When I started a thread a while back about e-cig.com's nic base it was removed to the back room and I was advised by jess not to use that company due to several bad reports about them. Jess and I swapped quite a few pm's about it after that and I was put on to nic-vape.com in the USA instead which is where I got my 1 x litre of 75mg nic base from in the end. Did you have any issues with customs etc toots? EDIT. Don't worry. Comes to £95 delivered for a litre. Same price as uk vendors

I know it can be got cheaper in China but i thought it would be helpful to those that prefered to source uk stock. How much would 5 ltrs from china be if you were stung by customs ?

Hi GunJack, when they were last mentioned on here, there were two reports. One was the safety concerns with them selling 99% nicotine & the other report was from somebody who had actually bought from them & in their words, they were a noob & stupidly bought very high nic content liquid & then were shocked & disgusted that it arrived with no childproof cap, no skull and crossbones, no tactile sticker and no identification to say it was a hazardous substance whatsoever. It had a single layer of the thinnest bubble wrap, and was in a plastic post bag as thick as a supermarket carrier bag. As you can see, not good.

Thanks jess.... could have been a bad experience for a newbie, admittedly. But, if you go in with your eyes open (and order the correct strength) it could be promising...

That's the trouble though, GunJack, not everyone goes into it with their eyes open, sadly.

I dont know if I am reading this wrong but is it 99% nic or 99mg nic? Either way, I think both are not legal in the UK unless a poisons licence is held.

A lot of first time mixers read this section, and a lot of others that may just see a cheap price as a bargain.
I think the biggest concern should always be purity and quality issues.... Remember, "you usually get what you pay for"!
Each to their own, you pay your money, you make your choice, but I would want a lot more - reassurance, by way of trusted certification, analytical assay, traceability, etc, before I used Nic from China, India or even USA (for those that don't know, most USA branded Nic originates from India).
Just my opinion..... Our hobby is cheap, even when using the best available quality components, there has to come a point when a few pence saving is just not worth the risk!
