Links and descriptions for a few recommended scales that are suitable for diy mixing. STOP PRESS: According to the product description, you can over-ride the auto-off on these scales which are on special offer right now at £7.49 (and post free if you add stuff 'fulfilled by Amazon' to make the order up to £20).

This is what one of the manufacturers writes about each of the cooling agents now available:
WS-3 [TPA Koolada] is a menthol derivative. But unlike menthol, WS-3 is virtually nonvolatile, odorless and tasteless. WS-3 is one of the most used cooling agents in the market and it’s known for its clean immediate cooling impact and has been found to cool primarily at the roof of the mouth, the back of the mouth and the back of the tongue.
WS-23 is not derived from menthol. But like WS-3, it exhibits little or no odor or taste and has a low volatility. Sensory evaluations of WS-23 indicate that the product cools more in the front of the tongue and mouth. While the product has somewhat less cooling impact than that of WS-3, the cooling profile is more round and smooth in character.
WS-5 has been found to have approximately two and one-half times the cooling intensity of WS-3, it is one of the strongest commercially available coolants, yet exhibits a smooth and round flavor profile. WS-5 has been found to cool primarily at the roof of the mouth and the back of the tongue.

Buy some WS-23 and add just a few drops to (pretty much) any one-shot or recipe that takes your fancy.

Do I take it that the 75c is the same? 🤔 By all accounts they solved all the leaking issues on the 75 c I've used mine almost constantly for the last two weeks and had absolutely no leaking problems.

It's a great, sturdy, reliable mod that I find heavy but comfortable to hold. The only drawback I've found is that it's damn tricky getting a battery into it's slot without stripping the wrap around the positive contact. There's a ridge you can grind down with a Dremel to fix the problem but I just leave the battery inside and charge via usb.

Several of the others in the SL range have received good reviews at 4-8% so you might lose the throat irritation if you diluted the concentrate a bit more.

Has anyone found the text of Christopher Chope's bill? It does say this ceedee . . . . . so perhaps contacting the MP himself might be the most straightforward option? www.chrischope.com/contactMr Chope and I occupy opposite ends of the political spectrum - vaping may be the only thing we agree about - so I was trying to avoid direct contact. I'm hoping that he received 'assistance' in drawing up the Bill from one of the trade groups and that they may have published it independently.

If I've made 200ml at 4% then I add 200ml at 2% does this make the final at 3%? I think so but I'm just checking 🙄🤔 Yep, 400ml at 3%.

So i take it Chefs Rebranded strawberry jam is no longer rebottled Cupcake World then? I bought some of the CCW stuff about year ago and it was weak as hell even at 30%. Will try the Chefs now. The Chefs Choice range is rebottled Cupcake World. Chefs have always stated that the identity of the manufacturer(s) of all the concentrates in the Rebranded section is confidential for contractual reasons but I'm fairly certain that none are from Cupcake World.

Could we get the vapourhut one edited please? We are moving down the road (and possibly change the name to the new name ) 278 Slade Road, Erdington, B23 7LX Thanks It would help me a lot if you could give me your old post code I'd guess that this is probably the 'old' entry: Vapourhut 337 Slade Road Erdington Birmingham B23 7JX

Rather than putting in one large order with FT, split it across several small orders to keep the value of each one as low as possible. This will reduce the chance of you being hit with vat (and something like an £8 handling charge) if the parcel is inspected by HM Customs when it arrives in the UK. So how low is low? £20, £50, less than £100? FastTech will usually under-declare your order but - officially at least - personal imports valued at over £15 (including shipping and insurance) are liable to vat. I've never had an order inspected but would much rather they hit me for the vat on £25 than £50!
