Where to get liquid ingredients?

[JimZet]

Hello,

I've been searching this information and the only information i've ever found was pretty much useless.
The subject of this topic is the ingredients.
Where to get them?

The point of this topic is NOT to look for vape shops online or anything like that.
I'd like to know where, in what "kind" stores (in real life) you can get the ingredients.
For example, Grocery store, Pharmacy and such.

This information needed for people like me, that live in countries where they don't really have much choice in liquids.
For example in my country there are only about 4 shops that sell liquids and the kits, the prices are insane for special mixes with lats say 80% VG and 20% PG. So those who have the same issue in their country forced to overpay ( 10$-14$ for each 10ml liquid ).
Lucky that regular 50%/50% 100ml cost 10$-14$.
You realize how weird it is? Regular BIG ( 100ml ) Liquid bottle has the same price as special liquid mixtures but with 10ml only ?

Where can we look for VG (Vegetable Glycerin)?
Where can we look for PG (Propylene Glycol)?
Where can we look for Flavor?
--Which Flavorings better to use ?
Where can we look for Nicotine ?
--Which nicotine is better to look for?

NICOTINE IS VERY DANGEROUS, DO NOT MIX IT UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

Without knowing your exact location, can only make broadside suggestions.

Look in the bigger department stores for Vegetable Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, flavorings. You may find Propylene Glycol in farm supply stores as at times farmers add it to livestock water to keep it from freezing. What I understand of it, Propylene Glycol is an inert chemical meaning it has no adverse effects of the livestock.

Nicotine you may want to look to a medical supply store. Not sure they will exactly have it for over the counter as it gets listed for restrictions.

Flavorings can be found with baking goods most often. If you want, or have to, try plain unflavored nicotine base. I would think VG could be found in some baking sections as well, though you may need to look for a specialty cooking store to find it.

Items for making e-liquid are going to be discussed here.

In 2015, ECF members ran a test/run-off for the best nicotine and Nude Nicotine won the contest. It is where I buy all of my nicotine, PG/VG/ and all of my lab supplies.

Where to get them?

PG/VG suggest USP grade only. Walmart or some pharmacies may have one or both.
Nic and flavorings. If you live near a flavor blender like I do (TFA), I can willcall. I do not know what city and state your located at, so, can not make a suggestion. Might like to list your location in members information--click your name top right hand (red box lights up) and fill in location.
You can find some extracts (most extracts are very weak in flavor for vaping) in supermarkets and the like but they are not formulated for vaping. You have to know strengths, filler materials if any and flavor to determine if the extract is vapeable.

--Which Flavorings better to use ?

The best flavoring to use is the one you like the best.
