Best get a tab open . . . . cart loaded now then.  To be fair the only thing I'm interested in on there would be the Smok Alien 220w kit. Still holding out for one under £30. Thought I'd bagged one from Vape Club when they had them on sale, but they refunded me.  |

Its ridiculous but at the end of the day we are not going to see these deals again in our lifetime We're not TJ . . . . which absolutely justifies the Shopping Frenzy we've indulged in! I've felt a mite guilty spending all this money on myself in such a big dollop on occasions, but working on the spend to save principle - long term we'll see the benefits.  You're probably both right, but I'm hoping that in a few years time once we've left the EU. The UK vendors will be selling off cheap all their TPD compliant stuff.  Highly unlikely I know, but I'm forever the optimist. |

Ifancyone have just emailed me to say they have added more hardware and Ejuice to their sale.
£4.99 for 60ml apparently

Yes it does, but I want to see if the strawberry flavour holds out longer in a refrigerator. Probably won't but worth a go. Another juice that imo doesn't benefit from a long steep is Rhodonite. After two weeks it's past it's best for me. So might try with that the next time I mix some up too. Right that makes sense; so strictly speaking what you are doing in these cases is limiting or stopping steeping? To an extent yes. I'll steep them for a week in the cupboard first and then transfer them to the fridge. Maybe just a 3 day steep for the Rhodonite. |

Cheers for all the replies and participating in the poll everyone. It seems most peoples storage habits are pretty much the same as my own. The next time I knock up a strawberry mix I am going to make two bottles and steep one in the cupboard and one in the fridge and see if it makes a difference.Although with all the juice I've bought lately that might be a while. Does not steeping benefit from molecular activity though? i.e. why steeping usually involves regular shaking. Cooling a mix down will slow down interaction and hinder steeping I would have thought. Think I read that commercial steeping of e-juices can actually involve applying a gentle heat. Anyway look forward to the results of your experiment but my money is firmly on the cupboard stuff.

It's a well known condition called shinyitus. There is no known cure yes there is, don't be taken in in the first place - That's prevention not a cure Now is a very very good time to have the condition.  It is if you can get some nic base ordered in the next 2 days and slapped in your freezer You'll still be able to source reasonably priced eliquids just as long as you're not vaping over 20ml, but yeah for maximum savings better off mixing your own, hence 5 litres of 72mg in the freezer.
Just a couple of pertinent points.......  Just a few pertinent replies |

And a pack of papers, thats all it took. I could smoke all day. Yes arguably it was slowly killing me, but at least it was doing it with little effort and fairly modest cost. My desk now looks like a demented alchemist's workshop. I honestly have no idea what half the stuff does, I see a link and people getting exited and assume I need one. I know I have stumbled onto a golden age of vaping bargains, but I really dare not tot up how much this madness has cost me. On the plus side three months plus of not smoking may just be worth it. It's a well known condition called shinyitus. There is no known cure although empty pockets do seem to abate the symptoms for short periods. It is highly contagious, but fortunately not deadly. In all seriousness when I first started vaping I thought I needed at least one of everything and it cost me a small fortune, but I have only bought vaping essentials over the last few years and saved an absolute packet compared to smoking. These last few weeks I am making up for lost time, but the days of vaping gear becoming obsolete within a few months are over in Europe. The 6 month notification period for new products means items should hold their value more so there will be fewer bargains about. Now is a very very good time to have the condition. |

Just had a tally up of all my orders and so far I've ordered
4 Mods
4 Mod Kits
11 tanks
11 packs of coils
and just over 3 litres of juice.
I haven't added up the overall cost as I don't want to have a heart attack.

I have 60ml of it on the way & one of each of those Counter Culture Juices....and you say I'm the bad influence? Mark the only regret you will have is you did not order more of the twelve monkeys the counter culture is a 50/50 I have never found a better custard pierce was my fav out of there 3 flavours.... they were at the very 1st vape jam but like fools went with one of the big big American wholesalers who never pushed there brand in the UK so the few place that did have it were charging £18... so £1.50 is a complete bargain. I've ordered Twelve Monkeys O-Rangz 60ml Twelve Monkeys MacaRaz 30ml Twelve Monkeys: Bonogurt 60ml Twelve Monkeys: Congo Cream 30ml From various sites. Just had a tally up of all my juice orders and I've ordered just over 3 litres of premade juices  |

Some "premium" brands still available here from £1.50 for 15ml £2.50 for 30ml www.smkd.com/collections/e-liquidTo navigate the brands use the 'filter by' drop down menu. Marks I think they should ban you till after the TPD sale have finished, your costing me too much 12 bottles of twelve monkeys bonogurt 3 bottles of twelve monkeys macaraz 7 bottles of counter culture pierce and 7 bottles of counter culture inked!! counter was possible one of the best juices I have ever had... thats is another £62.49 gone  hehe I should ban myself. At least you have an idea what you're buying. I've not a clue what any of this stuff is going to be like and I'm £70 poorer this evening. icon_shoppingm |
