Why does Wizard Labs even bother?

I was lucky enough to catch some nicotine bases available at Wizard Labs last summer, so I bought some. My experience there was great, even though it still took them nearly three weeks to get it to me, despite saying it was "in stock" online. I've been checking periodically for months to find it in stock again. Here it is 8 months later and they STILL never have it in stock. We've lived through the "we're moving and getting re-situated" for months and now they still don't have anything.

Does anyone know what's going on with these guys? I mean, they sell flavors and non-nic bases, but being a vape supply place, nic base seems to be a pretty staple thing to have in stock. Why bother being a vendor? Lol

Speaking with them Monday, I was told they WILL have it in stock after Thanksgiving and to put in my email addie so I will be contacted when it's available. I guess they take care of those customers who have done so, first. I bought a small bottle from another vendor, just to get started, but I'm in for the big one as soon as it's available.

With their prices, I'd bet they will be out of stock again once they take care of everyone waiting.

This sure seems to come up a lot, but I cant see getting too worked up over it. I can only reiterate that WL supplies to more than just individual diy'ers, including resellers and major e-liquid vendors. As to periodically checking and never finding it, you must've not been checking often enough, I got 500ml from them about a month ago. There are certainly enough resellers that you can find what you need somewhere.

Don't know why you have to wait for Wizard labs. My Freedom Smokes has prices almost as low, PLUS you can get e.g. 75% PG/ 25% VG. Plus the juice comes in a glass, not plastic, bottle so no chance of plastic leaching into the juice over a long storage time. (Not sure if Wizard uses glass.)

Wizard labs only offers 100% PG or VG anymore.

Our Unflavored Smoke Juice (Nic. Juice, Nicotine Juice) - My Freedom Smokes

Plus, if you want the cheapest juice, this company offers 1000 ml of 100 mg juice for about $100 !

After mixing it down to a weaker solution, this would last me about 3 years !
Talk about saving money by vaping !

Also with any nic supplier, it helps to be willing to fall-back on strength. Obviously 100mg/ml nic is the most economical and sells out first, but theres nothing wrong with 50 or 36, and youre likely to find that if a supplier is out of the high-strength, its likely that some lower strengths are still available. This has worked well for me many times.

Wizard is 10.00 cheaper than MFS for a 500 Ml bottle of 60MG. With that being said, MFS has the glass bottles which are nice and also gives you the PG/VG mix you might want. Wizard sells in plastic bottles........ but, the MFS bottles haver a very narrow top/cap/hole... I do like the larger Cap/hole better with the Wizard bottles for getting your syringe down in there when it gets low....

You just have to go on Wizards sight, pick what yoiu want and there is an out of stock button that will let you give them your email.....then when they notify you, you better hurry and order.

We just cant all get what we want///LOL

Thanks for the input, all. I'm well aware that I don't NEED to get things from WL. In fact, I don't really NEED any supplies at all right now. Just thought I would go out and have a look at what was out there and available. I stumbled upon WL and saw that they were STILL out of stock on everything. I was just interested to hear what everyone else has been experiencing.

I'll just plan on other vendors from this point out. I guess I'm just a little confused about all the great reviews and everyone talking about how great WL is when they have stock maybe 5% of the time. I've only placed one order from them, and it was because of these reviews. Since it appears and I've heard that they supply other vendors, I'd likely be getting their repackaged product anyway. Lol

Patience is a virtue. If you plan correctly and don't wait until your almost out it shouldn't be a problem. I've been ordering from them for the last 6 months and never got stuck or had to order elsewhere because I was low on stock. If you don't have the patience or ability to plan ahead then it's best you order elsewhere and spend more.

The supermarket I buy my groceries at has long lines and is sometimes unbearable. I could go somewhere else where the lines are shorter but I don't because the prices are so good.

Perfectly understandable. And your comment is very valid. This is why I only depend on WL for my base liquid needs. For my flavors I shop some where else where the prices are comparable and always in stock. When it comes to vaping needs one stop shopping can sometimes be difficult. But as some have said, "I'm not going to use a vender any more because there always out of stock", is kinda like cutting your nose off to spite your face

Another thing to consider is the constantly growing customer base. Just compare the growth of this forum over the last year and figure how many new customers they have from just this site. Everybody wants their nic as fresh as can be but I think the biggest problem is demand. They simply can't produce quick enough to keep up. I think WL has decided to keep quality tops while sacrificing the "one billion served mentality". It's frustrating though, I'll give you that. By the way, I'm a RTS vapes customer but I do know that WL nic is a quality product.
