Almost like someone saying, let's make a great juice and then add something awful to it to totally wreck it. Very strange...
Are they sweet flavours ghostrider1971 ? I ask because I used to find if Stevia was used that left a really weird aftertaste . . . or I'm trying desperately (and failing ) to remember what was used in the likes of Colonel Custard instead of Acetoin & Acetylpropionyl for a creamy effect, but tasted like decayed baby vomit to me. Dave Postmodern Smoking can you recall? |

Yep. Business as usual  More n More pods / disposables. Be glad when this phase passes and china start focusing on rda, rta, mods. particularly squonk again. Think i've got a long wait tho ! Making and selling reusable/rebuildable kit like what we use is never going to provide the massive income stream that disposables offer. Plus most consumers are never going to come to terms with the degree of faffing involved. If anything I am surprised there is still so much reusable kit made.
Totally agree Richard . . . nothing stays the same forever whether it we like it or not.
So many people now are what I call ' time poor ' so if there's fewer demands on their time they will take shortcuts if possible. I've artificial grass and have just had some composite fencing put up - just a couple of examples which for me save my time and gives me the freedom to do things I get more satisfaction from - this extends right across the spectrum, whether it ready meals etc etc.
If you enjoy and have the time to tinker, fair enough, each to their own. 
Annnnd, in spite of the vast array of kit I've stashed away - I do use these disposable tanks, they're rather good actually. Faff free and I can put around 200ml of eliquid through them before they peak off.
If disposables stop people from smoking then I'm honestly all in favour.  |

Yes, of course but have you ever struggled to get bigger than 2ml? It's never been an issue as there are ways around that. Disposables on the other hand 😡 2ml tanks . . . just why???? I know why of course because of the TPD - but they achieve absolutely nothing, other than to be hugely irritating.
You did ask . . . and not everyone is aware of the ' workarounds ' as many vapers don't buy their supplies online now. Yes, of course but have you ever struggled to get bigger than 2ml? It's never been an issue as there are ways around that. Disposables on the other hand 😡 Well all legislation should have some purpose; enforcing anything costs money and if it is not enforced and serves no purpose why have it? Isn't cutting unneeded legislation and petty rules etc part of our governments raison d'être?
It is a nuisance; last month I bought two tanks from a UK supplier who followed the rules and was selling them with 2ml tanks so I had to pay another £8 to get the bubble tanks (which are included with these tanks outside of the UK/EU) from another source.
Restricting juice/nic to 10ml phials and nic concentration to 20mg/ml are my bigger issue. Apart from the cost and inconvenience the environmental impact of those tiny bottles has to be a factor.
Exactly 100% agreed Richard. |

Literally you'll just need PG to dilute menthol crystals in rezello . . . which you could use like that giving you a 100% PG liquid, although you'd probably prefer some vapour, there won't be a huge amount otherwise. So if you aimed for a 70(PG)/30(VG) ratio perhaps, that would help to give some throat hit also as well as a wee bit more vapour.
The amount of menthol crystals you use is very much dependent on your personal tastes, so there's a little trial and error there, they're very reasonable . . . but you can make a nic free menthol eliquid inexpensively, tailored to suit you. |

Is it just a straight menthol eliquid you're after? As the crystals which just need diluting in PG are very reasonable & easy to obtain:

I can be of no help at all amygx as I'm happily stuck in a pre-TPD timewarp and have boxes upon boxes of equipment yet still to be used. I've a box of re-buildables which will do me when the coils are no longer available for the tanks I use.
The only new tank I've bought in years is a Freemax Fireluke2, with bubble glass to extend the capacity - bought several infact when they were half price at various vendors. Could I say they're any better than my trusty Cleito's & Isub's , no not really if I'm being honest but I felt I ought to try something newer.
Mod's I'm well stocked up with them, again bought when there's been deals going . . . most recent device purchase a few Artery Pal Pro2's as they take good old nautilus coils, under £6 each in a sale and have been money well spent.
Eliquid - I can't be bothered/have time thesedays for full on mixing and have bought shortfills for a while now when again there's been sales on, so my stash of nic base is getting used and these suit my love of trying new flavours and I don't get left with numerous half used bottle of flavours, although I still keep a number in just incase I feel the need to tweak to suit my tastes.
All in all, as boring as it may be, I'm quite content with what I have and as it's kept me off smoking for 12years this April - I feel no desire or need to chase something more uptodate when what I have works and doesn't give me issues. |

I've moved your For Sale thread onto the relevant board sharon16 . . . in theory you should have a 50 post count before using this forum facility, but as this is your second account to my knowledge, I've overlooked that as the two accounts combined have the qualifying number. |

It's been super crazy busy in the supermarket world as you can imagine and I've been working lots of extra hours since Black Friday . . . last night I had planned to go out with friends to a local community club, but with the virus situation we abandoned that idea, so my 4 friends and 3 dogs piled round to my house instead. We had a lovely ( boozy ) evening, laughed over nothing especially funny - but it was through Prosecco Goggles. I've not long finished clearing up the carnage!  |

How much are you making and what is the PG/VG ratio of the 18mg/ml nicotine? cheers I I'm looking at making 30ml and can use either 50/50 PG/VG or 100 VG You're a wee bit pushed on that strength nicotine base to achieve an exact 50/50 ratio goodkidd . . . this was the better calculation, using the 50/50. The shortfall in PG is so slight I'd doubt you'll notice it.  |
