Yes Yes & Yes I bought 3. One for me, because I'm worth it, one for younger son, a thank you for introducing us to vaping and one for Angie as an early birthday present. OneDay & markm have given the reasons why I chose Provari. No VW is OK for me as I use the same coils all the time. If that's a problem for you Clivia then, I know this is a swearword for the shopaholics on here, but wait for V3. |

I mixed up a litre of 24mg 60/40 base and keep it in 100ml glass bottles. When I find a concentrate I like I just pour 60ml of base into a measuring pot and add 2 x 10ml bottles of concentrate. Then syringe it into a 100ml bottle. Leave to steep and syringe into 10 ml bottles when needed. Haven't bothered to work out the final nic% but it's strong enough as I still don't want a fag  |

OneDay When selling stuff we price it according to how desperate we are to sell it. The stuff I sold was not going to be used by me so I priced it cheaply to sell fast. I see a lot of items in the Classifieds and think I wouldn't pay that. I can only assume that the sellers of unsold items are not as desperate to sell as I was. Don't take my comments personally. You had posted that your items were unsold so I had a look and chose the only thing that I might have bought and gave the price I would have been prepared to pay. I naively thought that might be helpful. I hope you get what you want for what you are selling.

babs I've seen them and although I've never bought any vaping gear from outside UK I have had them in my basket a few times. Have also not pressed the send button on a PM for a coil buddy  BUT I'm hopeless at fiddly stuff and having amazed myself with rewicking decided to let someone else make my microcoils. It looks like it's going to cost me about £3 a month for heads. That's cheap enough for me. Just wish I'd started with the NatureVape kit. The money I got from selling the Kanger tanks will keep me in heads for a year. Just got to shift the cotton wool mountain in my garage now.

I think a lot of people ask too high a price. Common items won't sell quickly unless they are a lot cheaper than buying new. Did my first sale on the classifieds last week and it was sold in minutes because I priced it right. The only items that will command a high price are those that are no longer in production or have a waiting list for new. Would I pay £17.99 for an extension cap for my black Provari OneDay? No. If I wanted one I might pay a tenner |

babs I rewicked my Aerotank & Protank 3 heads with cotton wool but the coils don't last like the microcoils in the NatureVape heads. When I started vaping, only 2 months ago, I found that I wanted to try lots of different flavours. It was a PITA having to keep cleaning the atomisers & heads. With the NatureVape clearomisers I can rinse the glass tank and put a new cotton wick in and be ready to go again in minutes with a new flavour. The NatureVape clearomisers are also easy to fill. Kanger have copied it on their new tanks. My Kanger tanks have all been sold and I only have NatureVape tanks now. The microcoils in their heads are still good after a month and look perfect after a dry burn. If I'd started with them I'd have saved loadsa dosh.

Consider the NatureVape kit but get an extra battery. A lot of us started on Evods but soon wanted to upgrade. With this kit you start vaping with a microcoil and cotton wool which I think increases the chances of success. www.naturevape.co.uk/store/#!/~/product/category=8500271&id=33067825 |

Can't help with the liquid but try this:- Paste a wrap with a thick layer of Lotus spread (crunchy of course), split a banana on top of the spread, fill gap between the banana halves with squirty cream. Wrap and eat. Grandkids and I have a competition to see who has the messiest face afterwards. |

Any flying bugs that invade our house are dealt with using a racquet zapper. Mossies are deterred by eating LOTS of garlic. Appears to deter humans as well If you have a wasp nest ant powder kills them as well as ants. |

Despite not liking sites that give prices ex VAT I have been waiting for Go4Smoke to get the nic back in stock and made my second order with them. The only place I could find it cheaper was BlueStar but couldn't get rid of the dodgy feeling their site gave me. Got fast delivery on my first order with Go4Smoke so think I'll stick with them. Thanks nem for the info |

Hi rednuttOnly been mixing for 5 weeks and my experience is identical to yours. Mixed my own versions of Banoffee, Maple Toffee & Strawberries & Cream. They all taste disgusting to me even after a few weeks steeping. I'm keeping them to see if they are like me and improve with age On the advice of the boss, Angie, I've done what you are doing and have found that I love most single fruit flavours. Adding mixes in a tank I've found raspberry and mango go really well together. It's all down to our individual tastes though. I've tried a commercial version of banoffee that Angie likes and find it horrible. She says she'll try my version when her last 20mls have been used. It will have been steeping for at least 6 weeks by then and if it gets the thumbs down I'll put it at the back of the cupboard and get her to test it again in a few months. The 2 main mixing ingredients seem to be Perseverance & Patience. I need to stock up on both. |

I'm only 7 weeks into vaping and we got our kits from a shop in Birmingham. When we asked about some of the more advanced gear on display the proprietor advised us to stick to basics until we knew it was for us. At this Andover shop and one I've seen in Salisbury there's nothing but the basics.
Thanks for the warning.

Thanks for the PM Ron. I hadn't realised it was a meet organised by a vendor. Not impressed by the gear on their website so I'll give it a miss. |
