I am really interested in doing this, what strength is the base Nic liquid after straining and how do you test it.

There isn't any nic in it, just flavour.

I still use mine, as a base or on its own, but like Macca says it really bunks the could up, to the point I was making a new one every day. It tastes nice though and an enjoyable vape.

Sapphire, I just soaked it in VG as In Froggy's guide and used it as a flavouring, adding PG and Nic when I mixed it up.

I made some a couple of months back and it was very good. But homemade extracts are a real coil gunker even after triple filtration with cotton, 500 mesh and coffee filter..I needed to clean and burn the coil every 12 hours. There must be a process to remove the sugars from the concentrate which we cannot replicate at home without elaborate equipment...

So I am back on the Hangsen Storm and gave up on the idea.

If it comes out better than anything I have bought to date then I don't mind a bit of coil cleaning. I tried Hangsen Desert Ship, FLlue Cured and Virginia. The Desert Ship is properly rough stuff, the other 2 are ok, I did try to sell them but got no takers.

LOL! I thought it was pure Nic, it still sounds good to do though.

With Hangsen and Dekang liquids, it's important to get one's that are factory mixed.

There are many vendors who sell their own mixes with Hangsen/Dekang flavours and they are normally not that good..The factory mixed one's are extremely good..

I've just given them away to someone in need

How does one distinguish between factory made and vendor made when shopping around?

Yeah, or that. Lol

It's hard..Reputable vendors usually sell genuine Hangsen as Hangsen and their own mix with their labels..For example several of e-cig wizard Wizard's mix are mixed using Hangsen concentrate but not factory mix.

Vapeescape and Safercigs sells factory mixes which are labelled Hangsen and are genuine. Vapourzone used to, but not too sure now as their label has changed..

I buy mine direct from the China, but I would avoid Vaporbreak and a few vendors on Vaporhawk. I finally found one vendor on Vaporhawk who has never failed to deliver genuine stuff direct from the factory and I am sticking with them for Hangsen but you got to buy 10 bottles of the same flavour at a time.

I got mine from Smokshop but have no idea if it's proper stuff or if they made it.

So, where do you get yours from in China?

Vaporhawk..It's a vendor called Annies Smoktech..

30 ml x 10 pcs single flavour costs $35.00 and they are now charging $4.00 to ship to UK as it needs to come through HK after the Chinese customs clampdown. Even if you get charged VAT & Tax which is around £15.00 including RM's handling charges, it works out at around £40.00 for 300 ml of juice, so £4.00 a 30 ml bottle. If you don't get charged customs it's around £2.50 a bottle. I have bought several times from them including juice for Chris JW and it's genuine stuff. You can tell just by smelling the stuff.

Thank you, that's very helpful. I have found it www.vaporhawk.com/annies-smoketech,name,100201,user_id,shop

Going to have a little nap now cos I'm whacked. I will have a browse through the shop when I return.
