The Daily Mixing Thread

[AndriaD]

I used to order vaperstek's TH nicotine, but last summer they apparently stopped carrying it; did they ever get it back? I just switched over to getting nic at ECX, since I buy a couple of additives there (Flash mainly, though I think BCF finally started carrying that -- but I use so little of it anymore, I think eventually I'm gonna be done with Flash completely -- it makes my nose feel like a just snorted up black pepper!). ECX's nic is fine; no better or worse than others'. What I really like is that you can order the half-liter (500ml) size.

The TH nicotine usually looked a bit pinkish.

Last bit of nicotine, so went with what never fails me!

My nicotine is more dark pink than purple, after looking at it again

Just checked, they do. Don't know why they quit at some point, must've been a supply thing

 

[RugBurnRed]

Vaperstek is the only place I get my nic, decent shipping last time I checked, that and their PG nicotine is pretty smooth for PG based.

I really like Vapers Tek premium nicotine. I did get a bottle from NicRiver recently that I have yet to try. Will try soon.

I'm pretty sure that they started using a different brand/supplier for the throat hit nic. I've wanted to try it but... I'm lazy and just grab a 120 of the premium stuff when I need it.

 

[Just Frank]

Yeah BCF is just plain better.

I'd say faster and have better labels on the bottles. But NicRiver is cheaper most of the time and have their own flavor line. An argument could be made for either.

 

[RonJS]

So I made two orders last Friday afternoon. One from BCV and one from NicRiver. The one from BCV is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow and the NicRiver order has not been processed yet.

Just got an email from ...

I got my order from NicRiver today. So I made testers 15ML per-

• FLV-Mango
• FLV-Boysenberry
• FLV-Wild Melon
• INW-Mango
• INW-Peach
• INW-Pear
• INW-Melon
• INW-Watermelon

I did 1% for the Flavorah and 2% for Inawera. I tried the watermelon right away and it tastes floral, or like soap! Lol

 

[Letitia9]

I have BCF on my desktop and get what I can from them. Use ECX for everything BCF doesn't carry and NR for Purlium only. Get nic salts from LNW, they have the cheapest shipping and happy with product. Ordered 240ml 100mg for 28.99 + 4.16 ship - 5.80 discount = 27.35. Get my amber rounds from glass bottle outlet.
Finally got to mix today. 8 recipes and 4 singles. Did screw one up, forgot the decimal. Used calculator to try to fix it. Guess I'll know in a couple of weeks if the fix worked.

I have seen Sugar cookies and cream by Chrisdvr1 on ATF show up on a number of other sites and with high praise, I finally gave in a got the needed flavors to mix it up-I hope it taste as great as I have read. https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/7775#sugar_cookies_and_cream_by_chrisdvr1

All calibrated and ready to go leave my ghetto scale alone. LOL I tell myself I am going to replace it every week and never do.

True...and instead of preparing email excuses, better the time was spent shipping orders. Unfortunately, there's an easy way to prevent future order deluges. (Offer a smaller holiday discount )

The rumor I heard regarding any possible BCF delays is that some soft hearted person there unshackled wllmc from his workstation for 5 whole minutes on both Saturday and Sunday last .
Of course, it's only a rumor and maybe didn't actually occur.

Deek's is quite excellent, but be prepared to let it steep for a few weeks. It's very worth it, though.

My god this Flavorah Mango...
If you're into tropical fruit you might want to try it. At 1% its jam packed with juicy mango goodness.

What 4 singles?

FW fruity flakes 5%
LA grape 4%

Are these for you to taste them first time, or vape alone?

Testing, and only about 40 more to go. That doesn't include the incoming flavors from BCF. Way behind with single testers. Feels too much like homework.

I am getting close to cancelling my order. These type of continuing delays repeatedly sends up a lot of red flags to me about their financial fitness. I thought that NicRiver was so much bigger than say BCF. Why doesn't BCF have all of these issues? I got my 52 item order delivered today that was placed the same day, but NicRiver can't seem to get my order even ready to ship! This is really beyond "usual and customary". I really like some of the Purilium flavors, but I just don't feel comfortable with the mounting excuses for the delays in getting paid for product shipped in reasonable time frame.

When I hear about stuff like this (huge delays in processing and shipping) I worry mostly about if this company is running into financial problems. I just don't see how they could have this type of backlog when BCV has never had any issues with expediency, regardless of . If they are so big they should have a streamlined operation in place IMO. No excuses for this type of BS. What will be the next excuse they try to give customers?

The SC Pineapple is another flavor that caught me off guard. Really nice representation of pineapple!

Nailed it. I hope I don’t run out of nicotine before my order arrives. If I don’t have it next week sometime then I’m going to a different supplier for nicotine.

The good news for me is I have over 450 flavors, a gallon of VG, 500ml of PG and 450ml of Vapors Tek Premium nic and 500ml of NicRivers 100ml NicShield (which I have not even opened yet). If I do not get a confirmation that my order will ship tomorrow, I will call and ask for my order to be cancelled and why.

You dont have to eat your meat, you can get this mix this up and vape it!

Still waiting for FA Savory Ribeye and Lemon-Herb Grilled Salmon Steaks by Flavorah. My collection will not be complete until then...

I'm enjoying the HS pineapple. Hoping for another good one in SC. The others I have are so light. They an't hold their own with other flavors.

You might be right; the pkging is definitely different.

If you like their expensive nicotine, you might not be happy with the TH nic; there's nothing wrong with it, in fact it's probably identical to other vendors' nicotine, but it's not the super-refined that is claimed to be so "smooth" -- and doesn't cost that much either. To me, nicotine is nicotine, and if there wasn't some TH, I wouldn't feel I was vaping, so y'all can keep that "smooth" crap. I certainly wouldn't pay more to be less satisfied!

Both are really good. For possible positive flavor complexity, mixing them together is on my "to-do" list.

I enjoy having phat clouds. Looking for a vape that makes the biggest clouds. Money is not the problem and I vape on 0 nic. Some of my friends have suggested the the gx350 with a tfv12 but idk. I want some other advice.

 

[Hillbilly Pig]

Didn't know vaperstek changed suppliers for it, but I only checked the store page so that's my bad. As for mixing:

Strawberry Milkshake clone(WIP)
Mango shake Version 2.0
Raspberry Yogurt(WIP)
Dragon's Grove(WIP)
Mango Raz Sherbet(WIP)

Anyone got a recipe that tastes like the Superman Ice cream?

This is the general discussions about DIY e-juice mixing subsection. You can navigate to the appropriate category of the forum by clicking on "Forums" first (look above the thread title near the top of the page where it says Home > Forums > DIY E-Liquid - (Do it yourself) > DIY E-Liquid - General Discussion ), from there you can visit the cloud chaser's section...

Back to back orders for me. I really like the Purilium flavors that I have tried and I an not purposely throwing shade their way. Once I excuse, twice in less than 1 month and then all of the excuses from them have me a bit concerned. I am in Texas. NicRiver is on the left coast and BCF on the right coast. I am about half way in between. I guess I am just unlucky.

I stayed up till midnight too to use the code. I was SO tired, and barley made it. But guess what? It didn't work. Then I remembered they were in Cali lol. There was no way I was gunna stay up till 2am. So I ordered the next morning (friday) at about 10:00. Mine showed up yesterday using the USPS free shipping. I wanted to get in early to avoid what others here are experiencing. No way I was stayin up all nite tho lol.

I kinda use NicRiver like I use Fasttech. They have great prices but I expect to maybe wait a little longer. Not 3-4 weeks, thats why I said "kinda". I've used them four times and my package was in the mail within a day or two every time. I've used Bullcity maybe a dozen times. They usually had my order in the mail the same day.

It's not as bad if you can get USPS, but if you get nicotine or any flavors that are considered flammable, it has to go ups or fedex. Then you're screwed.

Yeah most of the time. I chose USPS for my BullCity order and it seems to be in limbo. It left Raleigh 4 days ago and hasn't shown up anywhere. I really thought it would be here today. Another order I made in the south east got hung up in Memphis a few days. Maybe tommorow...I hope lol. These are my first glitches with usps and blame black friday. You're right tho. I dont care for ups or fedex.
