As in >/= 1 gallon of PG and VG (nic as well, while we're at it). I'm curious where people like to shop, when they're shopping in bulk.

Thanks!

I get my nic from Nude (though I'm ambivalent about Nude and Vaperstek, it just comes down to shipping cost for me). Bases are either Nude (if they're running a sale) or Essential Depot, where the 2 gallon free shipping deal edges out the 4 gallon GlyCube deal for me, but plug in both because dependent on where you're shipping the 4 gallon deal might actually work better.

Thanks guys. Went ahead with the gylCUBE from ED. Only $20 more than the 1 & 1 after factoring in shipping. Per gallon, it's not much more than I was paying for each liter. Great deal! :)

Quick question, how much is the shipping for the glyCube?
Thanks

Depends on your location - that's why I advise to price it, then price the 2-gallon free shipping deal and see which is cheaper - for me I saved a few bucks buying the 2-gallon deal twice over buying the 4-gallon deal and paying for shipping...

Got it! I'm on my phone since my computer went tits up so it takes me a while to get around. Sometimes it takes so long, I just hang it's up till I get to work. That's why I hate texting, I figured if God wanted me to take 5 minutes to say hello, He would have given me a stutter.

Ya, it definitely varies. I priced it out to a town in north Texas, and it was a bit over $30, but to get it to Laredo, all the way down south on the border, it was just a bit over $24, which was a nice surprise, and unexpected.

Pardon me sir. We stutterers prefer the term 'diction impaired' or 'differently verbal..'

Ok,now I'm goin' to hell for sure.

In am uncharacteristic effort to stay on topic: Essential Depot here.

Pardon me, sir. We prefer the term 'frontal gender anomaly' or 'flesh bulb' ....

Seriously, we've all experienced that "Ah-ha!" moment at one time or another.When/if you.re ready, check the cost of 4-ounce bottles of flavoring at Nicotine River. Re-live that feeling! :)

I had just bought a bunch of flavors and it will take me a few months before I re-order, I have to contact Nicotine River and see if I can pick-up at their location, they're about 20 mi. from my house.

pssst...NR doesn't actually offer 4 oz bottles. 150ml is 5 ounces, for their ridiculously good prices! :D

ooooh wow and have you checked the site recently? Saw that they must have just recently added a category for Capella flavorings! No products in it yet, but it's awesome that they're expanding their selection. :D:D:D

Thank you for the correction, kind sir! Yeah, they just lowered their TFA prices and adding the Capella's line may just break me, Damn, I need a letter of credit from my bank just to go shopping for flavorings, :D

Yup! They don't have the entire spectrum of flavors from Flavor West (double dutch chocolate) but it looks like they keep adding stuff.
They sound like a good place to buy from.

If they decide to carry the Inawera flavors....I'm sunk! I'll have to get an equity line of credit!

haha, ya my order with them was flawless. I'll definitely be back. Though, unfortunately, I don't think I'll be ordering NicSelect anymore. Got a liter from ECX that burned the nose! Luckily it blends in ok with tobacco flavors, doesn't hurt fruit vapes too much, but I haven't been able to get a good creamy vape from it yet. Both the courtesy 250ml from ECX, and the 500ml I bought from NR have a similar distinctive odor, just not as strong. So no more NicSelect for me! Guess it's time to double my budget and try out VT, when I get low on my current stock. :confused:

You can! I live about 10 miles from them, and as soon as they get FA cookie back in I'm going to go over there :)

They just added a limited selection of CAPS today, Amanda, at $7.50 for 60ml. I have mixed feelings about whether I wish I was within driving distance or I'm thankful they'rea ways away. If I could just drop in a grab an armful it could be hazardous to my fiduciary health. :D

LOL From the website it looks as if you have to order and then pick up - which would save me from browsing a store (most certainly an expensive proposition LOL)

I just placed my first order with NicotineRiver. Upon order completion you get to choose in store pick-up (which I did) and also you can opt to pay in person when you pick-up your order.
Cheers,

Soooo. I've already posted about NicRiver a couple of times in other threads but here are the highlights: open M-F 8:00am - 5:00 pm, no weekends. I went there Saturday morning and that's how I found out they are closed on week-ends, after e-mailing back and forth with them. They try to keep your business, reply to e-mails, listen to customers and actually bring in more flavors if people ask for them. Grant was really cool, I went in this morning and told him I had forgotten 2 flavors, could I add them now? His reply was "no problem, we'll have it ready for you in 5 min." and they did! I had the total for my order so I asked him for the updated total, His reply was" no problem, it's on the house, thank you for the business!"
Fortunately they don't have shelves of stuff you can browse or I'd be sunk!

Was able to pick up my glyCUBE order today. Thoroughly impressed with ED, their products, pricing and shipping.
Yep me too I was getting their PG/VG from Amazon before I started buying from them direct.

I just did a small order (not sure where I found the restraint. About $64 for 750ml worth of 8 different flavors. Such good deals from that site!
I got nothing - they were out of literally every single flavor I wanted - some they've been out on since my last order three weeks ago. Sent an inquiry in on Saturday, no response yet...

I buy VG and PG by the gallon at Essential Depot,

Just got an email from Matt D.(E-Cigarette Specialist, Essential Depot, Inc. ) and thought I'd pass on some of the (edited by me) info.

---
As of August 1st 2016 the price of Essential Depot's 4 Gallon VG and PG GlyCubes are going up by a minimum of 13% (from $39.00 to at least $44.00). As VG/PG customer I wanted to give you the chance to stock up and beat the price increases.
<snip>
The upcoming Feb 2017 Federal E-Cig Regulations have caused a spike in sales to the 5000+ Vape Shops we supply. The associated demand spike across the industry has caused VG and PG prices to go up significantly. Our manufacturer and supplier is giving us one more week to purchase at our current price. Please help keep your price as low as possible by ordering at the current price before August 1st

I have no idea what price changes, if any, may occur to other quantities they sell. I thought some might find their view of current affairs...interesting. Heck, I never even knew that there were that many total vape shops. :facepalm:

Never did get that reply, but I've done several orders since and it seems their stock is getting a lot better now.
