I was going to dabble with one that was listed in the recipe thread but couldn't find anywhere that had two of the flavourings in stock. Guess it's a knock on of grant being closed, everyone is panic buying DIY

I have a shopping list all ready and waiting my payday at leisureliquids - here's the lowdown (if it pastes OK!) - Capella Vanilla Custard £2.95 PA Dulce De Leche £2.10 Capella French Vanilla £2.95 PG Unflavoured Nicotine Base 52% £8.99 Vivi Replacement Head: Vivi Head 1.8ohms £1.99 10ml Dropper Bottle 3 £1.20 Sweetener by The Perfumers Apprentice £1.99 This should set me up to make my own VC - can't wait, just like a kid counting down the days until Christmas!! Andy ETA: I do of course have the other bits required already, just in case anyone was confused/worried that I was going to try vaping neat nic base!! Which %age are you going to mix them to? I have done a bit of research on GVC and there seems to be quite a few differing opinions. The one on an OZ forum got particularly fruity when someone offered to sell GVC after they obtained the receipe. I've never tried it but after all the positive comments may mix a batch up at some point.

I've just ordered the one Karma has linked from Vape Gear. Should be here tomorrow or Tuesday so will let you know if it's any good.

I'm thinking I'll do some smaller batches of 10, 15 and 20 % and see how they fair. Can always dilute the higher percentages if my taste buds can't cope! Sorry for hijacking your thread GunJack.

To be fair Perpetua I am learning that you maybe right. I have mixed all of mine to 5% so far, but will probably be increasing that in the next mix. You go up to 20%? I was going to go to 7.5% and see if that was enough!!

Hi Gunjack - I have just got into DIY myself. Bought the majority of my juice from Post Modern Smoking as well. They stock Flavourart which requires a lower amount in each mix, guessing it is more concentrated than some other brands, so value for money should be greater. Their prices on Nic base and pg/vg were competitive and delivery was within a day or two. WIll be going back to them. Will be looking at somewhere that sells Capella flavourings shortly as at the moment I am only doing single flavour menthol and fruit mixes.

That shouldn't be a problem. Have you used Novas before? I find sometimes the heads come lose and need retightening to work properly. Have you double checked a different delivery system is working on your box mod so you can rule that out?

Cheers girls. Just lost myself in the mixology sub forum for an hour. Now have to rewatch the episode of Samcro I was meant to be concentrating on!

Those heads are different from the Vision heads, so you may find it a bit hard to find replacements when the time comes.

Hi Sue. I had a quick look there but couldn't find one. I'm not overly surprised as all the prices on that website seem bargain basement already. Can't blame a bloke for trying to find a sneaky 5-10 %er though!

Hi Figgis. I didn't realise ECF was a UK site and been invaded!! Pete Bsaurdo is a good source of reviews, he churns them out like anything.
In other news, Vape Gear have dispatched my order today so will hopefully be using the new mod Monday/Tuesday.

Cheers guys. Ash I was going to buy that to leave at work and possibly one for the car as well, will be keeping an eye out if this order goes smoothly. I'm a natural cynic when ordering on-line, which is tough with this vaping lark! Oh and for the record still waiting for my first reply about vape gear on ECF. This maybe my new home!

Cheers guys. It certainly seems a friendly atmosphere from what I've read through already. Hoping to be able to contribute in the coming months and maybe bring some ECF tricks over the pond to AAEC.

To be fair Chrissie it was a post I saw of yours on ECF stating you we're too busy over here to post there too often, so I thought I'd take a look! I'll keep the Argento in mind for my next vapersary present!
