Jen, thanks My wish list has already grown to 20 flavourings. Some are similar flavours but different manufacturers. What I did was search for recipes and add those of recipes that I liked. I think you're right; I should be a bit more frugal in my ordering though.

Well, as a word of warning, I have about 120 flavourings and only use about 20 of them on any kind of regular basis

I contend that it was necessary to buy them to find out whether they were any good or not though! I initially thought I'd like bakery flavours and was desperate to recreate a lemon meringue pie. My attempts have all been disastrous (OMG, F'art Meringue! ), and now I'm leaning much more towards fruity concoctions anyway! Super-Shiny's diabetic-coma-inducing sticky toffee pudding will be a rare dessert mix for me

Doesn't Carrie do sampler flavouring packs? They'd be dead good for a beginner

Thanks. My choices have been on the dessert side or menthol too but I do like fruit flavours. When you have some time and if you have the inclination, would you mind listing the flavours you use most often? There's no rush!!

A lot will definitely happen by then for sure. I.E you will be a top mixing chef. now if only Michelin gave out stars for vaping chefs.

Good luck on your mixes and I wouldn't worry to much about the expenditure after all your quids in long term.

Just pretend your on wall street and buy buy buy.

Bear in mind tastes vary, but this is my own personal must-have list:

CCW Strawberry
TPA Black Cherry
TPA Dulce de Leche
TPA French Vanilla Deluxe
TPA Pie Crust
Capella Vanilla Custard
Capella Cinnamon Danish Swirl
Capella Toasted Almond
Capella Butter
Capella Graham Cracker
FA Blackcurrant
FA Raspberry
FA Peppermint
FA Grape
FA Mango
DV Sherbert Lemon (must add stevia to this one otherwise it's quite harsh)
LorAnn Apricot
LorAnn English Toffee
LorAnn Marshmallow
Stevia solution

I do use many others here and there, most notably floral ones, but I doubt they're all that popular That little lot would see me right for a long time!

I do hope so I've got the news turned on and the presented just showed what looked like an iTaste VV and an ego with clearos on. I think some people working at Sky News must be vapers and given them to her to show the world

I hope it doesn't wane but I feel determined to help out in campaigning efforts in any small capacity that I can. The more of us that don't take this lying down and do something positive, the better.

Back to mixing, the closest I'll get to a Michelin star is living near Heston's service station

Thanks Jen!  A few of those are already on my list and it's good to see your list of tried and tested flavours.  I shall be putting some of those on my shopping list

Shocking but true

Thanks  Quite a frighteningly large collection you have there

Downloaded and added to my arsenal of information!

I just want to double check in case that the link in the mixing vendors list is still linking to the correct product. Sometimes retailers change their products slightly yet keep the same codes and links.

I've bought this glycerin from boots, branded Care+ exactly as pictured. On the bottle it reads:

Active Ingredient: glycerol 100% v/v

www.boots.com/en/Care-Glycerin-200ml_1311141/

Just as a sanity check, is this stuff OK? Ingedient is glycerol and I thought it would be listed as glycerin.  Not sure if it's the same.  

If it's OK I've got some deionised water on the way and plan to dilute it by 10% if that's the right thing to do.

This is the one you should of got.

[lemental]

Thanks Stamina. I believe one of the other Boots near me stocks that one. They said it was the value brand when I phoned up. The one I visited today only had the Care+ branded glycerin.
Now to try and remember which Boots it was

Glycerol is the same thing as glycerin/glycerine just a different name. The glycerin from chemists isn't necessarily of vegetable origin, but to many vapers that isn't an issue. Typically pure glycerin is diluted between 10-20% for vaping purposes to reduce viscosity. A lot depends on preference and your setup.

I couldn't tell you whether you would or wouldn't be able to use the bottle you got for vaping. I was a bit confused myself looking at the bottles on the shelf but I remembered the BP letters and that what prompted my memory from a post on AAEC.

Hope you can exchange it

[lemental]

Postmodern Smoking Thanks If I had a choice, I'd probably opt for vegetable based even though the end product is probably identical in chemistry. For the main ingredients of e-liquid which I will be inhaling many times a day, I don't mind spending a bit more for peace of mind.

stamina - I'm not fussed about exchanging it or getting my money back. It was only £1.29 and it would probably cost me as much to get to and from the Boots that I stopped by in passing earlier today. I'll try using it next time I get a sort throat

[Postmodern Smoking]

Your CARE glycerin/glycerol BP = glycerin BP and is regarded okay for vaping, just a different brand to the one Stamina showed. It will likely require diluted as it will be really thick (viscous). If at some stage you want vegetable based glycerine, which is usually a little more expensive, some vendors stock it and often pre-diluted for convenience.

Postmodern Smoking Thanks again. I'll make a decision tomorrow
