Hi bazzerOne solution would be to make them as two seperate mixes then combine in small quantities until you have a ratio you like and in turn translate that to a standalone recipe. One tip i use if i want to combine two standalones is to use two clearomisers filled with each of the liquids and see how they go testing them at the same time (reducing/increasing the voltage/wattage on one or other gives an idea of which works as the dominant flavour then use that as a benchmark To summarise: 1)make one batch of liquorice and one batch of blackcurrant 2)fill two cartomisers with each of the liquids 3)vape test both at the same time at say both 7 watts to get an idea of 50/50(dont test in public you will look silly with two ecigs in your mouth together 4)vary the voltage/wattage on them until you find a flavour that hits the spot 5)Next step is to combine the liquids in small batches until you get a liquid that hits the target from previous step 6)you should now have an idea of the ratios for the final mix warning : I would nt do this with more than say three clearos at once as you ll look fecking silly with eight clearos in your mouth Worth doing as you get some pleasant results from unlikely combinations

Im with freefromsmoking ,id take her to the vet. If one of my dogs starts grooming the other i usually find a scratch or some other reason for the sibling grooming(they also do it if ones not feeling too well). Names:im a big fan of samphire but never really thought of it as a name ; but it works so thats my vote

Hello again fizzy(bit more time now:) ) For what its worth if i was to start day one again id go for a variable voltage device as Chrissie suggested. You do have quite a heavy cigarette habit and being able to jack the volts up a bit on days its not quite working for you is a major plus point Charons already recommended the nic % at 2.4(24mg) and its where i started also as a heavy roll up smoker but after a few weeks i found it too much and dropped to 1.8(18mg) and ive settled there. If its the throat hit your after then something more like 70pg/30vg will suit you better rather than the 50/50 you posted. Also whilst im chucking out links like there going out of fashion heres one that a member here kindly donated his time to that clears up your mini pro tanks and all the other stuff allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/28309/pics-vids-get-started-abbreviations?page=1&scrollTo=513677Closest shop i can find to you is .....AguaVape Hartlepool Unit 1, Market Hall Middleton Grange Shopping Centre Hartlepool Cleveland TS24 7RX and heres a link to a very useful map Chrissie kindly keeps updated maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid=215709227017751563123.0004e116abe884acfc184&msa=0&ll=56.0475Anyways welcome once more and hopefully i have nt double posted too much from the advice you ve already received

Hi Everyone,
I've been having a good read of the site for the last couple of days and finally joined up.
I wonder if you could give me a bit of help please? I'm a 40 a day L&B smoker. Over the last couple of weeks, I've cut this down to about 20/25 and have also been using a SkyCig. It sort of does the job, but I'm still wanting the real fags.
To get me started on the vaping, I've had a look through lots of the posts and although I think I know what I'm doing - I'm not really sure!!
I'm thinking I need to order:
A mini protank 2 (because I think I need a really good battery to get the same hit as I'm used to..... ????) That I need 32mg strength nicotine.??? I need a 50/50 mix of VP and the other thing that hits your throat.???
I wonder if you could help me and let me know if I am on the right lines here please? If not, I would appreciate any help you could offer me. Ideally, it might be good if I could go into a shop who could show me all of the different stuff, but I've been googling and can't find anything near me. I'm based in Gateshead.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks for reading,
Hi Fizzy and welcome Really not being rude but i have to get back to work(like right now or im in deep **** ) but hold off until you get a reply as your slightly off target just now(you ll get a reply very quickly ) Best wishes

Now there, see & just you wait until you next try it, when it's steeped! Well that must be a good seven hours now do you think thats enough ??? It really is one that you can see the promise but know patience is key; Ill wait till the morning at least

Ha ha brilliant! Which recipe did you use? It was kind of a little from here and there as it was just a quick test run but i think ill home in on perpetuas as my starting point as she comments on hers not being too sweet. Im keen to work on my own so fingers crossed

Ok i admit it, i thought you were all barking mad, the very idea of vaping custard was just tooooo weird. So to prove my point today i got the supplies together to prove once and for all that this custard business was just a nonsense made up a mix and left it to steep for.... ohh id say three hours before trying it.(dont say anything i know ) Verdict? Setting aside its no where near ready of course and the test was obviously just to get an idea.....its potentially bloody excellent. I was a little uncertain that i had nt gone mad also, but it seems all is ok as my daughter came downstairs just after my little preliminary test session and asked if id just made some custard (ego boost chest out etc, you know the drill) So my apologies to one and all...your not mad Or should i say ..your not mad as far as the custard goes i think

Hi KarmaI ve been experimenting with TA for a few months now and just beginning to reap the benefits. I have nt tried the one you linked but TA definately adds a depth to the eliquid which really hits the spot. Im quite fortunate in thatquite a few people at work etc are vaping and i ve tested the liquids with them and the feedback has been consistent that there is more depth with the TA loaded liquids. Bit of a pain to use as its very thick and needs diluted before use(I diluted in pg; 1 part TA to 9 parts PG and even then you only use 1% in a mix) and its been interesting smelling it from being pretty null and void to smelling quite rank and now it has quite a pleasant smell) 5 ml of the concentrate will last for ages so id imagine your linked one will be similiar. Ill be putting an order into Lt in the next couple of weeks so ill try that one out but in all honesty its weeks before you know if its any good or not as the steeping times are crazy to get the best out of it.(but worth it) As an aside there is a TA made in the states by a tiny company that im keen to try but at £15.00 for 3 ml including postage im reluctant. Hope this helps

Good for you, rich64! I give them 0*'s, as I'm still awaiting my first ever order from them, apparently dispatched 7th Sept & no batteries in the order. I won't be bothering again. Hi Jess There was some problems around the 7th with orders being refused and returned to fasttech (I had one returned that was posted on the 3rd of september which fasttech sent an email stating was reposted on the 17th of september) Maybe yours got caught up in the same batch? I see your point though this is my tenth plus order from fasttech and it probably averages out at three and a half weeks per order but if your first experience was my first experience i doubt id be using them again either. I dont doubt your one will come .... but when

I ordered the MVP from fasttech on the 10th of October and it arrived on the 16th of October ,to say im impressed at the delivery speed is an understatement So credit where its due , well done fasttech That is unprecedented. Makes me wonder how it takes so much longer for everything else. I was away at the time and my wife just sets my packages aside for me. I walked in and saw the package and wondered what it was(never crossed my mind it would be the MVP)
