So, the flavours most of us use come from cooking as I understand things. Is it still safe to use them that way or are they specifically tweaked for vaping?

I'm mostly wondering about using sweetners in cakes. I do miss cakes! So if I can use them safely then I'd like to!

Does anyone here happen to know for sure? ???

EDIT, Sorry folks I had to edit the title, clearly the heat has me on the ropes today! LOL 

Hehe is used by some to mark amusement. This was the case this time too - in the wee small hours when I typed it, it had amused me to see you make exactly the same sort of mess of things as I normally manage to do! I felt a lot less alone at that point, however it is the morning now, and it's business as usual as far as I can see. 

I looked into the other threads about them on this forum, I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt as it seemed it could be sheer bad luck. I placed a small order with them on 26th. There was no warning about any delay as far as I could see, and I made a point of looking, certainly nothing like the one that is there right now. Paid the extra for first class etc. (about £4.10 I think) Goods arrived on 31st. No paper invoice. Given that experience I'm not really sure if I would order again or not, was not bad nor good, so I'm left just not sure. Goods seemed fine. Prices were not bad, but not entirely thrilling.

I've had better service for free delivery (second class letter post) with one retailer; Arrived in about 3 days. This has been consistent on 3 orders.

Also with another supplier for £1.90 (described as standard); Arrived in 24 hours. This has been consistent over about 6 orders or more.

Another for 2.50 (auto calculated); arrived in 24 hours, this is consistent so far on 2 orders. (EDIT, sorry just remembered second one is due tomorrow)

With another I had mediocore service for £4.49 delivery, but still far quicker than LTE on this occasion.

I must add that I ordered from all of these sources on the same day within an hour of each other.

I only offer this as a comparison of how they all did on the same day. It's not meant to be a supplier review. (but maybe that's not a bad idea for the future either!)

I'll leave it to all of you to decide what you think about all that.

I hope it provides some helpful insight. 

Thanks Perpetua, I do have Frogster's one bookmarked already as potential source as I do want 72mg. I'm maybe looking for PG as well at that strength, and that is terribly hard to find over here. When you look at the sheer range offered by nic vape for example then look over the uK supply situation, it does make one very sad to be stuck with so little choice, and more or less no sign of any or much competition in the market place. I'm still not sure if I should just make myself one more nic vape customer. If only there were some seriously good choices to be had over here. Those actually having any stock is really something big over here right now, and that's not a good situation. If I could I would really prefer to support a local supplier, but they need to meet me half way and have some decent stock to choose from and price it competitively.

Frogster's AC seems to have 72mg VG covered fairly decently and that is to be applauded, but what on earth are the rest of them playing about at?

Sorry, did not mean to rant, but it has been a truly vexing search so far. In harder times like these it's a really good idea for a business to try and shine and therefore make some headway if only in goodwill rather than chance falling away as an also ran. 

You can probably tell that this has been much on my mind the last day or two - I'll get over myself soon I hope! 

2 'O' rings! Made a pair of Protanks have a much tighter draw and makes them a lot quieter! 

It was 24mg Rolling Holborn from eVape. I've got the flavouring only now as well and am trying to develop a plan of how to make my mix seem like their mix, and then to cut it back to 50% of the original strength with VG as that is what I have come to really like.

So I got to replicate theirs as close as I can first then cut it back to half strength, and I am so glad I made rough notes on what I did to theirs at the time, thanks to some really good advice here on that bit!!   Theirs is 50/40 so the label says! Then they list the rest of what's in it and that must account for the last 10% I can only guess. I covered that in more detail earlier on in the thread, (or was it in another?). I'm clearly too tired right now!

It's going to be a fair bit of detective work ahead, as well as some trial and error I'd imagine, but I really want to make a decent job of this one. As my supplies were running low, I realised how much I would miss it. I've decided to buy some more and cut it back to half strength like before to see me through the learning phase for making my own version. I learned that the resulting mix from cutting back theirs is best allowed to steep for at least a week after the remix is done. A week or two more than that makes it really perform to it's best.

Just to make matters a little harder I have now got a new PG AND VG in stock, but they are in some serious quantities, and the economics of it makes it well worth learning to get that right as well. OK, so it's a lot of variables to juggle at once, but I just have to get this one right, hence trying to do my homework on it all!  

I'm using EJMU for working out a base of my own, not decided on which nic I will buy yet, but may be 100% VG as I greatly prefer VG over PG. I jsut got a litre each of PG and VG today from Klassicool. I'll grab a second bottle of the flavouring soon too. I can play with no nic for a few small 5ml samples while I decide on nic supplier. I reckon I am taking this about as good and steady as I can see how for now.

I do like the idea & thinking behind that well enough, but I read that it diminishes vapour compared with DIW and I do like vapour! I also don't drink, not that this is a big issue in this case, but avoiding alcohol might be preferred for me I think.
