Decided to try mixing my own. I've got the PG, VG and Nic base orders done but looking for tips on the rest.

What must have equipment should i get ie Syringes (sizes?), beakers etc?

I already have loads of 10,30 and 50ml bottles but only have a couple of 100ml ones, where can i buy decent 100ml ones with needle tips?

I need some suggestions for concentrates, ideally a nice creamy custard flavour and perhaps something fruity that doesn't need much steeping time so i can try my handywork while waiting on custard steeping. Not looking for recipes that use 100 different flavours, i'll get into that eventually.

If it's small batches, I'd get a couple of 1ml, 2ml, 5ml and 10ml.
For bigger batches, you might want to get some "Oxo Good Grips Measuring Beakers". They're not entirely accurate but good enough.

You'll also need some needles for the syringes. I can't remember the gauge I have but the ones with the green at the top of them work for most liquids.

The only problem you'll have with needles is when you're trying to syringe VG or VG based nicotine, since it's so thick and gloopy. I use a bit of fish tank air stone tubing on the end of the syringe for VG and VG based nicotine.

Funnels also come in handy for filling your bottles if you're not putting the syringe directly into the bottles:

Ta, ordered 2 of each of the syringe sizes you mentioned, a pack of 14g needles, some gloves and the beakers.

I'm looking at some of the recipes on here and some mention 'EM', is it this? it mentioned it comes premixed so i assume liquid but the picture is powder. Also, where else can i buy it as Chef's Vapour is out of stock.
 
Cheers, managed to order some from Vapable. Just need concentrates now, Paypal are playing funny beggars atm and supposedly "experiencing technical difficulties with our credit card processor" so will try buying them again later.
 
Hi guys

Im trying to persuade my g/f to come off the fags and go on to e-cigs. Part of that deal is that id get her started with a basic.

I know nothing about this stuff but im looking at these 2 kits

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Aspire-Starter-consisting-Glassomizer-G-Power/dp/B00NSYAH9E

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Genuine-EMO...e&ie=UTF8&qid=1440058366&sr=1-1&keywords=emow

Any thoughts on these 2?

The aspire has a smaller battery but ive heard about battery failures on the kanger

Alternatively is it worth spending a bit more on sub-ohm (whatever that is)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Aspire-Atla...im_121_14?ie=UTF8&refRID=15EK9DMSERA3QG0Y4CXS

Ive never even smoked myself so this is completely new to me, she currently smokes roll ups from a green packet if that helps

I wouldn't buy her anything for sub-ohm for her first kit, it's not like smoking at all as they tend to need you to inhale directly into your lungs (lung hit) instead of drawing into your mouth then breathing in (mouth to lung) like smoking.
 
Normally i'd suggest getting her a nautilus mini for the tank and an eleaf istick for the mod to start off with but it's been a while since i looked at that end of gear and new stuff comes out all the time.
 
New toy... let the vaping commence :)

Nexus, buy a cheap set of digital scales, don't waste time trying to mix with beakers and syringes. By weight is so much less hassle and mess

Now you say! Already ordered everything earlier :mad::p They were dirt cheap though so no big loss.

Looking at a calculator i may have went overboard with the Nicotine base, bought 2L of PG, VG and Nic Base and the calcs are saying only ~4ml nic for 3mg for 100ml juice. oops :p

Scales are worth every penny. The difference is using 8 syringes for an average recipe vs being able to mix 3/4 different recipes on 3 syringes
 
Hey all, haven't been around recently :(

Busy with work mainly! But also I am very happy with my two setups so try to avoid temptation. ;)

However, payday is upon me tomorrow, might try dripping again, any RDAs people recommend?
 
Mmmm, Ringmaster and Mums Custard, two of my favourite vapes. :)

Wasn't a fan of The King mind you...

Little tip, Digbys get a lot better with age. ;)
 
Totally agree with you, particularly with Mum's Custard. Thought it was vile originally, but left it for a week and it turned into a great vape.

The King was an instant hit however, bannana on the inhale and unmistakeable peanut butter on the exhale. Really works well.

Not tried The Ringmaster yet, but I've got high hopes. The star of that lot for me as the Apple and Cinnamon, common or garden flavour these days but a great all dayer.
 
The only flavor i managed to taste was heinsburg from vampire vape and only was menthol nothing else.

I bought rhubarb and custard from them too, tasted it for 2 puffs then nothing ever again.

Tried cleaning the bottom part with the air hole as usually that i thought was the issue if not the coil. But im running out of patients with this tank and battery setup. I got far more taste from my evod. Till that had problems.

Is there nothing out there that never dies or loses flavor after a hit or two. Sick of just puffing in tasteless stuff i might as well just just get no taste stuff and save money...

Seriously how on earth ppl can say that the nautilus tank is any good for flav, its good for blowing smoke but nothing on flav. Tried 6mg, 50,50 stuff 60pg 40 vg (vampire vape stuff). I tasted somit for 2 puffs when new coil and new bottle of somit new then nothing NOTHING just puffing tasteless vape. Not fun, not what i wanted.

Bought a 5 pack of coils a week ago, 1 coil was only good rest were meh 1 was chemical tasting. Bought now from diff place hoping it might be bad batch of coils, this time i went and got em from vaporlites which is a authorised dealer for aspire products so hopefully good stuff.

Bought VVapes pinkman and strawberry milkshake.

Better taste of somit this time if not im selling the lot and probably just go back to cigs as im sick of nothing tasting of what it smells like in bottles or taste it for first few puffs then nothing ever from that even with new coils. Due to washing everything a few days ago and my evods im gona test a juice in evod and naut to compare if i can, i have 1 last evod coil in a pack left and 5 new naut coils coming tomorrow or the next day. I dont expect miracles.

Bought a 10 pk of cigs other day too cos i had no vape stuff. Didnt like em one bit but i was fidgety without something so bought some cigs, first pack since i started vaping. :( Tempted to get another today but im gona try not to. Dont work so money is tight for this stuff and cant just spend loads of vaping then in the end get a pack of cigs. :(

Grr...

Great idea start buying really expensive fags again and start smoking when you have no job/money.

My nautilus gave plenty of flavour and still does. Custards and the likes you will need to steep them for a minimum of a month to get the flavour through, I find a lot of fruit flavours which are good to vape straight away are subtle in flavour anyway

Id rather something taste of nothing than it taste like a badgers ********
