Dave-I checked the prices and nicvape are half the price of anyone else I found and the code given on here augustsale still works.

Thanks Sandra thats a lot cheaper than the last time I checked them just ordered 500ml. Dave

May the Lord help me . . . I've just ordered some more base from NicVape, I'm blaming Sandra for this purchase.

Which flavours are those Azzie . . . the Cupcake ones?

They do say " No artificial flavourings, no alcohol, gluten free, suitable for vegans all ingredients conform to EEC legislation " . . . I'm thinking you're concerned about Diacetyl possibly?

Aye, diacetyl and isopropanol mainly.

Thanks for the spec sheet Froggy.

You guys have to let me know how the flavours compare to the other brands.

I've made a batch this afternoon, of each of those 4 flavours I bought the other day Azzie . . . I'll let them steep for a bit then report back.

They do smell divine.

Thanks Perps, that is one I have used before, like minds, it is a good buy. .... Thanks

BTW, want to do a little taster swap? The thought of Crimbo cake is haunting me now.... You need some Banna Cream to slide down afterwards, I am sure

I just went and had a look.... out of curiosity, to see how much 50mg nic base was….

Blooming heck Sandra, you have done it to me now….. I just purchased ½ Litre of 50mg VG Nic base (on sale – discounted already) and some Graham Cracker concentrate…. Applied the “Augustsale” code and it discounted everything some more….. All for £34.35 inc Post & Packing…. Now that is cheap!!!

As you say about 50% of the cheapest in the UK.

Thanks (I think)

Just duplicated that with an extra flavouring at £3.50, 500ml has a "Murdock Discount" which then stacks with "augustsale" discount, total $58.26 or £35.89 at todays conversion rate, Bargain!!

Think Il be doing that every month from now till spring, up yours big pharma.

I would love to start trying to mix my own juices since it seems that after 5 months of vaping mainly on 50/50 pg/vg ration i am getting some chest pains and stomach pains not to talk about aches in back muscles (maybe due to lack of training). my concern is this...Is it hard to mix 100% VG juices. i know that flavour will be lost but can i add more flavour in 100%vg. Guidance is needed here dont want to end up doing some deadly mixture

[Perpetua]

Personally,I don't find it any more difficult to mix VG heavy/all VG mixes than I do a blend of PG/VG Superegot . . . infact VG suits my tastes better as it has an underlying sweetness, which with the flavours I prefer, enhances them.

One of the drawbacks I can find with all VG is that wicking can be compromised . . . and it can make me phelmy, but I'm also sensitive to PG, so it's a juggling act of ratios.

then maybe i should mix with lower amount of nicotine maybe that is what is causing my pains

I am riddled with Pain at the mo But it is the low pressure we are having not the Pg/Vg. I also have heart problems ie stents, But since I gave up cigs in July 9 2012, I have never felt better chest wise and fitness, no Phlem!! No Chest problems, When I smoked i was terrified of getting a cold as it went to my chest and boy was i Ill,
I am now 70 and up to now this Vaping has improved my health I must say I have spent a lot of Cash and intend spending more, We can-not put a price on our health, This is my oppinion.
I can walk a long distance now as before i just wanted to sit around smoking roll-ups,
I hope your health improves and the chest pains recede may be a good thing to see your Doctor? by the way I am on 70pg 30vg. 18mg strength.
Am now starting to mix my own with the the help of these Guys

Hi superegot,

Mixing your own can be fun, and very rewarding, and as has already been stated it gives you the control over what goes into your juice, not just ratios of PG/VG but also control of what flavours and the ability to eliminate potential allergens, etc. I find the information provided on packaging of pre mixed ready to vape liquid, or information on contents willing to be given by many e-cig juice vendors is woefully lacking.

The majority of flavour concentrates are PG based, you may be able to get VG ones but I have never explored that avenue. I have just checked through my stash, and the only VG based ones are my own Tobacco extracts. So given that, you will likely always have some % of PG in a flavoured mix anyway.

But what interests me is what has drawn you to conclude that your current health problems are related to vapeing, and in particular - PG related? Have you sought medical advice? As Perpy eludes to, PG sensitivity is possible in some people, but not everyone…. Some people vape 100% PG without problems.

What I am saying is, without proper evaluation (medically obtained), your assumptions could be leading you the wrong way up a one way street. IMHO.
