I've used both Wiz Labs and ecigexpress nicotine, and both seem fine. I will say this, though: ecigexpress's packaging leaves a GREAT deal to be desired; it was a simple childproof bottle enclosed in a ziplock bag, and when I got it, the inside of the ziplock was extremely wet with what appeared to be the contents of the bottle... which was 100mg nicotine, so I had to open the bag and clean up the mess with gloves on, before I could do ANYTHING with re-bottling the nicotine into glass bottles. So I probably won't buy from them again, and will go back to Wiz Labs, which enclosed the bottle in 3 ziplock bags, and none of them was wet with anything on the inside. The only real downside to ordering from Wiz Labs is that they're in FL, and FL's postal service is a joke; one state line away from me, and it takes 1-2 wks to get ANYTHING from anywhere in that state.

Thank you Andria! How is the flavor from wizardlabs nicotine? I'm hoping to find one that gives no additional taste or color/smell than the flavoring I mix into the juice.

Well, I can't say I really detected any flavor that I could isolate and think "that's the nicotine." But I've heard over and over that nicotine does have a taste, which is why some people can vape "unflavored" -- they say it tastes somewhat like a "light" or "ultra-light" cigarette. I've also heard over and over that the quantity of nicotine influences the "throat hit" -- but again, I don't know if that is *always* true, because I vape 6mg Virginia from MyFreedomSmokes, and it has a really great throat hit, even at 6mg. Whether that's because it's 85% Pg, or because they add some other ingredient that provides the TH (such as "Flash"), I really don't know.

I do know that the Wiz Labs nicotine has no particular smell, and considering that my sense of smell is so keen that it's more burden than gift, that's probably saying a lot. Then again, I didn't notice any particular smell from the ECX nicotine either, I just thought their packaging truly sucked. I also know that a lot of folks around here will swear by Wiz Labs for their nicotine and for other chemicals, and it does seem to be a very professional organization -- the 3 ziplock bags, the shipping box marked "Fragile" even though the bottle inside the bags was plastic -- to me this indicates a high level of professional ethics, a quality that seems to be missing from a lot of organizations these days -- such as the FDA. :D But that level of professional ethics is why I'll be going back to Wiz Labs for my nicotine. Their prices are also extremely competitive.

I should add I'm making high VG juice for sub ohm dripping btw. I'm sensitive to pg/throat hit as are my friends who will be mixing with me to find flavors we like. Will vapers tek satisfy me as far as not having a raw throat?
Dude, When I first tried the stuff. I did some serious lung hitting with my wife's usual 24 mg. It was very smooth. Next thing I knew I was sitting down from the huge buzz. :D I lung hit 6 mg on a daily basis. I had to drop it down on my newly purchased Super T 26650.

I have tried WL, ECX, and NN, and between them, NN is far and away the winner. I could tell little difference between WL and ECX, with WL coming out slightly ahead. I'd take Jimi's word for it, though - he's a master of this stuff!

Awesome! I plan on only dripping 3mg and maybe 6 from time to time. Anything over that would wreck my throat.

What is NN?

As Jimi said, if you're looking for reduced TH and minimal flavor from your nic, then VT is the way to go.

If you want more TH and minimal flavor from your nic, then XV is the way to go. (Jimi didn't say that part, I did.)
