Postal Charges and bottles are a vendor’s nightmare….
I have looked into flat (hip flask type) plastic bottles that are available, but they not available with the compliant and required childproof caps for the UK.
I have looked at alternative packaging, bottles etc. etc. I have 10ml bottles that will fit in my jiffy bags, and fit through the RM slot. I can get up to 6 bottles (60ml of liquid) in a jiffy and still post for £1.60. but 30ml bottles don’t fit.
That is why sometimes when someone orders say 50ml of a liquid, they get it in 5x10ml bottles. The bottles cost more, the labels cost more, the time and effort filling costs more, but the saving on postage compensates for it.
It is a nightmare, and impossible to put in place a calculating system on most shops that gets it correct every time…. I have tried to simplify it… If someone orders from me, they get the following options for P&P
First Class UK Postage Royal Mail- 1 to 6 items £1.60
First Class UK Postage Royal Mail - 7 items or more £2.70
First Class UK Postage Royal Mail (Recorded Delivery) - 1 to 6 items £3.70
First Class UK Postage Royal Mail (Recorded Delivery) - 7 items or more £5.30
It is advertised on the P&P page for anyone to check before they order... But, If any one finds a better way, I am all ears!

The “Green Hey Taste” is the real taste of the tobacco, even after maturing for up to 4 years, it will still have this predominant taste. Tobacco companies add about 4000 other things, chemicals, toxins, poisons and such like to make a cigarette taste like it does.
If you were to smoke the tobacco leaf in its pure “un-treated and un-processed” form (no chemicals etc added) it would most likely still have that Green Hey taste and aroma. We have been programmed over years of smoking into thinking that the flavour and aroma we experience from smoking a cigarette is the taste of tobacco, in truth, that is only a %age of what we tasted, the rest was the cocktail of chemicals.
Tobacco extracts by themselves need (as chrisde says) mellowing or rounding out, stevia, Ethyl Maltol, can do this if you just want tobacco flavour, but they really shine when you add some subtle flavourings as well, and they do take time to mature.

Talking about F'Arts..... (esp. tobacco types: latakia, dark vapure, ...) and I rarely use more than 2%. I have to agree with Chrisde about F'Arts tobaccos, some are very strong, Dark Vapure and Perique Black are very potent and only need be used at 2% each (I use them combined and find they complement each other and give a good base tobacco flavour to build on). Use too much and it ruins the flavour... definitely a case of "Less is more" for these two. |

Graham Cracker is a good digestive biscuit flavour base, ideal with fruits, for fruity tarts, crumbles, etc… Pie Crust is what it says, sort of a well-cooked pastry / pie (if you use too much it will taste burnt pastry).
Both have their place, and combining the two carefully can give a very nice “cooked” tasting base for deserts, cakes, pies, tarts, etc…
I also add a little MTS Vape Wizard for depth / richness sometimes, but don’t use too much, you just need a little to mix with the pastry background flavour, it can easily overpower a mix.
Some flavours will require more pastry base than others, depending on the flavour being added...

Hmmm, don’t hold your breath, but I have just been informed by UPS update email that my Capella order has a Scheduled Delivery for “Friday, 12/28/2012, By End of Day”. I will believe it when I see it, as I said, don’t hold your breath…. I have had notices like this suddenly change before. > Lets hope this is not one of those times!  |

:)Well, I didn't think so many would be reading the forums and wanting to order on Christmas Day, but what do I know.... I have been VERY shocked at the number of orders today...  I will be mixing all tomorrow by the look of it! But they will all get processed and posted as soon as the PO opens again. Thank you everyone. |

I had asmall order of 15 x 4oz bottles of different flavours arrive yesterday, but this was not my main order, it was just some I ordered for my own use, prior to the big order I put in.... so shouldn't be too long now for the 10 gallons (50+ flavours) to arrive.

Kept the Whole Leaf Tobacco with a Hint of Vanilla E-Liquid till today to try & it's good Not tried your Egg custard yet though. Pretty spent up at the moment so on the fence about taking you up on your 10% off - now if it was 20% it might twist my arm HeHeHe... HoHoHo.... As Pam says, Nice try Chrissie. Got your order done already Pam! |

I am going to be mixing all night..... you lot can't resist a sale Oh well..... such is life!!! Merry Christmas |
