this is not intended vendors or people who sell juice commercially. I dont know any of the pricing on that and have to reason to inquire. this is for the average guy who makes juice for himself and maybe a handful of friends. when you are new to DIY or just deciding who to choose for your next nicotine order its sometimes hard to decide where who to buy from. there are tons of places to buy it from but from what I understand only a few sources. 5 different places you are looking at might sell the exact same thing with different stickers. how the company handles and stores the nicotine will make a difference in the quality. I know this from my own trial and error storing my own nicotine.
when you start buying nicotine I would suggest as most things buy a small quantity. when you start searching you will see everyone " has the best nicotine". you have to try it yourself. I say that all over the place in different forums and in life. you can not go off what you see on some internet site. the internet is full of misinformation and trolls out there as we all know. there are a handful of different vendors out there that do have unique to their brand flavors. the best one is the one that gives you the results you are looking for. if you want a lot of throat hit you may prefer one brand or if you want a smooth clean taste you may want to try another. if you want in between there are options for that to lol. there are cheap sample sizing options to try from most places now.
so lets get down to numbers. that what matters right. can I continue to make my own juice cheaper than buying at the store. there are obviously other reason but cost is most definitely always a factor. can you say pennies !!!!!! literally pennies. as of the date of this post no matter who you choose as your prefered vendor your cost of nicotine is one of the cheapest parts of DIY. everything below this point is not intended to compare vendor A's nicotine vs vendor B's nicotine rather than cost. there seems to be this myth that there is a massive price difference from different vendors. this is just not true. don't forget to add your shipping cost in there
I punched in the numbers in a eliquid cost calculator. for the nicotine I use and is considered to be the higher priced nicotine vaporstek. I personally vape 6mg juice and buy 240 ml at a time. the cost of my nicotine per 1 ml is one penny !!!!!!! I can make 4 liters of ejuice out of a 240 ml bottle. thats crazy. it really wasnt worth doing the math on the rest of the companies because no matter what thats the most you will pay to date. your nicotine cost are extremely minimal. use the nicotine you prefer. naturally cost will go up if your nicotine level is higher than mine. 12mg is 2 cents per ml and makes 3 liters, 18mg is 3 cents and makes 2 liters and 24mg is 4 cents and makes 1 liter. I can get 240 ml of 100mg vaperstek shipped to my house for 41 dollars and I can get wizard labs 250 ml of 100mg nic shipped to my house for 36.64. a whopping $4.36 difference.
in conclusion to all this rambling the key point is what do you want from your nicotine and what is it you expect from a vendor. do your research and decide for yourself.
-----this is where it might sound like a commercial but its my post and my opinion lol-----------
personally I chose vaperstek as my nicotine supplier. they offer high quality nicotine for a few buck more than the others but they also have a 2nd line now for those who like TH for cheaper than all the others. another reason I chose vaperstek is the customer service. also as of todays date vaperstek is very active in the DIY community here and also on ECF I believe. if you have questions or concerns it very easy to get ahold of them. when I buy things online I never say who I am , not that I am anyone important but I dont want people think I am looking for freebies. I am more than willing to pay for everything I need. today I got a call from vapertek and asked how I was liking the nicotine and offered to send me a sample of the new nicotine with throat hit because he seen me talking about it here on vaping underground . thats just crazy man. who else does that. I gladly accepted the offer and turned around and ordered some more VT for myself. the only guy to have ever beat me on the one up contest is drew at bull city vapor but thats a different thread and a different story lol. if you are reading this drew its not not over yet hahaha.
