Boots do seem to have varying in store policies on selling VG though Macca . . . so it could be worth an ask at the Pharmacy counter . . . don't say you want it for ecigs though, that seems to trigger a panic response in some Branches. Although they could just be out of stock with all the bugs, doing the rounds as Gordy says . . . . . . and there isn't a conspiracy theory after all.

right, following perps advice i added 1ml VG, 3ml storm and a few drops of the RY4 flavour to an empty bottle... think i may have overdone the flavouring as it was a bit sickly so diluted down with a bit more of the HS Storm. and may do do again this morning, see if it works out right..
Incidentally, in my local Boots, the product they had was Glycerin B.P (Glycerol)... is this the right stuff? at least if not it was only 99p and i am still alive ( evidently ).
Thx.

Lol . . . don't be disheartened James, leave your mix to steep for a couple of days, then go back and retry it . . . it may not be any better, but then again, it could be.

as is obvious from the other post i have going at the moment i am a little impetuous and want to get up to speed with things as quickly as possible... then i can start enjoying them properly.
maybe i get the kit all started, understand the juices i like, and then get into the mixing... i think the mixing is going to take a bit more practice, but hey, thats where the fun it. by end of april i'll have the perfect cohiba sorted!

incidentally, found this on screwfix direct which i think looks like a good way of managing all my bottles/carto's etc... any better ideas before i go ahead.. www.screwfix.com/p/10-compartment-storage-case-240-x-175mm/12880Also Incidentally, enjoying the Mom and Pop RY0 ( which i kind of disliked heavy from the start ) with a glass of a good quality Penfolds shiraz bin end at the moment...

I think that's sensible to get the hardware you enjoy using/want under control first James . . . then move onto mixing, it was a year I think before I started dabbling on that front.
Is that box big enough do you think?
If you're anything like me, collections/hobbies have a way of taking over . . . maybe a couple of those, one for bottles and one for carto's etc?
Your recovering taste buds could also be why you're now enjoying he Mom & Pop, plus it'll have steeped a little now.

well, i was thinking of buying 3 of the boxes... looks like i can fit a 10mg bottle and cart in each of the containers easily.
I think i am enjoying the RY0 now because the lack of additional flavourings allow me to enjoy the wine as i am used to in the past... so incidentally, any other recommendations for a really straight/authentic strong tobacco flavour would be greatly appreciated,, even with a bit of cuban cigar influence would be good.....

3 . . . that sounds more like it James! I don't really vape baccy flavours anymore, so can't be much help to you, although I don't mind DK Tab every now and again.

3 for now.. at this rate i'll probably end up with about 5.
sorry for the lack of forum knowledge, but DK Tab? what is it , where from. i got Dekang camel and some one with a bull on it and not overly impressed with either (as yet )... i am presuming the camel flavour was implying it tastes like a north african beast of burden mores than a particular brand of tobacco

You are indeed reading it right Whufc . . . Paula is very reasonable on her prices. No discount codes to the best of my knowledge James, but someone may know better than me, as I've not bought any juice from her for a bit, since the mixing bug gripped me.
