Well I ordered on 2/11..... It might be March before I see mine.
Im not upset at WL in anyway, I am more anxious as this will be my first order from them.

Daily updates on the site would be nice. Maybe just post what batches they are working on....
Something like.... "we are working on orders that were taken between 2/7-2/8 today"
Even that would be something.....

Oh well, I wish everyone luck on getting theirs and hopefully WL will be back to normal soon.
Hopefully its worth the wait :)

That would be nice but it doesnt seem like they are processing orders in that way. I would just love to have an update on what is going on. I really don't feel like bothering them with an email to ask but im slightly annoyed because I just got a ton of flavors and cant use them because I have to save the little Nic, PG, and VG i have for my proven mixes.

Im right there with you....

I just received my order from TPA for 2 different mixes. Bought enough to make 240ml of each....
I am OUT of nic atm....my normal supplier was sold out also.
Im sitting with about 100ml mixed RY4 and I am hoping that lasts until I can get WL order.....

Even if I run out the same day....I bought an ultrasonic mixer so 1-4hrs in that and Im good to go!

Worst case scenario Ill just drive to a local shop and buy a small bottle of something to get me by.

About 30ml base 60mg nic left! :(

I'm trying to hold out for WL's re-stock but man I'm hurting.. Have an order @ RTS ready but will give another day..

Have never tried RTS Nic but based on those in this thread having great success I may just opt for it and grab a nice 500ml of 100mg and have enough for awhile, lol :D

Hi Ictinike,
I think you might want to get it before RTS also sells out. Just a thought. The China New Year isn't over and then waiting on the boat.

lol this is why as soon as i see only one 120ml bottle left in the freezer im clickin that cart button

Ha! Yeah I misjudged timing on WL's move and their obvious client base demand.. I went through my last 60mg base in just under 3 months so I'm just cautious to purchase too much but next time, let me tell ya :)


Hi Ictinike,

Yeah, I have some things in the cart and for now, for some strange reason, I've not hit the order button. I tried to add some PG into the cart and they are out already so I'm trying to figure out recipes for my nic mg and pg/vg mix and I see RTS only provides it in 1 or the other base carrier. This complicates my mixes and for my standard 30ml @ 30mg RY4 I'll be short on PG so I'm trying now to mix and match values to make it work out or it just complicates things that don't have to me :p I really prefer a 50/50 blend @ 60 or 100mg nic from WL as it's easier for what I DIY..

Oh well, I outta pull the trigger or go nic'less for awhile more.. Analogs were a bit easier that way and could run down the store and get em :D

Nitrogen? WL uses nitrogen when they seal their bottles? Am I reading this wrong?

I thought for long term storage, one needs to store nic in a glass bottle.

i used to order one big jar but the way wiz seals it i would rather pay a little more for a bunch of small ones, so they stay in the freezer sealed and still have the nitrogen in them for maximum shelf life. and just pop one when needed.

you are correct. i havent even considered this, i just went to the site - i swear they said it was packed with nitrogen lol but i was wrong they use argon as it is more dense.

"We pack all of our Nicotine solutions with a blanket of Argon gas to help prevent oxidation during shipment"

may have to take it to work and repack it now as we have argon. but im sure i wont be on this same batch a year from now.

Argon is even better. I guess I never read that information on their site.

Actually, it STARTED years ago. Its ALMOST here.

must be why I've been stockpiling, once my latest order arrives I'll have enough of everything essential to last 4-5 years .. except for the DIY flavorings, PG and VG which I think will always be available since they're used in many other products.

Argon, wow. I was thinking with my homebrew kegging setup I could pump CO2 on top of it, vacuum seal it and be good. Argon would be so much better.

As someone who runs an ecommerce site for a medium sized business, I can tell you it ain't no walk in the park. It all snowballs on you- order processing breaks down, technical issues, something gets held up in port for customs, train schedules, etc. There are a billion variables, any three in combination is a perfect storm.

Hmmm..........

I am awfully glad I bought 500mls of 100 nic from WL in November. Its sitting untouched in several little jars in my freezer. I have about 250mls of 60mg left and I'll use about half of it in mixing this weekend.

but now.. I wish I had bought 2 more bottles of the 100mg... I'm not paying so much for RTS Nic. I just need to squirrel away my pennies and hope WL gets restocked soon. :nun:

Feeling alone in the wilderness... :tumble:

:cry: :cry:
