I'm kind of old fashioned in thinking it wrong to impugn people's integrity without evidence. New to ecigs, most of what I have read from the vaping community have been accusations of public representatives and officials, even the British Medical Association, being in the pockets of big pharma or big tobacco. Meanwhile, big pharma and big tobacco have been getting their opinions across to the people who matter, i.e. the people being accused of corruption by the vaping community. Isn't that what successful lobbyists do? No fear of them using insults and allegations as a means of persuasion. Failures tend to blame everybody but themselves.

I sincerely wish you luck with the campaign but will stockpile supplies just in case.

I suppose that if they ban the sale of nicotine liquid the 4mg won't really be an option except in mass produced pre-filled cartridges. Are they focusing on the cigalikes with throwaway cartridges....the stuff with real money making potential? Any chance that diy mixing could stay under the radar for a while longer? I'm having trouble opening links and viewing videos today because I'm on a slow internet connection.

No, Alan, they won't enjoy Christmas any more than the rest of us because Christmas is about more than the haves and have-nots. It's about counting our blessings and putting aside grievances and resentment. I have no intention of letting the greedy and power hungry spoil my season of goodwill. They can spoil my new year, but I'll worry about that when Christmas is over.

Yes, I used Frogsters recipe as a guide but with a variation in the flavourings and pg/vg proportions. My measurements weren't very precise.....hard enough fiddling with syringes and little bottles without trying to spot tenths of mililitres. It smells sickly sweet, but I don't care if I never get to vape it. This attempt was about familiarising myself with the procedure. I'm mixing for myself only so it doesn't matter if the end result is a percentage or two out in balance between vg, pg and mg.

With that in mind, I have two more questions, if you're still reading and have the patience to answer:

1. Would it be ok to just mix about 20 mg of nic, pg, and vg to whatever strength, separate that into smaller bottles and add the flavours later? I think I would manage better if I could just add drops of flavour to a batch of base liquid. I realise that the flavours will alter the pg/vg balance but is that such a big deal?

2. I have an empty glass bottle and plan to use it for my own mix. The bottle cleaned up fine but the cap still smells of the old juice. How do you clean the bottle caps?

Dizzi: Nearly forgot to say there's absolutely no need to send me anything. I'm swamped in bottles here, wondering what made me order so many. The only thing I seem to be missing is stevia which is on the way from Argentina and I can live without it while I wait. I have enough pre-mix to see me through Christmas especially now that I can mix it myself. You probably feel the need to give me something in return, but your advice is more than enough for me....it's priceless.

Dowden, please take Suede's advice and get out as much as you can. Sure, you'll meet the occasional idiot but the vast majority of people are decent folk just trying to get on with their lives and willing to give a helping hand to others where they see the need. Sometimes they just don't see the need - it's not lack of caring, it's lack of understanding. I didn't really understand until CP hit our family. Give people the benefit of the doubt. Even the unfriendly ones might be having trouble coping with their own major issues.

It worries me too, Andy. Trouble is that it's more likely to be banned rather than regulated. Meanwhile I'm very grateful to people like Giles who go to the trouble of doing some research and sharing with the rest of us on threads like this.

Thank you Perpetua. Thank you Dave. Thank you Dizzi. A zillion thanks to all three of you. Your replies have restored my confidence. I'm going to start with the Froster's Vanilla Caramel and hope for the best.
