A from me too.

The great thing about this forum is we've all been where you are now, we have made the mistakes and we have found the solutions so you don't have to make them, we can help guide you through especially as a new Vaper.

You have received a lot of advice and I am pretty sure your head is spinning taking it all in.

To summarise:

A good place to start is to get an Evod kit from Myepack HERE
This has everything you need to get you going and enough replaceable coils to last a couple of months at least.

If you don't have a wall charger with a USB output a good idea is to get another one like THIS

Juices

JoosJuice - are cheap and a reasonable quality and can be foud HERE HOWEVER anything other than a menthol flavour is fresh mixed and ideally needs a week or 2 to "Steep" (mature) before they are at their best, this is common with some juice manufacturers.

LT ECigs - Are also reasonably priced you can find them HERE

I'd recommend you get 3 or 4 flavours at first a couple of tobacco and a couple of other flavours (mint/menthol/fruit). At 18mg strength.

While you may seem to spend a fair bit when you first start the savings come after you get your kit and provided you're not tempted to try everything out there (a problem for some members on here!) The Evod kit/batteries (other than consumables) should last a year at least.

One last thing, where are you? We have regular meet ups all over the country and a hour spent with an experienced Vaper can really help when you first start out.

Good luck, and remember the only stupid question is the one you do not ask!

So what do you mix 'em in

you can get small 10ml needle nose bottles to mix flavours into,probably from where you get e-juice or starter kit. Look in accessories.

Or if you've already ordered you can pick them up in a local vape shop for about 50p'ish. Then just mix some flavours you think might taste good together.

It is trail and error and depends on what you like.

I use a 50% tobacco then add a custard(sweetens and adds vanilla which i love) a fruit (blackberry, raspberry, cherry, blueberry ect) and a small amount of menthol or aniseed(anise) or both/none. I just vary the fruit and menthol/anise to make each mix a bit different.

Looks like I've got my work cut out then!! So you can just experiment with anything until you hit the right taste? Are the flavours strong & do some over power others? Sorry for being a menace but I really am clueless (it's my age I think!!)

Des,
I noticed that you've been vaping since 2009. Are you still at it?

Yes just have go at adding one flavour to another, you don't have to make a full 10ml bottle, just 1ml of one and 1ml of another to see how they taste when mixed together.

Some flavours are strong enough to make your eyes water. You can get some strong menthol's and aniseed, too overpowering for me to vape on their own, but great for adding just a bit to spice up what you make.

Tobacco's are the hard one, to find something that resembles what you are used to, For me it was a case of using the least offensive which was Virginia, and now i add other flavours to it, i find it very nice when mixed. RY4 is another popular tobacco, this one is more like 'old holburn' which has more flavour than Virginia.

Don't worry about asking questions, we don't mind trying to give a few pointers to help out.

Hi and WeeWah to AAEC.

If you like the idea of mixing your own liquid, do it sooner than later. There is a way of doing which is far more simple than having 4 different bottles of "stuff" and calculators and .. (the list goes on...)

You can buy ready-mixed unflavoured liquid that just needs putting into a bottle (10ml, 30ml, whatever) and a squirt of flavour. (then leaving/steeping...)

www.ltecigs.larsentilbrook.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=61_84_85

I made some RY4 Nutzilla flavour on Wednesday, which I'm vaping on right now. 9.5ml of base liquid and just under 1ml of flavour.

Couldn't be easier. All for less than 70p.

You can do Menthol or Citrus or many others really easily. It's only *posh* ones that require complicated recipes.

If you were to try some shop-made liquid from LT and find one you like, chances are they would do the concentrate. That's how I'm doing it. Work my way through the most of the "shop" at LT and then start making my own of the ones I like the best.
