Yeah I know it will be more expensive, I was just thinking that at least it will still be possible, and with the price of ready made liquids set to rise with the cost of testing due to be passed on to the customer it should still work out cheaper to mix your own, albeit not as much cheaper as it used to be.
Best bet is still to stock up on nic base while you can 
For instance, these are the costings for a generic mix at 6mg/ml at a ratio of 30/70vg using 20% flavouring using the prices I paid for my current ingredients. Pre-TPD| 72mg/ml Nicotine | £33.24 / 500ml | 2.5ml | 0.17 | | PG | £9.21 / 2000ml | 3.0ml | 0.01 | | VG | £4.09 / 1000ml | 18.5ml | 0.08 | | Flavouring | £2.00 / 10ml | 6ml | 1.20 | | Total cost | | | £1.46 |
| 18mg/ml Nicotine | £0.89 / 10ml | 10.0ml | 0.89 | | PG | £9.21 / 2000ml | 3.0ml | 0.01 | | VG | £4.09 / 1000ml | 11.0ml | 0.05 | | Flavouring | £2.00 / 10ml | 6ml | 1.20 | | Total cost | | | £2.15 |
It's a 50% increase in cost but - compared to ready-made liquids at retail prices - it's still going to be dirt cheap, especially for those on low nic mixes. Using the same unit prices, a 30ml mix at 3mg/ml which currently costs £1.38 would increase to £1.72. Ah, Got you. Unfortunately I have no idea what I paid for my current use nic base as I bought other stuff at the same time and don't tend to keep track of prices once the bill has been paid. I don't think I even have the receipt or any emails for the last lot I bought and it was only a couple of months ago 
Your calculations look pretty good though - thanks for taking the time to work it out

Not exactly going to be cheap to mix your own in the future then if you don't stock up while it lasts, but at least there is a future  Work out how much extra the last 30ml mix you made will cost using 18mg/ml (at 89p for 10ml)? Yeah I know it will be more expensive, I was just thinking that at least it will still be possible, and with the price of ready made liquids set to rise with the cost of testing due to be passed on to the customer it should still work out cheaper to mix your own, albeit not as much cheaper as it used to be.

Crazy, France and Germany have always been big F1 participants, are both fielding teams, but not GP next year  Not to mention 2 French drivers and 4 German, 2 of them WDC Just seen Brazil is only listed as provisional as well and will not be confirmed (if at all) until January |

Hi Andy, What brand(s) are the flavouring? The few attempts at watermelon I tried (TFA / TW "Gold" and a mix of both) tended to be more of a sweet melon flavour VS a true "fresh" watermelon taste. If I remember correctly, the flavour was good at first, but after a few weeks, seemed to fade to a cucumber/mellow melon/cantaloupe type flavour. All the mixes seemed sweeter than expected despite NOT adding additional sweetener to the recipes. Good luck I I had a Lorann melon concentrate (cant remember if it was melon or watermelon) and though it had a refreshing element to it, was pure cucumber through and through

Even after all the moaning on the radio about Lewis, Nico said after the race that slowing to back him up into the pack was fair enough, while Lewis was busy moaning about not being given equal machinery. Im not a fan of either of them but through the season Nico maximised his results and earned more points than anyone else so should be seen as a deserving champion.
On another note, a huge congratulations to Force India on getting 4th in the constructors. Thats a massive result for them.
Good first season from Haas as well.
Hopefully next seasons changes will bring about some exciting races instead of a few brief moments of interest.
