Thank you Mandy, As you know from the past it'll probably be a 5 minute wonder but I'll give it a go, started off her own back this time so it might happen this time. Fingers crossed Raggy . . . . you can but try and give your good lady the best support possible. i made up 30ml today and my wifes taken it too work but i was just wondering how quick the nic get properly mixed in, ive never used it that quick myself. as for fingers crossed,only one night and morning and its like sharing space with a grizzly bear, more keep hands and fingers in me pocket.

how about pouring 30ml into a 50ml bottle and then adding (maths please) some 7.2 so you dont waste too much juice as she might find it too strong. or even use a 10ml bottle just to see how it goes. About the closest I can get without being silly over volumes MrDJ , ragjoy . . . . .

i just bought 0mg juice, so could add my own nic. OK but once you have sorted this out; and if you still have a supply of 72 my advice is buy VG and PG and concentrates and mix your own properly.
Shortfills have only appeared because 72mg/ml is no longer legal to sell seems daft to buy them if 72 is available. ive done that in the past, which is why im holding 2.5 ltrs of nic but i really like campfire custard, it was cheap every time ive stocked up with it, maybe not as cheap as diy, i still have 300ml of old stock and now another 480ml. i do intend to start mixing more seriously. as for shortfills id never even heard of them till a few days ago, for me i was just buying 0mg juice.

I must be missing something but if one can source 72mg/ml nic why buy shortfills at all? It just complicates mixing. i just bought 0mg juice, so could add my own nic.

These are the first bottles I've bought since the changes. I really don't see how I would know that I'm not getting 120ml it doesn't state it as far as I can see on the site. Too be pedantic, if it said 500ml I wouldn't expect 100ml, I'd expect 500ml. My thoughts were if I wanted shots I would get 120ml total whatever amount of nic shots I bought, so with no nic I just assumed I'd get 120ml. If this had been explained when I made one of around 6 queries then I would probably just accepted it but they can't even be bothered to reply. Overall I think its very misleading and trading standards wouldn't allow it to be sold this way. On a brighter note there was exactly 400ml and I added 80ml of 72mg nic creating 12mg strength, thought I'd try to cut the nic down a bit more. Thanks for your input mrdj, appreciated. it will only be 100ml in the 120ml bottle as they like most other places are sold as shortfills so there is still enough room for nicotine shots. its a grey area as if you was on zero nic you would only get 100ml and not 120ml as advertised.

Hi ragjoy , Yes, adding 2X10ml 18mg/ml (1.8%) nicshots to 100ml will make 3mg/ml (0.3%) juice. Adding a additional 28ml of 72mg/ml (7.2%) nicbase will make it 16m/ml (1.6%) in strength:
ETA - At 9W 3mg/ml nic is very mild so I agree that increase her nic strength would be good to try. thank you, postmodern smoking. just have too weigh up if it will destroy the flavour too much. thanks again.

just re read the the site and you may well be right about the amounts i think it can be read both ways, too me it read 120ml per bottle or if you have nic shots it will be 100, albeit there using the 60ml bottle in the description, see below.
As the nicotine has to be sold separately, you will receive 50ml in a 60ml bottle of juice and one 10ml TPD compliant nicotine shot which you will need to add yourself. This will make the eLiquid 3mg. If you want 6mg this will be 40ml in a 60ml bottle of juice and two TPD compliant nicotine shots.
VG/PG ratio is 70/30. We are able to change the ratio to suit your needs, please leave a note on your order telling us if you require a different ratio. Estimated steep time for this flavour is 14days please note it may be more or less depending on how you like it.

thanks guys, firstly the order is/was 100% for 4 x 120ml, honestly its not a misread, its on the invoice (see bottom). those bottles, i believe are so you can add nic shots, if you dont buy the nic then they should be a full 120ml maybe thats where the error has arose and the have assumed i was adding there nic shots. maybe ive got it wrong but it doesnt read that way to me.
i think what i will do is empty all bottles into the measuring vessel and see exactly what i have, then use ejuice me up and calculate, that way the whole batch will be the same. thanks for the help.
Description Unit price Qty Amount Campfire Custard Nicotine:0MG | Bottle Size:120ml £13.00 GBP 4 £52.00 GBP discount -£26.00 GBP 1 -£26.00 GBP Subtotal £26.00 GBP Postage and packaging £4.40 GBP Total £30.40 GBP Payment £30.40 GBP

off her own back my wife has bought a grape vape by far eliquids. you get a 100ml bottle of 0mg juice and two 10ml shots of .18 nic she has added the nic and this creates i believe a 3mg mix. over the past 9 years she has, with my encouragement tried vaping about 6 times, only to go back on the fags very quickly. the fact she has done this off her own back is a bit more encouraging than me pushing her. the problem i see is at 3mg she is really going to struggle using the same setup as me, which is Innokin Endura T18 Coil Heads at 9 watts, this is the only method i use and have little or no knowledge of setups available now, im happy ish with my setup. im thinking use some of my 72mg nic to boost the 3mg juice but now that the mix has been made at 3mg how would i increase it to for example 16mg. i could i suppose buy her a different method of delivery but i dont want to interfere too much this time, she has a istick 50 watt that i bought her last time she had a vape moment. any help gratefully received tia.

ive had delivered 4 x 120 ml of 0mg campfire custard. is there a recommended simple calculator telling how much 72mg nic to add to create a 16mg mix, i may cut this down a bit, been at 16mg for well over a year cutting from 24mg, i vape at that strength as i use Innokin Endura T18 Coil Heads at 9 watts so its not a heavy vape creator, i just added this as i know many of you guys are at 3mg or similar.
on a note ref dragons rise: i ordered 4 x 120ml. the juice arrived 10 days late, so 2 weeks from ordering, i also paid the small amount extra for a quick delivery. i contacted them numerous times about it not arriving, eventually, i got an email from simon stating it had been returned for some reason and it would go out on the monday (a bank holiday) and there would be a free bottle as compensation. eventually it arrived (no extra bottle) on measuring the first bottle, as i was about to attempt to start adding the nic i found that there was just over a 100ml, i supplied dragons rise with photos of the classroom type chemistry measuring vessel, i used the internal messaging, email and the phone number supplied, ring and by text but got no reply at all, ive now gone through paypal as i simply cant get no response from them. ive used campfire custard for around 18mths and ive just ran out of my 16mg supply that id ordered prior to the nic ban. i doubt i will be using dragons rise again, this is not the first issue ive had supply issues with them but i enjoy the juice so i had persevered but this really has p***ed me off, not them getting it wrong but the fact they wont reply to any contact thats made. if im 80ml ish short i could have finished up with an over-strong mix if i had added enough nic to create a 16mg final mix, to what would be assumed to be 480ml.

We'll, I've tried resetting and nothing seems to happen, the wattage which is the only adjustment I've made is the same @ 9.1w and all the rest is as preset. I'm using the up button and the reset button. I've tried this when on, off buttons lock and unlocked. Has it reset?, Don't seem like it to me. I used this from Monday 8pm ish through Tuesday then the this morning I'm now at what looks to be 20% of power. I will charge when flat as maybe I'm just getting a bad battery level reading. Update, if I have the buttons unlocked then press up slightly before reset I get to 9.4 from 9.1 before screen blanks. When i release and it's comes out off eleaf logo it is bk to 9.1, so I guess it is resetting. I would have thought resetting would reset all to factory settings.
