50/50 works out at 13mg I think. Say you mixed 10 mls of each that is 180mg + 80mg total nicotine you have 20 mls so working out 1mls worth divide by 20.
I vape between 2-5mls depending on the day. I'm vaping mostly 18mg juice right now. I mix my own so change the mg to the level I'm feeling. I like 24mg in the morning and at night. 18 most of the rest of the time but I sometimes use 14 during the day. I was a chain smoker and I'm now a chain vaper.
It is worth remembering that fags don't have the mg stated on them in them they have more. The mg per fag is what they have worked out that you absorb. There is also debate over if the nicotine in fags is freebase when it is burnt (making it more powerful) and if the other alkaloids in tobacco are part of the addiction.
Unless you are trying to quit nicotine then the mg doesn't really matter all that matters is it is the right amount for you. Your body will tell you long before you OD that you are using to much or too little.
TH seems to be almost as important as nicotine. You can up TH with more nicotine, more heat and something like 'biteextra' which is adding capsicum.

Hicks looking at your sig your going to be saving a fortuneNice one ;O
Thanks
It was hard for the first 5 days, but I'm not really thinking about it anymore so I'm over the moon. I smoked for about 23 years previously and it ranged from 20 to 60 a day depending on if I was out drinking etc.
The saving is based on 25 a day which was rolling tobacco. I'll have to start monitoring how many mils I'm getting through now though as I'm starting to ramp up the vaping as I find nice flavours
Tried the cherry cigar earlier with a bit of red energy left in it (Made for an interesting flavour) It's coming through properly now and it's quite nice but not an all day vape for sure.
Deuse, Devrij, Hicks, thanks a lot for the link and advice, will order that as soon as I will get home. Hopefully will at least cut down on smoking with this one, but it was the first smoking free shift for me and I did manage to stay same without smoking lol.

ive just got some grants vanilla custard 100 Vg on sat, tried it today and theres no throat hit at all so its very unsatisfying, tastes nice though, gonna be sticking with 50pg 50vg from now on.
If you want to make it yourself Devrij I've heard it is just the custard from Capella with 2% (of 10%ish in PG) of ethyl maltol. I can't say if that is true or not but lots of people have been working on it. I'm not a real believer in steeping but have heard that this (and the pre made) need a good week to be even vapable.

Ordered a Vamo last night, does anyone know the best place online to get a nova? And has anyone had a problem with the drip tip coming off in their pocket? That's the only thing I'm worried about!
You can specify steeped or not when you buy. It comes with a nice letter with some handwritten parts which I thought was a nice touch. This one was steeped for 14 days already.
50/50 18mg. I would be happy with a slightly stronger taste tbh.
Picture was taken with a potato so sorry about that

Vapourhut do the novas (under a different name, but they are still the vivi nova) very cheaply.

Whats the official word on buying/selling e-cig stuff here ?
Rules are no selling outside of members market if I remember right. So a no I believe. I'd need to read the forum rules again to be 100% sure.
Edit: I can't find a rule covering it but I'm sure I've read it before. Maybe a mod will come along and answer it one way or the other.

Cool little trick for you DIY guys or for unsteeped liquids: using a (closed) glass container, sit the liquid in a pan of hot/boiled water (enough to mostly submerge it) for a few minutes, give it a shake, soak some more, and let cool. Instant steeping! Try it, it's sick.
Do you mean, stick the liquid in a jar or something (not in one of the plastic containers)?

It tried that method yonks ago with some Absinthe that needed extra steeping, never did anything to that, might of worked better if i had mixed it myself from day 1, next week my DIY mixing kit arrives, so ill do some samples and try it again.
