good luck to all the new mixers, you are embarking on a journey of enlightenment  you will find great satisfaction in vaping your first good mix, but there will always likely to be one  . i have not bought any pre-made juice since i started mixing, just keep it on the quiet otherwise you'll find yourself very busy mixing for friends and family. |

surfatwork you could try adding some VG, this will make it a milder throat hit and give you more vapour too. you can get it at boots for £1.29. Though this would reduce the nicotine strength, to get an accurate measure try using the mix calculator off the top of my head adding around 5ml of VG to 10 ml of 18mg bring the strength down to around 11mg (sure some one could give you a correct figure)

thanks for the info willy9b, thats why i love this forum, i will eventually be edumacated if i only i could retain at least 10% of the useful info picked up on here, may even be able to win an argument with the wife one day  (only joking i never argue with the wife, she is always right) by the way do you store your base in glass bottles? |

just did some sums fred and customs should leave it alone as they only charge duty on value of goods above £36.00 not your total spend with postage, think I'm right anyway my order is £27.00 for the goods (£27 for a litre of 50mg base!) and the rest is made up of shipping costs |

trigger has been pulled, not ordered since the new postal regs came in but have decided to take the chance. £49.22 for a litre of 50mg base is not to be sniffed at couldn't get more than 250ml here for that price  |

ronaldo, now you just have to decide whether to dilute your VG with 10% Vodka or distilled water otherwise it is a bit thick, always go for the Vodka myself as wifey always has some in stock.

ronaldo i am by no means an expert, but have been mixing my own for best part of a year, I prefer to vape at 60/40 in favour of VG but have always used PG base easier to pop into boots to get my VG than order PG online. whether there is any science behind it or it is just hearsay i have heard that PG base will store for longer than VG, but as i said it is only what i have heard? read on the forums.

Perpetua I know this is a shock to your system but I am about to put a order in for one litre of nic  but what do I go for should it be the 72 or the 100 and should it be pg or vg what freezes best  75mg is the legal limit unless you have a poisons licence so go for the 72 mate |

Raffles had a lovely time, once i got back straight off the ferry into the car and took my grand-daughter to Butlins at Minehead where i was run ragged, "Granddad can we....go swimming, to the park, to see Scooby doo, to see Bob the builder, to the fair, to see Angelina ballerina, can i have a wand, can i have a sword with flashing lights, can i can i can i," she took a momentary pause for breath and then repeat, repeat, repeat. i need a holiday now

thankyou all for your suggestions. Had a great visit to Jersey but ashamed to say that we visited none of the places we intended to, arrived off the ferry to get on the coach driven by a Scouser, at the hotel greeted by the owner, an Aussie, the Glaswegian barman sorted us out with drinks and the Portuguese porter showed us to our rooms! spent the weekend consuming food and drink (well mostly drink to be honest) the brewery tour led by a chap from Chichester was spot on and we consumed plenty of free samples, we got the bus (Portuguese driver) to go to the zoo but got off at Gorey for a quick drink in the Dolphin pub where I met 4 blokes from my village who now live there so we spent the rest of the day there drinking, went to St Aubin, lovely harbour served by a Romanian barmaid, in the pub owned by a YamYam, however we did actually meet a Jersey native whilst we we there!
would definitely recommend going to actually see the sights and will probably go and do it properly with the good lady wife at some point in the future,
