I explained about how I have never looked back since my first vaping day, how 99% of my cough has gone, how my house doesn't stink anymore,how I switched immediately to ECIGs after 38 years of smoking(a miracle in my books), I forgot to say I was saving lots of dosh , I forgot say how my GF is proud of me and the lack of smoke helps her too, And how much more breath I had ! I , most importantly, also explained that I am now not inhaling tar or 1000s of noxious chemicals and also iterated that I do NOT want to give up my nicotine,just inhale it 99% more safely than before. Then I explained, or started to, about the Lithuanian presidency's , but obvious underhand(throwing in the tobacco "conspiracy" too), attempts to ban ECIGs and possible NHS ban in 3 years time, but my MP already knew and opposed it(a non-smoker) . Also my MP said that their MEP is being consulted on this too and that their party opposes the EU part of these possible bills.

I think you'll find there are problems that arise with most kinds of equipment, and generally on forums and alike you tend to find mostly complaints for whichever you decide to use. There are very few glass tank atty available and to me the protank 3 although it did start leaking, is easily fixed and works well. I just make sure it doesn't drop below 1/3rd full and have added an extra silicon cap from a spare head on top of the current one which seems to have stopped leakage for me (90%). Even my iClear 30's have leaked at some point. Have yet to have my iClear 30S leak, but it's early days as it's new lol. I would say the protank 3 is a good tank system and with changeable driptip you have some control on the look of it too have been using 3 X iclear30s for a month now on my VTR, no leaks yet. In terms of longevity not enough time has passed, but in terms of production they all seem to be decent and uniform.

dognosh .. if this situation has upset or angered you, might I suggest, for the sake of your sanity, that you don't order from Chinese vendors .... such problems are an every day occurrence with the Chinese and are multiplied by a factor of 10. British only I only use Brit vendors you guys have used and recommend. And when I have to be forced to use eBay, I tick the UK only box immediately

Loads here: ClickyJust don't get the ones with the needles Bung some of this over the markings and they will last for ages I do all my mixes now with syringes no matter how small the ml is, makes mixing so much faster using syringes only. I used to use droppers before for small amounts but now i just use syringes. ty, I already got some SS needles coming, 14 and 18

dognosh, the 1ml syringes that Roger mentioned, is a must and get yourself some 14g blunt needles. I cut my VG at 0.5% with vodka, to make it that bit easier to handle. If you don't want to use vodka, get some distilled water. FWIW, I use the syringes for my nic/vg/pg, but for the concentrates, mostly CAP/PA/FA - I use the '38 drops= 1ml'. Some people might tell you this is wrong, but, for me - I get 38dr per ml. I did this multiple times and consistently counted 38dr into a syringe, to make up 1 ml. So, if my flavour is 15% to make a 10ml bottle of juice, that would be 57dr's. A 5ml bottle at 15% flavour would be 28 (ish) drops. We all have our different methods, just experiment a bit and see which works best for you. If you can get hold of some 100ml brown/white glass bottles - To make yourself a bottle of 50/50 PG/VG, buy a small funnel (sell them at Asda) measure 50ml of water in ya' bottle - mark it with a marker pen or something, empty the bottle - then just funnel your VG up to the mark, then just add your easier to handle /measure, PG. Good luck. good idea, ty

I don't understand the point of this thread as you have neither contacted the vendor to get their explanation nor checked the Royal Mail signed for signature ... how are we supposed to offer any help/suggestions without any facts? It also strikes me as unfair to the vendor that you have decided not to order from him again without finding out what really occurred here. the point is that I got ideas as to what might be the possible problem, before I contact them and accuse them of falsehoods, and I DIDN'T name anyone !!! so how can it be unfair to ANY vendor ?

If you have a 1ml syringe you can extremely accurate with small amounts, so I must disagree with your inaccurate statement. soz, my fault, I meant with my 5ml syringe

You could try e-mailing or phoning the vendor to ask why this happened. On the face of it, it does'nt look good, but I would want to know why it happened true

So , you know you will mess up the first time you do anything !!! I decided since I am likely to do so, I will go simple and small. I went for simple Capella vanilla custard(CVC) mix. I wanted 2 mixes, to compare, and 2 method of measuring for the recipe, again to compare. First mix is a 25% CVC flavour in a 50/50 pg/vg , using a 72mg VG NB, PG and neat VG from boots(value health Glycerin) ,Amount: 5 ml. Method :dripping (dripping : using 30 drops per ml ) 2nd mix is a 20% CVC flavour in a 50/50 pg/vg , using a 72mg VG NB, PG and neat VG from boots(value health Glycerin) ,Amount: 5 ml. Method : 5ml syringe Dripping has given me about 3.5ml of juice , syringe about 4.25-4.5 1. dripping is good for small test amounts, as final total size is unimportant, the ratio is and dripping is accurate in that respect 2. syringe method using small amounts is inaccurate, but not only better but also handy and simpler for larger amounts, still not my choice of method 3. Once you know what you want in your recipe and decide to make a large batch, use accurate graded measuring jugs,not syringes. I will be looking for these, preferably 20-50 ml sized ones Observations : 1. need to change my pen to maybe a bic,as the labels smudge,even after a while and with cellotape on them (amendment, it is the cellotape that is chemically smudging my labels time to buy clear nail varnish and nail polish remover ) 2. my crafting knife is brill and a must,for cutting labels to correct size,less fiddly than a scissor 3. kitchen towel !!! 4. 30ml bottles are fine for holding my NB/PG/VG ,for when I am experimenting with small amounts. Otherwise I need 100ml bottles with wider necks ! 5. wash hands immediately after brewing or you will feel a slight burning sensation when you scratch just under your eye Now the hard part, the waiting(I will be doing a tasting after 24 hours,1 week,2 weeks, 4 weeks)

I almost never ever buy most things in single quantities . . . the fear of running out is too strong. Ok newbies, I have seen the light, the most important thing isn't backup, or advice , or juice, or anything else. If you want the ONE best advice that covers all the above, it IS FEAR !!!!!!

thanks guys, this is what I wanted, healthy debate and possible answers no Brambles, it says "Royal Mail 1st Class (Confirmed Delivery - signed for)" , but thanks anyway Could still mean that is the service selected, after all you did say the PDF appeared immediately after you placed the order..or something to that effect. true, again hence why I am asking and not naming. And I have decided not to name them even in a PM
