The state of Nicotine in 2018

Here in the UK we are now only able to buy nicotine shots, I usually get mine from Darkstar Vapour for £16 (around £20 shipped) for 180ml of 18mg Nicotine, it’s quite expensive.

For example, to make 100ml of 3mg e-liquid, I have to use 16.67ml, thats just over 1 and a half bottles, when you do the math you can see that I can make around 10 100ml batches, sure 1 litre seems like a lot but when you compare that to a bottle of 72mg nicotine which can produce quadruple that amount and was a similar price when available, you can see what I mean.

I have to admit though that the 10ml bottles are slightly overfilled, I can only assume they do this because these little bottles like to hold a ml or so back or maybe its just by accident.

The only place I have found that is remotely close to me is:

I’m not even sure I can get that delivered to me and wouldn’t want to take the risk.

I would be interested to know how how the rest of the world is getting their Nicotine, the amounts and costs.

If nic gets to be stupidly expensive, I would sadly just stop using it. Not stop vaping though. I don’t want to stop the nic but I will if I have to.

Heartland Vapes is in Tulsa, OK. And yeah I guess I could by a 55 gallon barrel if I wanted.

*Edit, sorry, I missed the nicotine source comment. I thought you meant the company itself.

Quick post before I get off to work - I have been wondering how literal the TPD actually is since the nic strength is expressed in mg/ml I wonder if nic salt powder which is mg/g would be regulated the same way. Chemnovatic sell b2b nic salt powder at 500+ mg/g and a few labs in China sell it at 300+ mg/g.

Leave it to @woftam to go all “Breaking Bad” on us… :rofl: :wink:
(great idea BTW :thumbsup: )

Now, if there’s a source to do the same for “freebase”… grins
