 . Welcome to this great friendly forum. As to your problem  the mind boggles. All I can say is I've never experienced a nasty smell, on the contrary if its fruit flavours its a positively nice smell. Having said that I am certainly no expert but plenty of people on here are. So I'm sure you will have your answer soon. Meanwhile  |

I found this and got a bit wheezy when using 70pg/ 30 vg. Changed to 50/50 and it was sorted. So for me it was pg intolerance

www.vapeescape.co.uk/search.asp?types=Vaping+Spares+%3E+Cartomisers. Vision Nano I actually love these( although I seem to be in the minority.) have never had a leak, easy to fill, great vapour and taste. May be worth a try...need to close of the end on first fill and take 4-5 hard sucks. No gurgling, no airy feel, nice and small to carry spares Oddly enough I got one of those to try out a few days ago. Thought it would be good for testing juices but it flooded after about 1/2 an hour. It's all cleaned out now so I'll give it another try. Maybe I'm not sticking with stuff long enough to learn and adapt to their pros and cons - I've been through so much gear in the last two weeks. Don't fill it up too full ...I have had 12 of these and never had a leak...your not letting it go down the centre post are you? |

Just had a look Jay....site looks great, easy to navigate and well laid out. Like the fact that the juices I have looked at are 50/50. Will be ordering

Thanks padiho I was just looking at the site you said as I saw it recommended on other threads here. Is the riva 1100 better than the vision 1000? I was just looking at the two and can't really understand the differences (I am a complete newbie to this!) I have had the Riva kit for almost 9 months and no problems. I personally think this will be more than adequate for your new adventure. It will last you a good days vaping, is uncomplicated ( which lets face it when new to all of this that's important ) and is reliable. The only thing I added was a mains plug for charging which can also be bought on Vapeescape. |

 Well done on your decision to give it a go, I'm sure you'll love it when you find the right equipment and particularly the right juice. As far as the juice goes, taste is subjective and I can't get on with tobacco tasting ones....I'm sure someone will be able to help on that score though. IMHO the best kit to start with is the Riva 1100. Vapeescape is a good trusted vendor.  |

Actually I was a little out, I worked it out on 52mg base Now corrected above^^^ I won't split hairs, just pleased that I was on the right track . I initially didn't realise that I had to take into account the pg in the nic base. Thank you for your help or my juice would have been very pg heavy!!!!! |

Can someone just confirm that I have got this right please Have filled in ejuice calculator and have this ( I have 54 nic in pg so it says on bottle ) 6.7 mil nic = 22% 17.3 mil Pg/vg no nic = 58% 6.0 mil flavouring is = 20% This is for 30 mil. Now the bit I'm not sure about is....as I have nicotine in pg at 22%, to make approximately 50/50 pg/vg do I only put 18% of pg and 40% of vg Hope this makes sense |

Hi, Something I found out is that if I add a few drops of Silver Spoon Peppermint food flavouring it improves just about any menthol juice. Phil Your right, it seems to smooth it  for the tip |

Update to my first menthol liquid, IT'S NICE. Thanks everyone, making up the menthol mix was easy as you said. Have made an apple menthol and a lemon/lime menthol. Haven't tried the lemon/lime yet but the apple is certainly vapourable (if there is such a word ) I have left it two days to steep.....is that enough? |
