Nic comparison_trim.jpg
From left to right: Distilled water (a little tough to tell that it's nearly full), RTS's 60mg in VG (3 mo old), Wizard Labs 36mg PG (received Saturday), GoodProphets 36mg VG (1 month old). For what it's worth, the Good Prophets appears a good bit darker on my monitor than it does in real life, of course your monitor may be different. It is obviously yellowed-tinted regardless.

Note: Nic bases have been kept away from heat sources and in the dark, but not refrigerated. The Wizard Labs came in an opaque plastic container - I poured it into this bottle to facilitate this image.

This Wizard Labs nic is pretty darn good stuff IMHO. There is a slight odor both in smelling the bottle and exhaling through the nose (the RTS is very easy to smell, but of course is nearly twice as strong). I think it stands up very well against RTS's product at the same strength and I'm not sure I could tell the difference between them.

Given the fast and friendly service, borderline-neurotic packaging, fast order fulfillment, low prices, and quality of the products, I have settled on making Wizard Labs my new nicotine base and flavoring supplier without hesitation. I really don't see how you could go wrong here and I'm grateful to have found this company.

More to come...

Well, for what its worth I guess I am the only one to have them take (what seems like) forever to get my package shipped. I ordered on the 11th and it only went to the post office yesterday the 14th very late in the day. Asked for priority mail and still don't have an estimated delivery date (post office fault not WL.)

Perhaps they were backlogged on what I ordered, but I only ordered things in stock and while it was a lot of different things, only one of each. Hopefully this is an abnormality and not standard, because every other vendor I order from if I order on wed I have it in my mail box Friday afternoon, Saturday morning at the latest.

Kinda bummed because this was my only free weekend for a while and I won't have a weekend to mix again for at least a month, so I could only mix up what flavors I had here, not any of the new ones I was hoping to try that I ordered.

I don't know if is typical or not, but I think I'll clarify my statement that they were "fast" at fulfillment. My first (and only so far) order was placed in the middle of the night on Tue the 10th and was shipped on the 12th, so it was out the door on the 2nd business day from the time of order. I still consider that to qualify as "fast", but I guess others may not so now everyone can make their own call there. Had it been as long as your order took, I would have been mildly disappointed. On the plus side, it's good to know things may go out on a Saturday.

One of my favorite things about the ordering was that the price of admission is so low - I was able to order a the largest variety of flavors I've ever ordered (that being a dozen) in addition to a number of other items (5) without breaking the bank. The "borderline-neurotic packaging" probably doesn't help here. Given the glass vials in this order, I'd take the the packaging over shipping a day earlier if given the choice.

The one other thing I can contribute is that I did hear that things are unusual there (partly on account of recent competitor actions) and also preparing for the site upgrade this weekend.

How about everyone else? How long did your order take to ship?

I have to say I am quite pleased. Package arrived, and while I was concerned our rural location and postal office that doesn't give much of a care would completely shatter all my items, even though the box was quite damaged, it was still sealed, and everything was so well protected nothing was broken. That right there guarantees I will buy from WL again. I also as others have said got some freebies, 2 marked pipettes and an extra smaller vial of Bavarian cream. Which is good I guess, I do like me some Bavarian cream.

I did not get any nic base (I had ordered from another supplier just 2 days before hearing about WL) so can not comment on that, but the flavorings smell divine and my 250 ml flask and 100 ml graduated cylinder are better than the ones I used to have, markings appear to be painted on quite thick, which will work well for me (my old ones had the markings wear off in less than 3 months.)

I will be doing my first DIY tomorrow once I can have a kid free, animal free patio outside to work. I will report back in somewhere I am sure with what I come up with haha, this looks to be like quite a fun new hobby for me, its been years since I had a reason to use my hard won chemistry skills.

I just recieved my first order from them, my box was half crushed and the corner was torn off, however the packaging kept everything safe and dry. I haven't vaped anything as of yet, I have plenty of stock, but the 100mg nic and the PG/VG I ordered looked clean and smelled good. It only took 4 days from placing the order to delivery at my home in Wa state, so I'm plenty happy with the delivery time as well :) I'll let you know what I think of the taste when I get around to them. So far I'd deffinately order from them again......You can't beat the prices and shipping was free :)

got first order in from WL today. haven't vaped it yet but I can say that it is light brown in color. a bit scared about that. I've only been using RTS so far and that was crystal clear, so I may be spoiled. WL order was packaged superbly, but not a big fan of the wide-mouth bottles. made it a bit tricky to transfer to my smaller bottles for distribution.

update: Sent WL a messages asking them about the color. here is their response, which btw came to me moments after I sent my inquiry....

"All orders are mixed fresh individually and are clear to pale yellow depending on the strength when they leave our lab.The 99.8% extract that we use does tan a little quicker in reaction to PG and VG than some others on the market since we don't use any additives to keep them clear. While most customers really like our extract, there are request from some customers and vendors for a nicotine solution that is more mild and clear than our original.For that reason we've been testing out a new 99.9% pure extract for the last month in our lab.

Although the current bottle you have is safe to use, I'd still like to send you out a fresh replacement anyway.

I'll add your replacement to tomorrow's mix record and get it sent out to you Priority Mail."


Can't wait to vape this stuff and give it a try. Have to say their customer service is exceptional. also, just for the record. my order was 60mg in PG base.

I dropped mt chai tea to 5% 10 was a little to strong for me

Thanks for the follow up, Shawn.

I was going to comment on your suggestion, but my testing was a pretty "quick and loose" sort of deal, so I didn't want to share something I had low confidence in. I will now anyway :p

I hadn't measured precisely but I'm pretty sure I was around 4% and it was already very flavorful (I had been testing a couple ml of flavorless and added ~.06ml to it). That chai must have really been something @ 10% :ohmy:

I'd check out the Earl Grey too (it's a similar but distinct flavor). It's very accurate to the Earl Grey's I've had and the smell is just perfect. I sampled that the same way as above - perhaps it's obvious now I was comparing two flavorless juices [and yes, I'm definitely sticking with Wizard Labs :2cool:].

Anyways...I only have a hint of what they're like so far, but I think I'm going to actually like the Earl Grey more. I had not yet added sweetener to either, but I do think I'll need some EM or something in them, particularly the Chai. Maybe a little vanilla or some sort of cream too?

I'm also tempted for some reason to add the blueberry to the Earl Grey. Hmmm.. (this is fun, isn't it?)

Enjoy! :vapor:
