Tried some of the red astaire last night and love it! Where can i buy at a good price??

Edit: anyone tried the one from bluestar e-liquid? £25 for 500ml

Vaping the Red Astaire as I type - I buy the concentrate direct from them. If you bought it direct originally, watch out for emails as they have reasonably regular sales with up to 1/3 off.

Ok thanks, what do i need to add to the concentrate and how much does it make? And yeah i need the nicotine! About 10mg

You'll need VG and PG base (very cheap from the rainforest) along with the nicotine; I use 72mg strength base - 100ml for £10 - at a concentration of around 3mg.

I order 30ml bottles of the concentrate at £10 and add somewhere between 4ml and 4.5ml per 30ml bottle so one bottle of concentrate would make around 200ml of juice.

I usually wait for a sale before ordering more concentrate and typically get 25% to 33% off.

Edit:

In other news, just bought a Wismec RX200s and an Avocado 24 ... along with a Coil Master kit, some Cotton Bacon, 8 LG batteries, a new charger, some kanthal and stainless steel clapton wire, 15 FlavourArt concentrates, a couple of HIC's recipies and some more syringes and funnels.

Sometimes I look back and think about the changes that have happened in the last 5+ years I've been vaping ... amazing really ... I remember the days of blue foam and constant leakage with no fondness at all.

So to clarify, found a 80/20 1 litre for £10 from the place you suggested, any suggestions from where to get the nicotine?? Also take it i should get some 30ml dropper bottles?? Anything else i need??
Do you weigh liquids or measure in a syringe??

On your RX200 can you check the battery sag(think its called that) as i believe it uses the same chip as whats in my centurion, below 60% it never outputs the wattage set, not sure if thats normal or theres a fault or i need to update the firmware?

I get my nicotine from Vape inc (apparently a 10% discount on at the moment - code is EXIT10). I find the 30ml dropper bottles a good size to carry around. Currently using syringes rather than weighing but may change that as I'm getting a little more adventurous with DIY - syringes for pre-made concentrates will be fine though thick PG can be a bit of a pain to draw up. That's all you will need really.

Re the RX200 - I have the RX200S so not sure whether the issue will be there but will monitor - just received it today.

Going to have to order some more nicotine from Darkstar...I think mine is going off.

My own fault as I keep it (250ml bottle) in a cupboard in the garage and I assume the weather has not helped.
It has now turned a very slight straw colour and has developed a bit of a smell - not a nasty smell though.

Going to go for a 100ml bottle this time which should last another 8 months or more.

Mixed up a 200ml batch of base last night and noticed the nic was a bit funny but used it anyway as I live for danger :p

If it tastes peppery, it's on the turn!

I mix by weight and it's super easy. I'd recommend getting your Nic/PG/VG separately as I find the pre-mixed stuff doesn't work as well. The flavour/consistency will be different for all the different concentrates.

Have a read of this guide from the old thread.

Everything is listed there to get you mixing.

Nicotine suspended in PG can turn a light straw colour and be perfectly fine. As Stevie said above though, mix some with PG/VG but no flavouring. If it tastes peppery, I'd probably replace it.

Thx Gee, but a bit late this time as i ordered some base and concentrate from Les at the juice cabin last night, nearly out so was a bit desperate! I shall try mixing my own next time though, so thx for the info.

Going to update the firmware on this centurion tonight to see if the battery sag improves and also the other modes as they just return to wattage mode and temp does not come into it, joyetech will be getting a call if it stays the same which is a shame as although its my first mod i do like it. If it happens not to resolve the issue with the update what else should i get from them??

Is the Centurion the 26650 mod? If so, what cell are you using with it?
