The max nic shot strength you'll find in the UK is now 20mg though most sell 18mg shots so by the time you've added other ingredients PG, VG, concentrates that reduces the nic strength down by a fair bit that's why the final strengths on the bottleshots is those strengths. There were a couple of places that still sold 72mg nic after the TPD but i'm not sure if there still are i haven't looked to buy any myself for ages as i stocked up loads before the TPD came in, i did a quick search and the only places i could find would only sell 72mg to businesses not to the public. maybe someone else knows where you can get some stronger nic from dunno.
And if you use enough bottle shots to take you to 18mg tonyp . . . . then you run the risk of diluting the flavour down to a level that might not be so enjoyable to you.
There's a few options available:
Nic Salts are now new(ish) on the market, said to give a cleaner, more intense hit than regular freebase nicotine - so you may find a lower strength using those adequate for your nicotine requirements.
Lastly, if you upgraded your equipment to a sub ohm set up now also widely used, you'll find yourself being able to drop your nic strength quite considerably as DTL ( Direct to Lung ) vaping, hits the spot much quicker than MTL ( Mouth to Lung ).
Thanks. I’m going to have to learn some mixology 😂. Those links were helpful thanks. I do have a Smok Mag on its way to me at some point this week (thought I’d treat myself as I was trying to get back onto the vape and away from smokes). |

I’ve just been looking at the Darkstar Vapour bottleshots which seem fairly simple (not sure if it ends up being pricey though?).
I was wondering, the old pre-mix stuff I’d vape was 18mg nick (a fairly heavy stinky smoker!) but with the suggested mix ratios, it only seems to give ratios to go to 9 or 12 mg nic. Am I missing something, or is it simply just a case of scaling up the number of 10ml mil nic shots?

Thanks.
I’ve dusted off my old SVD (Though May have just ordered the Smok Mag).
I used to generally get juice from Mrs Lord, or Joosejuice. (I think from looking at the latter they still sell premixed, but in the 10ml bottles. Mrs Lord seems to have stopped!).

Evening all,
I’m returning to vaping after a couple of years back on the cigarettes. I’m met with something confusing to me on buying juice. I know the law has changed and you can only buy 10ml bottles, but there is a plethora of DIY kits, and make your own now. Is there a tutorial anyone can point me towards to show how much nicotine to add to how much flavour to base etc?
(Is there also an easy, simple way and place to buy?)
Thanks.

The cinnamon is awesome! As I take a pull on the atty, I feel sweetness over my tongue and around my mouth and get the cinnamon taste as I inhale and exhale. My wife says the smell when I'm using it is of Atomin Fireball sweets. Love it, though it's a tank cracker so needs a glass tube!

Thanks guys. I'd read that the 30s was supposed to be tougher...but I have a couple of 30 (plural, but I didn't want to confuse by adding the 's') that I'd like to use. I may bite the bullet and try now you have pointed out replacement plastic tubes can be bought.
Thanks.

Another about glass tanks I'm afraid:
Am I able to replace the plastic tank of the IClear 30 with a glass one? Is there anywhere which sells the right dimension tank?
I LOVE JJ's cinnamon juice, but can only currently use it in a Protank mini I have.
Thanks all,
Tony.

Are there any top coil clearos which are ok for these juices? All the glass tanks I seem yo find are bottom coil like the Protanks etc. will the IClear 16 stand up to a tank cracker for example?
cheers,
Tony.

Hi all,
I received my SVD just over a week ago and really like it. The problem I have been having is with the 'fire' button. It seems a bit temperamental and sometimes needs a bit of fiddling before it works. Other times it works 1st time like a dream.
Has anyone else had similar issues with the SVD. Is this common or is it more likely to be faulty and should I be speaking to Myepack about it?
Thanks.
Tony.

Cheers mate.
Chris, PM me with details and I'll send the cash and my address if you still want to sell?

Hi Chris,
If Vapekingmikez doesn't want it, I would be interested in buying the Vamo from you.

Steve at Hightectrading.com. Order for 2 Protank minis on Sunday (plus free shipping) and both automated and personal email confirmation. On a Sunday. Tanks also arrived this morning. Can't fault that service!

Grizwald's arctic lemon. It killed a Vapeonly V2 of mine today. Should have guessed it wasn't suitable really. Shame as it's a nice Vape and I only have one Pyrex tank at the moment (filled with aniseed).
Strangely, liqua coffee seems to be cracking my other Vapeonly V2 as well.

Welcome. I made the switch just over a week ago - I had been using the Smoko cig-a-likes but that only really helped me reduce the Rollie intake. Last Saturday my Riva starter kit arrived and I've not had a Rollie since. In fact although in the 1st few days I kept my tobacco tin in my pocket, I don't do that now either. I also now have an itaste SVD in front of me, a variety of juices either being used, steeping or on the way to me, plus a few more clearomisers / tanks. The members here and the posts on this forum are very good at helping you spend what you have saved not buying tobacco!  Good luck with it - it's great fun! Tony. |

I don't think there is much difference in the vape tbh. The 30s is supposed to be a more robust plastic though and looks nicer  I'd noticed that the 30s is supposed to deal with 'tank cracking' juice. Does the 30 not? Is it a different type of plastic? thanks again. |
