Thanks Perpetua, may just stick to making my own.

I wanted to ask you a question about your high VG mixes. Do you dilute your VG, and how is the wicking with it?

I'm going to start mixing high VG as I think I'm becoming PG intolerant. I'm finding that my chest tightens using higher PG mixes and I'm getting really sore spots inside my nose. I've just always been worried about getting high VG to wick, but recently vaped a bottle of 80% VG Custard from I Fancy One. It was really creamy and smooth, found it much easier to vape and it wicked perfectly in my Subtank.

I dilute my VG with roughly 10% vodka iLardyboy. I also think it gives the flavours a little bit of a boost

I probably won't buy it again iLardyboy, it was curiousity as much as anything that I did . . . . you know how it is!

Don't dilute my VG/VG Base at all . . . only one I do that with ( then not by that much ) is Nicvapes, as it really is a thick base - although very nice. The bases I've bought in the UK since, have all been considerably thinner and I don't like watery eliquid, so haven't bothered.

No problems with wicking in anything I use, even top coils - the occasional swoosh sorts that out.

It's a pain if you have become PG sensitive, I did after 18 months vaping - but VG bases are much more widely available now, which is great . . . and I've never been a big fan of throat hit, so VG heavy suits me better really.

My thinking is the atomisers/clearomizers we have now and the improved wick materials, have cut out/down many of the issues we used to have with high VG.

Thanks Perpetua and lairey, the VG I use is from Classikool. Have either of you used it before?

I've never tried a custard I figure trying something like this rather than risk buying lots of concs and making up one of the recipes off here like clc only to discover i'm not a custard fan. Are there any other premade custards you'd reccomend?

The one i mentioned above from I Fancy One is excellent and is mixed at 80/20 VG/PG. I also highly recommend Devilicious Custard from Charlie's Vape Shop, it's a 50/50 blend. Both taste completely different but are equally good.

Not personally, but I know plenty do.  reddragon was having a problem with "flat" flavours and gave a drop of vodka a go and she found it really lifted them, so even if i didn't dilute for viscosity, i woukd carry on doing so anyway

Not me iLardyboy . . . good old Boots/Lloyds Chemist stuff I've always bought.

But they're a well used/recommended company.

I've used Boots before, they are about the same thickness. Only way to know is to mix some up I suppose, I'm just waiting on some concentrates coming from Chefs.

Any of you used Lime Zinger or Ecto Cooler before and can recommend a percentage for them?

[Perpetua]

Lime Zinger is perfect for me at 20% iLardyboy . . . assuming it's DV's?

It is DV Perps, do you add any sweetener to it, or is it sweet enough without? Was thinking maybe 18% plus 2% Ethyl Maltol to give me an 80/20 mix.

It is Tootin Juice mate but it's the Cloud Chaser range. They have 3 different flavours in the range, Vanilla Custard, Trifle Tower and Rainbow Kick.

The Trifle Tower is delicious too, haven't tried Rainbow Kick.

No sweetener for me iLardyboy, I thought it was lovely as it was . . . .

Thanks Perps, I'll give that a go. Really need a change from all these dessert vapes, custard's seeping through my pores.

I know that feeling well!


Some nice fresh, fruity flavours help cut through the Custardy Overload considerably.

Thats a shame as at £17 a bottle it'd probably be cheaper to try something like clc, plus the lowest it comes in is 3mg and I vape 0 so even if it were cheaper it wouldn't work for me.
