Whats the difference (ejuice)

[roachieuk (aka eciggery2011)]

So i was wondering what the difference is in all the different ejuice quals like:

Decadent
perfumes apprentice
USA finest

etc etc?

I guess its the flavoring or nic used?

I read somewhere as well that some juices that taste like tobacco still have some nasties like tobacco?

Just a question i was thinking bout while serving last nite.

Oh and also why cant we get some of the flavors over here like you can in America? cause they have some crazy flavors id love to try.

Many thanks in advance

Ive tried a few suppliers and even though the e-liquid flavour is the same and is the same mix and strength that they taste different. Some are light and watery and some are darker and thicker.
I just go with what I like really and have experimented with a few flavours but its just getting too expensive to try everything I want to. Even 5ml is about £3 and I wouldnt jut buy one so before I know it my monthly outgoings are not as high as smoking cigs but it's still quite a lot. So I just stick to my best sellers now unless I see a bargain but it's a good question to ask about the differences in e-juice and I was thinking the same thing myself.

Yeah - good question roachie. I would think that the flavours would be affected by the strength of nic in them too.
I mean. I'm just guessing here as my expertise is still in a fledgling state. But i would have thought that the less nic in a liquid then the more pleasant it would taste.
I have only tasted tobacco flavours.
I have ordered 5 tasters (5ml) from geordie kev i think. So i look forward to "knowing" more when they arrive and i vape some other taste than "to...bloody...bacco".

An easy way to get the cost of your juice down is to mix your own.I buy vapourworlds Dekang juice but mix most of my own myself now.Its real easy and cheap if you buy your nic in bulk from China.I like to buy the flavourart flavourings, or the new perfumers apprentice ones from LF.Its worth a go and saves you alot of money to.Alot of these pre made juices from vendors turn up and are to weak for me,the beauty of mixing your own is you can make it to your own taste.I have ten 30ml bottles in my box as backup for when im skint Edit to add,sorry for going off topic Roachie

whereabouts in China do you get your nic from, Ian?

[roachieuk (aka eciggery2011)]

I would love to mix my own but its just learning and ive spent £60 alone this month on ejuice so prob bout the same id spend on tobacco when i was on analogs.I like to try different flavors if someone can point on how to mix your own id be more than happy to learn about this and would be very appreciated.

But some great answers already bout the questions i asked keep them coming and i take every bit of info in i can so its much appreciated.

Like Ian I generally mix my own these days, my taste buds are so hammered that I find I need to top up most of the ready mixed juice with extra flavouring . . . although there are a couple of noteable exceptions to that.

I've read good reports on this company Lilac and they're giving a discount at present.

Roachie - how much tobacco did you smoke in a week ?

I was smoking 75g of Golden Virginia a week. Then i had extra slim filters and green rizlas. Prob cost me bout £30 a week.

In the two weeks and 5 days i've been e cigging i'm probably about evens money wise. Though i have laid out for all my gear.

[Perpetua]

It does take a bit of time to catch up money wise Del whilst you're getting yourself set up with vaping gear, especially as there are so many new and wonderful vaping goodies coming onto the market.

Come the end of my ciggie days, I was spending a truly horrific £70 a week on cigs, if I could be really disciplined with myself I'd be spending half that a month.

[delboy]

I think tailor made cigarettes are nearly £7 a pack now. I reckon i was smoking 25 a day. So if i was smoking tm cigs i would've been spending over £60 a week.

My wife is saving £50 a week. So if you combined our total spend on fags then subtract what we've spent we are in profit of about £30. That will only get better as we spend less each week.

Important thing is at work this week ,i been doing a patio in St. Leonards, I have had to take up concrete, dig down into clay, then break up a stone layer and dig that out to the required depth. Then cart all that to skip (i filled three skips). Luckily i only had to work 3 days this week because by thursday night i was shattered. I did it though. By friday night i was recovered too.
My energy levels are returning to what they were 8-10 years ago. I feel powerful again.
I can grab a full chest/lungful of air.
I'm feeling great. The e cigs are doing it for me.

Eastmall mixing liquid Lilac Its $25 for five 30ml bottles,that converts to £3 for 30ml of 36mg mixing juice.I vape it at 36mg but it can obviously be cut down in strength with PG or VG, and you are saving even more money.If you vape 18mg then you are turning a 30ml bottle into 60ml by cutting it.Buy a few flavourings at £2ish each and thats it,quids in.Ive heard good stuff about Mist e liquids new flavourwest flavours, so have just ordered four different tobaccos and a caramel candy one to try.Mixing is easy,just experiment and enjoy having a go.

I used to smoke around 37g a week but i used to buy baccy on the old back of lorry jobby lol.So would spend say 8 quid on 25g and used to goto the shop every sat for 12.5g which was nearly 4quid.Dont get me wrong i dont begrudge spending this money on ecig as its my only real pleasure in life.Being unemployed and what not you tend to smoke more i hate being unemployed tbh if i was offerd a job tomorrow id snap it up.I love my ecig and wouldn't change it for the world now coming up this Tuesday it will be my first month off analogs and i feel bloody good about it.

But im gonna start looking into my own mixing as id love to do this and make my own flavors and hopefully share with all you kind people.

P.S perp thanks for that site could you explain it a lil bit more ie:the ratios as i kinda understand it but dont lol.

Also perp if you dont mind saying what part of Bristol you in?i used to live there for a while i lived in Brislington(long story)but wish i never came back to MK i hate it here but as they say home is where the heart is:)

If you want to learn how to mix easily Roachie,its best to just buy a bottle of unflavoured nic juice at say 24-26mg and then add your chosen flavour,or a mix of various flavours of your choice.You will then get more confident with the basics.I started this way and soon moved on with it.I know LF do the unflavoured nic juice at a reasonable price.If you vape a lower strength you will also need a bottle of PG or VG to dilute the nic.I dont bother with exact calculations,i simply make a juice that vapes strong enough for me.lol,its pretty easy for me,i vape 36mg PG so all i do is add my flavouring and maybe 1ml VG for extra vapour.I usually add 5-6 drops of flavour per ml of mixing juice used.

I like cappuccino flavor, sweetness I was always so refreshing, someone like me do?

[tynesider]

I think most of us would like to hear of "exactly" how to mix our own juice and by that I mean where you get your products from and exactly what you buy and the approx cost for each item.
Where to get flavouring, so everything in basic terms. I have thought about trying it myself but there are so many vids on youtube etc that contradict what others say and healthwise I want to do it the safest and proper way.
I'm sure there are loads of vapers in this forum who could take us through all the stages from buying to mixing to vaping, think of it as writing a book like Vaping for Dummies...like me Lol
