Hi been vaping for a month now.
I use the Innokin v3 with the tanker 30s

Ive been using the same supplier for basically the same variations on the Menthol flavour they make and have settled on the following;

6mg
PG30/VG70

Ive had a few problems with the vendor, so I dont want to mention there name here, as Im not sure I would recommend them.

I wondered if anyone could recommend some other vendors that stock these types of eliquids?

At the moment Im finding most vendors dont list the PG/VG ratio and/or the nicotine levels are 12mg+
Its also hard to find out if the juices are meant to be steeped and if so for how long.

Been going round the net for about 2 hours, so I thought I would give this a try instead, 

Thanks for any help you guys can give.

I first tried Vaping a few months back and "quit", went back to roll-ups, then patches, gum and back to rollups. 1st Jan I decided to try again.
I bought a Innokin V3 which has some variable settings, which in my mind meant I had a better chance of getting what I needed without by another "ecig".
The first reason for stopping vaping was it is too complicated, even in this thread there are abbreviations like RBA - which I havent heard of before, there are too many unknown companies too. A website can be an individual or a company and while some will tell you PG/VG ratios, some will not.

While some people insist Juices need to be left for a week before opened, Ive not seen many sites tell me this before I buy.

Most importantly, and rather ironically considering I smoked rolling tobacco, there is no real "ingredients" listed, even if you are told the PG/VG ratio.
I dearly wanted to find a Tesco etc that made their own version and still find it a little strange the Nicorette arent out there making juices and ecigs.
Im back on to vapes because Im due in hospital to have a benign tumour removed and yesterday went for my pre-op assessment, the nurse and then the Consultant couldnt tell me anything about vaping, nothing good nor bad. The consultant is not even sure if I can vape the day before/of my operation (Im getting a General Anesthetic). The fact she hadnt heard of any "disasters" suggested to her "it would probably be fine". wtf?!!

It really is quite unnerving and at the end of the day it still seems you have no idea what your buying, even if someone is telling you what it is, this industry desperately needs a regulator, before it gets abused, if its not all ready. I have a slight suspicion the tobacco companies will be doing everything they can to keep it like a Wild West, the few people I know in real life who now vape or tried it and went back to smokes, admit the same concerns, its just there is a general believe you cant trust the tobacco companies anyway and we bought their stuff for decades.

I have tried looking for it, but there was an article a few month ago in the FT, about tobacco companies buying ecigs companies, the writer was suggesting what they are really doing is trying to surpress the competition as soon as a market leader emerges, rather than move into the market itself.

Im enjoying my vaping to a degree, took time off work this time I stopped smoking and although its been hellish its not been as bad as anything else Ive ever tried, could probably even just took a day or two off instead. Maybe the nicest thing so far is being able to keep the windows pretty much closed the whole evening, certainly the cat appreciates it

Hi all, took the plunge and bought some Menthol and Tobacco flavours( I know, I know) from a recommendation on here. Going to disappear from here for a wee while, as its tempting to buy a bit of everything recommended and I think I need to try settling with one for a while, before trying another.
Thanks so much for all the info and encouragment, at work today I could of smashed my head through a wall and a few customers, buts that me got 2 weeks now to be left alone and detox. Hopefully the last order I put in on Saturday will arrive tomorrow or Wednesday.
Im taking it that the Clearomizers are best used for one flavour alone, but how do I actually know when it needs replacing is it a taste thing or does it look different inside?

I had a puff of a colleagues today, which was high nictotine and high VG, with apple flavouring. I found I wasnt feeling anything as I sucked in then started coughing, as I took it out my mouth and "swallowed", it was like when I had my first ever fag, lol! So Ive ruled out 100% and 90% VG. I also had a dentist app today and hes spotted receding gums, he wasnt sure but he though too high a PG can irritate gums and that may be why they have receded a little, on the other hand he did admit it could be the other way round

Cant face the hospital and still be a smoker, so Im going to just keep on trying with these things. Do people have a rule about how many puffs they take before they stop? Ive tried telling myself 3 minutes every hour, at work its not a hugh problem but at home Ive been sucking away for up to 30minutes and so maybe that alone causes the problems ive been having.

Thanks again, I havent found away of getting an email when there is a reply here, but I will try and comeback later in week, let you know how Ive been getting on and no doubt ask for more help lol
All the best

If you happen to find it mate let me know, but dont go to any trouble just now, if its alright I may comeback to you later. Im thinking Im going to stick with one of these cappachino flaovurs and just go through the ratios to see what one works best, then I will try flvours. Maybe folks are right about ditchn tobacco flavours, its just the throat hit was just right to me, but I keep reading the PG is whats causing it and that that is the thing that maybe causing the irritation after 3 or 4 puffs.

Think I need to kind of simplify, thankyou for the offer and hope you wont mind if I come back later, cheers mate

Hi thanks to all, Ive got a feeling you all know the fut head Ive had the last few days too. I took time to reply because Ive not found how to get an email when there is a reply?
The thing about the GV juice I was smoking was I liked it, lol! It had a kick in it that felt like baccy. Ie got some coffe flavours but they are all PG 70, Ive hunted somemore on the net and it seems most tobacco flavours are that setting of 70.30 too. Ive settled for now on a 50/50 cappuchino flavour but I know its not for me, its just its not causing this tingling sensation so quickly in my mouth.
All the flavours I have are either 18mg or 12mg nicotine.
I also got up this morning and found the Cappuchino flavour has become kind of solid in the ecig, is that normal? Im still able to smoke it, but the GV juice would stay liquid. The sweetness of the Cappuchino flvr is a bit off to me, I did used to smoke Vanilla rolling tobacco but the Vanilla really did tear my mouth up in September.

Im definately going through withrawel symptoms my head is that fuzzy way, and I find when Im sucking the ecig I really want to bite into the Filter thingy lol.

Will try drinking more water and have gone to a site and orderd more of the cartomiers, so I can try new flavours

If its okay 2 other things are the cartomisers seem to leak when they are not attacjed to the ecig, as they came in a cardboard box im not sure how to store them?
The other is Ive been placing the ecig on an edge so that its sitting diagonal, with the filter at rop and base lower down, if I leave it flat it tends to flood the filter, Ive got 2 cats and this was another reason for stopping before, though for leaks, this ecig is much better than "Elegance" one i first bought. Its the fuzzy head and the minefield of options and websites Ive not heard of that got me wound up last night, Im sitting thinking I should just have a real smoke settle down and then start reading, but Im kidding myself that I will, life gets in the way and theres no time. Ive got 2 weeks off work to get this nailed down, so I really appreciate the help you have all offered, will go follow the links and just blow some money on 50/50 or less PG juices. Think the flavours arent to appealing to me just now, so Im going to go for mint or something, the sweet ones feel too sickly. I take theres no sugar like stuff that can damage teeth in any of these? I googled but didnt find anything.

thankyou again, will check back in tomorrow,

Happy New Year to you all

Hello again to all, not sure if I should be posting here or elsewhere, but I thought I should report in on my ecig experience. The Elegance kit arrived the following day from Cloud9. They helpfully provided their own instructions for use as the company dont seem to bother, but wants not to clear (probably because its obvious and Im just dumb) is the following...

Do I inhale while pressing the button down, or do I press, for chosen time and then inhale?
I have also found that my mouth can feel a bit irritated and have read elsewhere here that can be the level of PG, so I have order some samples from another company called Health E Vape, with a lower ratio 50/50 instead of 70/30. I wanted the throat hit and I feel that will be important if Im going to get used to this.

Im also finding I either keep on puffing away until my mouth starts tingling or I put it down and forget to switch it off. It doesnt seem to switch itself, though it was stated it would do this.

My other question is about how much from a bottle is enough. Is it a bit like filling a Zippo? You find its flooding, but if you wait it goes down and then you can add quite a bit more?

Im not sure if the tingling//irritating sensation is this PG value or, because Ive never put enough fluid in it and its begining to "burn" or even if its just the Vanilla essence flavour is a bit too strong.

Still not sure about this, but Ive read some very sad stories from users on here and elsewhere about the reality of what continuing to smoke the fags can end up causing to your health. Moneys tight and so before I decided this change in my life I had stocked up in tobacco, still finding I prefer to have a fag more than a puff on the ecig and a big part is this issue with the fact the E-cig doesnt really end, as in theres no stubbing out after 5 minutes or so. Has anyone else found this an issue when switching?

Thanks again for the warm welcome, sorry if Ive posted in the wrong place.
All the best
