Hi, lesley1 .... I wondered where you had got to with this I used the nic combine tool from the EjuiceMeUp calculator (and some trial and error) to calculate the 3.3ml of 0mg/ml diluent per 10ml of 24mg/ml eliquid. (Where the 3.3ml of 0mg/ml diluent could be VG, PG or 0mg/ml e-liquid) Yes , if you mixed 10ml of 24mg/ml with 10ml of 12mg/ml you would also achieve 18mg/ml. Yay π That sounds like a sensible option for me at the moment. I didn't get very far but everyday is a school day and I'm learning a lot (also a lot I don't understand at the minute lol) I need to remember it's wee steps first and I'm not a in a race lol! I think I'm becoming a tad obsessed π

Need to remember the little steps not the flat out race to the finish π

You would need to dilute it with a lower strength e-liquid, or dilutent such as VG or PG. If you have 10ml of 24mg/ml and add an additional 3.3ml of 0mg/ml dilutent you get 13.3ml of 18mg/ml e-liquid. If you have 30ml of 24mg/ml and add an additional 9.9ml of 0mg/ml dilutent you get 39.9ml of 18mg/ml e-liquid. Note : Using just VG and/or PG will dilute the flavour slightly too. VG is available from pharmacy's such as Boots (Β£1.49) in 200ml bottles and is called Glycerin, or from DIY ecig suppliers: [ETA] - I'm having to pop out for a few hours... I'll reply to any response later! Hi Sorry I thought I had replied to this....don't know where it's gone π€ Thanks for the info. Where does the 3.3 ml come from? I've had a look at some handy (not!!!) calculator things but have given up the will to live lol!! Would mixing it with another 10ml bottle with 12mg have the same result?

Set your Pico into variable wattage mode (the default, if you haven't fiddled around too much). Make sure your coils are well primed (at least 10 mins soaking in the tank) I'm currently vaping on a 1.8 Triton coil at 8.6W and airflow control wide open with good results. Just increase or decrease the power level until you find a sweet spot for yourself. Oh and fit a regular 510 drip tip instead of the wide bore thingy supplied with the tank I haven't started fiddling yet just opened the box and read the instructions then put it away as I had no clue π€ The wide bore tip doesn't appeal to me and I will definitely change that. Thank you for the help π

Ahh but does having a say have an impact? I will though have mine if the options there π At this stage it's the best that we've got.... will it make an impact.... maybe not, but worth trying. You can then help organise a protest when we need to throw our toys out of the pram!! All done :-) No problem. Cani throw your toys out instead of mine??

Sure sounds like a lot . I think I might have to organise a protest π€ Before the protest.... there's an EU consultation at the moment. More info in THIS thread of how to have a say. Ahh but does having a say have an impact? I will though have mine if the options there π

1 litre of 72mg/ml nicotine will make enough 18mg/ml e-liquid for 2 years if consuming less than 38ml/weekΒ A stash of nicotine base should be seen as insurance / future proofing. I strongly suspect at some point in the next few years TAX is going to be added to nicotine containing e-liquids Based on Β£1.00 per 10ml taxation a single 1lt bottle of 72mg could save the owner vaping at 3mg around Β£2400 in tax ---- note at 18mg = Β£400 saving --- Maths 72 divided by 3 = 24 24 x 1000 = 24000 24000 divided by 10 = 2400 2400 x Β£1.00 =Β£2400 Sure sounds like a lot . I think I might have to organise a protest π€

I shall Google where it is πAs long as you don't all show me up with your sooper dooper gear lol!! striker42,Β gill2009 and the others that go to the Edinburgh meet are a good bunch (even if they have strange accents..... oh, you probably have one of those too!! lol)
I had the pleasure of meeting them at Vapefest UK in Shrewsbury last summer. My accent is perfectly normal. In Scotland π

At that consumption and strength Postmodern Smoking , even a couple of litres, funds permitting, will at least get most through the initial period of restriction until we see if their is, or will be, any relaxation or change to the bombscare directive. Yup.... as you know... well worth investing in at least a couple of litres, IMHO.... I've also just started a poll, to see what people have stashed! Although I realise that not everyone currently mixes (silly them! )Lol you folks are bad influences!!!

lesley1 I have a couple of Melo 3 minis and they are indeed great tanks and the Triton coils work fine in them, the ECML coils that are linked to above are also MTL (mouth to lung) coils which is what you are after, just because the are only 0.75ohm doesn't mean you will be sub-ohming with them, they are just another addition to the coil range as so many people wanted a MTL coil for them. However as also stated above you really don't have to use the Melo with the Pico if you don't want to, any tank with a 510 threading will fit the Pico and there is a whole matchy matchy world out there to try, I am also of the matching mindset as I have OCD pretty bad but I use all sorts of tanks on the Pico and just change the drip tip out to a matching one. Satisfies my OCD matching mind and means I don't have to use the Melo all the time although I haven't a problem using it at all. [br I'm definitely fernikety π Is that even a word? Lol! Tbh I'm not actually sure what sub-ohming is. It takes enough brain power to figure this stuff out!! I'll definitley get some of the Triton coils.....at least then I can happily use the thing......hopefully, maybe, potentially π¬
