Be interesting to see how the bacon turns out. I was planning to get some to make bacon flavoured pasta. Yes I know it's sacrilege to use the flavourings in actual food, but I thought it might be worth a try.

People still don't get it, do they? We don't want to quit nicotine, we just want a safer delivery method. THere is an awful long way to go before Joe Public is well-educated on this, I think! I have a similar standpoint. Vaping is an alternative to smoking, not a replacement for it. Although many vapers do so in an attempt to quit smoking and are successful in doing so. Vaping is not designed to be a smoking cessation aid and should not be regulated as a pharmaceutical aid to quit nicotine as that is not vaping's purpose or design. We also need to educate the politicians who can make the decision to regulate Vaping products too. *Gets off soapbox*

I didn't even know about the new series until I saw this thread. Looks like I'll be catching up on it on 4OD

redz - nice flavour combination there, hope you enjoy the rest of it! What's next on the recipe list then? Here's what I have steeping at the moment: Stand aloneButterscotch Cappuccino Caramel Sticky Toffee Pudding Gingerbread And alsoSticky Toffee Pudding and Custard Butterscotch Custard Caramel Cappuccino They are all flavours which are my regular vapes with pre-made ot flavours which I thought I might like. The gingerbread though,I bought on a whim, I'm not too sure about it as the smell reminds me of some medicine I used to have as a kid.

Thanks. I hope you like it as well if you choose to try it. Just a point I need to make though.It isn't very strong at that percentage, I prefer weaker/subtle flavours to the more overpowering ones and as luck had it it turned out just to my preference. If you prefer plenty of flavour to your vape it will most likely need some tweaking to suit.

I took up mixing earlier this month, but I've been patient and allowed the mixes time to steep and i'm glad I did. I just tested one of my first ever mixes. I made up a 10ml sample of butterscotch cappuccino at 50/50, 14mg nic 15% CCW cappuccino and 5% CCW butterscotch. Filled up my dripper, stuck it on my Vamo and it's absolutely great. The flavours work together well in that ratio. It's more cappuccino on the inhale and butterscotch on the exhale. I think I've just discovered my new daily vape. So I am a happy vaper at the moment. Talk about beginner's luck, I wasn't expecting it to turn out as nice as it did.

Postie just brought me some new flavours. CCW gingerbread and the CCW go nuts selection. The gingerbread smells just like some medicine I used to get as a kid I hope it tastes better than it smells. I made up 30ml as a stand alone of the Gingerbread at 25% which used up the last of my nic base so I can't try out the nut flavours just yet.

They have been advertising on my local radio. I like the idea of a portable charging case. But their prices, £4.99 for 10 ml of juice is a bit steep (no pun) I'll give them a miss I think.

Seem to be more and more shyster/Arthur Daly types wanting to jump on the bandwagon and cash in on the growing popularity of vaping.

Have fun redz . . . what percentages were you planning on using? I did the stand alone caramel and the stand alone sticky toffee at 25% The Caramel cappuccino I did at 15% caramel and 15% cappuccino CCW The Sticky Toffee and custard was 15% Vanilla Custard(Cappella) and 15% sticky toffee I hope the concentrates taste stronger than they smell only the Sticky toffee had any real odour. Time/steeping will tell though, it's going to be at least a month before I try them out. I'm sure they will all need tweaking to find the ideal mix.

Nice. I'll have to check out the videos later. I've made a few failed attempts at coiling. I don't think my hands are nimble enough to do it. This may make things easier.

I have some CCW flavours being delivered today (sticky toffee pudding and caramel) so I was planning to make up: Caramel as a stand alone Caramel cappuccino Sticky toffee pud and custard I might try the sticky toffee pud as a stand alone too.

My order just arrived this morning 30 bottles and drip tips but no caps. It's no big deal, as obviously they won't be needed until after steeping but I will need them at some point. I was going to make an order today for some 10ml and another batch of 30ml bottles. Looks like now it would be more sensible to wait to see if and how long it takes for them to rectify the mistake. They may have forgotten to pop the little bag with the caps inside in to the package. I remember when I got mine the caps were in a separate bag, hope you get it sorted out. Thanks for the feedback. That sounds plausible, mistakes happen and all that, but it's not a very good first impression of a vendor I would have given repeat custom to. I don't expect to hear anything until Monday anyway, I'll have to see how they respond.
