Still waiting on my bloody order from Fasttech that i placed on the 9th Dec. It was for an Authentic Sense Herakles Pro Tank and some juice bottles. Was shipped on the 10th Dec and it seems it has been to every corner of China before it left on the 5th of Jan! This will be the last time i use China Post with them. They used to be alright and i received my parcel in a couple of weeks but this time it has taken forever! I have made 4 orders since that China post order and this time i used the express UK e-packet option. it cost about an extra $1 and the comparison is light years faster. The first was placed on the 22nd Dec, received on the 29th. Second on the 24th, received 4th Jan and 3rd on the 26th, received on the 4th as well. Thats near enough a 6 day turnaround around the holidays from them to my door. Splendid imo. I now have 2 packs of coils sitting here idle (from orders 2weeks after i ordered the tank) and no tank to put them in. This tank better be good or i might just implode! Grrrr think I may have picked wrong one on my order then can't remember what I picked but on there site it says Singapore post was ordered on 3rd and not shipped yet |

I find it takes less time and patience to get the last bit out than it does using some syringes to suck it up in the first place, that being said I have 50ml syringes that work ok but it still need a little time to fill it. I also us these www.poundland.co.uk/clear-shot-glasses-12-pack approx 50ml makes sucking it up less of a chore, it all depends on my mood at the time which I use. And what goes in the shot glasses ? JD? Vodka? Sambuca? Hahahaha |

A measuring tube (cylinder) might also be helpful. do you not waste liquid or get good measurements with what stays in the cylinder |

Most pharmacy's can get you purified water BP, it's very cheap. 90% VG 10% Purified water (i.e. 9 parts VG to 1 part purified water) or 85% VG 15% Purified water just re read your first post and you told me ratio then  sorry that'll teach me to speed read |

If it's pure VG that you have, some people dilute it to make aqueous VG (by adding 10-15% purified water*). This makes it less viscous and easier to work with. Also a warm water bath for the VG bottle helps, as does removing the needle from a syringe (if you are using them). ... But well done.... and welcome to the world of DIY!! thanks do you know are to get purified water and the ratio you add to the vg? |

I was in need of vg to mix really
The starter kit I got only came with 100ml of each of and vg and 60ml of nic
So it's the vg I was short of to mix a lot of juice
So while getting that I got some nic too😊👍

I'll go for what I can realistically afford and or store I'd imagine once we get over the Christmas expense it's the storage that's the problem more than the cost Yep, I hear ya! .... just bear in mind that once supplies have run out, or post 19th May 2017, 10ml & 18mg/ml max. will make things a lot more expensive.  A few litres will go a long way. I've ordered 1L tonight along with 2l pg and 5l vg and plan on probably 2l after pay day which at the minute seems and age away hahahaha weve had my wife's and youngest kids birthday since xmas  |

Errm bout 3 litres I think, possibly a tad more c1booth , I primarily MTL at 6mg, only sub ohm in the evenings so don't go through that much liquid, so it's around a 10yr supply in there I've got about 160ml with 1L on the way spent a lot of money since xmas getting set up so will buy another 1or2L next month will need enough for the 2 of us |

Ampulla for bottles and all mine are in 100ml bottles, well aside from a handful of 300ml ones that they sent me by mistake and I didn't realise until I had bottled it  I have 300ml in 100ml bottles in the fridge at the moment, 100ml in the cupboard and the rest in the freezer in Ampulla bottles. How much have you stock piled in the freezer? |
