I have a couple of added problems , first , I don't like menthol, I've just got some spearmint but I couldn't smell anything when I opened the bottle.So I'm just suffering 30 miles from home until 18:00 on a hot and sweaty building site.

It's definitely a cold, I'm sneezing, got a blocked nose one minute then it's running like a sprinter the next and worst of all the sore throat.
I want to vape but it's making my throat so bad.

I've been waiting for my JJ juices to steep for a week AND I've just got a delivery of 9 juices from another company and what happens...
I've now got a stinking cold and a really sore throat.I can't taste a thing, nose is streaming a very sorry state.
This is the first time I've had a cold in my vaping career.Unlike stinkies , vaping seems to be severely affected, even small gentle vapes seem to really hit the throat badly.I think this is because of the nature of vaping being dry in comparison with stinkies.
SO, IF your a new vaper , or someone reading about vaping and are looking to change , this is something to take into consideration.I say this because, if your new to vaping , like myself, this comes as a bit of a surprise , and maybe a heavy VG juice ( I don't have one steeped enough yet ) would help out , but certainly 80/20 juices that are mass produced almost rip up the throat.Secondly , if you're thinking of changing to vaping from stinkies , then don't try vaping when you have a cold , as you won't enjoy it and you won't be giving vaping the chance it deserves.

satanswombat I've just got a delivery of a couple of JJ juices and the email confirmation order said that the juices are freshly made and they suggested to leave the juices for at least a week to steep.
ruffdog I had the loss of flavour a couple of weeks ago, most of your early flavours will return and some won't.The juice that I started with, and REALLY liked has never come back to the flavour that I want and that's because your taste buds are now changing back to what they should be.

My wife keeps asking "How many juices do you need?" and I haven't even shown her my 300ml of nic base yet Only 300ml, you're slacking there Q wait till you start stocking up with a litre or more like many of us (due to stooooopid EU laws coming in).What EU laws are coming in toots ?
For me , I have an excuse for buying juices , it's because I'm still new to this, so there are hundreds of juices that NEED to be tried.

Have you seen the vast selection from Smoke Rainbow Montana? www.smokerainbow.com/It's a great way of trying out new flavours. I always find, no matter how much I enjoy a flavour, having a variety on the go helps stop my taste buds getting too accustomed to a taste. I've got 4 samples on their way , just a pity they didn't do a lot more manufacturers with the very well known flavours.
EDIT:- One of the reasons why I didn't order a LOT MORE is because they only seem to have certain strengths on MOST of the flavours too, and I use 18mg and have tried 12mg strengths of the same flavours and they aren't the same.

Please, please, please don't tell the daily mail that Tomato's, Potato's , Aubergines , Tea , Peppers and Cauliflower have naturally occurring amounts of nicotine in them otherwise we'll have F**K all to eat. Add to that , that even Dr Christian says ( and is fact ) that the human brain has nicotine receptors so we are built to have an intake of nicotine.
Funny how these FACTS are never brought up isn't it ???

Loctite 55 is better than PTFE for an O-ring replacement, it's used on copper to iron and iron to iron joints in plumbing and is very effective and also stronger than PTFE.
By the way PTFE is Polytetrafluoroethylene.

lairey I did decide to go to Sweetcloud and was welcomed nicely and they had a good selection of juices from at least 4 different manufacturers.
I did pick up 3 juices. The first one was another RY4 variant , this one is a Liberty Flights RRYY44 at 18mg strength but a pure VG mix, nice and VERY smooth flavour, good throat hit without the harshness.When I got it home I tried it on my dripper and it needs steeping, and for quite a while as the flavour was faint, so it looks as though I will leave this sitting on my shelf for two weeks and try it again. The next one was an aniseed, one of Sweetclouds own ( don't know who makes this one for them ) in the shop it tastes exactly like aniseed balls , which I love , I won't be using this as an all day vape but still very nice.At home again not as strong but still a good aniseed flavour and this one won't take as long to steep before proper use. The last of the 3 was a surprise, because I didn't think the flavour could be replicated in vape form.This is the Parma Violets from Sweetcloud ( again , no idea who makes this one for them ) and this took me back to my childhood.Not as strong as the original Parma Violets were30-40 years ago when I was a kid, but more like the Parma Violets of today and again really nice.At home this one won't take very long to steep as the flavour is there straight away and will improve with age.
One thing I've learn't from today is that you need to have a break after a few flavours before trying something else as your taste buds need to recover and when you go into a B & M shop this is not always possible , but it maybe worth getting a flavour you like first off ( if you find one ) , then going back later and trying a few more , because if you keep going the flavour just won't shine through.
It was a little bit of a drive but I've always been a bit of a B & M man with any kind of purchase and you can be surprised with what you'll try and like because your able to try.

Well today I got myself a couple of 306 dripping atty's and my first order from Joose Juice arrived ( Black Gold and Caramel Blend, day 1 review coming ).
I have another order for 4 RY4 types coming from Smokerainbow on it's way, well it's been shipped anyway.Also is there somewhere where I can buy a long 306 drip tip, I've found that when I'm using it gets hot after a couple of puffs ? Are their any other sites like SmokeRainbow that do small samples that are cost effective , at least if you don't like one, your not stuck with a lot of juice ??
I really hope I can go to Vapefest, I'm really looking forward to trying a lot of quality juices , but it's over a month and a half away .
I'm really not done with suggestions, please keep them coming.
Andy
