Erm ... where do I start?

[chykensa]

+1 on the PG nic base Q - and good advice about the VG too. I never bother to dilute the VG but simply hoover it up with a needle-less syringe from a small cup. The PG will make it less gloopy anyway, and this will at least ensure that the risk of leaking with a very thin liquid is lessened.
As long as you have diluted the nic base sufficiently to a sensible (and safe) strength, there really is nothing else that can go wrong; just get in and mix, I used to be so precise about flavouring amounts, now as long as the syringe reads roughly what the recipe states, I'm happy.

[Q]

In an attempt to keep up with CaptainChaos I've now ordered 50x 10ml bottles to go with the 30ml bottles I already have... who will get their first mix 1st

[CaptainChaos]

Q I have a strange feeling that YOU will

[CaptainChaos]

Oh great - I've gone & ordered the Alchemists Cupboard Gold Starter Kit now

Doesn't matter - I'll just chuck random stuff in bottles, tubes, syringes & other bottles & see what flavour it ends up hahahaha

It was the right choice, whilst it was a more costly way of buying the ingredients, a mixing starter kit is an excellent way of testing the waters. Not everyone enjoys mixing for starters, a bit like coil building - so if you find it too much of a faff for you, then you've not wasted a shed load of money.

If you do enjoy it, then the experience using a kit has been a useful exercise.

Alot depends upon your approach to the ingredients and mixing as a whole, make it complicated and it will be.

I'd forget the whisker thing Q and keep it for omelettes . . . there isn't a substitute for natural steeping and a little patience.  

[Q]

 CaptainChaos all thats left on my 'to get' list is:
PG nic base
VG
syringes
labels
 

so I reckon you still have the edge, at least all of yours is on order (in the kit)

[babs]

Add Sellotape to your lists too. Use this over your labels as the ink tends to run from the juice spilt lol

[CaptainChaos]

Good shout, babs - got the sellotape covered already

You guys are ace, cant wait to see your detailed goings on when you get started.

Well, this thread involving Q and CaptainChaos has the makings of a good sitcom! Can't wait until next weekend by which time all supplies will be in, and the mixing will be starting. Think I'm going to get me a good bottle of Shiraz, pop a new microcoil in my dripper, and sit down with some juices to test whilst having a good laugh at the Terrible Twins' mixing antics.
The only thing that I'm just a bit concerned about is the fact that Q lives about 30 miles from me - will I be affected by the fallout!?

[Perpetua]

I'd suggest when you receive your equipment CaptainChaos & Q, that you start new threads seeking any advice you may need.

chykensa, remember this is CaptainChaos we're talking about! He'll get his mixing kit and sit looking lovingly at it for a few weeks!

So true lairey, perhaps I'll have to put the Shiraz on hold - no wait, I might have to have a couple of test runs first

[Q]

amd still the questions flow... looking at the mixing calculator it seems that I will need to add nic-less PG as well as VG.
Now I'm sure I've read somewhere on here that you can buy VG from the likes of Boots but do they sell PG as well or does that have to be ordered online?

I've tried looking at Boots website and it tells you Jack**it and to visit my local Boots store means an afternoon out, where does everyone buy there supplies?
