Oh Blue, I only liked about 2. I ordered a few when I first started vaping and they tasted nothing like the name stated,( tasted like chemicals) put me off trying more, that's when I had to make decision in giving up vaping or mixing myself as the liquid was literally making me feel sick. I decided on learning to mix myself and not give up vaping  What is your mixed result - what tastes do you do for yourself? Well, So far I'm still learning. I started off making very basic liquids, I mixed strawberry, roasted coffee, Irish cream, Punch, Black cherry. Now I'm taking it to the next level, I'm going to start mixing more flavours together. I have had good results so far. Well, I'm not selling, so I don't need to impress anyone lol I play around with it a little until I can figure out what works with what. When I mix I don't add nic, which I feel makes it easier to play around with as you only have the PG,VG and flavouring to deal with. Oh, I mixed 7 leaves with flu cure and that came out quite nice, even hubby liked it after I left it to steep. I'm enjoying it that's the best part of mixing for me. The best one I loved was Roasted coffee mixed with Irish cream, reminds me of smoking roll ups, with a deep flavoured base of coffee and a lingering of Irish cream in the back ground. Delicious! haha you might see me on here one day selling Dreams delight e juice  *Dream is Dreaming*  |

Dream, what unflavoured e-juice did you buy? My original plan was to buy the nic juice in pg as on Health Cabin anyway pg unflavoured is the same price as vg unflavoured, then buy vg to dilute it as pure vg is much cheaper and you can just pick it up from the shelf Karma, That has crossed my mind, So, if I buy the nic juice in Pg, then I assume I will only need to add Vg to my mixture, is that what you have explained? The nic juice I have at the moment is still the one which I purchased with the mixing starter kit I bought but, since I'm running low and will need to purchase more I noticed while checking online that the nic comes in Pg and VG, that's when it did cross my mind and I wondered if once you have the nic juice in Pg you won't need to add any Pg in the mixture. But, I do vape 0% nic most of the time which means I will need Pg for that kind of mix I guess? (that's what I've been doing so far) unless I want all VG then dilute the VG down with dis-tilled water. Phew did I get it right lol Now the Nic with Pg I'm planning in using for hubby's mix (if I can find anything he likes) But, saying that I think I'm missing the nic in my juice as I am missing the throat hit (I'm sure the nic helps to get a throat hit) |

Yes, VG is a lot smoother and does not carry flavour as well as PG (better) or PEG400 (best but not commonly used). Does give you lots of vapour though. From a health point of view, 100% VG is best. I'm glad you said that, cos after trying to purchase PG and VG over the counter and learning exactly what they are used for I came to the conclusion from health point of view that VG is best. |

As much as I love vaping, one thing I have missed is a decent throat hit. I know all the theory about nic strength, PG/VG ratio, LR vs SR etc but stiil never quite got what I was looking for. On a thread I started about all-day vapes Womble mentioned Vermillion River Kentucky Vanilla Blend juice. It was out of stock at the time, but I made a mental note. Then recently booblay was raving about the VR range, and mentioned Cherrywood. So, I took another peep and both in stock. A quick BuyItNow finger movement and job done. Well, this stuff is fantastic. It really hits the spot and I can see me going back for a load more. Thanks guys Sounds great! where did you buy it from? can you send the link? |

Dream when you go to the pharmacy tomorrow plonk a few 'personal' items on the counter and look him straight in the eye, daring him to ask lol Good Idea, but honestly I'm useless in knowing what PG is used for, I'm being honest, I'm not going to lie and keep it a secret on the forum as I'm sure I am not the only one (I hope) that is learning but, what crosses my mind is any question I or anyone else asks will help not only the person asking, but also the others only reading behind the curtains If you don't ask you won't learn! I remember when I joined the gym 10 yrs ago I asked so many questions I drove the instructors mad, but now I could qualify to be one where I have so much knowledge regarding the gym and exercises (No I haven't got a body to die for if your thinking that) lol use too, but no more! So, that's me really love to learn the In's and outs of things, till I'm happy I know what I'm doing |

He was worried I was going to drink it lol But, did I confuse him? When I went there yesterday and asked to order the PG (Pharmacist is a young guy) he wondered what it was?, so while he was looking in the books to see what it is and if he can order it in he asked me if I ordered it from there before and what I was going to use it for? Well, call me stupid, but I didn't know what to say, I only remember one of the PG or VG being for sore throats so I replied and said "It's not for me it's for my daughter I think she is going to use it for her sore throat" (Well, I couldn't say I'm making body cream at home so need the PG to put in there) lol I was lost! Well, he remembered what I said and today he kept telling me "Please this is not for oral use, confirm it with your daughter before you purchase it" grrrrrrrr but, it's not for my daughter it's for me and my e cig!!!!! lol
Anyway, it stated on the bottle EP and not BP and in one of the threads which I read from here stated it must be BP, USB or EU, so I left it and came home to find out if EP is ok? apparently it is ( I think), so tomorrow I'm going back to buy it, but what shall I tell him I'm using it for if he asks?

I was dead set on a Riva kit, when I was told that the ego-T (or any ego) would be far better due to battery life, battery quality, build quality etc. I'm glad I didn't go with the Riva now, but it confirmed some research I had done that a few people have problems with Riva battery reliability. Plus, anything that twists has got to be better I bought the Riva for hubby, really love it! But, then Onedayillquit said ego is the original, so today I ordered an ego for myself Hope I love it just like the Riva! |
