Mixing supplies advice, please

[ghostrider1971]

Hi guys,

Well, I finally bit the bullet today and bought some pure nicotine from Darkstar to move away from my pre-mix habit.

Went for 500ml and I think at 8ml per 100ml of liquid for 6mg juice, that should last me a good while (sadly don't have freezer space...)

Could you please let me know the best places for buying PG & VG? I know most online shops sell both, but I would really appreciate some personal recommendations.

TMB notes looks reasonable and I assume their postage is free.

Probably looking for a litre of each initially.

Cheers,

Andy

Probably too late to change your order now, but Darkstar ?

i use everything liquid or the last lot i got was from theecigshop very keen prices and it seems very good and clean juice, and you can
get your concentrates at the same time from them.

I have found everything liquid fine for PG but why not just order from Darkstar If you are happy with them.

BTW personally I would not let lack of freezer space put me off buying a bit more nic. It should last a good while left alone in any cool dark place. I have used 2 year old nic that never saw the freezer. Others may disagree.

I read that post as nothing wrong with them so alter his order to add pg and vg from them as well as his nic.

TBH i buy 5lt at the time and thats 26 quid plus postage from the ecigshop (5lts of each that is)
so tenner more than the cost of your 1 lt but 5 times the amount

I'd probably go with Darkstar myself if you're doing an order for Nic ghostrider1971   . . . although Lubrisolve's prices are pretty good:

Yup and at ‎£1.39 / 200ml it's good value & quality. It also can be bought fresh, rather than bulk supplies that may deteriorate over time.

[Perpetua]

Boots also offer a Click & Collect system, if your local either doesn't sell it or have sufficient in stock:

My reservation with it, along with other sources we use is the lack of information on the Palm Oil used in the manufacturing process - whether it's from sustainable sources or otherwise.

The Ecig Shop is the only Vendor I'm aware of whose VG is from a sustainable source as it uses Rape Seed . . . . . there must be others, it would be good if the specifics were stated so consumers could make an informed choice.
