Something I hadn't though of though - although you don't need to rinse Milton sterilised kit (unlike most other sterilisers) it may be wise to do so. I shouldn't think it vapes very well  |

Moon, get thee to Boots and buy some Milton sterilising fluid. You don't need anything else (like a sterilising unit). Make up a jug full at the recommended strength, fill bottles, screw cap on, leave for two hours or til you want to fill them, empty out.
Another possible (and cheaper) method would be to fill about a quarter full with water and microwave for a couple of minutes then leave them in the microwave to cool. Don't put the caps on though or they'll go bang.

I still have 1 x 100ml bottle left out of the 2 I bought from PM in, when was it, November? I've just put in an order for another 2 and will probably buy 2 a month for the next few months. They come in blue glass bottles with child proof caps, wrapped in bubble wrap and sealed in a strong plastic wrapper. My intention is to store them as they come, bubble wrap and all, in a small lockable tool box in the bottom of my deep freeze. The idea being that the kids won't be able to open the box, and shaking it won't break the bottles. Does this seem like a good plan to you more knowledgable peeps, or should I do something else?

Thanks Ash. Not got the TPA flavours and have killed my vape budget today (only just got back online after a router failure Christmas Eve, went nutso at many many vendors' sites). Hmmmm... Going to try Graham Cracker and CCW Cherry with a bit of CCW Almond. .5ml of GC, 1ml of Cherry and .5ml Almond per 10 ml you think?
ETA how about sweetener? Have stevia, maybe a drop per ml?

I just wish I knew why people get weeks out of them but I find the coils gunk up and get bad flavour (which is not just on these, I might add) quickly. I have noticed that hubby's coils gunk up and start tasting burnt waaaaayyyyy before mine, even using the same juice, same clearo type and resistance and the same battery type. I think it's down to the way we vape. Hubby does the hookah thing, puff puff puff with the button pressed for as long as possible before the auto cut out. I vape more like I used to smoke, one long draw, let go of button just before finishing the draw, inhale, hold for a second, exhale. He also gets through a hell of a lot more juce than me, three 1.6ml clearos plus a couple of 808 cartos a day. I know he's vaping more often than I do, but not enough to account for the difference. I do believe it's all in the vaping procedure. |

Bunged mine in already - Apple & Blackcurrant Liquorice, Caramel & Vanilla Macchiato and Fruitilicious. Mmmmmm, wonder what the freebie will be? Absolutely brilliant offer, thanks Callum!

FINALLY* got back online today to find this, woohoo! Ordered 10ml each of: Cinnamon Danish Swirl, Ginger Bread, French Vanilla, Sweet Watermelon, Lemon Lime, Pralines & Cream and Apple Pie, along with 30ml of Froggy's own Lemon Meringue Pie. I already have a bottle of VC thanks to the lovely Addict, but will be ordering more I'm sure.
* My Christmas was a series of small disasters. Weevils in the cereals cupboard that had spread upwards to the wall cupboard above, necessitating much chucking away of dry goods and cupboard scrubbing. Small daughter turning freezer off at the wall and me not discovering it til all the Christmas food was ruined. Router broke Christmas Eve and Sky didn't get us a new one til today. Cat got locked in a room by accident and did what cats do - why he picked a white sofa to do it on I don't know, but that took some cleaning (is there a puking smilie?). Hubby's Christmas present needs sending back cos it's a duff one. Boiler broke New Year's Day. All is fixed, or being fixed, our Christmas was eventually great and the house is warm again but still...

TPA Pie Crust is a good one, Graham Cracker if you want a little Cinnamon edge to it, or even F'arts Cookie if you'd like a more biscuity taste. A dash of marzipan/almond might be nice as well . . . you've just turned my black cherry pie into a cherry bakewell ... you are a genius Recipe please!  |

If you like Noro (which I know is a Marmite yarn, you love it or hate it), you'll like Yuzen Karma. It's labelled as DK but like all other Noro yarns I've met it's slightly fatter than advertised - I am one sleeve short of a sideways jacket I'm knitting in it and the pattern calls for aran weight. It's been discontinued and can be had for piffling sums here: www.blacksheepwools.com/noro-yuzen.html Wool, silk and mohair, lovely stuff. Just don't look at it funny or it'll felt! I now return you to your regularly scheduled vape talk |

That's brilliant. I have some rather nice wool (Noro Yuzen for any other yarnoholics out there) that I'm intending to use to crochet a cover for my Vamo. Hadn't thought of using plastic canvas and tapestry wool!

Congratulations Booblay, really pleased the turkey baster and "legs in air" method worked for you!

I'm already doing it Mp. Stocking up on nic (and I'm buying mine in the UK, partly to avoid potential customs problems and partly to support UK businesses for as long as I'm legally able to). Stocking up on ego connectors, ego electronics and 510 connectors so I can build my own PVs. Better grab a couple of spare chargers as well. Buy our favourite ready-made juices in bulk and store along with the nic in a locked box in the freezer. I want to have a large amount by March and then I'll buy a bit more every month after that, either for as long as I'm able to OR until the threat of this legislation is removed. I'm even taking on more work (I'm self-employed) than I otherwise would in oreder to pay for it. I'm afraid I am very pessimistic at the moment, but I see no reason not to be >  |

I'm already assuming I won't be able to buy the liquids I want, in the flavours I want, in the strengths I want and from the vendor I want at some point in the near-ish future. With that in mind I'll be stocking up on 54mg nic base. The rest (PG, VG, flavouring) won't be regulated in the same way and I can cobble together PVs if ego batteries etc are also regulated. So my January buying is going to be 510 connectors, ego connectors & electronics, nic base and large bottles of my favourite juices to store in the freezer. If the zombie apocalypse (better known as over-regulation) doesn't happen after all, I'll still be making use of these stocks. And if it does, well I'll be ok for a few years at least.
What really breaks my heart is the thought of our lovely vendors going under because of e-liquid regulations. I'm also not happy about BAT buying out Intellicig as I think it's the first step on Big Tobacco's road to restrict what is available, how well it works and how it tastes. I can't see BT listening to its customers the way Vape Escape does, for example. And once their e-cig is marketed, with all the advertising budget BAT has available, as a smoking cessation device (which will almost certainly be designed to be not quite good enough to help the average smoker quit), the vaping world as we know it will start to disappear.
