So just recieved the 70/30 pg/vg base mix it's not giving me a throat hit at all on its own but hoping once I mix the menthol crystals in that will improve ?  Hi rezello, the following additives will give you what your looking for. Purchase 10ml bottles from FLAVOUR ART.co.uk and add to your crystal mix... FLASH HIT ENHANCER - gives ' throat hit ' for zero to low nic mixes. Start by adding Drips x5 per 10ml mix. POLAR BLAST - gives additional ' ice cooling ' effect. Start by adding Drips x1 per 10ml mix. Brilliant thank you I'll give it ago... I mixed my menthol crystals in and rather than a throat hit it just took my breath away as I think I added far too much and then left a pretty nasty after taste  |

Literally you'll just need PG to dilute menthol crystals in rezello . . . which you could use like that giving you a 100% PG liquid, although you'd probably prefer some vapour, there won't be a huge amount otherwise. So if you aimed for a 70(PG)/30(VG) ratio perhaps, that would help to give some throat hit also as well as a wee bit more vapour.
The amount of menthol crystals you use is very much dependent on your personal tastes, so there's a little trial and error there, they're very reasonable . . . but you can make a nic free menthol eliquid inexpensively, tailored to suit you.  Thank you I've just purchased the 70/30 pgvg mix and will be purchasing some crystals thankyou so much  |

Hi Perpetua  so ideally I'd like to purchase a ready made however if its better to mix then how much would I need to dilute to make say 10 mls and what exactly do I dilute with and how much and how do I do it I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to mixing I've only ever bought the liquids ready made. Thanks in advance  |

Hi guys it's been a while and I dont know if I'm creating a new thread in the right place but I'm after someone that can mix a decent nic free ice menthol juice that will give me as close a hit as a nic would using either a 1.8 or 1.6 coil I have a 50/50 currently and its awful too much sweet taste going on and no hit to the back of the throat whatsoever which I'm using mtl 1.6 coil ... Thanks in advance  |

Go Trev! It's not boring and there's something special that you raised with your own hands from a seed. For my part the garden is very much a work in progress. When I moved in this spring it was three lawns and one tiny, not very exciting border. One lawn is surrounded on three sides by an overgrown Leylandii hedge which has got to go - that won't be cheap. Spent most of the summer decorating/fixing up the inside, so only dug out a couple of new borders so far. Next year I will focus on digging up more lawn as I hate mowing grass. (It is number two on my list of pointless activities, only bested by washing the car). Thankyou! I’m very horticulturally challenged so for me to grow something as spectacular as Trev was a massive accomplishment for me...I will have to post an up to date picture tomorrow as I’m most proud of him I do love my Trev and he is doing his best and doing me proud bless him . Lawns are massively hard work especially if you’re in a new build like me as they dont have the best foundations and soil for ease of luxurious grass that I am so very jealous of when I see other people’s especially when they don’t seem to put much effort into it and just land themselves with what I like to call “lawn porn”. I have had to have mine changed to fake grass after putting many many hours into having the perfect lawn only to be repaid with a boggy mess as soon as the rain falls  . This is the second new build I’ve been in where I’ve had to replace the lawn with fake grass which actually I hate ha ha! I would love to have that perfect lawn and I enjoy cutting a good lawn personally but totally get that others may not  . good luck with your borders and the transformation of your own garden you will have to post some piccies I love nosying at others creations  |

Brilliant! He'll probably come into his own next year. Some of my flowering plants have just flowered. I need to cut them back hard after to encourage bushiness etc. It's all trial and error. Best I get rid of the weeds too (eventually) A weed is only a plant in the place where you don't want it ... Trevs rolled his sleeves up and is proper going for it     |

Do you mean his branches? I feel like I’ll be cutting him down as I’m sure most of them are dead? Sorry I’m new to all of this Only if there's no life in them. You want him to concentrate his energy into the new shoots which will become branches. I'm sure it's better to prune when dormant, November time??!! Or you could wait until next spring and see what has survived  I'd be tempted to just wait. With those new shoots, it looks like he's adapting. I cut down a huge bush to about 2 inches to basically kill it off, but it's grown back better than before. Nature is amazing! I'm also umming and ahhing whether to chop down a fig tree to enable it to produce lower branches but I'm very hesitant and also waiting til spring. I did and I didn’t take your advice, so I looked closely to see where he was sprouting from and it seems he was sprouting from areas where twigs had come away, so I helped a little and took the other dead twigs off, by just snapping them where they were easy to snap and leaving the ones that weren’t (not a lot were not easy to snap if that makes sense) and since doing that he seems to have blossomed into action! I am hopeful that he continues and we see a whole new tree before the summer is out, I will post new pictures of his progress when I get a chance but so far he is making brilliant progress! I am so happy  And yes, nature is truly amazing, I’ve had tomatoes plants come up through gravel when I have thought I had pulled them all up before! And I have seen plants grow through tarmac and concrete! You cannot stop Mother Nature and I love it |

Scratch the stems. Any brown bits, cut them off. They're dead. Good job on his revival. Looks like he'll come back better than ever! Do you mean his branches? I feel like I’ll be cutting him down as I’m sure most of them are dead? Sorry I’m new to all of this |

Good luck with Trev the magnolia rezello . Can't say I can offer too much info that'd help though. Not really a green thumb sorta fella myself.  What I have seen with our two is that they do not like *our* full summer sun.
As to yards? Well, I gotta say a couple of the yards posted here sure seem pretty nice and clearly reflect a lot of effort from their owners. Ours? Well, not so nice at the moment. See, a month or so ago the crapper stopped working. So an army of plumbers and misc assorted machinery did this:    40 plus year old earthenware pipes had collapsed. On a sunday. *sigh* Now, am progressing through restoring damaged lawn. Not the best time to do it though, being the middle of winter here and things somewhat dormant. Ah, well.
Admittedly I looked at the first couple of pics without reading and thought, “well he’s doing something spectacular that’ll blow ours out the water” then I read ...ah mate that sucks I hope it gets sorted soon I really do feel for you...the joys of life eh? You think your on top of things then sh!t happens  Thanks for the tip though will move Trev to a slightly more secluded spot if privacy is what he’s after  |

My ' Before's ' also nicked from Right Move . . . . the Estate Agent had the nerve to call the garden landscaped.  My ' After's ' . . . . moved in a year ago, having ripped the house and garden apart -to put it back to how I really wanted it and to realise it's potential. Still got the builder's in after a disastrous ( and expensive bodge job(s) done by the original builder - almost there now though, mainly just the front to get finished off. But there's a shortage of bricks as all the building companies around here bought up stocks before lockdown.
I've put some clematis netting up on the fence, the hope being in a few years that will be covered . . . and I went for astro turf as it wasn't a huge area that needed grass, plus thinking of doggy widdle! And I quite fancy a large 5' x 4' ish mirror/brushed steel on the brick wall t'other side of my house - just to give that illusion of space.
 Ha ha abit like everywhere’s a “sought after area” when you know damn well it’s the roughest estate in the city ha ha ha ! what a transformation though I love it ! |
