Suppliers<\/h4>\n

Most of the those tobacco and non-tobacco flavors (and myriad others) are carried by many of the scores of suppliers participating in the forums. myFreedomSmokes<\/a> has one of the largest selections of China-made e-liquid. Supplier links for the more unique flavors (other than e-Cialis) have been provided on the previous page. Also see the bottom of this page.<\/p>\n

The creator\/supplier of perhaps the most esoteric (and rather expensive) e-liquid (e.g., Absinthe, Ylang Ylang, Roast Beef, etc.) is Decadent Vapours<\/a>, based in the UK. It appears that they have closed their shop, however DV’s offerings now are sold by Totally Wicked* (US<\/a>, UK<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

* Bonus<\/strong>: Anything you order from TW<\/a> will be imprinted with their trademark logo \u2013 a red devil’s head<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 which some find appealing … others, not so much. [I\u2019m somewhere in between. I have used TW atomizers … but not in the presence of corporate clients.]<\/p>\n

China Juice or Made in the USA\/UK?<\/h4>\n

The Past<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prior to 2010, virtually all e-liquid was manufactured in China by a handful of companies (mainly DeKang Biotechnology<\/a>) and sold by Chinese suppliers or exported to the west. I order China-manufactured juice from the least expensive US or China supplier who carries the flavors I like. [NOTE: Chinese suppliers usually have the best prices, but then their shipping costs are very high. Good for large orders.]<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Most (but not all) of the western-produced e-liquid [\u2018western\u2019 = North America and Europe, not cowboys] had <\/strong>been simply LorAnn<\/a> flavoring mixed with base PG or VG (and China-produced nicotine) and sold at what I regard to be highly inflated prices.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The best <\/em>of that group combined <\/strong>more than one LorAnn flavor (and other mysterious flavors) to create unique and tasty concoctions, e.g., NHaler’s “lung juice” mentioned on the previous page, Ms. T’s Bakery<\/a>, and Walrus’s Mad Scientist’s Laboratory<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A very few (e.g., ECOPure<\/a> and Decadent Vapours<\/a>) started from scratch and created something truly special, which I would be un<\/strong>able to do with my own limited DIY supplies (and talent). [DIY = Do It Yourself.] Those (and the immediately above) may be worth <\/strong>the prices charged.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I was very impressed <\/em>with what the Chinese <\/strong>manufacturers created. For example, how do they extract both subtly different tobacco flavors and controlled amounts of nicotine from tobacco leaves? I doubt any <\/strong>DIYer can replicate that<\/em>. [And what the heck are <\/strong>the ingredients in RY4 (or RY1, 2, or 3 for that matter)?]<\/p>\n

But 0mg Butter Rum e-liquid? Nah! Even I <\/strong>can do that. [And I have; it\u2019s really inexpensive and easy \u2026 and it tastes good! (All credit to LorAnn.) More on this in the DIY section of Part VI.]<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Today<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year, there has been an explosion <\/strong>of e-liquid made in the US by a great many independent mixers (now including tobacco flavors as well), often sold at reasonable prices. And most of what I’ve tried is quite delicious.<\/p>\n

Some <\/em>of those new e-liquid creators are Alien Visions<\/a>, Backwoods Brew<\/a>, Cignot’s BASIC line<\/a>, FreedomSmokeUSA<\/a> [10% discount code: VGFSU10], Gourmet Vapor<\/a>, Halo<\/a>\"\", NHaler<\/a>, Tasty Vapor<\/a>, Vapor Bomb<\/a>, VapeRite<\/a>, Vapor Station<\/a>, and Viking Vapor<\/a>.<\/p>\n
