5 years yesterday since I had a stinky I'm mostly vaping 0% nowadays, just for the flavour, but do sneak in a drop or two of the 72% nic I bought more than 5 years ago when there were portents of doom and gloom I mix my own, of course. Dunno if anyone out there would remember me - used to be around these parts a lot and attended a few meet-ups. I'm the one that lives in Ireland but was caring for her Dad (RIP) in the UK. Hello again

Thanks so much! My calculations gave me a similar answer (which I shall bodge to 20ml per 500ml) but was worried I'd made some kind of error and would end up overdoing it I'm practically off the nicotine now (2 years no smoking on October 5th), but somehow like to know there's a bit in there - probably somewhere just north of 2% by the time I've added the flavours.

Hiya - been ^years^ since I've posted here, but can't think of a better place to ask this question: If I have 500ml of 70/30 PG/VG liquid, and I want to make 3mg strength juice before adding flavouring, how much 72mg nicotine should I add? I can sort of do the calculation, but maths was never my strong point and I don't want to mess this up! Please help if you can

Hi again Crag - the way I discover new juices is by subscribing (and I'm not suggesting you do, just letting you know thew option is available) to a monthly variety box, from a company called Sizzlebox - basically, once a month they send me 5 or 6 different juices (you can ask them not to send certain categories, such as menthol) randomly - costs about £25 for between 50 and 70ml in total, including postage, I think the first box is cheaper. I've been using them for about 9 months now, and haven't had any juices I hate. Mostly they are good to outstanding, and that's how I've discovered some that have become favourites (Triphammer's Raspberry Donut Yogurt, I'm looking at you!). Taste's a funny thing, it's so subjective, so a juice that I think is great, you might hate and vice versa. It can be a nightmare tracking down flavours you enjoy - even going into a shop and trying out what they have doesn't always work, because not every vaping rig will give the same flavour result. Thus, it gets expensive. There's another company (only used them once, 'cos Sizzlebox means I'm a bit overwhelmed with juice, plus I mix my own) called One Pound Liquid which sells (surprisingly enough) liquids for one pound - might be an idea to try some of their flavours out? As far as kit goes, it's taken me a year or so to decide on what works for me - and that's sub-ohming, meaning I have cut right down to 3mg strength juice quite easily. Because of the vapers tongue issue I have to have at least 3 flavours available at all times, but have ended up with 6 Cool Fires of various powers, and 4 Kanger SubVods Those hit my sweet spot. It's perfectly normal to vape non-stop - it's different in that way from smoking, the nicotine takes longer to enter your bloodstream, and so people tend to vape for longer than they would have smoked. You're not doing it wrong. Also, don't think for a moment you're being a 'pain in the backside' - people here like answering questions about vaping! Best of luck with it all!

Hi Crag - as a fellow sufferer from vapers' tongue, I was wondering if you'd considered trying some coffee flavours? I think a nice dark coffee-type juice really cuts through any tongue fuzziness, and is in the same flavour family as tobacco. Also, some juice manufacturers seem to have more flavoursome liquids than others - I find Triphammer and Sailor Sauce particularly good (though not sure the latter go any higher than 6mg, now I think about it). Anyway, good luck on your journey - vaping is so much more interesting than smoking

Just took delivery of a lovely blue Cool Fire 4 +, tank and accessories from tsoko - all just as described and arrived very quickly. A pleasure to do business with - many thanks!

Cheers - erm, the reason I want more power is that the Cloud Beast is - apparently - best at between 120 - 180w (but will go up to 260w!!!!). Obviously, the Cool Fire 100 TC doesn't go that high. I'm not too bothered about charging time, as I do most of my vaping sitting here at the computer, next to a power source. I have 4 Cool Fires and 5 SubVods too, so I alternate between them (I like lots of different flavours on the go), so it's not an issue if I have to wait a while for something to charge. So far, it looks like my best bet is the Smok Alien - if I can live with the separate batteries issue. I'm still digesting the rest of the advice and suggestions above, many thanks for all of them

It all sounds a bit scary, but I'm after something to do the Cloud Beast justice, and hate separate batteries. Maybe I'll have to wait a year or so until 220w becomes the standard

As the title says, really - that's what I'm looking for - I'm really not keen on buying something with batteries I have to take out and charge separately, I just want a mod I can plug in and charge up, but with oomphs (technical term!) of power. Does it exist? I've got a 100w Cool Fire TC, bt need more power - much more power Advice appreciated!

I'm lucky in that my 'local' (which isn't actually that local, but it's where I go regularly) is a steampunk-themed bar, and consequently, steam is quite welcome. The bar staff vape, the clientele vape (and some smoke in the small outside area to the rear), no one blows massive clouds, and no one complains. It's a little vaping haven

As it looks like I shan't be able to make any of the London and SE meets in the near future, due to not wanting to be stranded by Southern Rail, I was wondering if anyone down this way (Brighton) would be interested in a little meet up, on a Sunday late afternoon or evening? I've got a vape-friendly bar venue who would be happy to have us, so I thought I'd put the feelers out and see if anyone would be interested. Venue doesn't do food, but is happy for people to bring or order in their own. There are burger and pizza places, as well as numerous others, within walking distance. Anyone up for it?
