Pepperty will more than sort everyone out on that front  Bran The BIG Lens
(I could grab some booze for you from Tesco tomorrow and drive it up there if that will help, just PM me by 10 AM ish, still try if you miss that)
I've got premixed cans of G&T and Pimms stashed just about everywhere my suitcase can take them, but thanks for the offer. A nice 4.30 am start tomorrow to finish packing. Bet I forget something! As long as it isn't my tickets for tomorrow, it can be bought  |

What's needed at Vapefest ? Someone with a camera to post pictures of all the action will more than sort everyone out on that front |

BrenD - I think that is the absolute point - "buying blind" - which I guess most of us are doing most of the time. You read the profile and the blurb and the "reviews" but guess we are never really sure what will turn up until we mix and try it A gin flavour I mixed and lost that really wasn't vapable a year later aside, I'm yet to buy a one shot that I wouldn't be able to vape, going by descriptions alone. Were it ever to happen, and I'm confident enough in my basic skills to be able to tweak and save almost anything, £10 wouldn't kill me, especially if I managed to find a new home for the rest of the bottle. Above that and I'd feel annoyed. Good job there's so much to try at that sort of price. |

Buying blind? The £6-10 kinda price point for 30ml if the profile sounds right up my street.
I haven't tried anything super expensive, but if I knew I liked a juice, I'd happily go to Goose Juice sorta prices for a treat. More than that even, as long as I was making a saving over shortfills.

I need my head seeing to. I'm about to nip into the supermarket before work and was planning to buy the sugar. Why on earth would I want to lug a couple of bags of sugar around London with me for a few days when I could buy it up there? As far as I'm aware the great Shrewsbury sugar shortage of 2018 isn't a thing. Alcohol is a slightly different matter as the only large supermarkets I've seen up there are the out of town ones. That might be worth lugging around. I'd be dangerous if I had half a brain. Aww BrenD  ...looking forward to my Bren hug  Well I'll be there for longer on the Friday than last year by default and almost certainly won't be tucked up in bed by 8:30 on the Saturday evening, so there will be plenty of opportunities! I shouldn't say stuff like that, there will be a 5-6 hour delay on the train now |

Helping a friend to quit the stinkies. Wants simplicity so i’m Going to give him a tfv8 tank to start with so it’s top fill. Doesn’t want the hassle of 18650s so looking for a fixed battery mod. Anyone have anything suitable they’d be willing to sell? Or know somewhere in the uk with a good price for a suitable product? If there a better choice of tank? I’m not very subjective as I haven’t tried any products other than my own. As an aside - Is it safe to charge a single 18650 based mod via USB or still advisable to use a standalone charger? Your friend shouldn't run into too many problems charging a single 18650 mod by USB, but it would be quicker and better to do so with a charger. Two or three 18650s is where it gets a bit dicey, I only trust DNA boards not to screw balanced charging up and the time issue definitely comes into play there. I really liked the TFV4, 8 and 12, the Prince less so and haven't messed around with any of the Babies/millions of variations that Smok seem to throw out there on a weekly basis. For someone getting started who doesn't know about the more recent/better gear it will be more than fine. A lot better than the gear I started with. My only concern would be how readily available the coils are these days. Might not be an issue, but I'd have a quick search to see if many vendors still stock them before handing it over. |

Hi guys, if I buy a shortfill that is 70/30 but can get nic shots cheaper elsewhere which % of vg nic shots should I be buying to keep the juice at 70/30, I apologise in advance for stupid silly questions  x You would struggle to tell the difference whatever nic shot you use, especially with a 100ml shortfill, but if being exactly 70/30 is important to you, try and find a 70/30 shot. |

The Lightning Seeds - Sense
I prefer the Terry Hall version, but he and Ian Broudie wrote a stunning song together. One that got away, this version limped into the top 40 and didn't stick around for long, Terry's 'cover' fared even worse. Easily up there with anything Hall and Broudie have ever written.

I went with one of the ones I didn't think would offend me first, Los Muertos.
They say it's a delicious blend of black cherries, blackcurrants and raspberries with a cool, menthol twist.
It's good, very good actually. One of the best cherries I've ever had. I can't really pick up on the raspberry (not a massive issue for me!), but the black cherry and blackcurrant is there and the menthol isn't at all overpowering. Definitely not a juice that was thrown together, some thought went into this one. A good start.

I'm an idiot. I should have written off the £12 for my coach home earlier and spent another night in London |

Looks like they'll be at Vapefest. Panic over, I'll leave with a little stash of juice if I fall for anything |

Two of the five sound like they'll be right up my street and it doesn't sound like there will be anything to offend my tastebuds in another two. 4/5 isn't a bad hit rate Gabriela Rosa is heading straight for the PIF box if anyone has any use for 18mg juice these days, can't be doing with Pear. A shame their range of one shots seem to be Drip Hacks, Vampire and Bumblebee, part of me doesn't want to enjoy the juice too much as I know I'll end up buying more |
