VG- Cheapest place to buy bulk?

[Phoenix .]

I don't think Boots chemist offers good value for 200 ml, so I am looking to buy bigger bottles as I am going to use a lot of it, Im ok for PG I have nearly 2litres and I cannot remember where I bought it from as I should think they do VG in litre bottles. Damned memory loss drives me mad

The Boots VG is 65p for 100ml (£1.30 for the 200ml bottle) That works out at £6.50 for 1ltr. That's not bad, in the 2 links given by igual above EL is £6.99 and the ebay one is £7.29

I have noticed with the boots one that it can vary from syrup consistency to that of treacle lol.
I do prefer the clasikool VG from ebay.
I am yet to try the VG from Ollie at everythingliquid.

Obviously you buy the one you are happiest with, like a lot of other 'brand' items it comes down to personal taste etc.  The OP was querying the cost of the VG though and for some reason I was sticking up for Boots  ???  Don't usually stick up for big stores much!!

yes, I did the maths and Boots came up on top so I dont try to source it online any more, I just bag whatever they have out on display and often ask if they have more in stockroom, the assistant always seems awestruck when I whip 3 or 4 bottles off the shelf.................

The assistant is always awestruck when I whip........  arrgghh wrong forum 

The bottles are handy for 200ml mixes as well.

Good price.

We can supply in 500 Ltr containers at a good price....... but the postage is a killer

I would love to see the postie carrying that up the street

Boots shops are a bit hit and miss with regards to VG as it's a seasonal item and the lemon / blackcurrant flavoured ones taste rank Another vote for Clasikool here.

I also use this one for over 2 years now. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161112924693?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I have tried other VG suppliers, but, to be honest, Boots does me fine. As linked above, you can maybe save upto £1 per litre, but then you have to store the stuff too. If I'm running low, I can just pop into Boots, and get another 200ml bottle that I don't really have to worry about how I'm going to store it for the next year or so.

Sure, you can save a small amount of money, but that isn't really everything.

+1 to this.

All my mixes are VG heavy, I vape a reasonable amount in a day . . . . yet I'd be surprised if I got through 4 x 200ml bottles in a year.
