I've tried all 3 .. to me there is not much difference between the Ice and the Ultra, both are smooth and have little to no throat hit .. they are made in 2 different places, I believe John said the Ultra is made in India. The Regular is also very good, has more throat hit. All 3 are crystal clear. I am not an expert on the taste difference, I only use 4mg of nic in my juices so my opinion might be different than someone who uses higher % of nic and can taste more of it.

Why does ICE not yield any nic product when searching Wizard Labs site? Is this something that has to be specially requested? Is there a price difference? Sorry for the questions. Just ordered a bunch of stuff from there but never heard of ICE til I saw this thread.

It isn't on his website, I don't know why but many of us order it. You do that by ordering the regular nic and then, in the comments section of your order you write John a note saying you would like the ICE instead of the regular. Then you have to wait a few extra days because he keeps the ICE in a special sealed vat and only opens the vat thingie when he has several orders to fill .. something about it being under combustion or something I didnt understand when he explained it to me .. too technical for me :ohmy:

Thanks. I'll try that on my next order.

Confession time. Traded through the classys for a gift cert to another vendor. Thier base had high reviews last year. Whelp, it's got a horrible flavor, tastes like denatured alcohol smells...ugh.

Never again!

Its for this very reason I get the smallest sample possible when ordering a new to me nic base. I did not care for the regular base myself and I guess I wasn't alone as that is why the Ice is available---for those who don't care for the original.

Out of curiousity, what is it you do not like about the normal base?

I will preface this by saying I bought the original and sampled it almost a year ago so things may have changed since then. I could not get past the smell. This wasn't the first base I bought and the smell was very strong and noticeable in comparison. You should not read too much into this as the opinions on all the different bases out there will vary from person to person.

I agree. Some are more sensitive than others. I'll find out next week when I get my first order from WL. I have not been totally off analogs for very long so I doubt if I'd be able to detect anything amiss at this point. This is also my second attempt at DIY. Last years batches all went down the drain. We'll see how it goes this time.

I've noticed the purity this Ice nic delivers. All my other nic bases have a slight chemical taste. I only taste it when I put it down for a few minutes. With the Ice nic, I don't taste any impurities.

Welcome to the Ice Club .. I switched to the Ice 3-4 months ago, havent used any other nic since then, love it!
