I'd be opening a little home-based eliquid business toots

Make enough to vape for free yourself.

I would too, it should eventually get there if it isnt yet I did see over on Lanzarote they had started selling the evod type refillables,
get in at the beginning and make a name for yourself, I didnt notice any juice but I also wasnt looking

You gotta be joking, have you heard the draconian regs the Spanish government are bringing out with regards to the TPD?
I don't wanna be locked up in jail that's for sure  The prisons in the UK are luxury hotels compared to the Canarian prisons

There is no demand, nobody else mixes their own juice or is even interested in mixing their own, everyone over here is on the little ego type batteries & ce4 type clearos, you ask tim, he'll tell ya, he's seen 'em all for himself when he came over. Gould knows how they continue to manage on them for any length of time

You might still want to order in bulk just for yourself toots. Especially if you discover the drippers available at the mo, like the Velocity. Or even the Smok TFV4 tank..... that's thirsty!!!!

I'm just sticking to my kanger subtanks and my lemo drop tanks, they're thirsty enough for me. I'm actually preferring my lemo drops to the kanger tanks, only problem is I'm forever filling the flippin things up coz they don't hold as much as the kanger ones, and anyway I've had enough problems trying to get the VG over here without needing to get more shipped over

The problem with Spain, Canaries even more so, is that it is no problem going outside to smoke. So I can't see vaping ever being as big as it is in the colder countries. They don't seem to have "issues" with smoking that the rest of the modern world have. I wouldn't set up a vaping business there for a good few years yet, if ever.

Yes, tim you are so right. I did once contemplate setting up a small vaping shop here as I felt I knew more about vaping than the staff in one of the main e-cig shops I used to go to when I first started vaping, would you believe that the 2 staff members were not vapers and had never ever smoked!!!

Anyway I soon changed my mind due to a lot of people's attitudes to vaping here, especially the Spanish people as they really have been brainwashed into thinking vaping is worse than smoking. Also the fact that there is not much incentive to vape here because as you say it is no problem to nip outside to have a fag, also the cost is another factor, fags are tooooo cheap here, they are cheaper than vaping!!!

Yes @chris2005 I did, I use that site sometimes for some concentrates if I want them quickly as orders from them are very quick to get here. They only sell VG in 100ml bottles and they work out at around 2.50 euros per 100ml. The postage costs aren't too bad at only 7 euros though. But at 2.50 euros a bottle I'd need 10 of them which would cost me 25 euros + 7 euros totalling 32 euros for 1 litre and that works out expensive.

In the UK where Tim got me my last bottle I saw theirs was only £6.50 for 1 litre so when you compare those 2 prices you can see why I was pulling my hair out eh!! I checked their shipping policy and they don't do any international shipping

toots - I have a similar problem on the Costa Blanca, I now use a post shop ie ship to a UK address which is then forwarded on to Spain at cost of delivery ie recently ordered 1 ltr of PG and VG free postage to a UK address then charged 6.95 Eur when collected

Do you have something similar???

Yeah I saw those bottles and there was one there with 20pg/80vg 0 nic but I have an intolerance to PG which is why I use only VG liquid. I did seriously think about that bottle but then I thought about the concentrates being in PG and if I used 20% flavouring plus having 20% PG in the base liquid it would be far too much PG for me.

They don't realise how lucky they are in the UK do they @chris2005 - they can get everything a lot cheaper and easier than we can

I don't know what you are talking about, have never heard of a post shop, how do you set that up? Sounds like a brilliant way to do things.

That is a good price, however I am rather reluctant to use that site. I placed an order with this guy back in June and he cocked it all up big time. Not one item I ordered did I actually receive. Instead I got all replacements of other stuff even though it stated on the site that what I had ordered and paid for was in stock, the site even stated how many in stock there was of each item. Also because it was all out of stock he didn't even let me know, I ended up having to contact him to ask where my order 70 euro order was and that's when I learnt nothing was in stock and had to ask for other stuff to the value of what I had paid.

I ended up with a stack of batteries which I really didn't need (although always useful) in order to make the order up to the value I had paid out. Also one of the items I settled on in a particular colour arrived in a completely different colour. He did pop in a couple of freebie bottles of juice as compensation but they were no good to me as the nic was too high along with too high a pg content - I ended up giving them away lol.

My fear would be that I would get a bottle of PG instead of VG or end up with another stack of batteries

cant offer any helpful suggestions, but the nerd in me is screaming out to type that VG is used as an antifreeze by some, folk who want to store and preserve live yeast cultures can do so in a VG suspension in the freeer (generally a bit colder than domestic freezers tho..)
