HS Storm HS Delight HS Impulse
3 truly great Juices - I did a review of them over at UKV (if anyone is interested)
Just a pity they don't come in a 36mg Strength!

The XXL DC Cartos are very good indeed.
Still prefer my CE3 Smokeymisers though!

Not nice, I know but certainly not fatal...Nicotine is VERY easily absorbed through the skin, tongue nostrils etc and in a small amount like this is nasty but not "life-threatening"...
I mix my own and "they" say that I should use latex gloves...I used to but don't now. I can't count the number of times I have been mixing only to lick my finger and get that awful taste - mind you, it is MUCH WORSE if you get it in your eyes - stings like Fek...!!! Same as with Chillies.

I agree with River - I have tried and enjoyed Juices from all over the World but when I discovered Grizwalds amazing mixes then the rest pales into insignificance...
These are Juices of the highest quality and Flavour and reflect the attention that I know Franc puts into making them...
Well done Jason @ VapeEscape for selling them but all credit to Franc for the product!

Verey...
I understand exactly what you are saying (Physics at Uni helped a bit here...) but it is still beyond me.
Keep up the great work anyway.

I had exactly the same issue from last Friday since I only got my first batch to try...
I ended up with an empty Smokeymiser and my ProVari and hands covered in my precious Golden Burginia...!!!
Thought there was something wrong with them at first but now it seems that I was just doing it wrong!
These things are great BTW...!!! Plenty of flavour and Throathit...

Yes...bottom line is that when you lower the NIC content of any Juice, you also tend to "dilute" the flavour as well...
I have diluted some of my juices just to see if I could regain the flavour and it is not the easiest thing to do and involves adding flavour concentrates and re-trying to see if it is the same as the original.
Best advice is either to buy the strength you want in the first place OR do what the others have said and dilute with a lower NIC version of the Juice you like!

I had been a fairly heavy smoker for years and was diagnosed with Testicular Cancer in March of this year.
I asked the Consultant Oncologist and he said that whilst the smoking did not in any way contribute to the illness, that I was causing all sorts of other problems and that ,y biggest risk was of a Heart Attack or Stroke so it was time to stop...!!!
Got one of those silly SKY Cigs and after just 1 day found Cloud 9 Vaping and got a Riva 510 Kit, when it arrived that was my last cigarette...
Been Cig-free since then! Best move ever since vaping is SO damn nice...!!!

These are very beautifully crafted devices...
May have to put one on my Christmas list.

Jemima - The Solution is VERY Purple as you say and contains a Gold Solution - Usually a mixture of Gold Chloride and Potassium Ferrocyanide (I beleive but I'm no Chemistry expert!) - the action of the electric current through the liquid deposits metallic gold on the surface of the item being plated!
But you can only plate other Metals and anything with Aluminium in it is VERY difficult to do....

In fairness Ian - you can get a cheaper kit that comes in at around the £200.00 mark and I am sure there are even cheaper than that to be had. I think the main problem is that some of the Plating Solutions like the Gold, Platinum, Silver and Rhodium are SO expensive...My kit came with 100ml of the Gold Solution - a Litre of this costs £430.00...!!! With a bit of practice I believe that anyone could offer this as a viable service but I certainly have not reached that point yet! I Gold Plated my CUBE (see photo) as my first attempt. Since the CUBE was already in a highly reflective Stainless Steel, it made the plating process much easier. In short:- 1. Clean the CUBE using neat washing-up liquid.(Using Latex Gloves to avoid contamination of the cleaned surface) 2. Activate the parts needing plated - in this case the casing, top atomiser cap, bottom battery cap and button. (Again using Latex Gloves.) 3. Electo-plate using Gold Solution at 9.0v using a swab 4. Polish... In all it took me about 60 minutes to complete the process and for a first attempt I am very pleased. For all those wanting more info about the equipment used the link is here... Gold SolutionsAnd their E-Bay shop can be found here: Gold Solutions EBay ShopAdmittedly the kit I purchased was fairly expensive at £409.00 (see below) but came with a Desk-Mounted electrical buffer and solutions to plate using Chrome, Nickel, Copper, and 24K Gold. I also purchased additional Solutions to allow me to plate using: Silver, Rhodium and Platinum.The Company are very helpful, the equipment is of a very high quality and delivery was quick. All-in-all, a bit of fun! Later...
