Thanks Dave; I recon I use about 8ml a day at 10mg and say 10% flavouring (actually that is the total of my and a mate I mix for consumption) I have 4l of 72mg in the freezer. I have come up with about 9 years assuming no drunken spillage; but that still sounds a tad optimistic to me. (Actually me living another 9 years may be optimistic for all I know)

So these stickers are nothing to do with the TPD?

It is worse than that because the maximum nic strength will be 20mg/ml or 2%. Will make mixing as we know it pointless As you say, pretty pointless. 1 10ml bottle would give you a mix of 66.7ml @ 3 mg/ml or 16.7ml @ 12 mg/ml... talk about being screwed to the floor! Jim Or to put it another way; From one 250ml bottle of 72mg I can make 1800ml of e-juice at 10mg (1% nic) with 10% flavouring. Using the TPD compliant 10ml *18mg nic base limit I would need about 100 tiny bottles of the stuff to make the same amount of e-juice. It is an environmental disaster apart from a vaping one. *It will probably be 18mg rather than 20mg as retailers will want to play safe with compliancy.

I'm going to buy my apocalypse supplies this week - I know I've left it late I'm very tempted by the the tmbnotes premixed base which is £15.99 for a litre of 6mg @ 70/30 I may have my calculations wrong (feel free to check them lol) but I like strong flavours so I tend to bung 30ml of one shot into 70 ml of 70/30 6mg and that does me a 100ml of whatever I want and I don't really care what vg/pg or nic % that actually ends up being, it suits me. I thiiiink I'm getting through about 100 ml juice a month its hard to be totally accurate as I have 4 or 5 different flavours on the go at the same time but that seems close enough, so by my calculations with the premix I'd get roughly 14 x 100ml from a litre of premixed. Could anyone tell me how many I'd get from 500ml of pure 7.2 nicotine?Just remembered I have the vapocalpse calculator so worked it out myself lol hmmmm must be doing summat wrong somewhere according to the calculator 500ml pure nic @6% vaping 14.2 ml a day would last me 1.15 years as compared to the 14 months the premix would give me kinda makes it about the same then however the premix would cost me £15.99 whereas the pure nic would cost me £27.50 and I'd need to buy pg & vg on top (not including glass bottle costs as the'd be the same no matter what option). Have I got that right? Cos that seems a no brainer to me the premix is my better option. I get 6liters or 60 100ml bottles- 5years supply at 100ml a month or 13-14 months at 14.ml a day. 500ml of the 6mg premix with 30% flavouring would give you 715ml of ejuice or 50 days at 14.2ml a day (based on a sum I just did on a piece of paper with a pencil) so could be wrong. Edit I am wrong I forgot the dilution by the flavouring that postmodern below has included. So even more ejuice.

Only in 10 ml bottle, IIRC it is worse in that after 20th Nov only existing stock of larger sizes can be sold, before 20th Nov you can get what you always could. Forgive my ignorance of the detail of your TPD. After the TPD's introduction and after existing stocks run out, am I right in understanding that you guys will be limited to buying juice/nic (ready to vape or "nic base") in max bottle sizes of 10 ml? Ten ml max? In your position, aside from stocking up before then, I'd be ...... errr, no. I ought not say nor encourage law breaking ought I? It is worse than that because the maximum nic strength will be 20mg/l or 2%. Will make mixing as we know it pointless, unless we have stocks or,,,,

Just a quick preliminary calculation; subject to being totally wrong but at such a low PG % I reckon that if you buy pg base nic base you just need to add vg to it.
83% VG mixed with 17% PG based 72mg nic base.
You will end up with less than 12mg ejuice when you add the flavouring but presumably you already end up with something less than 12 mg.

My advice would be get a supply of 72mg (7.2%) nicotine base in ASAP. Darkstar and everything liquid are reliable sources.

Using precisely the little 10ml bottle which will be the only legal size for ejuice after TPD. Ron beat me to it.

.... Knowing what a life saver vaping is I guess a lot of us would like to turn our friends and family but it is not easy; people get paid for doing it and they usually fail. Better luck next time mate. Thank you. Yes - it would be nice to get all those smokers we know to swap over wouldn't it? But I find ya gotta carefully tread that fine line between being helpful/informative and being seen as a pro-vaping zealot who most would rather avoid. Absolutely right. It was not my main job but I did some counseling training years ago and one rule I remember is the person has to take the decisions and the responsibility for any change themselves. If you do too much of the work the change becomes something you 'own' not them. I never talk about vaping to non-vapers unless they ask me. Fortunately among my circle of f&f there are only a few smokers left; I just make sure I vape with a satisfied smile on my face whenever I see them smoking. They probably just think smug ******* though.

That was a bust. Our friend has had second thoughts and called it off. Apparently the maintenance required has put her off the whole deal. She's saying she'll now do the "reduce the number smoked little by little" thing.... Disappointing - but what can you do except be supportive if and when she needs help? Ah, well. *sigh* At least I'll have fresh coils here ready for the next time - either for this person or someone else. But well done for trying Dave. I have converted one friend who is not a natural vaper but unlike in your case she just lives 100yards up the road. I mix all her ejuice, change her coils and buy all her kit. Bit difficult to do unless you see someone very often. I have also given a relative who wants to quit a whole outfit but not had any progress reports I suspect that like your friend he sees it as all too much faff. Knowing what a life saver vaping is I guess a lot of us would like to turn our friends and family but it is not easy; people get paid for doing it and they usually fail. Better luck next time mate.

I thought it was Pay Pal who are refusing to process payments for any Aspire products.
