I'm not a coffee drinker at all, but thought I'd try a coffee flavour & got the KoKo cappuccino flavour from easy-liquids. I know alot of their others flavours are blah & people don't rate them (me included) but that cappuccino is brill, no bitterness, just like an old fashioned instant coffee made with milk & the weirdest thing, like many others I started off trying to find a good tobacco flavour & failed miserably. This cappuccino is the closest thing I've come to a real ciggie taste, go figure  |

Hi Raffles, excellent point. I'm lucky I guess cos when the OH decided this was something he could get into I had to order extras of everything & luckly the site I ordered from had the chargers on the same page as the batteries, & at a reduced price  so made sense, 2 people 2 chargers. Plus I have an older HTC phone which comes with a usb to socket converter plug so I can use 1 charger on the PC & 1 in the main socket. Don't want to encourage peeps to spend even more money but another thing to consider might be an in car charger/usb converter. We had to go down to Milton Keynes the other week which is a 400 mile round trip for us, & meant using the M6 past Birmingham so I know we'ed get stuck somewhere. Even though I took spare batteries the paranoia was in overdrive, 1st major day out so a car charger made sense, plus need to find a use for those ciggie lighter sockets which aren't being used any more.  |

OMG psychic member yep their all Bengallies, one little brown spot, a snow spot & 2 smokies, & all loonies If someone uses a username of Madcats there can only be one breed, I have a brown spotted and a snow spotted, both males, both totally insane Never thought it would be such a give away  . My snow spot & the 2 smokies are all males & they're angels compared to the little brown spot female, so you can guess how bad she is |

hi 4madcats welcome to the forum , once you have mixed your first batch you will realise how easy it is and you wont look back , its been a couple of months since i bought ready mixed e liquid and to be honest i think i prefer my own flavours Thanks Guys, me & the OH have pretty much settled on a main vape after flirting with some really mundane tobacco flavours  & the main vape is RY4 based with abit of KoKo cappuccino mixed in. So with both of us using this I figure its got to be cheaper mixing me own, plus like a lot of others I'm now starting to get a collection of flavours that I'm not overly impressed with, generally cos the base flavour doesn't seem to be particularly strong, so it would nice to be able to tweak them up if needed. Been lucky not to come across anything rank yet  but I guess theres still time. I will still be buying the pre mades but probably so I can get a feel for the flavour. |

Thanks Brian, still having a few moments when everything goes blah but I guess thats to be expected so early in & I'll start a new thread on that, but I did buy the ce2s based on what other members had said about them so fingers crossed, will defo look @ the meet would be nice to see some of the more exotic kit out there. |

Another success story  well done. Remember though, we are all here should you have any questions, no matter how silly you might think they are. We also need you to keep us informed on what new stuff you are thinking of buying. We are all a bunch of nosy gits. Yep reckon I'll be good at the silly questions, 'specially when I finally get everything I need for the mixing. Keep going back to the mixing threads but nothings sinking in yet . As for purchases ended up investing in a couple of the mini vivas today, damn these vendors with low prices & free P&P, I was only looking at a new drip tip to add to the growing collection & got sucked in looking at the clearos, I'm starting to think on a budget rebuildables will be the way to go. Also got some of the CE2s to try, I'm still fliting between clearos & carts & like the boges for the more fruity flavours so thought the ce2 might be a good comprimise. But I don't likey when the boges die & I've just filled one up  Could be that I'm a little on the tight side & don't like seeing good juice going to waste, I'll just have to find a way to wring them out maybe already got a couple of empty bottles I could use for me dregs/salvage. |

. . since it looks like I might be moving into the mysterious & complex world of mixology ??? and having read through the treads have realised I'm probably gonna need help, alot of help. But anyhow have been vaping pretty much full time now since the end of August after I bought one of the 10Motives cig e likes from Sainsburys on a whim, initially for the OH when I was stocking up on the baccy. Got it home charged it up & thought not bad, not brill, but not bad. Typical OH wouldn't entertain it cos he didn't trust it & didn't know what he was "smoking" so I stuck with it but soon hit all the problems with the cig e likes, poor battery etc ect, plus I didn't realise you could actually refill the cartos Put up with it for a couple of days & realised it was actually working, wasn't vaping full time but it reduced the rollies by about 50%, even managed to get OH to give it another couple of tentative trys when he saw I was smoking less. Cos you only get one battery with the kit, finally got fed up when it ran out for the umpteenth time & decided to jump in all the way so started browsing. I'd looked at this site before but to coin another members brilliant phrase had got "anaylise paralyise" & left pretty sharpish. This time persevered & realising wasn't going to get anything that looked anything like a rollie went the whole hog & got an ego kit, 2 1100mah batteries couple of clearos, added some boge cartos cos I couldn't decide & some juice & the rest is history. I think cos of the beguiling honey coloured juice sloshing around in the clearo curiosity got the better of OH & I ended up sharing my kit till my second batch of vape mail arrived with extra suppllies . So I think the 3rd of September was the first day when neither of us woke up to a stinkie & for the OH this was major, specially since he tended to chain smoke in the morning, but that was it. Might have had a couple of stinkies since then but they were purely research value only, just to check wasn't missing anything fantastic, in fact I can honestly say the last one about 2-3wks ago that OH rolled tasted more like a dirty ashtray then anything I remember a cig tasting like The collection of accessories is growing & at this rate the juice is going to need it's own shelf in the fridge, & we'er still finding our feet, but I think it's safe to say we have now given up smoking, so thank you all very much for a wonderful forum  |
