Ahola!

[pulse]

Also Chrissie - I'm interested in a few flavoured ones from the site you posted here:

What PG/VG ratio should I be looking at getting? I might try and get a few bottles as they are really cheap and vary the nicotine strength.

Hi pulse welcome

[chykensa]

My suggestion, and I am sure others will echo this, is to find a supplier who does small sampler bottles, and buy about half a dozen to get you started and keep you going.
That way, you can try a lot of different juices without wastage. 5ml is the usual sampler size, and that would fill a Clearomiser about 3 times, or an Evod twice. That should be enough for you to ascertain whether you like the taste and strength or not, without finding yourself with a 30ml bottle of juice minus 2ml and a horrible taste in your mouth (to say nothing of your wallet!).
Here are some juice suppliers who do small bottle sizes that you might want to browse :-
Vape Escape - a good and trusted vendor, and member of this forum
The Alchemist's Cupboard - Frogster is also a member of this forum, and makes delicious juices.
Health-E-Vape - another good supplier.

Now, the next 10 forum members will all come along and give you links to another 30 sites which do good juice, but at the end of the day, you've just got to get in there and try some before you get an idea of what you prefer.
A word of advice if you will indulge me - don't discount flavours that seem odd or not to your usual taste. It is notoriously difficult to find authentic tobacco flavours, and for that reason, many vapers use juice with weird and wonderful mixes. One of my favourite juices that I mix myself is Strawberry and Vanilla Cream, with a Menthol and Caramel Tobacco coming a close second.
With your sample packs, pick a coulpe of menthols or mints (even if you never liked menthol fags), a fruit taste or two, and something quite sweet, like Vanilla Custard or Raspberry Ice Cream. You may get a pleasant surprise when you try them - I always keep an open mind until I have tried a flavour.
Hope this helps!
Andy

Joosejuice's juices are excellent & as you say, really cheap. I bought the 50/50 mix from them - tons of vapour & flavour.

Going back to tobacco flavours, some of the best I've tried have been from Paradise vapes (Looks like they are out of Royal at the moment) -

Thank you so much for all the advice! I have bought 2 x Mayfair (5ml each) with different strengths to see which one I prefer (18mg and 26mg). I also have purchased 6 taster bottles from the website you previously mentioned with a PG/VG ratio of 70/30 (no idea what PG/VG means!) bar one which I bought at 80/20. The flavours I chose are Mango, Strawberries & Cream, Soft Mint, Blackberry, Pineapple & Bubblegum (which is the 80/20 ratio mix).

YW pulse

PG is Propylene Glycol & the higher % of PG, the more throat hit you get. VG is Vegetable Glycerine & the higher % of VG, the more vapour you get.

Fingers crossed you get your e-liquids tomorrow along with your Evod kit

When it all arrives, please don't hesitate asking any questions, no matter how daft they may seem.

BTW, the batteries will come with a factory charge, so you can use one straight away while fully charging the other.

The basics of pg and vg are, higher pg content means more throat hit but less vapour. Pg tends to bring the flavours through as well. More vg means more vapour production.
To add to that the higher the nicotine level the more throat hit you get as well.

Hi pulse sorry i couldn't answer your question this morning i had to get ready & go to work, you have had some excellent advice though from other members though to get you started & as others have said don't be afraid to ask any questions t all as the silliest question is the one you do not ask, the advice i have been given & what i have read up on has been invaluable, good luck & happy  

[pulse]

Thank you for the explanation of what PG/VG are:) why would one want more vapour as opposed to PG? I do ask a lot of questions as you can see Hopefully I get my kit tomorrow/the E-liquids! I'm excited to try them all. I hope I like them! The advice here has been immense, literally have been on numerous forums over the last decade and it's second to none here. Kudos to all

I'm not a fan of throat hit, can't bear it infact . . . so VG in an eliquid gives me lots of lovely vapour Pulse, which is the more important aspect of my vaping.

But we're all different, it's what satisfies you that's important.

I see! nice to get a perspective on that, I guess they wouldn't have the option to mix and mage PG/VP if people didn't vary in tastes! I will try out different ones and see which one suits me I'm surprised to see some E-liquids go to such a high content of nicotine! Cigarette packets contain no where near that amount.

[chykensa]

I mix my own juice, as many on this forum do (although that's for another day!), and I mix at 50/50 PG/VG so that I get the best of both worlds; a good throat hit (TH) and the best possible taste. Some juice vendors give you the option to adjust the ratio of one to the other when you order, but most it has to be said stick to the most popular ratios.
As you have already noticed, some people don't like TH but want lots of steam, others want a better taste, so mixing your own is sometimes the best way around this. You also have the option of adjusting the tastes to suit your own palate too.
Let's get you vaping first though
