Mixing is a good way to save kittyvape. If you need some 1ml syringes for your mixing I have 20 on order from ebay (I don't need 20).....I can send you a few if you just pm me your address when they arrive. Second class. No charge I started mixing back in the day with full body armour. plastic apron, plastic gloves the works! Now I don't sweat the odd drop of 70mg/ml on my skin.... If you need VG try this www.boots.com/en/Value-Health-Glycerin-B-P-200ml_852418/If they don't have it in your store you can click and collect (I think it's free post for that)...it's what a lot of us use and perfectly fine  And also get some plastic shot glasses from the pound shop for decanting liquids before mixing though be careful on washing them up as they break easily (I just do a quick rinse and put them on the draining board). Believe they do them in pink as well Something like this - www.poundland.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=shot+glassesHope that helps Jane Wow, thanks Jane.  Very kind of you. And, lol, full body armour ... so glad you said the occasional drop isn't too bad, as I swallowed some (the eGo II spat at me ... straight juice did taste better than the mega awful TH though, lol), the eGo leaked so it was on my hands, then the iStick 50w order's huge glycerine bottle leaked all over the entire order, and, after 10 minutes of wiping up, I noticed the toxic warning. Yay! What an interesting start, lol. Thanks so much about the Boots link (Boots rock) and am loving those colourful short glasses ... trip to Poundland is on the cards, for sure. Thanks. Regarding the spitting bubbling leaking rip-your-throat off things (  ) ... I've clearly ordered far too high mg ... 24mg far too strong, 18mg too strong, 18mg with a dollop of VG too strong ... there's a theme, lol. So, the plan of action is to rinse both the eGo clearomiser (soak for 10 mins in warm water? then let dry naturally?) and try 75% PG and 25% juice ... would this take a 24mg down to 6mg? and, if I did that with an 18mg, it'd be down to around 4.5mg? Will defo read the mixing section as well, as dr00g advised. So superkeen to get to that moment when I can chuck out the ashtrays, tobacco, etc. No idea what voltage's etc I should be doing either, how low I can safely go with the 50w. Mind's a blank basically, lol. Have had to have 2 stinkies, just to reassure my body it's getting some nic. I can only take the tiniest of drags on the 50w, hold it in my mouth, and even then it bites me, lol. I want to be able to do the full lung and smog thing, but without the TH hurting. Drinking lots of water. Love the satisfaction of the high nic, but throat can't take it. Vampire Vape have been brilliant about the order covered in VG. Explained that 2 new trainees hadn't packed it right, will retrain them, and sending me new 500ml VG plus my choice of 2 e-liquids. I've gone for cappuccino and vanilla custard, both at 6mg, which should be far easier to smoke. They've been brilliant. |

That's great about moving down to 18mg! Yes, fascinating to see what happens as try levels out. I've just quickly googled sub ohm, lol, but not drippers yet ... so much to learn. Great that those shifts caused drop to 6mg. I've got glycerin arriving in the order too, as on MSE, in the thread I saw Erme and about this forum in, 'watering down' nicotine with glycerin was mentioned ... how far can you water down a 24mg? I've got some 18mg's on the way too, but would love to be able to use up especially the 24mg cappuccino, without hitting any nic sick. Looking forward to lots of vapour and flavour; more relaxing than nearly passing out trying to get any vapour from an e-cig, lol. Oh dear don't ask me to do the math If you add 2.5ml of VG(vegetable glycerine) to 7.5ml of your 24mg ejuice you should end up with 10ml of 18mg juice, how much that will mute the flavour i don't know, you're probably best off asking in the mixing forum. lol, I laugh too when someone confronts me with maths, usually face straight while my brain does this  ... but no results, haha. Thanks for explaining that so clearly and ref'g me to the mixing forum. The venturing into mixing begins, lol. Got the Cappuccino 24mg from LT, but can see that on JooseJuice you can choose proportions and strength ... so that's that fixed. |

I've been on here about 3.5 years - not a veteran by any stretch of the imagination Also I don't sub-ohm or sqwonk. Sub-ohming has no attraction. I need a decent throat hit - that's about it, but if I mix my PG/VG ratios wrong I get chesty. Interesting balance. Everyone's different on here and we cater for everyone rare in today's societyI duel fuelled for the first 3 months of vaping then went vaping full time September 2011. I'm happy I did it when life was less complicated and we'd just beaten one threat of regulation/banning vaping Now we face another in the form of the TPD (look under promoting on the main page of here) but I am ready  Jane Lordy, what's sqwonk, lol? And, yes, would be very cool if the norm out in the world was about catering to everyone better ... plus regulators had better keep their mits off; they're complete nutters if they don't realise that clamping down would only hurt revenue; they should find their hearts, somewhere in that tin casing, and care about people's health and enjoyment ... now I'm really talking about big and long term change, lol. Sure it can happen. Vaping is such a perfect solution to smoking, and I understand it's only been around for a few years ... amazing what changes can happen, so I'm always optimistic. *fingers*Signed petitions here before even joining, as it's so vital that vaping isn't negatively regulated. Will read up some more too. We'll win; can't keep something that's such a healthy solution down, plus companies must be braindead if they don't see the potentially even bigger revenue from vaping, while not negatively regulating. They need to change their machinery and get on the vaping bandwagon, as it's a way bigger bandwagon than smoking! Newbiness alert, lol ... duel fuel? I only know that as how I used to pay gas and electricity bill, lol haha. |

Glad about the longer charge, that there'll be no 'cartridge run out/battery run out/charging case run out' repeating loads during the day, lol. Cool that you started at 24mg too. Have you stayed at that level? Just received 3 juices, one of them Cappuccino, from LT ... omg, I can't wait to smoke it tomorrow! Am finding I'm getting queasy sometimes, but a Youtube vid [ Electronic Cigarettes 102_What to expect when you stop smoking and start vaping] explained various effects, especially in first few weeks, and said must drink plenty of water, otherwise nausea/headaches, so that's sorted, yay.  No i moved down to 18mg after about 6 weeks but cravings are different for everyone. Once i started sub ohm vaping and using drippers i moved down to 6mg, any higher and i was getting nic sick. I find larger volumes of vapour a more satisfying sensation so had to cut the nicotine down. That's great about moving down to 18mg! Yes, fascinating to see what happens as try levels out.

Welcome kittyvapeI'm sure your new 2,200mAh battery will work out fine. As for ordering a Pink iStick and Subtank... well, let's just say your cravings are going to be under control with that sort of kit. Thanks djs Yes, got quite the range to experiment with, plus am thinking the Pink 50w will be great as an indoors, and the 2200mAh and eShisha Hypernova could be cool for outdoors. eShisha have just blown me away in saying I can trial their Stellar plus sending some 0mg flavours to mix with just purchased 18mg flavours, and more batteries for the Hypernova, so I can safely say the spending is done, lol, and it's time to play! So keen to leave cigarettes behind, and great to know there won't be any more cravings! What kit and flavours/nicotine do you use? |

People on here are absolute stars kittyvape and glad you found us (and apologies for not reading your OP properly  ) You'll get a lot quicker response to your questions on here than MSE and if you want to spend wonga robby is your man (all things china LOL) However if you want to save then Chrissie is your girlie. There is a whole new world out there waiting for your precious pennies! Jane Yes, it's great here! No problem about reading OP; don't worry. Thanks about re questions, and for links (aha, the Fasttech I noticed referred to on MSE)  At this point, I should probably head in the Chrissie direction, lol, but it's great to know all things china are available too. Reading on MSE, the thread was saying about pooled order and can take 20 days or so to arrive? ... wonderful way for everyone to save money, and really plan ahead, to ensure plenty of supplies always. Only just beginning to realise how giant this new world is, lol ... thrilled, and it's great to be here and ask/learn/share, plus there's actually chocolate juice, for real ... lol. When I sampled the e-cig's chocolate cartridge, that was me sold for the rest of this lifetime. To not smoke the stinkies, yet 'smoke' AND taste wonderful chocolate, with no calories ...  It's like some giant Willie Wonka factory just opened up, lol, plus looking forward to having more energy and getting rid of papers, filters (why do they jump onto the floor without you noticing, often?) and tobacco, yay. How long have you been here and vaping? |

Sorry I didn't include the link ... PINK GS eGo II Lumia Edition 2200mAh Rechargeable. Can't find much online about them, but I definitely look forward to much more vapour. Wasn't sure about the hit, so got some 50/50 30mls (incl cappuccino at 24mg) and some smaller samples, which hopefully arrive today ... one or two other percentages in that lot too, lol. Now I'm here, no more random shopping, lol. zrunningamokWhat do you find you use percentage-wise? Ah sorry not the battery i was thinking of, that one will deliver the same power as what you have been using but the charge will last a lot longer, i started at 24mg nicotine. Glad about the longer charge, that there'll be no 'cartridge run out/battery run out/charging case run out' repeating loads during the day, lol. Cool that you started at 24mg too.

kittyvape have I met you on another forum where I have the name 'erme' If so welcome and glad to see you on here Remember on here the only stupid question is the one you don't ask! (it's near enough a forum rule) And also count the stinkies you don't smoke rather than the ones you do! Blessings Jane Hiya, and great to be able to thank you here directly. I replied to you about an hour ago, on MSE, and you were saying about budget and being able to save money. I've got a background 'eek' going on, lol, as I've just done the last cash splashing zrunningamokbut looking forward to years and years of saving money! Thanks about encouragement to ask questions. iStick stuff arrives tomorrow, so it's great to know I can ask anything. Counting those non-stinkies, lol. Peace and light, Cat |

A very warm and hearty AAEC  kittyvape to the forum that just goes on giving. Giving brilliant advice. Giving great help. Giving fantastic support stockings. Giving your wallet a good clear out. Giving your bank manager nightmares.  . In all seriousness you'll find us a great bunch of Guys and Gals. Lol, hiya sydsut and thank you very much for your welcome. Great to be here, appreciate advice, and look forward to knowing stuff, then I can share it, haha. You're right ... going to need to go out busking (earplugs provided), sell on Etsy, and be Ebay's greatest seller, at this rate. |

Wow, 4 times since Christmas! Good you get 2 days out of it. I'd be perfectly happy with that. Just reading up on it, and it certainly looks good, plus the 30W is out, plus have just seen there's an iStick 50w. Getting tempting, lol. What is the usual (and not too pricey) clearomiser that's best to use with it, and how often do you need to replace it? If you find you like the type of vape you get from the eGo One mod then i would suggest the Smok VCT to go with the iStick 30 or iStick 50. myepack.co.uk/clearomizers/smok-vct.htmlThanks for the link. Getting so tempted by that 50W, lol. |
