Just purchased a few items from karl6k. Absolute pleasure doing business with. Even though it was late afternoon, he posted them the same day and I received them the next. Cracking service! Also, everything was as described and even included some extra goodies. Thanks dude! Top man.

If I'm feeling lazy, I'll put some new mixes in plastic bottles with sturdy screw tops, double bag them in poly bags closed with a cable-tie and chuck 'em in with a load of laundry at 60 degrees.

Haven't had the opportunity to try it myself but I've heard that a bit of sugar or honey under the tongue helps to quickly relieve nic OD symptoms.

T-Juice Forest Affair. Tasted like 50% PG/ 50% nail polish remover, with some blackberry perfume squirted in.

Mom & Pop have a decent line in premixed concentrates. Generally mixed at around 20%. I'm not really a fan of fruit flavours but quite enjoy Enigma. It's a mix of dragonfruit and watermelon. Think I got it from Leisure Liquids.

Great feedback, thanks all. You're right, each added component has it's part to play and getting them all to mesh in the same instance will ensure the best outcome. Yes, Perpetua and sydsut, that's a great idea to do some side-by-side comparisons. I should have done it ages ago and not been such a lazy git!

Hi all, hope everyone is well. I've been making my own juice for a while now and it's been ok so far, bar a few hiccups, but that's par for the course. Been wondering lately if my method is flawed and just putting it out to see if anyone can spot if I'm doing something wrong or it wouldn't yield the best results. My juices taste good to me and I enjoy them, I just get a nagging feeling that I may be missing something that so obvious that I can't see it.
What I like to do is mix up 50ml of single flavours in blue jars, the wide neck ones like face cream jars, which allows me easy access to mix with the milk frother. Then when I want to make up a concoction, I take some from each jar and mix up in a squeezy bottle. So essentially, instead of mixing up a single bottle with a mix of concentrates and then waiting for it to cure, I take already mixed and aged single flavours and combine them. I don't add nic to the single flavours, only when I'm combining a mix.
My thinking is that using pre-aged single flavours is less wasteful and easier ( bar the initial cure time) than mixing up a recipe, then waiting to cure and finding out that at the end it is no good and having to start over. Or ending up with multiple tweaked bottles of the same mix. Do you think that I should maybe put a little nic in each single flavour to condition them? Is nic much of a contributor to flavour development? I have rather a lot of single flavours mixed up, so don't really want to use up nic if I don't have to but if it would make a noticeable improvement then I would. Thing is, some single flavours don't get used for months at a time and I'm worried that adding nic would lead to a shorter lifespan due to oxidization, or if the opposite is actually true? It might be that I'm so used to my own stuff now that I don't realise how much better it could be.
Anyway, just a ramble. If anyone feels like saying '' what a dumba**!, that's not what you should be doing!'' then feel free by all means.

It's a satire/ parody site, although I wouldn't be surprised that some folks really do think like that.

Apologies if this has been posted before but this was shared on Reddit a while back. It's not a complete, comprehensive list but there is some good info to add to the mixology file. Can never have too much information! Document link

I usually counter snarky comments with '' Oh, really? That's good to know'' whilst taking another drag and nonchalantly and silently maintaining eye contact with them for a few more seconds than is comfortable. Most of the time they will start asking questions, as they now think that you are keeping some secret to yourself.

I was watching a series called The Bridge a while back and noticed that one of the bigwigs in a Mexican drug cartel was puffing away, on what looked like an Evod. I thought that was pretty nifty. My wife, who doesn't smoke or vape, actually saw it first and exclaimed excitedly '' look! he has a thing like your thingy thing!''

Used to be able to get distilled water at Boots reddragon but they don't seem to stock it anymore. Classikool sell it hereAs yourself and lairey suggested, maybe try the vodka option first.
