Thanks everyone for their fantastic and very helpful replies. Sounds like you're pretty well sorted with the basics there Dave . . . I'd stick with pure Stevia though if you're going to use that as your sweetening agent. So just to confirm, I would be better off buying this instead of the Ethyl Malto, or do they serve different purposes?
There's an Ebay seller who also sells it, save ordering from overseas: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251174882414?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649I'd perhaps sort out a couple of basic recipes that you'd like to make, then buy the flavourings to make them, otherwise you could end up with a bunch of random concentrates, that won't actually make a complete whole . . . what were you going to use the French Toast with, if you don't mind me asking? 
To be honest, I havent a clue, just fancied seeing what it tastes like, sounds nice, mmmmmm |

Okay, I have been vaping for almost 2 months now, and the DIY (mad professor) bug is biting me hard, so need to get started. I have compiled a list/load of questions and thought I would put them out there.
My tastes so far have been towards the sweet custard type vapes, and I was intending to mix approx. 50/50 PG/VG (only because that is what the eliquids I have been buying tend to be, and I know no better) and around 18-24 nic level.
So, onto my list and questions.
I have just ordered some Capella French Toast and Vanilla Custard as flavours to get me started, and no doubt I will order some more over the coming days in preparation of my other items being delivered and the madness to begin.
Things I (think i) need to order:-
500ml PG –ebay £5.99
500ml VG – ebay £5.19 (or 200ml from Boots if I get the chance)
Liquid crystal 54 Nic liquid 100ml - £15.95 Postmodernsmoking
Vodka – in the kitchen so free
Gloves/syringes/bottles around the house so also free
Any comments so far?
Now the questions start (sorry!)…
Dulce de Leche, is this needed? (cloud9)
Cooling agent, is this needed? (cloud9)
Vape wizard - £3.39 from Libertyflights, is this needed?
Now onto sweeteners…
I have some sachets of Truvia in the kitchen, It is a sweetener powder based on the Stevia plant. Ingredients are as follows……. Truvia® Calorie-Free Sweetener is made from steviol glycosides (stevia leaf extract) erythritol and natural flavourings. Can his be used as a sweetener, or am I best off buying a dedicated sweetener?
If I am to buy one, which one would people recommend, Stevia (and if so, where is a good place to buy it from?) or Ethyl Malto (£4.48 inc. p&p) from uk-eliquid. I must admit, I like the sound of the flavour of the Ethyl Malto.
Finally (phew!) could someone recommend a good (but not too expensive please) dripping atomizer. I am currently using ego batterys, but have just ordered a Sigelei Zmax from the co-op, so would like it to fit this really (not sure if the 2 have the same fittings yet!).
Anyway, many thanks for taking the time to read my drivel, and I welcome any comments/advice.

There does seem to be getting some juice in there, and I just wipe it with a tissue, but will get hold of some alcohol wipes to give them a good clean. Just off to have a look at the link now to check that out, cheers.

Evening all.
About 3/4 weeks ago I started using my ecigs, an eGo 900mAh (with C4). When I put it on charge, sometimes the red charging light turns green almost straight away, and I have to give the battery a little twist one way or another to make it go red again.
Whats more annoying is that it sometimes goes green after a short while (20-30 mins) when it is obviously not fully charged, and again I have to give it a twist a little way one way or another to get it to continue charging.
Its getting a little annoying now as I never trust it to be fully charged, and have to keep checking it to make sure it is charging. What can I do to prevent this (if anything?)
On a side note, I also purchased a mini to replace the C4 after hearing rave reviews on here, and yes, it looks great, but it seams really 'airy' if you know what I mean, does not seem to pack the same kick or same amount of smoke/taste as the C4?? Any comments?

Bah! Never mind. What is the one I bought for, as may as well offer it on the board for anyone that can use it.

Another question while I am on (and to save opening a new thread).
I bought a Vision Mini Vivi Nova and a Vision Clearomizer 3.5ml Cone/Plinth but the plinth does not seem to fit, have I bought the wrong size? I am using an eGo 900mah battery.

Ahhhh good. Many thanks for putting my mind at rest. I will crack on with using one of them (saving the other one for when my Grants turns up, as want a virgin Clearomizer to try it out.)

Morning.
I bought a couple of CE4 CLEAROMISERs, 2.5 OHM and when I got them the wicks are only a few mm long. The previous CE4's I have had, the wicks are almost the full length of the clearomiser. So is there something wrong with these, or is this normal?? (Sorry if this is a dumb question, but new to this.)

Cheers for all the welcome, and the great advice.
The selection pack of 20 flavours is 18mg I think, but the kit I bought does come with some 24mg juice, so can try them both, then off to buy a lower oHm to search for that hit.

Okay, no more suggestions about type of ecig to go for please, I have gone for the one DiscoDes mentioned. It seems like it has had quite a few recommendations on here in the last month, so ordered now, and after the two nights I have taken to choose, I dont want a better one for cheaper to be suggested, lol!
Now onto the juice. I have ordered a starter kit from mirage cigarettes, and as they only came in one strength, I had no choice, but what strength would people recommend?
Oh, and cheers for loads of help at such an unsociable hour, much appreciated!!

Cheers for the fast reply. Te price did have me concerned incase it was 'dodgy'. So would I be better off moving on and looking for something else?

Evening, finally taking the leap into vaping, and after some advice please. I have done some research, and after looking, think I have chosen the following to start me off.. esmokeuk.co.uk/shop/article_70/EGO-Twist-CE4-Single-1100-Mah.html?sessid=oWsQxe8Huh9mnHO4Nulo7PraTSLyl8RUgJMwQrTaiFF4WtSODDTfGbEJxBo8pt9g&shop_param=cid%3D1%26aid%3D70%26I know I will need more than one battery, but just to start with, it shoud do, as I have to go 2 hour periods at work without smoking, so can just charge it up then if needed. So is this kit okay? Also, I have selected some juice, but dont know what strength to go for. I packed in the cigs for 2 years (30ish a day) then did the usual, started on cigars, so now I am on 10-15 cigars aday. So what nic strength would people recommend? Many thanks for any help recieved. |
