So my nic showed up today. Sat or something got a ticket in the mailbox sorry we missed you, we're a bunch of assclowns, whatever. Said the package was in a locker at the post office. Tried calling to confirm and of course usps doesn't answer their phones. Today it arrives, smashed to hell. Not sure how the nic survived. I'm looking at pics of it and see where it says 'base: pg/vg (50/50)'. Hmm, I ordered 100% pg. Checked the packing slip, sure enough base - propylene glycol. Looked through the bottle with a light behind it and tipped the bottle up, little bubbles slowly transferring through the 50/50. I know bubbles don't hang like that in pg, it's like water.

At this point it feels like a competition to see who cares less. Delosi (dba nicbase) couldn't be bothered to give a shit, then usps one upped them with absolutely zero fucks given.

Someone definitely punched the dumb button. I've had very good luck with them in the past.

Are there any other places to get DIY still? Per usual, I'm very late and I still have not gotten any. Now I'm a;so hearing giant vapes and ejuices.com are taking orders for liquids and not sending them or supplying bogus tracking. So it's all falling apart finally?

The only places I've got nic from have been delosi, wizard labs.

i got it right after 18 months and a lot of experimenting and friends opinions
some people add.0.5% sugar. its good but it gives you that sugar taste on your lips.

Same as inganeer said, delosi (nicbase, same co) or wizard. Wizard you have to call, then contact them for price list. They wanted more for the 1L before shipping than nicbase wanted for 1L with shipping. I think cxt is still selling, (lawn/garden use or something) and had heard there was a holdup for awhile on pg based was it? Not positive.

Something's going on though, for the past couple of years I've been into diy have heard nothing but rave reviews of cxt. Being premium, no peppery taste etc etc, super clean. The last month or two have seen a number of people less than pleased. Funky odor, peppery, this or that. And from what I've seen no rush on cxt's part to make it right. Not sure if it's a hiccup or the state of things now, drop in quality (certainly not price) but caught me by surprise a number of displeased folks voicing about cxt. Don't think I'd seen one negative comment/review about them up until recently.

As far as flavorings, bullcity, wizard, diyvs maybe. Probably a few others. Nic river/river supply went tits up for consumers, wholesale only. I think liquidbarn is still going though haven't seen larger bottles of vg available on their site for quite awhile. The nic was to be expected, what I wasn't expecting was so many places to either close or go wholesale and take it all off the table for consumers. Pg, vg, flavors, none of which are restricted.

@jcash74 sent this lovely Purge squonk my way to check out. And now it's not leaving, lol. In return, he'll have some sweet Swiss made vape mail from me this week.

Also received some Modmaker BF 510 bits for my collection of spare squonk parts.

Well hopeful news on the nic. After emailing them via the online form and no response, tried calling last week and missed them by minutes (didn't realize nicbase and delosi were the same company at the time and based out of Florida so an hour ahead). Called again today and got ahold of a guy. Pretty nice service rep. Told me they've been fighting with their internet and apparently their phone service runs through voip over the same wonky internet. Dropped the call, called back. Had him on long enough to have me send pics so he could confirm. Said they'd be shipping a replacement out. Will see when it gets here but fingers crossed. Sounds promising anyway.

Let the long list of email begin. Ordered a slugger, cofirmed. We don't have a slugger. Huh. We can do splitter and X. Eh, ok. We have black with orange SLATTER in stock. I really would like black with orange INLAY. Ok, we can do that, but gonna be an extra long wait. No problem, I am in no hurry, would like it to be the way I want. EXTRA long wait..................

Somebody punched the "we already have splatters made up and don't want to paint more" button ;):cuss2:

Reminds me of Burger King.

I told my husband I was just going to start going to the drive-through order screen and tell them, look, I've got 15 dollars, just throw whatever you want in a damn bag. Might as well, because that's what you get anyway.

This was years ago, when my kids were little. Invariably I'd get home and what I had in the damn bag bore no resemblance to what I had ordered. Then I'd have three little kids (and myself) whining, "I don't like this." Hubbs will eat whatever, so he just thought the kids and I were ridiculous.

Ain't that truth. Happens to us all the time.

Well generally speaking I will vape whatever, lol, but not at that price. I want it to be the way I want it.

I can remember mcdonalds did that to me once. I was ordering lunch for the whole shop so had everything written down what they all wanted. Boss tells me he wanted a big mac, no lettuce. I'm not pawing through everyone's lunch so I head back, boss opens his burger. He's like wtf? Big mac, two burgers, 3 buns, JUST lettuce. Nothing else just a dry as fuck burger.

At least the manager took care of it. Thought not sure how they stayed in business. Like 5 orders so they comped us 5 of the whatever sandwiches they had, can't remember if it was the arch deluxe or whatever the biggest burger they had at the time. They screwed up like that and comped us roughly every couple of weeks. They would suggest coming back but it's like you don't get it. It's a 30min lunch, you guys are 10min away and it's lunch hour rush. Takes damn near 15min just to get through the line, like no. Not doing that shit again today.

Same happened to me- When working I would run and grab the bosses lunches occasionally at McDonalds- they(bosses) would give me extra time and pay for mine- every single time something was wrong or missing- until I went in- never had that problem again, but had to get out of my car and go in.
We would joke that I could order our lunch and have it delivered by a Chinese restaurant never once a mistake, and trust me they barely spoke English- but going thru the McDonalds drive thru- where everyone spoke English and understood it and are American- tons of mistakes every time-
:kickbutt:

Yep! That was also one of our lunch spots, a local chinese food place. Same comments were shared at the shop. Man and woman there barely spoke a lick of english, half the time you'd mention something and they just nod. Or mumble something over the phone, but damn if they weren't on point. Like come on McD's, get your shit together.

Only once the past several years can I remember there being a mistake on chinese food and it was my mom's order. She requested 'snow peas' and they gave her a dish with 'no peas' lol. Similar with vape mail. Now I've had stuff from china get lost and never make it (rare but happened). But I've never gotten the wrong product (yet), the wrong color etc. Always as ordered. The few mishaps I've had with getting the wrong atomizer model, wrong juice, wrong nic etc were all american/u.s. places sadly.
