Going of the price difference very I'd say that the ebay stuff is old stock. I know PG has a good shelf life and have heard that it doesn't go off but I'd rather pay a little more, buy direct and know it's fresh.
Besides, it's like I always say "you get what you pay for" and I've been stung with stuff from ebay before.
For example I ordered a few LorAnn flavourings off ebay and found them to be darker in colour than the ones I'd normally get and weaker in concentration too.
Sometimes it's just not worth penny pinching. I'll stick with reputable sources as at least that way I won't compromise my juices in any way.

You can get 200ml bottles of VG at your local Boots for £1.49 found near the cough medicines.
PG I get from MISTRAL 500ml for £14.21 excluding shipping.

The best vape I've found is Boge 3ohm 801 cartos on 5v, a marriage made in heaven. Just enough throat hit, bags of vapour and flavour that is simply delicious.
I use a GDPT at home and a Box 101 for out and about.
Blakey you should leave the cartos for an hour after filling to allow the juice to fully soak in otherwise you do risk burning the filler. I've found this with all cartos.

The Mint Choc Chip is actually Coconut Mint Choc Chip.
Imagine a minty Choc-Ice infused with Coconut and you have the taste of this one.

I love my Eastmall 801 cartomisers best. I've yet to find something to rival these for taste and they really do shine at 5v. I do expect that the Bulli A2 should be as good though so can't wait to try it.

So not all branches of Tesco then?
Clever move on their part putting them on the pharmacy counter given the price of them, as most folk will more readilly accept the price of them when compaired to things such as the Nicorette Inhalor, which is a rediculous price anyway.

The only thing with Supermarket flavourings is that the flavour tends to weaken too much after a few days. The only 2 that seem OK are the Asda Rum and the Dr Oetkers Peppermint.

I vape around 3ml to 4ml a day at 20mg and would describe myself as a fairly heavy user. Also I vape exclusively at 5v which will use a little more juice than 3.7v.

I've never used menthol crystals myself so can't comment but I think they are the same as you put in your water. There is a topic covering menthol crystals in the mixology section that might help. But I'm sure someone on here will give you the right advice.

Yes I'm getting rather put off the idea of getting any of them myself, they do'nt seem to be much cop from what folk are syaing about them.
If you want a good Caramel and Hazelnut tynesider, then I can highly recommend the F'art ones. I use them myself and are really good, just go easy as they are quite strong.
I found the Ethyl Maltol crystals gave my juices an off taste no matter how I made it up. Perpy's right though if you use VG in your mixes your juice should be sweet enough.

Notice you were using pipettes Roache, would'nt it have been easier to just put it all straight into the bottle and save all the cleaning up after mate?
Nice video though.

Yes they are rather good are'nt they, definitely for the flavour monsters among us, and as you say unbelievable at 5v.

A friend of mine uses all VG as well so when he mixes he adds 10ml Vodka to 40ml of plain VG, and 6ml to 40ml VG based Nic juice, and finds that to be just right.

If your using pre-made juices then be aware that adding Vodka will weaken, or even destroy the flavour of your juice. Thinning with Vodka is only intended for VG on its own.
For pre-made juices you'd probably be better off using de-ionised water as that will not react with the flavourings, but it will still weaken the flavour.
