Doesn't make me botty burp ... but then I am a laydee  Reminds me of my son when he was little. Covered his mouth in horror, and stated "Mummy ... I just did a botty burp ... From my MOUTH!" PG however does have a rather unfortunate effect on my bowels  |

xs2man "When importing goods into Denmark, duty is not charged if the total value of the goods (excluding shipping charges and insurance) does not exceed DKK1150. Neither duty nor VAT is payable if the total value of the goods (excluding shipping charges and insurance) does not exceed DKK80. " Think it is confusing that they talk about duty which is not VAT (not sure what it is), and wish the customs office read their own rules, because they charged me for postage .... If the value of the goods is over 80DDK then the handling charge is 160DDK and you get to pay the 25% on that as well because they are B¤#$&@s! I'm not going to do that math, but the MVP would cost me at least £50 if I order it from fasttech without using a middle man

Great idea  You can press the steeping link on the vid to get to the bit with the milk frother faster. Haven't tried it, but seems like a low cost thing to try and I can see how and why it would work  |

dragon I must have been really dumb  not to realise that I was wasting time painstakingly adding the required amounts from 3 separate bottles as all my mixes are 18mg 60/40. Having the one large bottle of 18mg 60/40 premixed now seems so obvious.  The flavouring ups your pg a little (normally) and lowers your nic, but you can calculate that into your base mix. My flavours range from 2% to 10% (used to have some that were higher but I have weeded them out) Most people seem to have a fairly standard amount of flavour they add, which should be easy to calculate into the premix. At the end of the day, the small variation in the amount of nic doesn't bother me at all. I know that over time I am gradually lowering it( by lowering the nic in the 500ml base mix I make up every time, and that is all I need to know. I'm back to precise measurements for one recipe atm, because I want to share the recipe once I finally get it right. It reminds me what a faff it is |

Mixing really can be easy. I enjoyed faffing about with pipettes and measuring cylinders for at least a week Gradually my mixing habits became more and more streamlined, until now it takes me a few minutes to make any number of my favourite recipes |

I know you've said cheap Dusty, but it honestly can be a false economy . . . I'd really recommend you buy at least one of these as they're at a great price: paradisevapeuk.vstore.ca/i-taste-vv-v30-kit-p-586.htmlThe clearo's are brilliant and last for ages, the VV/VW battery isn't too shabby either . . . VV/VW will give you an excellent vape, which in turn will help you stick with vaping this time. It would be £30 very well spent. That is truly a bargain. You get 5 iClear16s which retail normally for £3-6 so say 3 to be fair, which means you are paying £15 for a top notch battery and another £15 for months and months of clearos (they go on for ages, much longer than most other clearos on the market). When you finally need to replacement heads shouldn't cost you more than £2 each and if you take care of them properly they can last months. The battery is also a passthrough, which means when you are at home you can vape while it is charging. The user interface is superb, and vape wise you can't get much better than an iClear on an iTaste imo. |

dragon Could you put my delivery address down at festtech then I will post it to you? I guess it would take ages but not sure if the £ saving outweighs the time to wait for it and not sure how much it would cost from here to you but I can look into it if you like?? That is really sweet of you  . I have relatives in the UK, and Mum is coming across for Xmas, so I have options. I'm just wary of turning something into a hassle, when realistically I can get the same product in Europe for only about £10 more. They are only just released, so I will wait for the offer that is right for me (plus I really don't need another battery ) |

On fasttech? I'd rather get it from a European vendor since I'd have to have it sent to U.K. (customs is a killer here) So if something is wrong with it, it could be ages before I even know Been sussing the fasttech ones though, but if they have that kit, someone else will do them soon Is it not worth taking the risk? There are no duties to pay on goods less than 1150DKK, which is around $200. So you'd only have the VAT to pay on the $45, making it 316DKK total, or £36 straight to you. Still not a bad price in all honesty. Although you could get it from a UK retailer for only £4 more admittedly. Although Fasttech do mark their parcels as having essentially no value at all, so that should avoid all import dutes. Idk where you got your info, but it is sadly wrong Fasttech have to include an accurate invoice with my order to most Scandinavian countries(they know this already, and state it in their terms and conditions), and the limit here is around $14. We get a steep handling charge and pay 25% VAT on everything including the handling charge and postage. If the invoice is missing or suspect they will contact me directly for the invoice before releasing my parcel. Been there done it unfortunately, not with fasttech, but I have researched quite thoroughly and can see no way that any parcel from china won't get checked. Basically the £30 MVP would end up costing me close to twice that |

I didn't like the iClear30 either ... I wanted to ... I tried ... maybe FFS's wobbly bit put me off  Truly adore the iClear16s though I want an MVP2 ... don't need one ... I will wait til they do a kit with the 16s instead You can choose either a 30 or 16s from the drop-down options On fasttech?

I emailed the guy and he said 15% for most of them. Hubby likes Java juice at 15% but I can't say because I think all coffee flavours are  I have Cubanito (or something spelt a little like that) and I like it at 5% but I tend to like things weaker than most. Certainly 15% was way too much. |

Hi and welcome The only tobacco flavours I have tried that I liked were from T-juice, especially their cigar type flavours. t-juice.com/t-juice-shop.htmlI'll tell you now that trying to replicate a particular brand of cigarettes is a loosing battle. I know it make sense to try, but it doesn't really work like that. Tbh I think the only reason they name flavours after branded cigs is to get people to buy them (and then wish they hadn't). Vaping doesn't taste like smoking. Once you are totally off the cigs for a few weeks, you start to be relieved it doesn't The other problem with choosing a juice, is that everyones taste buds pick up on and like different things. One persons bliss is another persons . Most vapers end up on the non tobacco flavours, don't get stuck in a box. Vaping is not smoking. It takes a while to get used to the idea, but once you do the world is your oyster I also recommend the iClear16s btw, they may look like what you have already, but they are a very definite improvement in both reliability and vaping experience. |
