I'll of course say mix your own, which brings down the cost dramatically if you're subohming . . . . other than that, the choices are vast - but for a quid these could be worth a try:

I had some when they first came out and they weren't bad . . . . . there's a thread with some feedback, so I'll go find that for you c1booth .

You might think differently if you take to subohming Chris!

Once you've invested in the Nic Base/VG/PG it's a heck of a lot less costly . . . . and with the terrific range of ' one shots ' now it's easily possible to create ' premium ' tasting eliquid, without the expense.

Rejuiced are OK for 70.30 VG liquid although I find a lot of their flavours hit and miss.

If you buy their juice of the week it's usually a pound or pound fifty for 10ml

I would heartily recommend DIY mixing too though

[c1booth]

were would be best place to buy all the things required to mix your own?

I run 2 alien kits one with tfv8 baby and one with tfv8 big baby I would advise getting the RBA kit for your tfv8 baby there very easy to wick and coil, if you do get the RBA kit make sure it has the new glass with the kit only it's slightly taller to acomerdate the RBA.

Actually all you really need are some empty bottles (child proof if have children) and something to measure fluids in. I just use a measuring cylinder (£1.69) from Creme Supplies

 www.creamsupplies.co.uk/academy-glass-measuring-cylinder-100ml

Plus some nicotine base from say Darkstar or everything liquid (others will suggest other retailers) some PG; Some VG (from same place you get the nic probably) and some flavouring; numerous places to get those including the nic suppliers already mentioned.

if I'm going vg heavy would you get Nic vg?

Not necessarily. I believe some heavy VG users deliberately buy PG based nic (and flavourings perhaps) and then just add VG.

This simple calculator allows you to specify what base your nic/flavourings is using;

www.ejuicelab.co.uk/calculator.html

High VG results in very thick e-juice. Some people add very small amounts of distilled water to make it wickable.

(Other advice is available I aim at about 50/50 VG/ PG so I am not speaking from experience of very high VG mixes)

Might be worth checking out BigJuice Chris . . . . as they're currently offering a 40% discount on everything using 2016 coupon code.

www.bigjuiceuk.co.uk/

Incidentally I mix for myself VG heavy eliquid, as I'm PG sensitive . . . . so VG base, PG concentrates ( I can tolerate up to 30% ) then I just top up with VG.

Get in there quickly with BigJuice - they have Chicken tikka and Cheese and Onion on special at the moment - vaping nirvana

I would say maybe no.

The people looking to mix decently high VG (not max VG) often use the Nicotine and flavours in PG then simply add VG to the top of the bottle.

For example, if you are making 30ml, you might use a few ml of Nicotine base liquid (PG) and 4.5ml of flavours (15%). Once you've done that, you basically throw in 20+ ml of VG. That would be over 2/3rds VG which is plenty.

VG is horrible stuff to use with syringes, so being able to just chuck it in the bottle is great.

Most of my stuff comes out at over 66% VG, sometimes nearer 70%. I don't even like VG!

with my new kit I've started on the shop told me I need certain juice which was 80/20 so thought id have to mix like that if I was to do my own
