So I am totally new to mixing - as In I don't even have any mixing supplies. Been doing plent of revising around the mixology section though and seems pretty straightforward. Obviously it's down to my own tastes and a bit of trial and error, but the basics seem pretty simple.
Just a couple of questions though...
1) Nic base - best to use PG or VG base? And what are the advantages of each?
2) Starter kits - worth getting one to give mixing a go?
3) Is it quite easy to do your mixing calculations with paper and pen?

Just read in the mixology section that this cracks tanks? I have had it in a ce5 for a few days with no clouding and no cracks. Is it just the DIY or the premixed aswell? Even checked before using it in a polycarbonate tank but found nothing to say I shouldn't

Try Afro Dizziac by T-Juice. It's a bit different but got a potent aniseedy kick to it.

I think you may be confusing the flavourings with essential oils. I am a practicing aromatherapist and can say that I doubt very much that there would be dangerous of levels of terpenes found in natural flavourings. There may be trace amounts... but a terpene reacts very readily to heat, air and oxygen. Since the flavours in question are all water based, the breakdown of these compounds would happen rapidly.
Any oil based compound from anything that grows and is extracted through distillation, solvent extraction or expression are done so with preservation of these compounds being a key element.
Limonene will most certainly be found in oil based flavourings, but if at all would be in much lesser amounts in water based flavourings.
I could be wrong as I don't know the exact process for creating the concentrates, but my guess is as well as being water based, the liquid will be pasteurised at some point as well to combine flavours or allow it to bond at a molecular level, thus removing any of these compounds that may remain.
Not saying I have the answer either but definitely worth looking into further. And I would certainly back the notion that anything artificial should not be consumed, ingested or vaped for that matter. When you get into the chemistry of what happens when your organs break these compounds down (or don't in many cases), there are many risks to your health that could arise. I can't afford liquids like that at the moment but, if my funds allowed, I would take my chance with them over cheaply manufactured artificial ingredients in the liquids I am currently using.
Not meaning to debate either, I understand both points of view here, just my two pence worth.
An interesting area to look in to for sure!

I pretty much vape anywhere - pubs and restaurants I ask. But shops etc I like to make a game of seeing how well I can conceal the fact i'm vaping. Like the challenge of stealth vaping in odd places. Even when in whetherspoons I'd give it a good go. Never had someone ask me to stop so far, but if they did I'd respect it and play by their rules.

CaptainChaos, I will take the whole lot and in return offer an empty popcorn bag and some clippings from each toenail on one foot of your choice

Hey Trina, some good ideas and advice there. That's the thing - I dont vape around him. Only in the kitchen, never in the bedroom or living room. As it turns out, I woke this morning to find she obviously did realise she was being unreasonable; she had actually gone to research and find a case for passive vaping and all that she could turn up that seemed legit to her were several studies that show no effects on lung function and no contaminant exposure.
She has apologised and retracted the no vaping in the house rule, but would still prefer me not to do it around the wee man, which is totally fine by me. I never would have chosen that anyway, have always kept it away from him
