Hi....me again ☹️
I have an Eleaf I stick (turns out it is a 20w not a 30 as I thought) Note to self....read the box!!! I have ordered a Pico 75w. I don't know why, I don't need it mine works fine, I had been looking at the 30w, but it was all shiny looking, has loads of features most of which I don't need!! And it was relatively cheap. Do you think the Pico at 75w too big a jump from a 20w? I won't be sub ohming or doing anything fancy. Will my current 18mg liquids be ok with this? Have I just bought the wrong thing???? Eek

Many months ago I swore I would never order from GB again, but recently I could not get a certain tank I was looking for from any other Chinese vendor. With a bit of trepidation I placed the order and was pleasantly surprised the next morning when I got the dispatched email . 5 days later the tank arrived, excellent, with a bit of confidence returning I ordered some HE4 batteries, again dispatched the next morning, and arrived some 10days later. Since then I have ordered 3 tanks in that time, all separate orders, all arriving within 5-10 days by British Express. From my point of view GB have really upped their game, i am not saying things may not go wrong at times just like in any business, but it does seem as if GB have really pulled out all the stops since 2015. Credit must also go to isabel22 who does a cracking job on here. So all in all well done Gearbest! I've just placed an order on this site. First ever purchase from China. Let's hope it's not a disaster

Ok so the site doesn't have tonnes of stuff but im not needing lots only a couple of bits for my I stick. Ordered a K1 glassomizer and some coils. Both had some money off so they were really cheap ( and genuine). They face booked me and emailed to confirm and update me and they were with me less than 24 hrs after ordering. With free delivery!!! Really couldn't ask for more in terms of service. Happy days :-))

Good idea. Don't know why I didn't....I was waiting on the magic unicorn to sort everything for me lol x There's usually a monthly -ish Edinburgh afternoon meet at a wee bar up there, keep your eyes open on this board: allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/board/33/vapefest-uk-meet-ups gill2009 taz96 striker42 macmagoo are a few that often go to it, maybe they could tag you when they advertise the next meet... if you'd be interested? [ETA] - I think that their next meet will be in March It's good to know. Thanks for sharing :-))

Hiya I did query it with the site, there's something not right with them. Other sites I've used have always been happy to help or answer my queries. How can I be assured they are safe ? I'm a dessert fan banoffee pie/ Creme brulee would be my top pics, I've ordered other types recently fruity, minty but not found anything wow. I need a wow :-) I have an I stick 30w which I've not had any problems with thus far nout wrong with the isticks as thats what i gave up with and still going strong after 2 years. i dont diy so cant help with how to test it but might be an idea to stick it in the dark for a month as it might just be fresh batch and need a steep. but the way they wouldnt ask questions is a bit suspect so as said may also be worth dumping. sites worth having a look at are drip drop vapour and re juiced who both do some really good flavors. also TPD complient so gone through all the government testing and still about £2-4 Ta much I will check those but I have banned myself from buying any more lol!

Hi lesley1 I mix my own and sometimes I make mistakes. When this happens, as long as the mistake is not with the Nic Base amount, then it gets tipped into my "Rubbish" bottle and put to one side. I have no idea what is in that bottle, but I know it is made up of juices I didn't like, mistakes of adding the wrong amount of concentrate and various other shaky hand moments I have had during measuring. However, it does taste rather nice, considering that some mixtures have been "maturing" in there for a couple of years. A kind of "Extra Special Mixed Reserve". All my mixes are the same 24mg strength so I know that as long as it tastes okay, it will be safe to vape. Lol I dread to think!!! Bound to be potent though....maybe you should bottle it? I'm sure someone would buy it :-)

Hi lesley1 <<< Ithank you! I will have a look at that as unconvinced what I bought isn't the correct strength and it would be a shame to throw it out >>> Perhaps better to throw it out than kill yourself. Only a suggestion, but where Nic Strength is concerned, I tend to err on the side of caution. You're probably right. Don't want to make myself I'll....that's why I'm trying to stop smoking in the first place

Hi Lesley thanks to the TPD (tobacco product directive) all liquids as of May 17th this year will have had to go through stringent tests to be legally sold in the UK (of course we know there will still be plenty of dodgy daves selling on street corners, ebay, facebook until they have their sites taken down. as of May 10ml bottles will be the maximum size you can buy unless they are zero nicotine so things will get more controlled. also tanks will be limited to a max size of 2ml and the max nic strength available will be 20mg. youve not mentioned what sort of kit you are using. is it a pen type or box mod and tank. ive never heard of craft liqud so cant advise on that but there are plenty of sites that members can recommend. what sorts of flavors are you into? Hiya I did query it with the site, there's something not right with them. Other sites I've used have always been happy to help or answer my queries. How can I be assured they are safe ? I'm a dessert fan banoffee pie/ Creme brulee would be my top pics, I've ordered other types recently fruity, minty but not found anything wow. I need a wow :-) I have an I stick 30w which I've not had any problems with thus far

Ahh but could I add more to what is supposed to be 18mg? Or would I end up killing myself??? And how do you figure out how much to add? Maths is not my forte :-( The difficulty there is that you are unsure how much nicotine that you are starting with, to know how much to add to take it to around 18mg/ml. You could experiment though adding a little at a time and up to say a maximum of 1ml (of 72mg/ml nicotine) per 10ml of eliquid. ( If it was 18mg/ml adding 1ml of 72mg/ml would take it to 22.9mg/ml) Ithank you! I will have a look at that as unconvinced what I bought isn't the correct strength and it would be a shame to throw it out

Perpetua could you please ban me from this part of the forum???? Every time I see a discount code I'm straight online buying stuff. Am off work sick just now and really shouldn't be shopping lol!! My mum will thank you xx You couldn't have picked a worse person to ask lesley1! Love online shopping, love love a bargain . . . . . probably best if your Mum just adds me to her Bad Influence book now. Ohh she'd hunt you down and nag you to death!!

I would suggest popping your location in your forum profile as well lesley1 if only so we can invite you to local vape meets and/or point you in the direction of good vape shops local to you. I know if you (or anyone here) lived in my area I'd be more than happy to meet up over coffee and do wine vape sample testing, coil rebuilding lessons or even DIY mixing hands on experience classes Good idea. Don't know why I didn't....I was waiting on the magic unicorn to sort everything for me lol x

You could take a gander at the mixing section on the forum. It's very easy to make your own liquid and you'll know for sure the nicotine levels are right. The tricky part is playing with flavours if you are mixing several flavours together, the rest is a doddle. Making your own is a money saver too. Or you could just buy 0mg juice ready made from a retailer and add your own nicotine. Ahh but could I add more to what is supposed to be 18mg? Or would I end up killing myself??? And how do you figure out how much to add? Maths is not my forte :-(

lesley1 remember the forum's motto - the only stoopid question is the one you don't ask To explain - Never feel that a question is too dumb, stupid or whatever, ask anything and everything and answers will be forthcoming....this forum prides itself on being the friendliest, most helpful forum out there, so feel free and ask anything Ohh thank you :-) I have about a million thus far but am pacing myself lol
