Woah... I noticed there's no nicotine around, with the local DIY vendors.

And Valley Vapour's site has a message saying the nic suppliers dont want to ship to SA.

Did I miss something? Or is this the legacy that is SAPO biting us in the arse?
 
This is not good news ! I see the other vendors are out as well :(

This doesnt surprise me; Nicotine bournes a 40% duty fee and if memory serves me correctly, it is classified under tobacco or poison and both are heavily regulated.
 
I just hope this doesn't impact the local juice brands too much.

If I have to go back to commercial juice, R150 for 30mls is pushing the envelope as it is. International juice is not on the cards for me at all.

Lol, go get some lube so long man... Yesterday the Dollar went over R17 (didn't check this morning)... Prime interest is going up another quarter % soon. Expect the cost of EVERYTHING to go up and if it doesn't, we can all celebrate with some import juice lol.

Ya, one is nic suspended in VG, the other is nic suspended in PG. I prefer it in PG, but which you buy also depends on what VG/PG ratio you use etc.

Hey Guys,

Just found a local supplier still flush with Nic Base. Spoke to him on the phone just now. Really nice guy.

Nice find. I specifically haven't purchased from here though as it's 60mg/ml. So if you do decide to, just be extra careful when mixing. Also a bit more expensive than the rest (despite the need to use almost half the quantity you would usually with 36mg/ml).

Yeah true, I feel safe getting 36mg from valleyvapour, but I do mix with gloves and are extremely careful. I guess the added expense is fine when it's the only place you can get it. Beats payinh R150-300 per 30ml juice ;-)
