Wizard Labs is still down!! Any other suggestions?

[tc1]

Ya know ... something I've never even bothered checking into ....

How long will flavorings last without losing any taste? 120ml per flavoring might be the way to go but it will take me friggin forever to use that much.

That is a very good question! If someone has the answer, I wanna know!

I would think that if you store it like any other flavoring (spices, herbs etc) in a dark, cool, dry place with the lids tightly a year at the least. I might consider putting it in a smaller containers though as it is the oxygen that is going to get you, so each time you open it more oxidation will occur, and more liquid out = more air in. All in all, another high quality problem I think!

I'll probably just wait for WL. Almost out of my Ecto-1 but I'll live without it. (for a little while anyways)
Need to work on some new recipes anyways. Ever since Ecto-1 I have been slacking because I'm friggin addicted to it. lol

I'd love to know this as well. My first 120ml bottle of flavoring (FA) is in the mail. I'm 99% certain it will be a in glass bottle. Not sure if I need to store it in the fridge or not though. I have some TFA flavors from Oct 2011 that still have major flavor. Stored in glass vials, in a box, in a cool/dark room (closet).

HI tc1,
You don't know how ive been worrying about that
After smoking for 40 years, i don't have good taste, but i was concerned with the flavors going bad. We can all take some comfort in the postings in two current threads. Kurt and others have been posting some good info in ; DOOMSDAY PREPPING and NICOTINE COMPARISONS. Kurt's posts are all current 1-25-13 to today. I know I feel better.

I just put in a good order of flavorings and PG from ecig express

Awesome. I've been trying to figure out where to buy my favorite flavors in bulk. That's pretty much in line with buying direct from TFA (not everything TFA sells in 4oz is $13 though).

Thanks!

Your Welcome, but your teaching me to rebuild the Drunker and A7, so thank you. Which do you prefer to rebuild?
I even ordered once direct from TFA for 2 flavors that I couldn't get in 120ml that i had to have. I paid $13 each and $11.40 shipping and they came in plastic bottles, but they were in a box. All TFA from RTS came in glass.

I am planning on ordering from WL once they get going again, but I've always used MFS and their nic is just fine to me. No different from more expensive nic that I used to buy from another vendor.

I'm sure their nic and everything is perfectly fine. But it seems like WL is definitely more cheaper and has pretty much all the equipment like 1ml. syringes etc... that I would need. I'm definitely in no rush so I will wait until they re open... I'm sure it'll be well worth the wait.

My only gripe about RTS is their labels. I've got a couple bottles of favoring from them that i have to identify by smell when i use it cause the printing rubbed off.

The A7 is very easy to just put a new wick into. I haven't figured out how to just replace the wick in the Drunker. BUT, the drunker is a lot more fun for me to rebuild.. so .. I guess it depends.

Good to know on buying from TFA. I guess that's out for me. I know their 4ml samples and 15ml flavors came in glass when I ordered, but if I'm buying bulk, it HAS to be glass. I don't have enough large glass bottles to transfer flavors to. RTS it is, then. They're my preferred vendor for FlavourArt anyway, so I'll just use them for TFA bulk. Plus, I basically get overnight shipping since they're closeby.

WL is worth the wait. They have the best and cheapest nic juice, great flavors at cheap prices, better packaging, great customer service and John is very knowledgeable about nic so he will explain anything you want to know (in detail) and he gives away freebies. His business has been growing like crazy. I think this is his 2nd move so that should say something about his products.

what flavor did you buy in 120mls?

 

[adeline]

what flavor did you buy in 120mls?

I got Cowboy in 120ml (I make 3 blends with this flavor, some of my favorites), Virginia in 30ml (haven't tried it, but everyone raves about it), and Vapure in 30ml (I make a decent Purecig clone). Then I got 10ml of every other tobacco flavor (at least the ones I haven't tried). The only FA tobacco I hate so far is Camtel. Ughhhh gross!

TFA flavors I plan to buy 120ml, so far, are Blueberry extra, Redbull (or whatever it's called now), and wintergreen.. But it's just the start of a list. Gotta figure out what I'll keep using. Blackberry will probably make the list.

Anybody that doesn't know- get on the e-mail list of all the DIY vendors.
20% off thru Thursday at MYFREEDOMSMOKES on nic 20NIC is the code

 

[subversive]

They always do the 20% off when I have no vaping money in the budget. It's usually right after I have placed an order. They do it once a month or so; I just need to be more patient about ordering.

RTS also has 20% off at times, makes the Made in the USA nic close in price to Wizard. I took advantage of that in Dec.

 

[JUDGMENT AFFIRMED]

Also, I read the thread on Vaping Zones concentrated flavors and got on their e-mail list and waited. They also had a 20% off sale in Dec.

Wizard labs site is still down and I would like to order some supplies... any suggestions on other good sites for ordering nic juice/pg/vg and supplies?

The thread Nicotine Comparisons, post 656, by Kurt, the chemist.
Now eveyone wants the discount code to RTS

I have strictly used RTS since they opened. Cleanest nic out there IMO and evidently Kurts testing proves that fact
