Firstly xtc263, I'm glad you have already taken professional medical advice. I personally would doubt that it is the nicotine; if it were that that has caused this symptom, I would have thought that it would have manifested itself long before now. Shortly after giving up smoking, my blood pressure went through the roof, and I am now on medication for this. Smoking was masking this change in my condition, and as I am now vaping 1mg juice I doubt that has much, if any, effect on my heart rate or BP. Has something else changed? Diet, stress levels, or other changes that happen to ladies (apologies if I'm out of order here!). It seems strange that this increase in heart rate is only showing up now. Do keep us posted as I'm sure there are others who would also be interested in the outcome. I hope all sorts itself out quickly for you  |

Please be aware that if you are storing e-juice in amber glass bottles in the freezer, they are brittle until the contents are completely thawed out. So take care when you are removing them out onto the bench. Good tip, lobeydosser, and something I didn't know although all my nic is safely stored elsewhere! |

jwar - as far as travelling with ejuice, you can pack as much as you want in your hold luggage, as that won't be subject to security. A few more tips, if you will excuse me: Any juice taken through security will need to be in an unlabelled 100ml bottle (not 10ml) - make sure you remove the Poison symbol and tactile triangle - and i would suggest vaping your tank dry so that it doesn't leak due to cabin pressure. A pack of cheap ziplok plastic bags is a great plan - they are about 1p each so are essentially disposable, and all tanks, juice bottles etc. can be sealed individually to minimise the inevitable leakage. Batteries must be carried separately, and in proper battery boxes. Mods must be capable of being fired, just in case. Have a great trip, and enjoy yourself!

Definitely going to try this decoy, I've had mixed results with my TFV8, but I like the look of this build and wicking. Thanks for the link! |

dorisjieyan - sadly, I'm getting the same block on your site. I'm using Windows 10 and a recently updated version of AVG. Seems that there is something on your site which the Antivirus programs don't like

Here's my offering to this thread.
I originally bought some Red Stairs as a substitute for my wife, who liked Red Astair and then converted to Rocket Fuel made by local company Cornish Liquids. I mixed it at 15% and she loved it, so have subsequently mixed up around a litre of this and it's still her ADV.
As an experiment, I also bought some Blackjacks, and I try this from time to time as a palate-cleanser, which it does efficiently. I couldn't vape this juice all the time however.
More recently, I bought some of their Vanilla Ice Cream, and the first sample of this was vaped at 2 days old!, but already tasted full and flavoursome. I have another 100ml to try now it has steeped for a month or so, I will report back once this has been vaped.

kingerax - a warm welcome from me, I'm sure you will learn loads here, and as GunJack said, please don't hesitate to ask questions, it's how we all learned in the first place!

Having read this, and other, threads about Photobucket, I will this morning hopefully reclaim my photos from them, and will then promptly close down my account. This is NOT the way to make friends and influence people these days (or indeed any days!).
Will be checking out some of the options offered above to save my photos in future.

Just testing - Photobucket informs me that I need to update my account to allow 3rd party hosting, so I'm uploading this using Postimage.  |

Great to hear that things are progressing well enough that you have been signed off lobeydosser. This thread is a real insight to many of us who are aware of the black cloud of Stroke and what it potentially can do to a life. You are a shining example of someone who has the determination and patience to get back up and get stuck into life again. Please keep us posted, it is a fascinating insider's story of what is affected and how you are coping with things that many of us take for granted - more power to your elbow! |

You are going to need deep pockets unless you mix your own juice - 5 pipettes of juice went into that cotton, and I bet it won't last long either with all that contact area. Does look tempting though . . .
