I am currently vaping an arbitrary mix of lemon, hazelnut and chili, and it is very nice indeed. Walnut chili custard is also on the cards. Ooopp chilli, where did ya get it, how much in ya mix etc etc. I grow massive amounts of chillis on my allotment, love to vape it as well, hotter the better :-) |

Did a test order myself, there is so much stuff on there. 11 days from order to my doormat. I could spend a fortune on their website. Fortunately I have no idea what is good or not so this prevents me loading up the old shopping basket to much.

2.1 ohms, seems to take a little while to get going, but for my 1st repairable it seems okay, can't say I'm massively impressed compared to my standard CE4 clearo's.

Bugger, good job it came with a little extra wire and a spare wick.. I'll try for 2 ohms or above later. Cheers Des

What would be the best ohm setting for my Riva 1100's?
I have been playing about with my chobra tank, it came wound at 9ohms? So anyways, I just redone it with what wire was left and it now fires up, no hotspots and is at 1.5ohm is this to low? It spits and pops like a volcano when i add juice to the coil?

Well done Simon! Satisfying isn't it.  To answer your question on alternative ways of making a Menthol concentrate, the crystals won't dissolve in VG. They will with some heat, but then they tend to ' clump ' once the liquid has cooled. You can use Vodka if you crush them up finely, but it's a slower process. Using PG is easier, although if you put your concentrate in a VG heavy mix, then again they can sometimes re-form. I'll just stick to pg based then. And yes chugging away on home-made is great. Make my own wine,beer, grow my own food and now my own juice. Super... |

Simon, The VG that you got in the Kit is already diluted to the correct consistency and ready to be used. Apart from that.... have fun! Was saving the good stuff for later Frogster (The Alchemist), very good starter kit btw :-) |

Might try a home brew one day. Works really well, well it did for me.. 5g Care+ Menthol Crystals @ superdrug £2.15 plus a bit of PG, works out at about £0.70 for 10ml of Menthol Concentrate.  |

Well, I'm vaping my 1st ever home-made juice and for a basic ingredients list, I must say.... IT'S Great!!!! works out cheap as well. 15% Home made menthol is spot on for me.. about the same strength as menthol ciggies I reckon.  |

You may want to dilute your VG at about 10% with vodka if you're going to be using VG-heavy recipes. Okey dokey, done that.. 40ml of Care+ Glycerin diluted with 4ml of Vodka in it's own bottle. Would I have to alter the recipe in eJuice Me Up to take into account of the vodka?? Would that still ring true with 3 flavours?? Looking for a general formula to start with ya see, so a 20% total flavour is about ball park, whether it's 1 or 5 flavours?? |

Well only 12 days 'real' vaping and I've already taken the plunge into Mixology. My mixing kit arrived yesterday from The Alchemists Cupboard along with Cherry, Toasted Almond, and Golden Pineapple Capella Flavourings and after a quick trip to Superdrug, Boots & Asda I picked up some menthol crystals (Care+ 5g), Asda Rum Natural Flavouring, 200ml Glycerin (Care+) and just in case a small bottle of vodka and a dropper bottle. Also got 2x 2.5ml (out of date) syringes and some gloves from the good lady wife's work.  Question 1: Is that everything needed to take the plunge into the vaping mixology world, apart from more flavours of course?? Oh the big tub at the back is fermenting Rhubarb wine, not part of the vaping chemistry set.  Question 2/3: I've mixed up my own menthol with about 5ml of menthol crystals and 5ml of PG as per instructions here and it looks & smells like it's worked ok. Is there a shelf life for my home-made menthol mix?? And is there any other methods for making Menthol concentrate and how??? ie: VG based or Vodka based Question 4: Have I formulated the recipe correctly for a Menthol Juice?? I'll be using ml to measure out not drops btw. Question 5: (last one for now  ) When having more flavours in a recipe, say Cherry & Menthol, and my recipe above works out just right for my vape would I keep the % the same for the Menthol and add the cherry flavour??? ie: Menthol @15% + Cherry @15% = total Flavourings added 30% (Cherry/Menthol vape) Cheers for now..

Tried out my cartos, certainly a good option for out and about. Not sure which i prefer just yet. Nice to have both options though.

Will definitely look at those Kanger EVOD BC Clearo's to replace my CE4 Clearo's when they go to vapers heaven. Spent far to much this month on vape gear already.. It was supposed to be a method for nicotine replacement, now I seem to be turning it into a hobby :-) ... Been reading the mixology threads lol
