Haha! No doubt I will just order it any way, and take the consequences later, like doing the hoovering for a month  So I have got this kit www.ltecigs.larsentilbrook.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=155 with 36mg of nic @ 9.60 for 100ml (thought it would save on postage but I know you can get 54mg) and the mint flavouring. Got to get VG and PG so all in all about £24 for if my calculations are correct will make 200ml of juice. £1.2 per 10ml! Edit: that's at 18mg/ml |

Awesome guys thanks, my order that Tino D'Milano one, anything else I will need? Few small mixing bottles and pippets? A bottle of VG from boots, a bottle of PG from the link in the other thread and some Ethyl Maltol?? and I'm good to go. Oh and some 54mg nic.
Surely the other half will agree to that!

Does the HS Spearmint have a sweet note to it ? It tastes just like wrigleys spearmint chewing gum. So yeh I suppose it does have a small amount of sweeteners in it. |

@ashmal hangsen spearmint, the cheapest I've found is 8.49 for 30mls. I could do with it being a little stronger which made me think of self mixing. Checking out of this thread ... I have a mint allergy Should be easy mate ... mint and menthols ... just chuck it in Haha! I don't like the cold menthol though. But yeh it will be cheaper like that, just buy 2 or 3 flavourings from the local supermarket  |

Ok these are the ones in my cupboard I don't like
French toast
Milk chocolate caramel
RY4
Virginia
Cherry
Lemon Meringue Pie
Pineapple, Coconut Rum
I've got lemon menthol which isn't as bad as those above, and spearmint which is my favourite so far.

Wow! That is a huge saving (providing I like the concentrates I pick up). That's my problem at the moments have 7 different flavours in my cupboard and only really like one.
My better half doesn't like me buying things and not using them, at the moment I'm thinking the stinkies will save on wastage.

Hi guys, sorry if its been covered before, I've had a read round but can't find anything.
What is the cost/savings say on 30ml bottles of premixed compared to DIY and also is it worth while rather than just buying pre-made. Seems there's a lot to think about and quite time consuming.
My better half is saying I'm getting too into this, but if I can convince her it will save me tons more cash she may let me do it (although I'm not quite break even yet).
Thanks for the help.
P.S I'm really struggling trying to find a flavour I like, so I'm thinking DIY may even help keep the costs down when I'm trying lots of different flavours.

Yeh I was going to buy a few cartos as I quite likes the vape experience of my e-lite. But I will now stay with clearos and attys.

Could we try and get on question time? Im not sure its a viable option or whether it would work. But it is an option.

Yep I had similar from UKIP. But maybe a bit more negative. I posted here the other day.

AnnaLaw agree, for us that are currently vaping its fine. There will be no restrictions on flavouring as it won't contain nicotine, and if it does goes to 4mg/ml we could source our nicotine overseas (is Guernsey part of the EU?) Not ideal but options. But the up and coming ones won't know how to acquire this stuff and will be forced to carry on smoking.

How hot to the coils get? 120-130 degrees C? And common solder melts at 160 roughly. It may not melt I suppose. But heating up and water getting on to it, surely it will corrode? Maybe I'm just over thinking things again lol.
