Who are the veteran forum suppliers and major liquid manufacturers? Nicotine? Vg/pg?

[IndoorClouds]

1. I am curious if anyone knows who the original forum suppliers as well as the original flavor suppliers are?

2. Do most e-liquid suppliers make their own flavors or do they source from a few main companies?

-Essentially, I am interested who the major suppliers and creators of liquid flavors are, like TPA, TFA, Capella, Lorann, and Natures Flavors.

-I have the same questions regarding liquid nicotine and pg, and vg suppliers/manufacturers.

The original forum suppliers? The format of this forum has changed many times over the years. ECF supporting vendors came later and the vendor sub used to be organized in the order they were accepted as ECF vendors...but I don't know how it's organized now or if that organization will change in the next few weeks. The original flavoring vendors that I used were reselling Lorann's and Flavour Art. Some of us mixers were using vendors that had no idea that they were selling to vape mixers and when one did, she started TFA off of TPA.

Most e-liquid suppliers are using flavoring from the same places us DIY mixers are getting it from.

There is a whole sub-forum devoted to DIY mixing and some of us there are vets too.

PG and VG are manufactured by fairly large companies and the minimum orders from places like that mean that even fairly popular vendors are buying through distributors instead of directly. Discussion of buying nicotine directly from a manufacturer is not allowed on ECF as it requires specialized equipment and knowledge to handle safely and those who have that knowledge wouldn't need to ask. There are many good vendors that supply nicotine diluted down to 100mg/ml or less for use by mixers and some of them even supply a number of e-liquid producers too.
