E-juice recommendations??

GreasyDiablo88 · 10 Aug 2014 at 13:56

Hi all!

Just wondered if any vapers could recommend some (UK based) e-juices. I usually get my stuff from Avant Garde but was looking to try something new and thought I'd ask on here to find out what you guys are enjoying vaping at the moment.

Just thought I'd also mention that I use nicotine free juices as I know some companies only go as low as 3mg.

Cheers!

I just received some Mum's Custard from Digbys this week. If you like desert type juices you'll love it. Smells awesome too.

Griswalds juices from http://www.vapeescape.co.uk/ are very nice.
Strawberry ice cream is great.

Always arrives fast aswell.

As an ex smoker and current vaper I find it baffling that people vape nicotine free liquid. What's the point of inhaling vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol with flavouring in? Its a substitute for cigarettes that's why I do it to keep of the stinkies. Each to their own of course just puzzled by it.

I started off on 18mg and have worked my way down to 0mg over a period of time. I've given myself til the end of the year to quit vaping altogether

I'll definitely take a look at it. I'm a big fan of the custard flavours so it's right up my street

I've currently got a bottle of Grant's and a bottle of Avant Garde's VC to get through aswell so I'll probably just pick up a 10ml bottle if I decide to go for it

As someone that vapes 0mg. Why are you not working down to 0mg? That must be a lot more puzzling? Do you not what to get off the nic completely?

Make you own. It is cheaper and surprisingly easy to do, even more so if you are vaping 0mg nic.

I'm relatively new to vaping. I'd like to make my own juice but I'm paranoid that it'll turn out pants and be a waste of time and money. Is it possible to make your own juice that's as good as store bought ? Can you recommend a link to get me started ?

I did look into making my own but don't really have time (or patience for the matter) to go through with it. Besides, if I'm going to be cutting down on vaping in the next few months there isn't really much point in me going through the motions of making my own. Thanks for the suggestion though

I'm a newbie at mixing too. This place would be a good place for advice.

Lots of people on there with more experience at mixing who will be able to help you.

Thanks. I'll take at look at that.

i bought some cheap stuff from a local indian shop, never again my tounge went yellow and had sore gums, im buying from vapoing generations at the mo and there pretty good

I've been mixing my own for a while now. It's very easy and WAYYYYY cheaper.

WAYYYYYYY(An extra 2 y's) easy with 0nic. Just VG, PG, Flavour.

VG from boots (£2.38 for 400ml)

PG online

Concentrate online (Chefs vapour etc.)

Say you get something like energy drink, for a 50/50 mix pg/vg + flavour you just do.

4.5ml PG
4.5ml VG
1ml Flavour

There you have 10ml of 0mg juice read to vape (After a shake)

And if you a dripping and like to blow clouds.

Go to boots, buy the VG, get some flavourings. And a little flavour to a 10ml bottle of VG and cloud away.

Depends what you want really. The main stuff I make is 70VG 30PG, and I also have a load of max VG for when at home and feel like blowing some clouds.

The mixing calc on there is what I use. There are some stickied guides you might find useful.

I started with one of these kits

http://www.thealchemistscupboard.co.uk/product/mixing kit

Just to save messing around but it will be cheaper if you shop around e.g. VG from Boots etc.

It's a learning curve. You could start off making up some 5ml or 10ml testers of stand alone/ single flavours to see if you like them then taking it from there.

I didn't realise it was THAT cheap! Any links for PG/flavours from UK based sites?

Sliver · 10 Aug 2014 at 16:49

Cheers Redz. Saved those links in my browser. I have a few bought juices to vape through at the moment, but that starter kit looks like the way forward.

Tmax Snake Oil, nothing comes close imo.

+1 on way cheaper.

I have a 30ml bottle of liquid in front of me. It cost me £1.29 to make and would have been even cheaper if I had bothered to shop around a bit more.
