OneZeroNyne I have been vaping for almost 2 months (ny anniversary on Tuesday) and I still get a coughing fit if I try a direct lung inhale. You just need to find what works for you and you will find it fairly quickly. Just watch out for the dreaded shinyitis

Hi Folks, I thought I would share the fun I have had with my first week of mixology. OK so I had a play about mixing nic base to see what the actual base tasted like and trying different PG/VG mixes for the best vapour production/TH for me Now then, me being an impatient so and so I knew I wouldn't be happy waiting too long for steeping so I picked single flavour fruit flavours to get my hand in so to speak My first ever mix was black cherry. It was ok but a bit weak on flavour but hey, it's better to be a bit weak than taste like soap right? A little twiddling and a bit of adding up and BOOM My first yummy juice My second attempt was blackberry. Not really happy with this, have put it at the back of my drawer to see if time will work some magic Next up I thought I would have a bash at Menthol (You probably saw my thread asking about mixing concentrate from crystals) After a bit of mucking around I have a Delish menthol concoction which does not hurt my plastic tanks To be honest I forgot about menthol being a tank cracker and just filled one up The next morning I woke up and my first thought was SH!T MY TANK!!! (how sad is that?) but it was ok and still is ok next I thought I would have a go at honey coconut. My first offering to the great god Kitchen Sink. I went WAAAY too heavy with the honey. It tasted like lemon fairy with a hint of coconut Which brings me to today's attempt. Coconut & Pineapple ice cream. Smells pretty strong on the pineapple but time will tell. So when you all started mixing more than single flavours how long did it take to get something decent? Well thats me out of bottles now. Time for a bit of postie stalking

Sorry to have gotten you all excited. It's just that my istick has arrived, and it's beautiful and lovely and great. That is all.

Hi everybody, I would like to share some of my own personal thoughts and opinions on some of the flavours I have tried. Please let me know if you found this helpful. I might be tempted to do some more. Firstly You need to bear in mind that taste is a subjective thing, just because I like or dislike something it doesn't follow that you will feel the same. So this review is for the 4 new 'Arctic' flavours that have recently been added to the range of Grizwalds Gourmet Recipes available from Vape EscapeGrizwalds Gourmet E-Liquid is mixed to order so it is important to allow time for it to steep. The website recommends 24-48 hours but some need longer. Trust me you will be really glad you did give this juice time They are all 70/30 PG/VG and are available in 5ml samples at 20mg nic for £2.79 or in 30ml bottles at any strength nic for £12.99 Don't forget that AAE-C members can get a 10% discount at the checkout by using voucher code allabout. Arctic MelonThis is probably the best melon flavour I have ever tried. It had just the right amount of melon flavour on the inhale and a great icy exhale. This is a great juice for putting you in mind of hot, lazy summer afternoons, lounging around with your favourite book and a long cool drink. I think this is going to be my summer vape. Arctic AppleThis is an incredible tasting juice. I am sooo going to order some of this! I put it to steep in my cupboard and every time I went past it I could smell rich, juicy apple aroma. I just couldn’t wait with this juice I was vaping it after just a few hours and I wasn’t disappointed. Even fresh this juice had a wonderful realistic apple juice taste that was just the right combination of sweet and tart. The Minty menthol on the exhale was a great finish to the experience. Beautifully cooling and refreshing. After a little while steeping it was even better, smoother apple, less like juice more like a real crunchy red apple. Arctic PearThis juice smells just like juicy conference pears. After steeping for 48 hours there isn’t much taste of pear but there is a cool menthol taste on exhale. I will try giving this juice a little longer to steep. Arctic OrangeI really didn’t like this juice, it was very orangey smelling and had a strong orange taste on the inhale. Not too sweet or bitter and I can imagine lots of people liking this. My problem is that I have never found an orange flavour that I actually like. I love oranges and OJ but every flavour I try just tastes artificial to me. That’s just me. Arctic PeachThis is another good juice. A lovely peachy taste on the inhale and great menthol exhale. It tastes more like tinned peaches than fresh peaches but I like that. It isn’t too sweet and has no artificial tang at all. Looks like another juice on my ‘must have’ list I HATE YOU GRIZWALD!!! Now I have to spend even more money on your juice icon_shoppingm

Ok this is just my thoughts and not confirmed.
When the vision spinner II batteries are charging they have a 'heartbeat' i.e. the charger flashes green every 5 seconds. so I think that some chargers get a bit confused with this 'heartbeat' and think that the battery is actually fully charged when it is only around 50%.
I have 2 chargers and 2 spinner batteries. The stopping halfway nonsense only happens on one of the chargers and with one of the batteries more than the other.
I don't have the kit at home to prove my theory and TBH I am too busy in work to mess round to check it out.

Err no Ive just been informed your missing flavour was posted out on 28th Oct by 2nd Class Royal Mail, so maybe I was a little hasty expecting it to be with you by this morning.... Hopefully you should have it by tomorrow ....please do let me know either way ....Regards Sarah Hi Sarah, Sorry I haven't posted earlier but I have been out. I received the missing bottle today so all is good and I am a happy bunny. Thanks Also I think I know why it took so long (It was sent 1st class) There was a Royal mail label on the package saying checked by Revenue Protection, Home Counties North whatever that means

rughead121 If you have mixed, dissolved the menthol crystals as recommended, I suggest you use VERY sparingly.... it is a strong Concentrate, very little is needed. As said many times here... You can always add a bit more, but difficult to take it away!
You may want to add a dash or two of other flavouring(s) to smooth it, like cool mint, peppermint, spearmint, ethyl maltol, etc. Kev
Thanks for that Frogster (The Alchemist) I was just about to use it at 5%. I think maybe I will use a bit less

VE Jason hi could you tell me more about the grizwalds gourmet range? Any reviews on the tobacco range? Cheers Personally I don't much like any tobacco flavour ( Pretty strange for an ex 30 a day smoker) Having said that lots of people absolutely swear by Black Cat linkA friend of mine swears by the GY4 blend linkI tried the honey tobacco, I didn't like it but that's just me. The gourmet recipes have some great flavours in them. Personally I can't be without a bottle of Cocomel link and there are a whole new bunch of Arctic fruit flavours just released if that's your thing. The thing about Grizwalds recipes is they are mixed to order so they need to steep a while before you get the best taste. I bought a sample of peanut butter and tried it as soon as it arrived but I left it to steep for 2 weeks and it is now luverly and will probably be on my next order.

Good evening Peeps, I have done one or two single flavour mixes with varying success (I am hoping a good steep might improve some) OK My Main question is this. I use a LOT of menthol juice and I am obviously pretty keen to have a crack at mixing my own. So I have followed Frogster (The Alchemist) tutorial for mixing your own menthol concentrate from crystals Here The result smells like it could strip paint at 30 yards so where would you guys think would be a good starting point for this witches brew? Should I be looking at 2-3% or more like 10-20%?
