Thanksfolks will check with my doctor surely as i still have to do a checkup anyway. also will need to start mixing my own juice and need to get tobacco extracts and flavours but from which european vendor to buy the best stuff.

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.

I trust you have tried mixing vodka at 20%, or the less popular de-ionised water, this helps enormously with wicking... oh wait, this is perps im talking to.... ill get me coat.

What do you mean Skwoody, It helps with wicking ,in what way??

[Skwoddy]

Basically thins the vg down as it is much thicker than PG, Vg and Clearo's dont get on that well, but Deionised water or vodka is just the trick, less true with Mesh but better thinned.

PS did you see a few posts up about the double discount at nicvapes, effectively omits the shipping costs, 50mg nic at £34 for 500ml, total bargain.

Frogster, I truly admire your dedication, both to your hobby and to advising others, (plus the fact you have a DID dedicated to one juice, but im not gonna get into that lol), for £1.50 I cant believe you get that much extract from 10G of tobacco, Just ordered as nothing ventured nothing gained. A few questions:-
Are you using a metal or Ceramic jug?
Do you have any preference with vodka brand?
Is the tester a specific blend or if successful can I order a larger amount getting the same stuff, or are there any issues with batches being different?

Will you marry me?....oh wait...

I move onto a new shift pattern at work next week that gives me an extra day off every week, need something to do right?

Any danger of getting your excel template? blank of course

Very interesting post, very tempting as well thanks for explaining how it is done #icon_thumbsup#

Skwoody,

To answer your questions, I have ordered it a number of times now, it always comes the same, they are very very generous with their quantities.

The Tester pack" is Virginia Flue Cured Tobacco, here is the description:-

"This leaf arrives with a heavenly fresh aroma, bringing back memories of the tobacco leaf before the main-stream commercial usage of today. Spots on Virginia Flue Cured leaves are normal and are no cause for concern.

Also known as Brightleaf Tobacco, Virginia Flue Cured Tobacco is one of the most commonly used tobacco leaves in the industry, as it is a major component in cigarette blends for almost every type of cigarette, and is used as hookah and pipe tobacco all over the world..

Although this tobacco leaf is "uncut", we do not consider it whole leaf because it is not handled in the same fashion as the whole cigar leaves. The main difference with this type of V.F.C. is that it has not been all "chopped up" like most other types of Virginia Flue Cured.

You can enjoy your smoke with peace of mind knowing that this leaf has never been handled by commercial processors."

I use a pyrex glass jug and a plastic spoon.

I am already married.

Have fun trying it.

[Skwoddy]

I'm seriously looking forward to it, besides if I dont take to it, I can just keep the tobacco to smell, Love the smell of raw tobacco!!, Sounds delectable though, Im gonna try it with some black cherry and possibly with 'wild nuts' as 2 liquids, plus the honey of course.

Thanks for the usual prompt and informative reply.
