Perpetua Would you mind sending me a copy of Frogster's template please?

Thanks Frogster (The Alchemist)

Not at all . . . my pleasure, should be with you now Lemental.

Blimey, you don't hang about Thanks!

Is there any harm in using 1ml syringes without blunt needles? Seem to pick up liquid just fine on their own.

You caught me at the right moment Lemental, before I take my Santogen and put my slippers on.

None at all, I always use a needleless syringe for any of my mixing exploits Lemental.

Thanks   When I just tried using just the syringe I was wondering what the necessity was for needles apart from keeping the syringe dry!

Quick question for anyone: does VG and PG vape at the same rate?

Cheers Beatnik.

When you're getting to the end of a bottle or if the neck is narrow then they're useful Lemental. Although I tend to use a measuring cup then as I find drawing VG base/AG up through a needle can be quite slow going.

I don't use PG other than in my flavorings anymore Beatnik, but I find no difference as to when I did use PG heavy juice . . . probably down to the better delivery systems and VV/VW devices we now have to compensate.

Only using small amounts of pg too... I find it makes me quite chesty..? I used to have quite bad athsma when I was a child.

As for the Earl grey:
I think I'll just gently warm my vg and steep my tea in it for about three mins (as you would for a real cup) then I'll go from there...

It's on my list! Been mad busy recently. Want to try a real spearmint flavour since I have loads of it for tea purposes. Could also have a go with lavender and rose teas.

Tea's would be good ... black tea would help with tobacco flavour I reckon. Lapsang for a smokey flavour ... hmm, I sense a new experiment coming on. Good thing with teabags are they come in a handy steeping bag already

nettles, rose petals and elderflowers would be another list for me

Might want to be careful when steeping anything that has been "Smoked." Things that are "Smoked" I.E. held above smoldering wood to absorb flavor have a chemical know as benzo(a)pyrene which is a byproduct of the smoking process. This is a known carcinogen and is cancer causing. They "Smoke" Lapsang Tea as part of the process. Now, I'm not an expert, I just wanted to make sure everyone is informed and for everyone to keep healthy in their individual Vape journeys. 
If I am misinformed on this, please do let me know.

Thanks for letting me know! I was thinking of steeping a tea called Russian caravan.. it is also quite Smokey..

mixed and tested (only 24hrs) with a home elderflower mix Jen using vodka to steep it in... it's not good, not yet. I might have put too much elderflower in or I've sampled too soon. None of the sweetener has come through yet and it ... well, tastes like the smell of cat pee ...

Hmmm...you could always make a TCP vape, @ashmal

I'm hoping the other flavours wake up ... it's currently unvapeable which will be a real shame ...esp. considering there's 90ml of vodka in it

[Jen]

90ml?? How much did you make of what??
