between juices made with ICE and WL Regular and there isn't *that* huge of a difference . .at least not to me. The ICE does let the flavors shine through just a bit better, imo . . .

I agree that regular WL is great, but I find it a bit peppery at times, mostly with fruity flavors. I've tried a few different nic bases but not the XTreme Vaping one mainly because of cost, but I may have to diverge from my miserly ways temporarily, I hope.

And Shilo, that glare you feel on your avatar...yeah that was me LOL.

ICE is just so darn gooood. Sigh.

Xtreme Vaping is not a high volume dealer. Levy's nicotine base is made daily and arrives clear and colorless. I find the product to be top quality. I like the subtle flavor and significant TH. I purchase 100 mg in 250 ml. That lasts me about a year. I'm willing to fork out the extra $50 a year for high grade XV nicotine base and customer service.

Levy offers 3 ml samples at reasonable cost but you must email first. Don't miss the FAQ at this site.

Xtreme Vaping nic is compared on the historic post #65 in the Nicotine Comparisons thread.

$5 for 3ml's, is that then plus shipping? I know it's an easy way to sample, but still, almost all other places you can get 30-60 for $10-15 at least, sometimes more.

30ml sample for $5 plus shipping would be fair :D But ya, he has higher prices, so maybe that should be 10-15ml for $5?

Nothing towards you, those prices just made me jump back a bit :ohmy:

I just checked. The shipping on XV 3 ml sample is free. Look, 250 mg of XV 100 mg is the same price as two cartons of cigs at CA prices. That's a year's worth of nicotine base for me. Another brand of 100 mg nic base is the cost of one carton of cigs. I'm not going to quibble over that kind of price difference over a year.

Ahh thanks, I didn't check the shipping, thanks for looking!

I look at it like this, compare those prices to ALL other Nic prices, that's why it was a shocker to me. I understand what you mean, and ya his Nic might be great, but how much business and sales is he loosing with those high prices!?

That's how I'd look at it if I was in his shoes, even if it cost him a lot for the initial priduct, lower prices bring in way more sales volume compared to what little sales you get at higher prices, so it would make sense to me lower prices would make him more $$

I'm not shopping around, or bashing him or his Nic, was just chatting with ya after looking at those prices :)

That may be what it is, I can see how everyone might not want to get crazy busy, so you might be right on the money with that! I'll probably try it out sometime, just to taste, but I can't ever see myself buying a large bottle at those prices though, but that's just me being a budget shopper I suppose :)

Haha, if they sold Nic you know I'd be there, I bet it would be decent and at a great price due to sales volumes :D Probably not the best taste of course, but it would still be good, cheap, and easily obtainable :)
I totally agree with you. However, I wouldn't buy my juice at Walmart if my life depended on it.
