Is it just me,and my mind,or does anyone think that when you vape lower nicotine it changes the flavour of the juice? I vape 6mg usually, and 3mg when Sub ohming.I tried a 0mg juice that I usually vape at 6mg.And found it did,nt taste the same. when I mix my diy custard I leave the nic out until i'm ready to start using the juice, a couple of them I started without adding the nic to them first and they were a very different taste to the ones with nic added, as soon as I realised they were still zero I added some pg and honestly they tasted the same as the nic based ones, so now half the time i'm ploughing through zero or 3mg nic in my sub ohm kit. I think the difference in taste if just the missing pg amount, normally I use 70% vg but a few times I have mixed at 60% or 50% and it does change the flavour a bit, only thing i wont take at high pg is menthol juice because its way to harsh

so companies like DC will be supplying wholesale products without any problems, only the vape shops will be restricted from a lucrative sector of the market in selling nic base, there is no restriction of sale for non retail purposes down to the 10ml/20mg level ....
maybe then DC's recent expansion is based on this legal loophole and there investment will produce significant returns in the post TPD years ahead of course I expect that such wholesalers will be forced to pay the relevant impending tax values based on their "bulk sales" which will make it only marginally cheaper to DIY mix than to buy a finished product off the shelf, I can see a lot of people starting to own aero grow units for leaf production to then leach into gallons of PG just to avoid the taxes in the future ..... failing that in a similar manner to home brew kits (that don't contain any alcohol and thus avoid the duty rates) there will be a new crystal form of nic that you add to pg or vg and make your own base mix ...... of course that will also spawn a new market in home testing kits (for strength testing) which will all attract nothing more than standard VAT rates .....
and that's totally ignoring the option of going down the dodgy illegal black market supply route that things like class a drugs went down ....

the xtar vc4 charges at up to 2 amps (based on the power supply its connected to) single cell it will sling 2 amps at it, 2 cells it will chuck an amp at each, 3 or 4 and tops out at half amp each, also since it has a usb >power lead you can use it in a car via a fag lighter >usb device or off your pc /laptop or off a proper wall outlet the only difference is the amount of current its drawing. one thing I have noticed with mine is sometimes you have to restart the charger to get it running at full power but that's down to the power outlet rather than the charger I think . They never charge at 2 A according to XTar unless they have been revised, 1 A max www.xtarlight.com/05-chanpin/p-001-1.asp?styleid=340. well the charger I have was drawing 2amps to charge a single 18650 (it says its providing 1 amp to the battery on the display) and took under an hour to charge the battery, normally it will draw a few milliamps more than its delivering in charge current (the usb power outlet I have details what current is being supplied) for instance right now the power draw on the outlet is 2.15 amps charging 2 x sony vc4's at 1 amp each, when it was charging a single vc4 it was pulling the same 2.15amps (nothing else plugged into the power outlet in both cases) yet it will only pull 1.65 amps when charging 3 batteries or 2.15amps when charging 4 batteries, thus I must conclude that it was actually pushing the full 2 amps into the single battery last time (particularly as it was fully charged in under an hour having received around 1650mah) perhaps that's down to being lucky enough to receive a revised box (on startup it displays ver1.03) ive no idea, other than it passed the genuine product verification check online

that's the other thing, I've had two spare tank "glass" arrive, turned out to be Perspex and slightly too small (height) for the tank I ordered them for but with another mill shaved off perfect fit for something else, saved me sending them back and I got a refund for them being the wrong size off the supplier /

I " personally" would doubt the quality of the "contents" of £1 juices I started vaping to avoid dodgy chemicals I would rather buy something from a company that's open and honest about its quality standards, Liquid might not be top of the line but compared to many other producers (that charge far more) they are at least decent enough not to hide what or how they do things, compare that to a certain company that's been exposed as a corner of a dusty garage outfit yet charges premium prices and yeah well horses for courses /

the biggest problem is if its sold in a vape shop then its a vape supply and the Spanish law will take prescedence , so if spain bans cross boarder sales you cant buy from a vape store,
the way round that is to buy from somewhere else like cup cake world (food store) or in the case of VG order from a chemical or cooking supplies store, VG /pg are both legit chemicals for cooking or for homeopathy (like making soap or balms) so again can be obtained (maybe not as cheaply) from none vape sources.
my personal preference for vg + pg is to get them from clasikool (who are a food company) the flavours like anyone I order from a variety of places and the nic from whoever was cheapest when I needed it (might need to order more of that now though)

having taken the survey I would say its geared towards finding a preset answer,
if it was an honest survey then it would of asked a wider range of questions and offered more answer options, I wouldn't really advise anyone else to take it since its clearly going to produce yet another bash vaping /vapers result.

stantoncould you not just use a paint stripper or e-juice that acts like one ? would of thought that would have stripped the coating off in short order without needing you to put in much effort /

yeah its worse than that, they restricted the results to a single state where from 1st of April store owners had to pay the sin tax on e-cigs up front (in order to stock the products) and used previous years based on multi state responses.....
like all "this is doomed" type efforts the figures have been manipulated to fit the narrative, and manipulated even harder given the study was funded by a tobacco company via a market research agency to help them stifle investor potential in competitor products ....
