I don't want to say this for any other reason other than to be devil's advocate, but hands up how many of us have ever joined a consumers' association for any other product we buy or use?
And when DO people join a consumers' association? Usually when something goes badly, horribly wrong with a product they own or a service they have been let down by.

There is a certain amount of talk, and some sound insight and knowledge from some, about what is likely to happen should there eventually be regulation of electronic cigarettes and the industry that supports vaping. Some are worried, some don't know whether to be worried or not, some are convinced that Big Pharma and Big Tobacco want to ruin it for everyone. Most of us, if we are honest, don't have a clue.

However, human nature being what it is, I suspect the majority of people are happy to carry on doing what they are doing and won't actually be bothered until they are presented with the possibility of vaping being regulated, becoming more expensive, or in certain circumstances being banned.

It's a sad fact that when there's no real reason to join in and get involved, people can't be bothered.

As an aside, and I speak from a little bit of experience, when there was a thread on here about a radio programme looking for volunteer vapers, and a link to the ECCA forum was provided, I posted that I couldn't see the link without joining the forum. I was rapped on the knuckles by a couple of people who couldn't fathom why anyone wouldn't want to join such a worthy organisation and its forum. What they overlooked was the fact that the more hoops you make people jump through to reach you, the less inclined they are to jump.

I have no doubt that much of what I've just said will be about as welcome as a S*** sandwich, but that's the way it usually is, I'm afraid.

I'm one of the least well-placed to advise you as a relative newbie myself, but if I say something it will break the drought and the replies will come thick and fast...

Yes, you WILL need more than one battery, and I'd just say, before you commit, have a look round for kits that come with two, because they tend to be better value and you then save time and money shopping round for another. Also, you tend to get two of everything in a two-battery kit (except for a charger) and you will need some other stuff in greater numbers, even if you only have the one or two batteries: clearomisers or cartomisers are something you'll certainly need a few of from the start, because you may want to change juices more than once during the day, and you may have the odd one that fails or comes to the end of its life, so it's always wise to have a stock.
Also, check out the vendors' section here for discount codes and deals before you buy (not like me, as I came to that part too late).

Oh, and as we're getting near to Christmas, bear in mind that if you are going to be vaping over the festive season, you'd better order any kit and supplies you may need in enough quantities that you don't find yourself caught out with stuff stuck in the Christmas post!!!

LOL!! I wish it could be that simple, oneday!

Get well soon, Pixie. Your health and wellbeing come first. Hope all turns out to be fine and that you can be back mixing soon...for your sake, not ours!

For a moment there, I got all excited and encouraged. Great, I thought, a splendid chance to try out some Dulce de Leche and some Ethyl maltol.

Both out of stock

I've stuck to what Grizwald suggested in his thread that's a sticky. And also, as I'm using VG only, it's not going to be diluted by anything else in the current mix, so I thought it best to be sure it wasn't going to be toooo viscous, just in case.

Thank you all, BTW, for the suggestions and input..I guess, once I am able to have a taste of my first mix, I'll want to start fiddling with it and will be able to try some of your other suggestions for changes and improvements. If I manage to make something I like from this first go, then I will be pleased and a little bit surprised.

You're right, oneday. I will try to be strong (yeah, right) but, worst case scenario at this stage, and flavouring aside, I don't think I've broken the 2 quid barrier in buying ingredients so, in the great scheme of things, I can still afford a mistake or two. Not that I'm aiming for any, but I'm sure you see what I mean!
