Yes, oxo, it is 20mg. Which, for some reason, the press release doesn't mention, but that is what it is you'll find it in the e-cigarettes factsheet - link via this pageThe 10ml max bottle size has been widely quoted, but I haven't found it yet. cheers giles. 20mg should be high enough for most peoples needs thou as you have already stated it could be a inconvenience for those that like it stronger or mix. 18mg was enough for me to kick a more than 30 year habit. After mixing juice to vape at 18mg from 54mg base Im now mix using 24mg flavorless e juice as a base which is no problem as Im on 2mg. This dont sound half as bad as it did this time last year, but no mention in the press release is a reminder that its all happening on the whim of politicians and can all change at the drop of a hat. |

Ive not been on the forum for quite a while, and reading this thread Im wondering if there has been new EU proposals raising the allowable nicotine content to 20mg from the EU proposals Ive seen that state 4mg.
Can anyone bring me up to speed ? Thanks

It took my seven months to reduce to 2.5mg, I tried a ml allowance but could not handle the craving. I just dropped the mg vaped as much as I liked, I vaped more after each drop but it settled down after about a week I would then make sure my body was acclimatized for a few weeks then drop again. You will have an higher nic intake while your dropping through the 24mg to 8mg so you need to drop through there quite quickly, as you get lower you just wont have the battery power to over vape but acclimatizing takes a bit longer. This is very helpful indeed, so I see what you are saying is that if you whizz the mg down quickly, you will initially vape more (so more nicotine) but long term it will even itself out. This is very handy info if I in time decide to go down this route too, and will pass the info onto my dad too. Check out the mixology section, mixing gives you the scope to govern your nic levels at tolerances that vendors or the NHS cant really cater to. The online mixing calculators make it a dodle, I cant imagine the NHS ever liking smokers and xsmokers managing there own habit as it leaves them with no input, profit or control over what used to be the lucrative nicotine replacement therapy. |

Hi guys please bear with me as I know what I mean but as ever will confuse myself so gawd help you..lol Ok so say someone had to reduce their nic levels due to say years of cig abuse and their arteries where very blocked, how does reducing work? I understand the concept of reducing the level might mean you vape more, so if you do vape more are you just not ineffect getting the same nic level, if not more? Would it be better say that they had a ml allowance a day but kept the level of nic the same? It's not for me hopefully! ( having my cholesterol test in 2 weeks) but info for my dad. Thanks in advance if anyone can shed anylight for him. It took my seven months to reduce to 2.5mg, I tried a ml allowance but could not handle the craving. I just dropped the mg vaped as much as I liked, I vaped more after each drop but it settled down after about a week I would then make sure my body was acclimatized for a few weeks then drop again.

I have a few Panasonic for my vamo and half a dozen Ultrafire that I use for torches and may lend them to friends while they try out an ecig. The ultafire are a lot lighter than the panasonic and run out of power in a hour or so, no chance they are the 4900mha they claim to be but for £1.15 a pop they are good enough to have a few knocking about. I would guesstimate the mah to be between 1000 & 2000 on the ones in this link. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180961966166?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 |

Thank you both so much for your help. Oxo I have got some syringes with blunt needles, but with me only trying to mix a small amount I thought in my wisdom that I'd use a dropper. I won't make that mistake again. OneDay, I have done what you suggested. I have put it away for a few days and hopefully it will be good stuff. I'm going to be trying a couple of flavours together next time  and work my up to some of the lovely juices others make on here. I expect I'll be asking for a lot more help too  . Thank you again, very much appreciated. Some get away with using a dropper but they have a good idea how many drops go into 1ml, this can change by 100% dripping from a dropper bottle with a thin plastic needle compared with the thick bulbous tips designed for inserting into the ear or up the nose. Its not a bad idea to drip into an empty syringe to get an better understanding of how much different tips differ in what they drip. Small mixes need care in measuring out the quantitys, so calibrating the drops is not a bad thing if you want to use that method. If your using 72mg base and you want an accurate 6mg in your juice its not going to happen guessing with drops. |

Its a lot easier using dispensing syringes 1ml and 5ml about 60p each at the chemist.
Drops come in different sizes so you are never going to be able to replicate a recipe so good using a dropper.
It looks like you have aimed at 10% flavouring, Id go with 15%, maybe up-towards 18% for a strong flavour, but no way would I use a dropper, the margin for error knocks the %ages way out.

Not all blueberry eliquids taste the same, that I can tell you for sure. If you really like a liquid, then I guess it is worth what you paid for it. Some brands are basically dekang or similar rebranded, but more and more vendors are mixing their own using F'arts, DV, Cappella and the like. Everyday a new eliquid is born, and some will love it and some will hate it. It's a jungle out there  Ive not yet tasted one that didnt taste of blueberry and generally speaking blueberrys dont taste like apple , RY4 is a different kettle of fish, they can taste so different its as well someone just banged the keyboard while thinking what to name it/them |

Share your amusement Quality is nothing more or less than the perception the customer has of a product , irrespective of cost so therefore once again subjective matter.  Bingo Some branding has had quality marketing Pull the label off and blueberry ejuice should still taste of blueberry. Do all brands make blueberry ejuice that taste the same ? If so which ones are the clones and are they really worth the money ? |

Looking for any trades? I'm interested in the evic. Is a evic+head or just the body? Its head and body, no battery. No trades or ono, its reasonably prised for anyone that wants a VV mod. |

I hope your working in a well ventilated area, 72mg is very strong, sniffing the fumes is not really advisable.

Interesting thread. I really don't mind being addicted to nicotine. It's not causing me any health problems, I can afford it, it's not killing my kids or harming people round me. I enjoy vaping. I intend to keep vaping. I don't see this as a competition where vaping lower nic means I'm winning. I'm not smoking, so I'm winning already. Ive been addicted to nicotine for over 35 years. I think Im right in saying the competition is about not getting trapped with incoming legislation, and not about out dropping other vapers. Im now on 3mg and still addicted, I dont feel Im winning, but I do feel Im in control. I could still be vaping 4mls at 24mg per day or the 4mls of 3mg per day,It feels the same once your body gets used to it. Ecigs are versatile and enables any one that wants, set the level of nicotine tolerance they are happy with. I can see myself still addicted in 2016 when e-juice becomes a medicine and 4mg is looked upon as a chronic nicotine habit to be cured by high taxation. |
