Hi Will, and welcome! #7261_9485#

Ah, good point on storage. Into the fridge they go. (Well, tomorrow after work.) The bottom of the freezer's already full of nic base, VG and PG. Who needs food anyway?!

Did my first load of mixing at the weekend, and it looks like the results are fairly mixed. That's OK though, we all have to start somewhere! Started with small batches, around 2.5ml of each:

Chocolate & coconut - this one's gonna be a goodie!
Banana & caramel toffee - so far so good.
Watermelon - waaaay to strong, it'll need diluting with some more base.
Vanilla custard - still very subtle, will leave it to steep a bit longer.
Apple & blackberry - think it'll be OK, although flavour ratios might need a tweek.
Chocolate cake with icecream - too heavy on the ice cream & nowhere near cakey enough!
Custard tart - not enough custard, too much tart! Might just need more steeping, but can always tweek if needed.

Will give them all a few more days before I start messing with any of them. I mixed up a 50/50 base of PG/VG with 10mg/ml nic (my preference) then added it to the flavours I'd mixed. Using 20% flavour to start with, mostly as it makes the maths easier! It's interesting to see what works and what doesn't - like the watermelon, probably only needed half the amount of flavouring.

Think I'm going to enjoy this mixing lark!

I love how many new member we're getting, both new to vaping and new to AAEC.

Welcome aboard Chas!

Hi Kitty!

Another newbie tip that I didn't know about when I first got my kit (only found this forum afterwards) is that you don't 'draw' on an ecig like you do on the old stinkies - you need to draw slowly to give the juice chance to vapourise.

Ask as many questions as you need to. I've asked a few myself, but the folks on here are really helpful and friendly.

Good luck, and happy vaping!

Beat me to it! Just a sprinkling so far, you'll be reet.

More forecast for during the day tomorrow, and looks like it'll get nasty by the middle of the week. Bleugh. Time to get the snow shovel and wellies out of the garage.

Hi Figgis

Sounds like you're doing really well. Don't worry about the ones you had while you were out - it's as much about habit as addiction, and 'drink in one hand, cig in the other' is a difficult one to break! And it was only 10.

I only smoked about 15 rollies a day, but I've tried a few times in the past to give up and haven't had any luck. Since I got my first ecig I haven't had a single stinkie and I can't believe how easy it's been. It almost feels like cheating!

Try a pick n mix sample of flavours. My favourite flavour keeps changing as I rediscover my taste buds, so these are a really good way of trying out new ones without having to buy the bigger bottles.

Happy vaping!
