if I'm going vg heavy would you get Nic vg? Not necessarily. I believe some heavy VG users deliberately buy PG based nic (and flavourings perhaps) and then just add VG. This simple calculator allows you to specify what base your nic/flavourings is using; www.ejuicelab.co.uk/calculator.htmlHigh VG results in very thick e-juice. Some people add very small amounts of distilled water to make it wickable. (Other advice is available I aim at about 50/50 VG/ PG so I am not speaking from experience of very high VG mixes)

were would be best place to buy all the things required to mix your own? Actually all you really need are some empty bottles (child proof if have children) and something to measure fluids in. I just use a measuring cylinder (£1.69) from Creme Supplies www.creamsupplies.co.uk/academy-glass-measuring-cylinder-100mlPlus some nicotine base from say Darkstar or everything liquid (others will suggest other retailers) some PG; Some VG (from same place you get the nic probably) and some flavouring; numerous places to get those including the nic suppliers already mentioned.

Yes! Although I bought them and my husband then paid my back as he wouldn't know what I like... I've got am sbody macro dna75 ams goblin mini v3 and new siam mods driptip. I'll set it up tomorrow and photo my new baby setup More or less what me and my wife do; only the other way round obviously. Quite a few bits and pieces includiing a LV Therion 75 which I love to bits but what has really changed my life is a largish Coilmaster case from FT which now contains all my coiling and wicking tools/materials. Used to hunt through different boxes now just unzip this thing and it is all there. Actually I could not wait till the 25th and got her to give me the lot on my 70th the week before. I hate deferred gratification; especially mine.

Assuming that the company that "is shut until the 5th" is CdeV, I think you can be assured that the AW batteries are genuine and you are just unfortunate that you have received a faulty product. CdeV are a very reputable company and I am sure that when you make them aware of the unfortunate incident after the Christmas break, they will compensate you fully. I don't think that involving PayPal would be helpful at this early stage until you have spoken with CdeV (if indeed they are the vendor). Would second that @yinyang. If it is CdeV we are talking about probably the most trusted and reliable retailer in the country.

I'm looking for ideas of how we persuade all retailers to always add a free plastic case with every battery sold. ceedee Perhaps if people only bought from those who do. I only buy batteries from TorchtheBatteryBoy and his have always come in a box. The sleeves cost less than 50p retail no doubt retailers could get them bulk for much less. www.fasttech.com/products/0/10011148/5200800-18650-battery-protective-silicone-sleeve-case-5Some half wit will still manage to lose them but it could well cut down on these events to the benefit of all of us including the battery sellers.

It is already the case that retailers can only sell bulk 72 nic base that they already have in stock. It will be totally banned for retail sale from May 17. After that it is 10ml bottles of 20mg/ml. Mixing a liter will not be fun or as cheap. Your 2L will sadly not last long if you are sharing it around. I have 5L in the frezzer just for me and one friend. & I will be getting more.
edit as blaster says it will in practice probably be 18mg to give retailers a margin of error. The law says 20mg.

I personally would take a average of them all say 4mg do the mix with this in the calculator BUT leave the nic out then just add what they want when needed say 3 mg then just add that amount of nic if 5mg then add that amount its not going to be far out by doing it that way. Most if any people will not tell any difference just make sure you dont use all your nic stock up on others keep plenty back for your self mate. Well that is the thing if you are making up liters of juice at a time for a number of people you need to start stocking up a lot of 72mg/ml (7.2%) nicotine base will it can still be purchased in the UK.

Thanks for that.
Interestingly the one thing I was toying with the idea of buying was a second Lost Vape Therion as I like the one I have very much. In fact I put one in my cart last week at $96.44. Looking today the price has shot up to $129! Have not checked to see if there has been other price rises or if this was a one off.

charliehorse as you appear to be still alive it is probably not 100%
Its not my nic base that's the problem Richard46 - Tease-smiley ......... just my stupidity
Sorry charliehorse I lost the thread (again) On the bright side nicotine can help with confusion and memory loss (according to some) so perhaps there is hope for us.
