erik514 the BOGOF also apples to all their 30ml concentrates as well. Good to know. If I like their flavours I'll end up buying the concentrates

While I so think it's a great idea and it was a very good review of what it is. The question I would ask is would I get the same service that you got? Well no I wouldn't. Mine wouldn't say "thanks Erik" when I opened the box. That's probably not an issue but because they did that how do we know they didn't hand pick the juice for that box knowing it will be seen by a lot of people and if I were to buy their service would I get the same or would I get 5 assorted bottles of curried fishsnot and similar.
It will probably be an excellent service with no fishsnot in sight but I would have preferred the box for review to have been a random one. Also any company that says a CE4 and an ego battery is worth £19 isn't getting my money.

Is this a clone issue or a FT issue? Also is this not something a drill could cure? Send it to me and I'll find out lol Both. A lot of clone makers are happy to make crap and FT are happy to sell it on for them. There are some very good clones out there, but also there are some nice stainless steel or chromed brass paperweights. I have nothing against clones at all but I always expect the worst with them and then it's a nice surprise if it's a good one

Non clones aren't guaranteed either unfortunately. I bought an rba from a reputable vendor a while ago. It was advertised as full stainless steel, After a couple of rebuilds the supposedly stainless steel parts in the build deck were looking decidedly brassy. The vendor was excellent and offered a refund straight away so it worked out in the end. I don't really care if things are brass or not, I was annoyed that I had been sold something that wasn't as described.

Just think on it as a normal 10ml bottle that's a couple of quid usually is only 80p if you make it yourself

Ok so if you go for 15% it's a straight 15ml of concentrate, or if your making a single flavour you could make 200ml and then it's 2x10ml concentrate bottles. No measuring for that bit.
You can buy 18mg unflavoured but it will be a bit more expensive than mixing your own. So if you start with 72mg nic base your recipe will be
21ml nic base 35ml PG 39ml VG 15ml flavour concentrate.
That's all rounded to the nearest ml but will work just fine.
Nic base is about 11.50 for 100ml but at this strength you would end up with 500ml juice from that, VG is 1.30 for 200ml from boots, PG is about £8 per litre and concentrates are around 3.50 for 10 ml so your 100ml would cost:
Nic base £2.30 PG. £0.25 VG. £0.20 Flavouring£5.25
So total cost will be roughly £7.80 per 100ml

I'm really not sure there's much saving at all unless you usually buy the more expensive liquids. Joosejuce offer 12% discount and BOGOF on 30 ml bottles so it works out at £30 for 300ml delivered.
Making your own is a lot of fun though if you ignore the rancid recipes that seem like a great idea until you taste them

100 ml makes it much easier then. What mix are you going for? What strength of nic base do you have?

I still don't know how people decided that 20 drops was 1ml or 30 or whatever number is in fashion just now. Syringes are cheap and much more accurate and easier than sitting counting 649 drops of VG into a bottle

Emm no it isn't. Just because you are threatened the law does not give you the right to discharge a firearm in public. That would just go ontop of the long list of other likely offences you just committed by having the gun in the first place.

Hi all a few mixing newbie questions please bear with me, I am just in the thought process and considering the options ??? I am considering mixing my favourite juice grape from joosejuice... Do you find that mixing saves you money as his prices are reasonable to begin with? When you use a calculator to calculate your mixes, do you sit there and count the drops or how on earth would you measure out 2.67ml for example bearing in mind the markings on a syringe? Do you mix a small batch before a large one and what happends if you get the flavour wrong? TIA Buy a 1mm syringe and it makes it easier. Most of mine aren't really as accurate as that though, for your example I might make it 2.5. Usually I just go to the nearest 0.5ml

Yep I remembered someone mentioning steeping before. Got about 300ml of home made to use anyway so it should be steeped by then

Well if it is still on then all the better. That'll be 28 squids for 300ml
