Hello! Brand new here. Dropping by to give a quick introduction and to ask a couple of questions. I'd been thinking of switching to e-cigs for a while and finally took the plunge on Saturday. Why did I wait so long?! Just over 48 hours in and it's great. I'm particularly enjoying the novelty of not having to go outside to smoke, and after a mammoth day yesterday with 2 rehearsals and a gig my throat feels better already. (I'm a singer, but I guess my username gave that away already) I'm using nicotine at the moment, so no withdrawal symptoms from the demon fags, but I want to slowly wean myself off, or at least cut down. I've been reading the recipes on here and would love to try mixing my own flavours and strengths. Can one of you lovely people give me a list of the basic things I'll need to do this? Can you also point me in the direction of a good on-line retailer for the things I'll need? Thank you, fellow vapers

Hello & welcome Sarah I'm not into mixing my own juices, so will leave the details up to others What e-cig are you using & which ready made flavours have you tried so far?

Hi Chrissie I had a scout around the internet to try and decide which one to get, but in the end I went to my local shop (Huddersfield e-Cigs) as I wanted to get my hands on something before I bought it. I went for the Totally Wicked Tornado Tank, which feels like it's really well made. I also liked the fact that it doesn't look like a cigarette. It came with 10ml of fluid, and I went for the menthol flavour as that was the kind of dirty filthy cig I smoked! I've since ordered a couple of different flavours from the smokshop.com - without advice I just took a punt and went for something that had decent reviews on the website, and they offered free postage for orders over £5. Where can I get the 'counter' you have in the signature under your post? I like the idea of tracking how many cigs I've avoided!

Hi and wecome I started on the same kit as you from their online store, Chrissie saying about the 510 thread is brilliant advice as you can get great atties to go on those batteries, cheaper and most people think much better tasting and proforming If you look in the mixology threads on here, you will find loads on mixing and people making their own juice, so much cheaper and more fun, menthol is so easy to make, worth reading up on, which you prefer PG or VG or a mixture of the two, then the strength you would like to make

OK Sarah, your Tornado tank will do fine for starters, though I suspect that in the long run you'll want something that holds more juice. You should be able to taste your concoctions by taking the cartridge off your Tornado, dripping a couple of drops straight onto the mesh in the atomiser, add an empty cartridge and vape. Menthol is very easy and cheap to make. There is a thread here www.liberty-flights.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1016.0 which has all sorts of good info, including how to make menthol. Menthol is a strong taste - start by just adding a couple of drops to something else to see the effect. I'd start by making a few flavours - not mixing flavours, just mixing PG and VG and nic and one flavour. I'd try flavours other than tobacco. What sort of flavours do you fancy?
