Just one tip: (known since I was a child wanting to refresh my chemistry set) never bother with the salespeople, always talk to the pharmacist

They do have PG, but few keep a stock; it took them just an afternoon to get hold of some for me (pharmacies are used to couriering stuff between branches - they do it all the time with drugs): 500ml for about 8 quid (I lost the receipt, sorry). Here's what they look like: Incidentally, mg for mg, you can get a bit cheaper on nicotine solution too (though not that I've found at 72mg/ml): www.ltecigs.larsentilbrook.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=61_107&product_id=488

You realise VG is only £1.29 for 200ml at Boots? (I know it's not a huge difference, since you were ordering anyway, but I do wonder why so many basic supplies are being sent by post)

Didn't Australia ban the sale of nicotine based eliquid, or am I getting my countries confused. As the article says: "users are forced to order their nicotine from overseas because it remains classified as a 'dangerous poison' that can only be sold under licence"

You'd want to avoid a funky tasting head

the amount of nicotine in 3ml of 12mg is 0.036ml of nic. Hmmmm, '12mg' is '12mg/ml' so it's 36mg. While we don't measure solids in litres the density of nicotine is 1.01 g/cm³ so it's 0.03636cm³, which is the same volume as 0.03636ml, as you say. Why would anyone want to know the physical volume of nicotine though?

" I am sure most people agree that we do not want a generation of young people recruited as addicts."Quite so. Let's register coffee as a medicinal product right now.

Thanks for the speedy answer and, indeed, you raise the other question I meant to - what about fit? Is the AW IMR battery a flat or nipple positive terminal? Will that make a difference?
I'm tempted to wait and see how others make out, rather than pre-order...

So this kit doesn't come with a battery, right? ukecigstore.com are supposed to be UK distributors so should get theirs first? (Tell me if I'm wrong) Their video says "recommend the AW IMR 18650 battery" (and show the 2000mAh going by colour), but they're out of stock! The only other battery that says IMR, at ukecigstore.com, is the eFest: Further, the VTR specs say: "Battery : IMR high drain 18650 ( without protection )" Does this mean that higher capacity batteries (than 2000mAh), that are protected and don't say IMR, like the XTAR ones are not suitable?

TW American Red is a bizarre flavour. Send me a PM and you can have my remaining concentrate (or I can mix it up to your spec if anyone else wants to try it) - I certainly won't use it myself.

Nice one. I ordered mine a month ago - arrived in two weeks, but it was the v1. Still the single best eCig-related purchase I've yet made.
In any case, I'm thinking of upgrading to the VTR once they're in.
