The suggested percentage is 20% chykensa . . . . VG heavy, you may even like a higher ratio. Best bet as always is to make a few small samples at varying percentages and see what suits your tastes best. And a minimum of a week to steep (and probably longer if vg-heavy).

I'm hoping that a subsequent model will allow a standard 10ml bottle to be used rather than the weird 7ml ones that come with the Dripbox. Oh, plus a choice of ready-made coils (complex claptons?) on their screw-in decks.

Professionally produced labels: Bay LabelsVape Labels (also on Facebook) Tom CatoJolly Juice Vape LabelsDIY Labels: Use small address-type labels suitable for inkjet and laser printers available from stationary suppliers in many, many different sizes and shapes, eg. Amazon or StickyLabels. Alternatively buy A4-sized labels, design whatever sizes you need and cut the page up with a scalpel. Label design/production software (free!): Avery Design Pro 5 Decadry Dedicated label printers: I've seen several Brother printers (in the 500- and 700-series) recommended for semi-professional juice-makers. And read that several high-volume diy mixers use the Dymo Labelwriter 450 thermal printer.

The government have published (the final version of) the Tobacco and Related Products Regs 2016 (direct link to pdf) today. The first thing that's been noticed is that the potential loophole regarding the sale of nicotine solutions to consumers in bottles other than refill containers seems to have been closed:

TW posted the same double discount code on Facebook this morning (Sunday) so I guess it'll work today as well.

I've been using mine for 12 hours with the supplied RDA and a Velocity with BF pin and I'm really impressed - it's a great little package for the price.
I can see the cheap replaceable 'drop-in' decks bringing sub-ohm vaping to those who'd stayed away from dripping because of the perceived hassle of making coils and wicking.

There's quite a few interesting recipes on ELR that include Cap Pralines & Cream. (Hint: The website works best if you pick the 'version' of your concentrate that's been used in the most recipes.)

If you're picking up some Salub Arome bargains from The E-cig Shop, grab some Liquid Barn Vanilla Ice Cream concentrate while you're there - several US mixers reckon it's the creamiest on the market.

I've seen no official indication that 5ml 'spare' tanks within the packaging of (hopefully) 'compliant' 2ml TPD ones will be acceptable to the MHRA but maybe Dave had heard that unofficially. On a previous show he showed a tank, although I can't remember which one it was where it was supplied as a 2ml tank and had a spare "Fat Boy" barrel shaped tank glass that took the capacity up to 4 or 5ml. I take on board your other points, however it still does not alter the good news about only one liquid strength in a range having to be tested. Also hifistud postulated that the DOH/MHRA may never get around to sorting out the toxicoligy/emissions testing. That a spare 5ml 'fat boy' tank is currently supplied with a 2ml tank is no indication that it will be acceptable to the MHRA enabling it to be "sold in a TPD compliant state" as you originally put it. I certainly agree that reducing the number of tests required per juice line is very good news and a potential lifeline for many smaller juice producers. Adding the "highest nicotine content" test requirement just confuses matters. Perhaps I missed it in the video but I'm unsure what Dave believes needs "sorting out" in the reporting of the toxicology / emissions testing for juices. Maybe something to do with the extent to which analysts are supposed to search for previously reported negative health effects? But the point I was making was that it is not the MHRA's responsibility to do the testing and analysis.

My understanding is that the MHRA believe that the results of only one test per 'flavour line' will be required but that it doesn't matter which nicotine strength is used - not the highest in that 'flavour line': The MHRA won't be doing any testing of juices themselves, except presumably the odd spot-check for accuracy - it's up to the juice-producers to get the testing and analysis done either in-house or by third-party laboratories (at considerable cost) and then input the data into the EU-CEG online database. I don't understand what point Dave was making about not knowing what will be compliant. While it's certainly the case that we won't be sure which atomiser features will be acceptable to the MHRA until details of those products are published, the EU's notification data dictionary explains fairly precisely what information will be required for juices to be acceptable. But any claim that a current product is "TPD-compliant" is stretching the truth as no producers will have any idea if the MHRA will deem their notification to be complete (let alone, compliant) until they've entered their notification data into the EU-CEG system. And they can't even start that process until May! I've seen no official indication that 5ml 'spare' tanks within the packaging of (hopefully) 'compliant' 2ml TPD ones will be acceptable to the MHRA but maybe Dave had heard that unofficially.

Stuffed a large mod in a jiffy bag, eased it into the cup-holder and poked the mod around to give it a little breathing space. Then just cut the excess away with scissors.
It's not particularly elegant but it does the job and cost me two minutes.
