Mr Dolly and I have decided today is the day to start buying our starter kit and supplies to have a go at this.
Do any of you experts know if any suppliers have special offers on over this bank holiday weekend?
I am excited but also a bit hesitant

You and me both, Blownupdolly

I've just ordered a starter kit and some Capella from Frogster (The Alchemist) and now I'm going across to LF to look at some other flavours

Super-Shiny - thanks for the discount codes

alchemist kit is very good. The nic is 72mg one of if not the highest nicotine per mg I have seen. Itll go alot further than the standard 54mg nic in the other kits.

Mental note made, the stuff I have now is only 36mg. I make my mixes at 15mg so 72mg base would go a very long way!

I ordered the same kit last night sleepy. Will be stalking the postie this week.
I have only ordered two flavours. Pancake maple syrup and strawberries and cream. Will get some more next week.

I was wondering what else I might be needing to get my first test juice done and thought about sweetening? Would I need to buy some, or are these flavours sweetened already?

[Perpetua]

The majority of Capella's flavours don't contain sweetener Dolly, unless they say.

Stevia is nice natural sweetener, which Leisure Liquids stock all pre-diluted . . . or The Perfumer's Apprentice Sweetener, which is Sucralose based. That's quite intense so you don't need much. 

www.leisureliquids.com/mixing.html

Lots of mixers use Ethyl Malto, which does nothing for my sweet tooth I have to say, but that's just my own preference.


Though I'd maybe be inclined to make your mix, try it after a week and then see if you think it needs a little sweetening . . . easier to add, than take out.

Thanks Mandy. I think I have a similar sweet tooth like you. I have seen Stevia in the supermarket at extortionate prices. I might give that a go first.

Be wary of the supermarket stuff as it isn't pure Dolly, contains other additives as well which could be unwise for inhalation purposes. It's safer to buy from an Ecig Vendor . . .

Sorry yes, I wasn't going to buy it from there just meant I had seen it for food and drink, but have never tried it as too dear. Just putting an order in at LL.

Just thrown an order together quickly with Post Modern Smoking and total comes to 20.78 delivered but excludes glycerine. Note the nic is 54mg 100ml
You can get glycerine in boots really cheap and use distilled water or as I prefer vodka. £1.28 for 200ml Glycerine and say around £6 for a small bottle of vodka.
I think this all works out at very good value and I included two flavours not just one.

I should also mention I am a bit biased as I really do like PMS and the F'Art concentrates he stocks.

Good stuff Dolly . . . and I've just bought some Koolada and Pchela's Poison concentrate after browsing LL site for the Stevia.

Thanks for that Brambles. Being a complete novice I think it was easier to just go with the kit to start off, but will definitely look at your ideas down the line.

Mandy, sorry for making you open you purse what is koolada?

Earlier today I made an order for just a small bottle of Stevia from Leisure Liquids. I didn't need anything else so went to checkout and saw postage was £2.50. I was a bit miffed as it made the postage cost nearly as much as the Stevia, but I have to have so paid anyway.
I would like to let everyone know how great Terry at LL was. I never asked, but he emailed saying as I had only purchased one small item he slashed my postage to £1 I think that was a cool thing to do, and because of that he definitely has a new return customer.
Some less than honest vendors please take note.

That was really nice of them Dolly

I however, don't think vendors are being dishonest with postage!  I sold a few bits and bobs the other month and ended up making a slight loss on some things that I thought would go as a large letter no problem only to discover that due to being less than 0.5mm too thick had to go as a small package.  So, instead of 90p postage was £3
