Wow , thanks again for all the info guys. I have one more question though. Sorry.
Perpetua has shown me where to get pre made coils , how do you decide which ones to buy?
Does it depend on the dripper or battery you're using?

Looking for bit of advice really. Am just new to the vape scene and have started mixing my own this week . While the steeping process happens i'm looking to make the next step to a sub ohm mod, tank and a dripper. Perpetua has been a massive help along the way and she suggested i'd get good advice here. This is the Mod link This is the Tank link And unless someone can suggest another , this is the dripper. link My eyesight is probably just good enough to be able to rebuild this but do those little coils come made that shape and can you buy them in bags of 10 or something? How long do they last? Is there cotton in these as i cant see any and noticed a few others do? Does someone have experience with this or a similar dripper and are they easy to change? Thanks in advance.  |

Thanks Perpetua, you have been a great help . I'm starting to see things more clearly now.
As for building my own, NO, i don't fancy it as my eyes are bad but i realise to get the best out of vaping i'll really need to. I now see it as a bit of a challenge and by god do i love a challenge. Lol...
I have a few bits in my basket so far, ill start a thread like you suggested and see what the consensus is before i commit on a dripper.
Thanks everyone for all your help.

Dunno what to try my mixes in Perpetua. I actually cant believe the prices on that site . They are half the price of UK sellers.
That looks like a cracking mod and may just go for that , will any of those tanks do with it, sorry for my ignorance, my head is bursting trying to take it all in. Is that one of the mods you can add a dripper to for tasting , are they expensive?

Can't wait now, really considering going for a sub ohm machine so i can appreciate it a bit more. What have you got to use currently Stomper ? You may find a dripper of some description useful for testing your potions . . . . . I currently use an iStick 1.8 ohm and max 16.8 watts with K1 and K2 atomisers. The K1 is mouth to lung and the K2 is straight to lung. I enjoy using this as its discreet and can walk about my work chuffing away. Anything bigger for during the day is not do-able although could use something else of an evening. |

I'm going to suggest a few basic concentrates that you might find useful to have in at some time in the future Stomper for adding depth and layering flavours if you're not going to go down the one-shot route and would prefer to create your own recipes from scratch: Capella Vanilla Custard V1 Cake Batter Sweet Cream New York Cheesecake Marshmallow The Perfumers/Flavour Apprentice
French Vanilla Deluxe Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Flavorah
Chocolate Deutsch Be wary of adding too much extra sweetener to your mixes as it will be a coil gunker. Thanks Perpetua. Couldn't find them all where i buy mines from but ordered vanilla custard, sweet cream, NY cheesecake, marshmallow and vanilla bean. I went for Caramel, sugar cookie, chocolate, strawberry ripe and raspberry. So will have an excellent collection to start with and to suit my tastebuds . |

Kool.
Still really new to all this.
Can i ask something? What's the lick test, can you taste the flavourings straight out the bottle? Does it give you an indication to what the mixed liquid tastes like? If so i'm off to taste them all now.....

Well i've done it. 20ml of pink lemonade made for the wife 20ml of butterscotch and candy cane for moi , the butterscotch smell was amazing and sniffed all the others which in their own right smell lush but was determined to make something i couldn't buy so added a bit of candy cane to the mix 15ml butterscotch and 5ml of candy cane to make up my 20% flavour. Here's hoping my first combo isn't a disaster. Now the waiting game . Only 6 days and 23 1/2 hours to go till i find out.  I'm confused.... you say that you made 20ml.... yet you added 15ml + 5ml candy cane ? do you mean 15% and 5%, by any chance Stomper ?Those flavours should steep quite quickly (if you're impatient).... nothing wrong with a sneaky sampling to monitor it's progress  Doh! , sorry , yes i meant % , i have edited OP. I am looking forward to trying them so may end up having a wee taster earlier than suggested . I don't use a dripper though so if its crap ill end up ruining or tainting a coil. |

Great prices there Stomper  Flavour percentage will depend on the flavour concerned. 20% is just the default value in the calculator that you are using. I haven't used the above flavours to be able to suggest a starting point percentage-wise. ... You may also need to experiment a bit. Sweetness can come from the flavours naturally, although extra sweetness can be added, as I see you've included one type of sweetener in your order. (TFA Cotton candy, I believe is ethyl maltol which is also a different type of sweetener that can be added to mixes to sweeten them). Lol , i wish they were that price i'd have ordered more, they came as part of a package. |
