Frankly I would just forget all this shortfill nonsense if % are important to you and you want to mix from different suppliers. Just buy some cheap separate vg and pg and use one of the ejuice calculators. I don't have the cash or the time at the moment to start making my own and currently fed up of the sight of scales/syringes etc as a Type 1 diabetic I'm constantly dealing with them x Fair enough although the only mixing kit I use is a 100ml measuring cylinder which cost a couple of £.

Do you mean 70/30 vg/pg or 70/30 pg/vg? 70vg x Then my advice is get 80/20 vg/pg and a pg based nic shot. (I think most are pg based). You will then end up with something close to 70/30 vg/pg juice.

Hi guys, if I buy a shortfill that is 70/30 but can get nic shots cheaper elsewhere which % of vg nic shots should I be buying to keep the juice at 70/30, I apologise in advance for stupid silly questions x Do you mean 70/30 vg/pg or 70/30 pg/vg?

Hi guys , been vaping since November 2017, recently started thinking/looking into making my own juice, so questions - 1 - What's best to do? i.e - use a 70/30 base mix? if so how do I work out what I need? Buy separate Vg and Pg? Any help is greatly appreciated and I look forward to your responses, thanks xx No one can tell you what VG/PG ratio suits you. You do not know yourself until have experimented. The only sensible way to do that is to buy separate pg and vg and test them out. Buying pre-mix pg/vg makes that very difficult.

I also heard on the grapevine, that a UK Vendor has been campaigning to have shortfills banned . . . . how true this is I've no proof of and we all know how rumours flourish within the vaping community.
My understanding on the Squonk situation is that the legislation isn't a new thing, it's always been part of the TPD since implementation - only hasn't been enforced, until now.
I've said it before, the world's gone mad applying punitive legislation to all things vaping related, the best thing ever created for smokers. It's beyond my comprehension.
Difficult to see how such a ban could be defined even if someone could find some justification for it or manage to get support for it without any substantial justification.

Just started vaping the Kenty (at 8%) with 6mg/ml nic and 50/50 vg/pg that I mixed about 3 weeks ago. Very satisfying and very cig like. Probably not an ADV but definitely one I will mix in larger quantities.

At last, never did one for Father’s Day and need at least 10% off as the prices of buying from FT and UK are getting closer everyday. Asmodus C4, FT=£24.00 UK=£23.99. Thanks for posting. At the risk of being a downer I think that £24ish price is with the MAP code and IIRC you can use a 10% off code like this Independance day one or the MAP code but not both.
Edit just checked seems to be $3.50 off with Freedom and $3.36 off with MAP.

Seriously though Richard46 It would be lovely if all of the Cornish members could arrange a meet up with you? .... yeah.... but would he be able to understand them!!? I hear that the Cornish have "funny" accents! Back in the 60s I worked as a tin miner (South Crofty) for a couple of years. I am not Cornish but I did manage to follow the conversations eventually. The miners; unlike the parodies of a lot of rural accents; actually spoke very fast and still used a few Cornish words. eg kroust = lunch /Dag = axe are the only ones I remember now.
Chrissie it would be lovely to meet up thanks very much for the suggestion. It is going to be difficult for me to predict a time however. We are taking my 94 year old Mother with us with the prime purpose of her seeing my brothers children (and their children). (Oddly my brother is Cornish; don't quite know how that happened). Long story but arrangements are complicated. But thanks again. Rich.

All St Austell brewery pubs are vape friendly to a degree (company policy). That said, they get teasy if there's plumes of smoke being blown everywhere. Most of the pubs in Penzance are hit and miss and seem to change their vaping policy regularly so best to ask the bar staff. As it goes Penzance is a sh**hole, you could take a drive out to the First and last Inn (on the Lands End road near Sennen - nice beach as well). If you want to know about anything else in the area let me know. Thanks *-SARIN-* yes I know Sennen and a particularly happy memory of drinking in the 'Old Success' some 35 years ago. We will get down that way for sure.
