Info here is as of August 10, 2015.

When you want to try a new flavoring, no need to spend $3+ for bottles you might not even like. You can get a larger variety cheaper if you buy small, sample sizes. Here are a three four sources:

mamajsflavorshop.com sells 3ml bottles of FlavourArt for $1.50 (tobacco flavors are more). Shipping is super fast and cheapest I know, too.

purevapes.com has 3ml bottles of FlavourArt flavorings for $1.50 ($2 for tobacco flavorings). Look under the DIY section. Shipping is very cheap, around $2.50 for a bunch of small bottles.

eliquidmart.com has 5ml of FlavorArt and Capella for $1.79 and 12ml at $2.99 (more for tobaccos). Shipping starts around $3.50 for a bunch of small bottles.

bullcityvapor.com sells 10ml bottles of FlavorWest and The Flavor Apprentice flavoring for $1.75. A few tobaccos and additives are more. Their 13ml of Capella are $2.50 and in original factory packaging. Their 10ml FlavourArt ($3.25 and up) and Inawera ($3.49 and up) flavorings are also in factory packaging. So are their Hangsen ($2.95 and up) 10ml bottles. They also sell some super concentrates. Their shipping starts around $3. If you want original packaging and/or flavors from several different brands, this is the place.


They all offer larger sizes, too - but that's another subject.

+1 on High Desert Vapes, Thanks Egomama! That's the only place I know to get 3ml samples of Nature's Flavors ($1.99). They also carry TFA, FW, and Capella. They have great sales, fairly often - then their prices are very competitive.

Flowerpots, far as I know Wizard Labs doesn't sell anything less than 10ml. Didn't realize they're expanding again! It hasn't been long since their last move.

WL sells 8ml bottles for 1.50. I have only been ordering from there due to being affordable, but I really need better variety than La and TFA. Thanks for the info here!

v-ecigs.com (Vice's) has 8 ml TFA for $1.99. The customer service is outstanding & shipping has always been very reasonable. That's not the cheapest price for TFA sample size, but I can vouch for the quick service & great assistance that I have received.

I liked E-liquid-Mart, ordered on 14th, arrived on 17th - awesome. They don't seem to carry FA Cinnamon Ceylon however, got that at ECX, which also had a couple key FA flavors on clearance for $1.99/10ml. Jumping headfirst into HIC recipes and unfamiliar with FA, the 5ml samples are perfect for my wallet. Well, almost free.

I found this recommendation after my WizLab order, or I would have gotten my TPA from BullCityVapor. I think I'll order my base supplies from here next time, but a $10 flat rate kicks in for big bottles so I'd have to hit the $75 free shipping mark to keep the wallet happy. That'll be a few months. I put in a request for TPA Cranberry as well as they don't seem to have it... yet. I need it to make HIC's macaroon bars, puckered ginger ale, and tropical cranberry punch.

Thank you for putting that request in. I love that macaroon bar!

Wanted to check out High Desert Vapes but I don't visit non-secure sites. They need to get with the times!!!

lol, thats a bit further back than I'd like to go! Hell, even 1922 sucked! Even though I'm disabled, I went back to college a couple years ago for an associates - IT Systems Specialist - It was free and I actually made $10k between scholarship refunds and internship. I just got a taste of what's possible (cyber wise) so I am now very cautious as to what sites I visit. Someone with experience (more than me anyhow) could make their site secure in about 45 minutes so it's not a big task. I could do it, but it would take me a full day and I'd probably mess something up and crash the site in the process, lol

Much like when I went to Culinary school (and throughout my career) - I learned things that would keep a lot of people from ever going out to eat again!

Actually, it might take about 15 minutes if one really had desire to do it. Far as I'm aware it is basically phoning up a certificate authority, applying, getting the certificate handshake. HTTPS itself is easy enough, a server directive in the http.conf file. That might take a minute a to do. The rest lies in getting certification from an independent "authority". This where the "Web Of Trust" idea comes into play.

Yes, other http servers exist. 98 to 99% running on the web use Apache. Apache became the standard back in the mid 1990's after the CERN http servers were shown to be fully insecure and untenable. They would not allow for adaption, growth, continuing operations past static content.

Wife's bro in law had to call her to ask me how to fix an issue with an http server. I was dead to the world asleep and responded to the issue with three different ways to sort it out. Two involved actual permissions for the server, the other a configuration issue easily addressed by resolving the permissions issue. I told him exactly which file the issue would be found, under which section and what exactly to change to the correct thing.

He did what was instructed. The issue resolved. Did he bother with even a thank you? No. Did I care? Not really aside from noting still more so how he's such a pri ... . He flouts being "all that" computing wise. He has a degree to program Java, be a system admin. He's currently unemployed from a union job at Kroger by his choice apparently. His job was to sit in the booth and push a button to let folks get fuel. *smh*

Anyway your point is correct. It doesn't take much to secure a site.

Yesterday while out I realized I don't have a me working at a place. Wife said it was okay to not put a me in there. Her meal wasn't correct though. They need a me to know how to f'ing cook eggs obviously. I'll have to pull a me from one of the other 200 or so odd jobs I work at. Maybe one of nurse me's would like cooking. No, nursing is too important, I'll get one of grocer me's on it.

The school system still hasn't figured out I use 50 mes to be in at least 3 schools any time I work one. Ha! They always track me down though, even moving constantly they seem to find me. I'll fool 'em, put on the brakes and let them go sailing by me. He he.

It gets bad when I start lapping myself. *tags the me responding here*

Stumbled onto this thread after clicking "latest posts" on the home page.

FreedomSmokeUSA has 5-pack 5 ml. samplers for 15.00


"Five pack" is the search term to use on the site. "Sampler" or "sample pack" will yield no results.

But they also sell 5 ml. custom pre-mixed any of their flavors for 2.50. Hmmm.

Anyway I have tried some of them. Loved the saffron, but haven't been back there because their clove is maybe the only clove eliquid I ever bought that I didn't care for.

They also sell non-nic flavor concentrates. Good company IMO.

I had one html class... The instructor spent about 30 minutes talking about https and said one could make a career out of making non secure sites, secure. He said it requires a bit of code changing/adding as well as what you discussed but that it's quite simple and instructions can be found online. As you said, practically anyone with the desire could get it done for pennies and a little time.

To have a website that feeds your income, there is no reason to not be secure. If they are not willing to take that extra little step to make their customers feel secure, then they clearly don't care about your website business. Anyone who is concerned about security will come across an article telling them to turn on https only mode.

As for your wife's eggs, lol, yeah - the second thing taught in culinary school was how to flip an egg/cook the various types. I owned a diner for 4 years - everything from scratch - (yes, I had chickens hanging from ropes on the line - just given a squeeze to get eggs ) and had a wedding events catering business in afternoon/evening. I went through about 2 dozen short order cooks per year - pathetic!

LOL, sounds fishy to me... I get 10ml flavors for $1.49 -$2.00 from Bull City Flavors so even with shipping, it's double the amount of juice for less money... a few brands are like $3.49 for 10ml but most are $1.49 to $2

Well this our brunch/supper "meal of the day" and we were eating at a local chain affiliate. Bob has a farm up in Ohio if that's a clue as to the chain's name, not being Canadian but similar to that style. A person would think fried hard eggs would be straight forward. No, wife gets eggs that aren't even poached "over easy" the whites hadn't even set.

My grandmother took a day and taught me cooking eggs. Then, around age 15, ten years later, I got taught for three days on eggs by a guy who had been to gourmet school. He was teaching me in a Hardee's no less. Didn't matter he was still able to convey how to cook eggs, all different ways. Used to do short order, was pretty good at it, even the MTO stuff.

Yep, yep, yep, ... I'm the kind what has literally done a bit of everything. I'm a jack of all trades, from when that was a complimentary term. Now, here in WV they just call us Hillbilly. They say it means the same as calling someone "worker". Surprisingly, they are some in WV who don't work. Like to run them back out to Ohio, but Boss Jim won't let us yet.
