OK when I dabbled in DiY juice I used Vape Clarity, it was wonderful. It was excellent quality and super smooth, loved it. Sadly due to Insurance bullshit they are no longer in business.

In my freezer I still have 2.5 litres 100mg of Vape Clarity and 2 litres of MFS. That's my FDA Apocalypse Stash and I'm looking to pick up a couple more litres. For the record I've never tried MFS, heard it was decent and I like the option of getting it in Glass which is why I got it. I've also tried Nude Nic, wasn't that impress for what I tried I found it a bit harsh.

I'm looking to pick up a couple more litres so I'm looking for some recommendations.

My go to is Vaperstek (non throat hit) but it comes with a cost. I don't generally bargain shop for nicotine but a liter from Chemnic is about half the price and so far seems fine. Given I've only tried a small sample of the 2 liters I currently have of it in my freezer. But its clear, no weird odor, and really no noticeable difference throat hit wise from the Vaperstek that I used exclusively up to that point.

In the UK just about everybody seems to use Darkstar, good nicotine, crap one shots haha. Similar thing just due to competition I think here but Pirate Vapes nicotine was the cleanest, smoothest I had, was a cut above Darkstar to me, sadly they went out of business too.

I'm about 200ml into my Chemnic and I like it better than the nic I got from Nic River.

One time I sampled that throat hit nic from vaperstek and honestly it just felt like I was vaping old nic. Not saying it's a bad thing necessarily but it had that peppery aftershock I've gotten from nic I've had out for a few months.

I mix mostly at 18mg. Of the 7 different nics. I've purchased, Chemnic comes in 10th. Mine is so harsh & nasty that I use it only for bug killer.

Most of what I have is Vaperstek TH nic. None has been peppery, so far. I bought a liter from ECX last summer, sampled it and it was ok.

I've been using vapers tek TH and changing between nude nic, old recipe. I can't tell a difference but I'm very low on the nic level in my base. I believe I would try Carolina extracts. I thought about getting 240 from them for storage.

Edit: 120 mls

I got Nic from them three different times and all have been great or I would not ever recommend it. Did you ever get in touch with them about your problems? They have always bent over backwards for me and others that I have read about....
Sorry to hear about your problems but it's not anything close to my experience.

Well, I guess I'm screwed both ways, BMI and nic...Fortunately, I haven't heard any noise from my company's insurance about testing. Then again I'm looking at MediCare in a few years, I hope they don't mess with me. Since they are the government they probably will...

Life insurance has tested for nic for a long time.

Back OT, I have had good luck with NicRiver and Nude. I won't order from them again however, since both of them and I are based in the PRC and they have a 28% tax added now... I don't know how that would affect folks out of state.

Today was not the first time I commented on their nic. Heck, there was a Chemnic thread they (he) participated in. Nobody reached out to me.

It was cheap. Less than 50 bucks a liter and I only bought one. I didn't feel like bothering to contact them and from comments made in the aforementioned thread, did not feel I would have any success. You mention "They have always bent over backwards for me". Were there problems? "others that I have read about.." seem to indicate other folks having problems?

Don't get me wrong! I'm glad you and others are happy with Chemnic. My experience as a 18mg mixer looking for clean-no/low TH nic. (that does not continue to numb my mouth 20 mins. after finished vaping) won't have me buying any more. Not when there are places like VT or NN or...

Heck, after reading hundreds of pages of internet nic. reviews, I can't recall any nic. vendor somebody has not had a problem with. With summer coming up, I'll have plenty of bugs to slay with my Chemnic. ;)

I agree VT and NN but I have not tried NN new formulations. I assume it's good. I know VT is good, both premium and TH, and their TH is not harsh. Mine is clear with little difference, that I can tell, than the premium with harshness as both are clean to me. If you are vaping higher levels maybe there's a difference. I well never know as 1 mg/ml about killed me two days ago.

Thanks for that NN info! The last nic. I got from them was around 6-7 months ago. I don't know if it was the new formulation you mentioned, but it is smooth and clean. I like it!
The last time I bought VT TH was around 1-2 years ago. I recently read a post somewhere that the VT TH they sell now is differently made than what I had bought.

I have the same VT TH as you. I didn't know they changed it. NN uses nic salts now. I need to research or see more reviews. NN normal 100/mg may be the original I bought. They also have two nic salts. One is TH and the other, I'm confused. If I bought from them I would get their regular 100 mg/no because, as I read it, that is their smooth version.

That's been my experience. I sampled the regular nic, thought it was super smooth, BUT I do prefer some TH, so always got that. It wasn't a ton of TH, always looked crystal clear. Any bottle I've opened from my freezer has still looked crystal clear, from a couple years ago. I've not tried their TH nic since they got a different one.

I sampled NN a few years back, thought it was as harsh as WL, AT THAT TIME. I've not tried either company's nic, since, but hear good things.

Interesting how NN has different opinions but VT is similar in opinions. I have both of VT and like both. It would be nice to know if their new TH is more TH than their old.

I started diy about a month ago and use Nic River. It's been smooth and clear with no peppery smell or taste. I vape at 6mg so I don't know if there is a difference at higher concentrations. It's the only brand I've tried, so I can't comment on the other recommendations you received.

I use MFS for my tobacco type recipes & Chemnic for desserts, etc.... I was so impressed with the CN from their samples that I picked up a gallon. It is nice to know that I have enough nic in freezing cold storage to essentially last my lifetime. I am DONE buying it. Bring on the Vape-ocolypse. :)

Is there a particular reason you use the mfs nic for tobacco recipes only? Thinking about ordering my first day stash from mfs but can't seem to find much on there nic quality here.

MFS has a faint tobacco taste to me and has a nice, bold throat hit. Perfect for tobacco type recipes, IMO.
