Mixing is really easy it's finding recipes that you like that's difficult and the calculator at the top is so simple to use. Own mixed juice still need steeping I'm afraid. I guess that once you get started it will be, but looking at all the information at the moment is overload!! LOL So am i right in thinking that, using the method described by chrisde above, by buying a 100ml bottle of 18mg nic mix and a 10ml bottle of concentrate (say strawberry flavour), you could effectively make approx 12x10ml bottles of 15.3mg nic juice? Well, that would be 10% flavouring, and with some flavourings it might work. The concentrates I listed are better at around 15%, so I would just not use all your 100ml base, just as much as I said in my first post: 1.5ml concentrate in a 10ml juice bottle, fill up with base. Just do one at a time, don't mix the whole lot at once. That way you can modify your recipe if it's too strong or weak.

There are basically two ways of looking at dripping: 1) Using an atomizer (factory made or self built) to sample juices or to be able to switch flavours quickly 2) Using a rebuildable dripper (often dual coil or more) with a very "hot" built to produce huge amounts of vapour.
For 1) all you need is a simple 510 or 306 atomizer (Bauway, Cisco, others are available or a rebuildable like a SMOK Octopus) and basically any battery you like (Ego, Vamo, Provari, ...)
For 2) you will need an RDA (Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer) like an Origen, IGO-W, Nimbus, or thousand others and a mechanical (or very advanced electronic) Device like a Nemesis, Chi-You, MK1, or a host of others and special batteries that can sustain high loads and still be safe.

Hmm, dandelion (Löwenzahn, "lion tooth" in German, or Pusteblume "blowing flower") is something of a war time ingredient here, most will not know it's actually edible when it's young and fresh. The milk from the stems is bitter (and slightly poisonous) - are we talking about the same thing?
Well, whatever it is, I don't want it in my vape =)

15% on Vamp Vape, 10% on Red Astaire for me.
btw... what's the "British Herbs" in Quintessence and Afro Dizziac (there called "secret ingredient", but I think it's the same) - wermouth? It must really be something very british - I can't stand it =)

Oba oba from FA isn't anything like Boba's - it's a floral, exotic taste. It's not in the UK - but there is "Babo's Country" from Liquid-NRW, which is their take of Boba's. It is not the same, of course, but it is the same type of liquid. You might want to try it out, it's not expensive (Around 4 pounds for 20ml) and shipping to UK is relatively reasonable, although maybe not for a single liquid. liquid-nrw.de/Liquids/Erste-Sahne/Babos-Country.html Shipping to UK is EUR 5,50, free from 100 Euros upwards. If you have trouble with the website or translations, let me know, I'll try and help. Other nice liquids to try there: - Radioactiv (aniseed/absinthe and lime, one of my favourites) - Silly Vanilly (aptly named, very intense) - Schokokuchen (chocolate cake) Don't buy their tobacco liquids, though, they aren't as good as the rest, IMO. Unfortunately I can't help with Grumpy's Hooch - I never even heard of it =)

If it's really for eternity it must be simple, easily repairable and mechanic: REO Grand, AW IMR 18650, Mark Bugs Chalice
If it's allowed to be electronic: del sole E7 Modulo, Chalice
The Chalice could be replaced by a number of other similar atties: Reomizer 2, Cyclone, Divo, ERA, Hornet.
If I am allowed to modify things: Milled catch cup on the Grand, bottom fed modified Origen Dripper or Immortalizer.
I like simple - it doesn't get any more hassle free than bottom feeders.

btw - the original Taifun (without GT, GS) had (has? not sure if they still make them) various modes, one of them was a filler tank type, like the Bulli A2 Klassik or the Spheroid. My girl still likes hers very much. With the GT, I don't see a point in the filler setup, the whole thing is dead easy to set up and doesn't leak. But the plastic window needs careful treatment, even on the original.

I would take the Immortalizer off you - but you'd need to ship it to Germany. I will pay additional costs for shipping if you let me know how much =)

I have a 50ml bottle of my own vanilla custard that is almost 2 years old now. I found it months ago in a drawer where it should not have been, but I was amazed how well it steeped. I can't mix it to the original recipe anymore because a key ingredient isn't sold these days - and it supposedly contained diacetyl. (The old Vanilla Tahiti from FA - they changed the recipe in 2012)
Now I take a tank from it every now and then - and it's a really great vape.
It is almost inklike black, it is thick and gloopy (almost pure VG) and it wasn't stored in a fridge.
Now there are other flavourings - DV Absinthe comes to mind - that will lose flavour after a couple of weeks.
So yes, you can oversteep - but it all depends on the recipe and makeup of the liquid. It's like red wine - some age well, some don't.

I am using an old cast iron cooking pot to charge inside. It has a heavy lid and with the cables hanging out it is not air tight. I keep it in an area that doesn't have anything flammable around.

Changing the power source alone doesn't change the flavour (much). Flavour is determined by juice and atomizer. What he probably meant was a mod+rebuildable (Kayfun, Ithaka, Genisis, Squape, whatever) being the next leap.

www.wiwo.de/politik/europa/kein-arzneimittel-e-zigarette-mehrheit-im-eu-parlament-fuer-freien-handel/8857824.htmlNo medicine: E-cigarette: Majority in the EU parliament for free trade"I assume that the industry will get its way in this point, after their brutal lobbying", told MEP Karl-Heinz Florenz this paper. Florenz expects that a majority of the EU parliament will vote for free trade on the 8th of october. (...) So Mr. Florenz is actually rallying his last troops for the last desperate stand - but he already prepares for the defeat. Mr. Florenz is one of the worst ANTZ we have in Germany. This is good news =)
