Liquorice and walnut I beleive. They are his new recipes so it would be rude not to give them a go and I need to get off this black cat lol (Waiting to try a sample of Super-Shiny's black kitten in the cupboard hoping it is as good). It would be very rude..lol Let me know how you get on with the flavours once they're ready, am intrested to read what you think.

. . . won't be long before you're ' cooking up ' some delicious flavoured mixes of your own I think Siffy. You know what Mandy I think I will...lol who'd have thought it! Half the problem for me was it was a case of can I really be bothered when all I'll end up making is USA mix, this now changes everything. Probably best I get about 4 or 5 flavours I love under my belt then I can chase up the recipes and have a go myself. Mind you can you imagine my help me posts on the mixing forum? I apologise in advance....grin

What tobaccos were you vaping siffy Im having issues finding a non tobbaco juice I like so it would be good to know if we seem to like the same thing. I might try this on my next order from Frogster (The Alchemist) though I was on the USA mix ginge7289. I liked that as to me it didn't really taste of anything but gave me that am having a cig feel (am only a 3 month vaper) I have some liquorice tabac from vape escape to try, I forgot about that in my having yet another go a flavours liquid. The problems I have run into on flavoured liquid ( not purchased from vape escape I must add) is they all seemed to have that cheap, synthetic almost dolly mixture taste, just not for me. This tasted like quality ingredients have been used. Night and day in difference from what I've tried before.

Oh my goodness, I'm so excited I don't know where to start! Have just vape The Alchemist's Egg Custard Tart and I love it! I know I should have waited another week or so but just couldn't. I popped it in an Evod and on my spinner as my MVP was charging (lasted 2 and a half days of exclusive use before turning amber) and it was heaven, I honestly could taste egg custard and nu meg on the exhale. More importantly though it has changed the way I vape. I held it in my mouth for ages, rolled my tounge around so I could really, really taste it. Then when I took it to the lungs the throat hit was wham and the flavour magnified. I tell yer, am made up, truly made up. I will do an ejuice review for Frogster (The Alchemist) tomorrow on the correct page. I have just tried it out on my MVP and wow, will fill up one of my iclears next. I can't imagine it after a week or two of steeping. Just thought it best to get the emotional over the moon post out my system first. I have 4 other new ones to try and am looking forward to it. I never believed this day would come and am so happy, just brilliant.

Well that is flippin gorgeous! It says it's out of stock so doesn't show the price ... massively expensive?? I'd love something like that. My hubby has just built a fantastic looking piece of kit with a shiny mod and a tank with a carto inside it. It's all double-dutch to me but it looks good and apparently vapes like a steam train. Way to big and heavy for me though. Sorry missed your question joehel. Yes, the price is very But, the product quality is the best I've ever experienced, so I suppose it's subjective. Wow this looks beautiful, easy on my eyes. How much do they cost I wonder and it goes to 20w so what type of atty do people use to withstand that, without it giving that burnt yuck hit?

oxo has it bang on, he needs to go through the nic levels slowly,as in switch the level wait a while, it can take a while to get through them but if your Dad is still smoking 5 cigs a day then he is actually better going up in the nic content and getting rid of those 5 cigs a day first. If he's still smoking he might just compensate the lower mg with cigs and that wouldn't be the best step for him. I think the problem is the fact he still clings to 5 are stopping him noticing cigs for what they are. He keeps saying but I don't get the same satisfaction from vaping as you do Sharon. I suggested he maybe try 24mg to get the kick at the back of the throat that he gets from his 5 cigs, mind you that was before his doctors visit last Friday. He hasn't started 24mg though yet, says he will use his 18mg first as he's old school and will not tolerate waste. I can only imagine the fact he still has the 5 make the 5 seem even better as he is longing for them, so giving them more pwer in his mind. The fact he still smokes them he can't yet taste how horrid they do taste when your sense of taste comes back. He often says the fact I can allow myself those 5 is what gets me through vaping for the rest of the day, he sees the cigs as a reward. My dad is not someone I can ever advise, unless of course he directly asks for advise, so at least with the info you guys are giving me I can pass it on as he needs it. Between you and me I would be over the moon if he just dropped those 5 but as the minute I don't think he mentally trusts that vaping will fill satisfy his needs. Although he is over the moon I have made a full switch but it's that old smoker chestnut he uses...ahhh see but I'm different, I need a cig because. I know that old chestnut as I used it myself all the time in the past.

You can select desktop version form the bottom of the mobile page. Much better functionality but if you don't use a browser that re-sizes itself it can be hard to get the right amount on screen. That was an issue I had, hardly any screen.

I must just say in no way did dad or I think his current problems are due to him starting vaping, it's all to do with years of smoking. Still, there's no point in crying over smoked fags, nothing he can do about that now but can at least prevent any future problems.

Oh I'm on mobile version purely because it's what I'm used to seeing, if I go desktop if feels like a different place, my eyes are used to this version I use and it feels comfortable just like home.

Hi guys please bear with me as I know what I mean but as ever will confuse myself so gawd help you..lol Ok so say someone had to reduce their nic levels due to say years of cig abuse and their arteries where very blocked, how does reducing work? I understand the concept of reducing the level might mean you vape more, so if you do vape more are you just not ineffect getting the same nic level, if not more? Would it be better say that they had a ml allowance a day but kept the level of nic the same? It's not for me hopefully! ( having my cholesterol test in 2 weeks) but info for my dad. Thanks in advance if anyone can shed anylight for him. It took my seven months to reduce to 2.5mg, I tried a ml allowance but could not handle the craving. I just dropped the mg vaped as much as I liked, I vaped more after each drop but it settled down after about a week I would then make sure my body was acclimatized for a few weeks then drop again. You will have an higher nic intake while your dropping through the 24mg to 8mg so you need to drop through there quite quickly, as you get lower you just wont have the battery power to over vape but acclimatizing takes a bit longer. This is very helpful indeed, so I see what you are saying is that if you whizz the mg down quickly, you will initially vape more (so more nicotine) but long term it will even itself out. This is very handy info if I in time decide to go down this route too, and will pass the info onto my dad too.

siffy Hi just wondering if your Dad has been specifically told to reduce his nic level & for what reason, as in the nicotine is actually doing x,y & z rather then someone just pedaling the BMA party line that ecigs are still bad for you, seems to be the case that when you get to consultant level they can be quite sensible & well informed re the difference between cigs & ecigs. If he does really need to reduce his nic level from all accounts a Spheriod or maybe a Taifun seems the way to go, I don't own one personally & they are a bit pricey but they seem to do the trick. @johanino has reduced her nic levels so she might be able to help more then me. Don't know if you've seen the latest from Dr Farsolinos re ecigs & heart function. Thank you so much for the article, I will share that with my dad am sure it will give him ammunition if he needs it. He sadly has not been getting good results back from his resent blood and cholesterol results, and his doctor is on his case. She has never onced mentioned about his smoking in the 20 years that she has consulted with him. He happened to mention that he has got his cig level down to 5 and vapes for the rest of the day. Her reaction was not positive in the sense it was a case of-sigh..well it's a start in the right direction, instead of well that's great. He could just tell she will be on his case now and I know (because I know him inside out) that he will be stressing that she might tell him that him absorbing nicotine has got to stop, as he has had a vessel in his leg that he needed an op on 10 years ago, and sadly the other leg is starting to hurt ache. So it was two things really in the sense that is e cig nicotine likely to aggravate any already health issues he has, and would a lower controlled ml be the answer if the answer was yes. Thanks again.

Sadly no :-(
We don't have a gas supply in our village so have oil heating. Have just had to fill my tank and it cost £640 and it was last filled in January. I would love it to be £27 a month, if only.
