Based on the recommendations here, I planned to do a big 'starting out' order from BCV, but they seem to always be out of stock on some of the flavors I need - especially the more popular ones.
I've had the other supplies for a while, but making a list of flavors to buy, based on user input and the recipes I want to try, was the most time-consuming. I don't really want to wait any longer, and would like to minimize the number of vendors/orders, so are there any suggestions for other good vendors better at staying stocked on flavors?

if you find that place let us know !! hahaha kidding . I think you are going to find out its kinda hard for everyone to stay fully stocked on everything. I love bull city to death and I think drew does a great job to does everything he can to keep stocked up. there always seems to be something you are going to have to pick up somewhere else. I tried for a year to get rasta root beer from eicigexpress . everyone in the world was ordering it and every time I looked it was out of stock lol. but bull city has VT nic , the best pg and vg I have had, completely fair and competitive pricing, lots of sample sizing and quality flavors. there are a couple main places you are going to have to use to stay fully stocked all the time. not saying its the only place to shop but dont forget em either

whats become more frustrating than having to order from a few places is shipping , ahahhaha. BCV has great shipping prices when ordering flavors. its really @HeadInClouds fault. every time a recipe goes up everyone goes out of stock on it , lmao !!

Another shout out to Drew from me here. Placed another order last week for a handful of things I was running short on but only needed in small quantities. Fast shipping and Drew even threw in a couple freebies for me of things I had requested from him over a month ago (slow cause I hadn't placed an order in a bit) that were out of stock in the system. They were still out of stock when I went to order but just shot him and email asking if he happened to have any lying around.

Finally got to try FW Yellow Cake, took me long enough lol.

Fairly new to DIY and we placed our first few orders with BCV because of the large selection of flavorings and great prices. I was led there by wllmc singing their praises, and I must thank him for speaking so highly of Vaper'sTek nic. Because of this, I have not had to endure the trial and error of my nicotine adding unwanted nastiness to my flavor mixes ( which might have caused my SO to have a breakdown if it had happened ).

so decided to leave some nic for someone who might not have tried it but did get the cereal ones from TFA and a couple others . hoping the berry crunch is good.

Any news on the Berry Crunch? We've been looking for something like that.

hey ! sorry I missed this. glad you like the nic and bull city. I wasnt much for any of the cereals flavors. im sure if you messed with it a little it would be ok.

Never mind I'm a dumbness Wrong damn day of the week. Give a guy a couple of days off and he loses all track.of time. Well at least my cart will be all set unless it times out!

LOL - take a screenshot so you don't forget what was in there if it vanishes!

lirruping · Nov 30, 2014

I'm trying to place a flavor order at BCV and it's telling me "one or more items in my cart cannot be shipped to my location" --Puerto Rico. So.. I removed the Capella flavor and now there is only FA stuff and one TFA flavor (brown sugar extra) and I'm still getting this message. They are not answering the phone, so I thought I'd ask here: does anyone know if they do not ship to PR?
iT *is* listed as a choice on the dropdown menu... Clues would be greatly appreciated! Hate to miss this sale.

Perhaps shoot them an email, if you can't reach them on the phone?

lirruping · Nov 30, 2014

I'm on it, AmandaD

Edit: oh BOO! I am so cranky and tired of black friday. I'm just not organized enough. I thought I had this all figured out--multiple carts edited down into one. 20% off, free shipping--it was gonna be so great! *flops on bed in despair*

Hi lirruping, I think it should work now.

Yes! Thank you for all your efforts on my behalf, @Roundhouse. I know you've been swamped. My order went THROUGH!

OBDave · Dec 1, 2014

Well after lurking on here and in the DIY forums forever, I finally took the leap - just checked out with a massive 45-flavor order from BCV, looking forward to messing around a bit in the next few weeks. Just need to find somewhere to source a bottle of VG, as apparently BCV doesnt't have any at the moment...

They're out? Mine are both from Essential Depot, but you can get it at lots of places - Vaperstek is supposed to be good also! You can even buy it at the drug store or Walmart.

Completely out in all sizes, from what I can tell. I've been told local drug stores will carry it - is there anything I should look for, or any concerns I should have just picking up a liter or whatever from a Rite Aid or CVS? Trying to avoid a separate shipping charge on a single, relatively inexpensive item...

Huckleberried · Dec 1, 2014

I pick up from Rite Aid when I need VG in a pinch. You want Glycerin, USP. I find it in the first aid section in the pharmacy area. I think walmart has it in a similar area.

I don't think you can buy it in liters from drug stores, but if you have a tractor supply nearby they carry big sizes. Just make sure it says USP on the label. I've only seen really small bottles in Rite Aid (4 ounces or so?), so you'll still need to order it from somewhere - but that might get you through.

Cool, I'll check it out tomorrow.

Huckleberried · Dec 1, 2014

Yep. I've gotten the 4 ounce size. Works fine in the meantime. I got lucky with my BCV order apparently. I was able to get mine. Sorry OBDave.

Should be plenty to get me through some first round experimenting...and I was only able to score a couple 15ml samples of nicotine, supply was way down on that as well. Hoping all will be back in stock by the time I've got a handle on a couple flavors...

wllmc · Dec 1, 2014

I just want to take a minute to thank Bull City Vapor and the entire team down there. I have never had customer service any where like what I get at BCV. they are quick to respond to questions, always fast shipping and you get what you pay for. nobody is perfect and you cant please everyone but there are just some places that go above and beyond to make sure customers are satisfied. BCV is one of those places. I ventured out into unknown territory today and was hit with a reality check. not all online stores are created equally lol. so again for the millionth time thank you guys for being the honest fair company you are.

havok333 · Dec 1, 2014

I agree, BCV is easily the best place to buy your DIY stuff. Even if they're OOS on something I need, I just wait it out.

Or you can email and ask when it's coming in!

wllmc · Dec 1, 2014

ya its never that long. it might seem like forever but really its not and it will be back in stock lol. I can deal with that I cant deal with people that sell me something the turn around and cancel my order because they gave me the wrong price , refund my money and tell me I can pay 5 times more instead if I want to re order. ummmm no thanks Ill just take my money back and spend it at bull city lol.

Oh yeah, that sounds like total crap! I'd ask who these jokers are but I already know I wouldn't be trying them anyway.

Huckleberried · Dec 1, 2014

I 2nd for BCV and Drew's attention to the customer. Top notch service and prices, too. I'd even pay above pricing for the service Drew offers. He does it right! Great people.

Sent from my stupid iPhone because I don't have an Android.

HeadInClouds · Dec 1, 2014

Drew and BCV are trustworthy, honest, go a step beyond with customer service,they have more of my favorite flavorings than any other place, AND they have VT nic. Today I noticed they have VT nic already cut, low as 24mg. Thanks for making that available, guys! (I've been telling people VT only comes in 100mg...will have to remember this)

I waited till now to order. I was debating on to order now or wait till they had the FA espresso back in stock. I do like the simplicity of the web site.

Ditto that. I really like the way it's set up.

Lefty · Dec 2, 2014

I placed my first order with them. There was a small glitch with the discount code that only applied to one item anyway so I went ahead and placed the order. Drew straightened it out promptly and courteously at a time that had to be super busy for him. I'm impressed and will be ordering again I'm sure.

Roundhouse · Dec 2, 2014

@Artemis - will do!

Thank you all for everything! Also, for those of you still waiting on shipping notices, we should be getting the last of the orders from the sale out tomorrow.

CurlyxCracker · Dec 3, 2014

This is the reason I started this thread! I truly think of @Roundhouse as a good friend, not just another vendor! I'm so happy others are getting the BCV experience! My favorite place to shop, period.

aldenf · Dec 3, 2014

After reading all the glowing praise for BCV, I guess I'm the only one who has little nice to say. Other vendors have better prices on flavorings. I tried to order nic for almost two weeks. It was always OOS. If they can't keep nic in stock, sale or not, that's a big problem for me. Nic is the entire reason I do this. I don't have the time nor patience to sit hitting F5 every two minutes for hours on end. Availability of various flavorings is completely understandable. I can wait for a specific flavor to become available. VG, PG & NIC, however, are the staples of what we do. It's like a grocery store being completely out of milk & bread. Unless a hurricane or blizzard is landing tomorrow, it better be in stock... Just my two cents.

AmandaD · Dec 3, 2014

Did you email them and ask them when it was coming in? Wizard Labs used to have that problem also - nic would go out of stock and there would be a wait. Not an uncommon issue!

Thanks, Amanda. I didn't bother. I just went direct to the source. VT had everything in stock...

I guess the commonness of vendors being out of nic is why DIYers get a liter at a time. Heck, a liter should last me the better part of a year or longer.

Don't hesitate to shoot Drew an email. He'll get back promptly. Things happen. I know that his last order of vg was lost in the mail and had to be resent. Things happen. Sorry you didn't have such a great experience as the rest of us, but don't shut out BCV just yet!

Pillzee · Dec 3, 2014

First post evah! But I have to give my two cents on BCV. I am just getting into DIY and for the cyber Monday deal I ordered a bunch of flavors. Order went through no problem and everything was correct. I got it in a day too! Well maybe because I am only two towns over from them

I think I know where I shall be getting my stuff from here on out.

Welcome aboard Pillzee.

I got my Sunday sale order today, too. I'm several states away. BCV is just that awesome. And I was finally able to get his VG/PG!

Got my BF order today too! No order has ever taken more than 2-3 days to arrive.

Now gotta buckle down and work on this FA Tomato flavoring that I've been so curious about.

Huckleberried · Dec 4, 2014

Oh yeah! You'll definitely need to share your thoughts on that one! Several are curious. I have a lot of new flavors to play with this Friday!

Yes, I'll definitely post tomato results in the bigazz FA thread. Been trying some INW tobaccos tonight which I'm really impressed with so far. And @wllmc turned me onto this Caps Juicy Orange which is the best orange vape I've ever had. Mowed through 5ml so far in less than two hours, lol.

Huckleberried · Dec 4, 2014

Really? I'll have to add that to my list. I'm always up for a really good orange!

OBDave · Dec 4, 2014

Shipped today! Should be 2-3 days from coast to coast...I've got about 30-40ml left of store-bought juice that I actually like, hoping I'll be up and mixing in the week or so it will take me to burn through this. Thanks for all the updates and the quickness, BCV!

OBDave · Dec 6, 2014

Playtime! Thanks again, Bull City!

Huckleberried · Dec 6, 2014

Make us something good OBDave!

OBDave · Dec 6, 2014

20 minutes home from work and I've discovered:

1. Syringes have caps on them that need to be removed if you expect them to work.
2. Syringes are labeled single use only - really? I want to wash mine out with hot water, dry, and re-use at least a few dozen times...someone tell me if I'm an idiot for doing this.
3. Mixing single flavors is easy, and eJuice Me Up rocks.
4. Made up some TFA Maraschino Cherry for the wife, FA Summer Clouds for me - both 3mg at 3%. Good, but a little weak - may push for 4.5% or so on the next round.
5. I'm gonna love mixing, especially since I just created 24ml of juice for about $1.30...
