If anyone is looking for another place to buy nic, I stumbled upon vapingxtreme.com. They only sell 100 mg strength though.

What's strange is that they sell by the ounce instead of the ml. So, instead of buying 500 ml, I would have to buy 16oz (473ml).

Thanks Dancing,
That's the very purpose of this thread. I got on their e-mail list after looking them over.

    That's because it's probably Nicvape's product. They have diff mixtures on their website then the 100mg.

    If I remember correctly, Nicvape is a pretty good source.

    Forgot about them. I've also been looking for something to hold me over for a couple months until WL gets my order out.

    I received this email today from WL.


    Due to our Orlando move and our expansion, when we reopened for business a couple of weeks ago, we were slammed with about two weeks of orders in one day which used up are inventory of Nic and flavors. We due apologize for any inconvenience to you and are in the process of getting our backlog orders out by next week and restocking our all inventory for new orders.

    Thank you for your patience during this time of change.

    Sincerely,
    Susie

    Go to goodprophets.com. Use HALFOFF coupon code and get half off all DIY stuff. I order from there all the time.

    I bought some of their nic probably 10 months ago. It was on clearance at the time, and that may be why this was the case, but I purchased 36mg in VG and it was very amber colored and has a distinct smell. The only reason I'm using it right now is because it's all I have (All out of Ice...and money for that matter). At the end of the day, it is certainly vapeable.

    GoodProphets goes a great job at fulfillment, and the proprietor seems like a really nice guy, but unless their nic has changed (very well could have), it's not one I recommend. While I'll never shop at RTS myself, I'll tell you their nic is a thousand times better than what I got from GP (though RTS is out now again too). Unless someone says otherwise (i.e. that their nic has improved significantly) I would try ecigexpress or vapingzone or somewhere else....unless cost is your single biggest concern, or you just like strong flavored nic (some people that vape unflavored may actually appreciate it).

    I'm one of the a-holes who rushed them after opening. Must've got some of the last Nic they had in stock.

    Kind of unfortunate, seems like they could kill sales right now with this fda scare.

    Hopefully they aren't seriously effected by it.

    Is the right really a noticeable difference between their stock nic & ice? Doesn't cost any extra so obv worth getting but just for curiosity's sake.

    There certainly is - I'll again defer to CyrusVaps coverage of that. I like the regular in some tobacco mixes as well as unflavored. I go with Ice for everything else though - fruit flavors in particular are outstanding it in.

    So, it's your fault I can't get a nic order! LOL! I didn't know about the ice until I read the posts. I want to try it myself.
    I don't think they're too scared just yet. But, who knows what evil lurks in the hearts and minds of FDA?

    FYI, any unflavored nic base colors with time. If nicotine has taste or smell, how is one better than the other???

    I was going to order another liter of Ice. Now It's wait time. I've finally settled on this one. Perfect nic base.

    Right! I need some more too, may only be able to afford 250ml now though, hopefully they get caught back up soon. And hopefully Ice will still be in stock when I do get to place a order, I wish they'd list it on the site, at least that way we'd be able to feel more secure about which Nic our order might recieve. I know you request it, but not being able to order it directly often concerns me, maybe request would get overlooked, maybe they're too busy, out of stock on Ice/Pure, ect.

    It would be cool if they could add both of those as a option, or at least Ice if Pure isn't as available. Maybe a hidden URL/Page for use Ice fans? What'cha think John? I think that would be awesome!

    Well if you're reading this guys, hope you get things all settles from the move soon! And of course, hope you all can at least take a day or two off to sleep before you re-stock the site! :D

    Thanks again for your awesome service, waiting to put in a small Ice order as soon as you are ready! :thumbs:

    Some yellow faster than others. Those are impurities. I've been DIY'ing for 2 years. I like flavors to come through in the final mix. When the nic turns yellow, the flavors are not as distinctive any longer. Then we have to add more flavor, and that never tastes the same. If the nic is clean, my flavoring percentage is 1-3 %. If I need more flavoring than that, my nic is shot. Nic bases smell differently of how it was processed. The Ice nic has a distinctive odor, but does not hinder the flavor whatsoever.

    Yes, it does change - more so under poor storage conditions, and even more still depending upon the impurities in it. In my experience, most WL customers are amazed by the clarity and minimal taste of WL nic and they seem quite happy about this. It seems to me also that most people prefer receiving their nic in a state to as near colorless and odorless as possible: the prevailing belief being that this is what nic is like at it's purest and freshest. I'm not saying it is necessarily a problem, and grant some may even like it - most often those that prefer to vape unflavored like a nic with a stronger taste of its own. I do not think this nic tastes horrible.

    As I said, I bought it on clearance and my assumption was that it was likely getting old (and now it's even older :p). Vendors that don't specialize in nic sales may have inventory they allow to sit in conditions that are not ideal for nic storage and this just happens. Again, I like Good Prophets, but I just wanted to share with Wizard Labs customers my perception of their nic. WL has spoiled so many of us, and while your suggestion is great for a price-conscious customer in a pinch, I think a lot of us would perceive it as a much less desirable product overall, and so in this context, it does not get a recommendation from me. If someone was looking for something that has a taste of it's own that's also very inexpensive, go for it!

    As I said though: I'm vaping it right now because I'm out and it's doing the job. Others might just do the same, I was just compelled to give the heads up on what they might receive (though your comment leads me to guess that things have not changed in regards to it's color/taste/odor - would you disagree?)

    For reference, here is a post with a picture of it from me when it was one month after receipt.

    One other note: they thin their VG. Again, just a heads up - some people prefer this, but again, WL nic in VG is anhydrous. Either way, you should still be getting the same amount of nic.

    I actually have every intention of trying out WL as soon as they can take an order. The first time they were back logged with orders and the next they were moving. Growing pains of being a company that must be that good.

    Got my RTS order in.. great packing, nic looks clean and clear and everything else as ordered.

    Will try to mix up some tonight using this PG @ 100mg nic base and see how she vapes; just have to decide on what flavor to persue :) I would really like to mix up some of the Double RY4 that I do but this Tutti Fruity, Clove and Watermelon smell wonderful! :D

    Right now would order from RTS again, time and quality will tell.

    Cheers,
    ~Icky

    How long did it take to get the RTS order? Did they ship right away? Thinking of going that route...

    I have no history here, only this order which was my first from RTS, however I ordered at about 10am in the morning and have a shipping/tracking notice by 3pm the same day. At the time it was just the shipping label that was printed/etc and it took another day before the tracking indicated it was received at the shipping PO. From that point coming from NC to Ohio took only 2 days so 4 days total which is good enough for me.

    I did use the priority mail medium box option and NOT the free shipping. I'm not sure what more or less time that would have added or reduced but I saved a bit from the new customer coupon (in this thread) and it offset the shipping so I chose that over free shipping.

    Cheers,
