You think a standalone could make a difference Perpetua ? Any recommendations? Unless someone can tell me wrong I don't think the subtank is the tank to use for the PG heavy mixes I need. Nautilus seems the best option at the moment. Miss being a cheapskate and making my own Protank coils but I tried to go back and it wasn't so tasty. |

Perpetua , I've not tried any recipes as such, just the flavours I got with my starter kit. Vanilla custard, peppermint, spearmint, rhubarb, butterscotch. All tasty. Would love to be able to nail this and get creative.

Thanks for the advice though peeps. Will give the vodka a go and keep trying. Subtank will likely appears in the classifieds sooner rather than later. Glad I bought all that extra Kanthal and cotton :/

Nah arron definitely have them the right way round. Sucking up 8ml of glue like VG into the syringe I certainly remember  |

Body! Now that's the phrase I was looking for! Definitely a distinct lack of it in what I've produced so far. Thanks babs will have to give that a try. Pity this is a rum house as I have plenty of that lying around. |

Haha! Well, the huge clouds are pretty cool but I'm willing to live without them (it would be cool though). There's just something not quite right with what I'm making. Like I say, the flavour seems good but the throat hit and general feel of it just aint right. You wouldn't be happy if I sold you a bottle put it that way Would steeping longer have an affect other than to flavour? |

I bought a starter mixing kit from UK Flavours and first tried a 70/30 PG heavy mix with the supplied 1.2 coil but it spat boiling hot juice right back at me. Used a 70/30 VG heavy with the 0.6 supplied coil but there was hardly any vapour. Yesterday I set up the rba and used a 80/20 VG heavy. There was a noticeable difference but still not what I was expecting.
Now, I just stuck the rba back on and the first vape produced a massive plume of smoke but the next few weren't anywhere near as impressive!?! I've tried it from 15w all the way up to 29w (and just ruined a Nautilus coil by forgetting to turn it back down). It's also making my cough a lung, particularly when I lung inhale, which is added proof I really am VG sensitive. Guess the subtank is the wrong toy for me. Probably be a super cheap one going soon if anyone is interested.
Given the lack of vapour produced with my PG heavy mixes using the Nautilus compared to bought juices do you think it could be something to do with the VG itself? I understand UK Flavours are a trusted supplier so I've been assuming I'm going wrong somehow.
Cheers.

So, its been nearly two years since my last post but I guess the good news is I've been off the stinkies for over two years. Yay me. Anyways, recently I decided to finally start mixing my own juice as all the cool kids on here seem to be doing it. I'm not getting the results I would like though. Flavour seems good but the vapour produced, throat hit and general vape are anaemic at best.
I usually vape high PG (70 or 80) as I'm bit sensitive to VG but when I mix my own at that level there is next to no vapour produced. I bought a Kanger Subtank and quickly discovered that high PG and the Subtank don't mix so made up some high VG (70 and 80), a little more vapour but compared to the clouds you see produced it's quite laughable. In fact, I'm getting more vapour from bought high PG than I am from my homemade high VG.
Not sure what I could be doing wrong but everything I've mixed myself is producing the same disappointing results no matter what tank I use it in.
Any thoughts?

Thanks folks.
I do fancy trying to mix my own juice. Will do my homework and give it a bash.

Thanks for the quick replies! My better half suggested it was because I was still hitting it hard even though it's an airy vape. I suspected the worse but that may very well be down to my suspicious nature. Still a little suspicious though It's almost like I can see the level go down every other vape. Best way to prove myself wrong is to try it with a juice I trust I guess. Looking forward to being a more active member on here in the future. |

Hi folks.
I've been lurking for a while, you guys certainly helped me switch to vaping and I thank you all for the quality advice on here. I have an issue though.
I've just switched to a Protank and although it's by far the best vape I've experienced I've noticed I'm going through a hella lot of juice. I'm not vaping more than prevously but I've gone through 10ml of Dekang juice in just a few days. That would have easily got me through a week or two before I switched from a ego V3 rebuildable.
I'm definitely not suffering from leakage so does anyone know if this is possibly down to the tank, the Dekang juice or something more nefarious? I bought the juice from a new local vaping shop and although they are nice guys the supposed 10ml bottle was 8/8.5 ml at best and somebody suggested they may have watered it down.
It tastes good but some advice from the more experienced in here as to whether that could be an issue would certainly sway my repeated customer opinion of them.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
