When you say "no sense of enjoyment or fulfilment" what do you mean?
Are you not getting throat hit, nicotine rush, satisfactory draw when you inhale that you normally get with cigarettes?

Further to your questions, it might be to do with other chemicals in real tobacco, plus rollup tobacco being unfiltered and stronger. Which might mean high strength nicotine requirement (for me and possibly other ex-rollup users). This guy says,

"I used to roll my own Golden virginia and go through about 1/2 ounce per day and i can happily use 2-3ml of 36mg per day. Strange thing is, if I have an occasional roll-up, which I do, my head spins like the first time I had a ciggie.
I guess that's all the other nasty chemicals giving me the buzz rather than the nic alone."

That's a bit worrying, because I thought all the rush I get was from the nicotine alone, and I'm obviously trying to get away from the tar and other chemicals in tobacco. Anyway, I'll see.

Google brings up flue cured tobacco bm2 from vapourworld.co.uk

Actually, I nearly ordered that from myepack. Well don't know if was BM2, but it was called flue cured. No idea what flu cured is meant to be like though. But I ended up buying two others, one of which is meant to be like Drum tobacco and the other like Golden Virginia I think.
10ml Beat Blend 18mg
10ml Veronica Gold 24mg

Do you get charged import VAT / duty etc. on fasttech orders?

depends on the value of the order

Also received my Snake Oil today and just in time as mine ran out earlier this week :eek:

There is a reason why Snake Oil is running away with the votes on the UKV 2013 Best Juice Award, not only because Simon's ejuice is fantastic but because of those fizzy snakes :p

Well we were ****ed :mad:


-The liquid may not contain more than 20mg/ml nicotine.

If you think this does not concern you because you vape less than 20mg/ml think again, this level will gradually get lower and lower.

-In case a national competent authority finds evidence that specific electronic cigarette
products or refill containers present a serious risk to human health, it can take appropriate measures and communicate that to the Commission and other Member States.

The Commission will then assess the evidence and justifications. If such measures are taken in three or more Member States (who apply the TPD to e-cigs and not pharma legislation), the Commission will be empowered to extend these measures to products in all Member States. But this could then be blocked by a majority of MEPs in the European Parliament.

Bet they will find the excuse that refillable tanks are dangerous to kids

Why will it get lower and lower, how do you know?

They'll probably argue that but it doesn't stand up... I know I'm preaching to the choir but there are a myriad of other dangerous products out there, caffeine pills seem the most similar and you can easily pick up enough of them to overdose on from Boots.

I haven't been into vaping that long so haven't really been following this but it didn't seem very long ago that people were thinking all e-juice would be banned/medically regulated, so from reading the link you provided it actually seems that it's going in a fairly decent direction now.
 
I would like to thank everyone here who helped me get started and showed me how to make my own juice
as I haven't had a cigarette since march and no way am I going back to smoking cigarettes again :)
 
So finally got round to micro coiling my gp spheroid with a 1.5ohm coil and cotton wick and have to say compared to the same coil i have in my KFL, its not as good as in vapour production but the taste seems to be a tad better imho.
Because its a steel tank, it gets pretty hot after a few hard pulls on it which i imagine is normal??.

Got it stuck on my GP paps x but looks kinda weird as the mod is quite a bit wider whereas the spheroid is a lot more thinner. Different look i have to say and doesnt look too bad in all honesty. One thing i do like about it is that no matter what position you have the spheroid in, it just will not leak unless you overfill the material thats inside the tank.

Anyone who uses a spheroid with a cotton micro coil, any tips on how to get a better throat hit and more vapour coming from it??.

The way I see it... The EU policies have nothing to do with public health (maybe 10% health, 90% money), they are designed to give the whole ecig market back to the tobacco companies and also allow the government to tax the ecigs the same as tobacco. Hopefully it will work out OK or at least still be possible to make DIY juices. If it does all go ahead then it is appaling frankly.
 
Couple of questions. I made an order recently for 30ml from Joose Juice, which is really nice, but it cost more than me ordering 3x 10ml samples (I did not see them till after it had arrived).

Whats to stop one ordering a shed load of samples all of the same, or do they not allow it?

Also, I read on here that they need to be steeped and someone mentioned steeping them with the lid off. I am going to order some different types to try them out but is lid off the best way?
 
Joose Juice do buy one get one free on 30ml bottles. Their marketing sucks though

BTW I bought pretty much all of their samples in one order

That figures. I got two bottles which both said 30ml but they looked a little smaller than the Dekang ones. I thought I just got lucky. :D

That is a very good price.
 
R.E. the steeping, a week in a cool dark cupboard with the lid and dropper off will do. You might notice a dramatic colour change with some juices!

Exactly - 60ml for £10.25 delivered is about the cheapest (UK made) I've found. I imagine the reason for not shouting about the BOGOF on the site is so it's kept a "secret" - if they shout too loudly about it, other sites may bring their prices in line, or worse (for Joose) undercut him, effectively removing his USP...
His average buyer is obviously after decent, non-Chinese imported tat, but without paying the extra premium for Snake Oil, 8bit Vape or the like.

He's found a niche and good for him - the market is seemingly swamped with "Garden Shed Mixologists", so finding a good one takes a lot of "Drain-Perfume" testing :D
 
Newly heard about this Vaping thing. It is similar to an E-Cig? I smoke roll ups mainly. Does it work the same as E-Cigs or is it a ton more complicated?

It is the same, just better. E-cigs that looks like cigs are poor compared to the satisfaction of a proper vaping tool.

They are very easy to run and maintain in the whole. Get yourself a proper decent starter kit that does not look like a cigarette. :)
