Thanks babs   , I'll get a bottle on Monday and I've ordered 1ml and 5ml syringes with Blunt needles on Ebay. So it's just PG and NIC base to get. PG seems to be in plentiful supplies online at 100ml but I was looking for 72mg NIC base in smaller quantities than appears to be available. Most sites seem to start at 100ml for £10 to £15. I thought I would start with 25ml but can't find it in small quantities.

I went for 100ml to start off with (in September), I started mixing at 18 mg, quickly down to 15, 12 and 10, and I am now on to my second bottle of 100ml. It will last and provided you get on with the mixing ok, you will use it

Everything now on order *shopping* or already here except VG liquid that I will get from Boots tomorrow. I ordered the PG and NIC base from Vape Inc., as that appeared to be the cheapest for 100mls. I'm beginning to get excited.    . I must get a Rincewind Wizzard Hat.  .

The best laid plans o mice etc. I thought I would have all the ingredients here by now and have my first 10ml batches steeping ready for the New Year but not it seems.  Still waiting on the NIC base and PG liquids from Vape Inc. They shipped on Monday first class mail, but at this time of year .....Curse you Santa, It's all your fault . Unfortunately going off to my Sisters for Christmas so won't be back till the 27th and it should have arrived by then.

[sydsut]

NIC base and PG liquid parcel languishing in local Royal Mail office until I can pick it up tomorrow.

[Perpetua]

Something to look forward to though sydsut.

Well that's my first mix done. Just a simple one to start with. 10ml of a single flavour - 15% Healthcabin Coffee at 50/50 PG/VG and 16mg Nic. I was ready to stick it away in the cupboard for a weeks steeping and thought I would just have a wee taste. I'm amazed at how good it was in a dripper, much better than any of the pre-made coffees I've tasted before. Really a nice nutty coffee flavour and no chemically after taste. Looking forward now to next week and see how it has developed, although I suppose with only one flavouring it may be ready to go now. Tomorrow I'll start on some other flavours and see how it goes. Thanks again to all for their help, advice, support and especially to @johanino  who sent me some concentrates to get started. . THIS REALLY IS THE BEST FORUM IN THE UNIVERSE.
