It's good stuff. Plenty of delicious rum flavour. I was vaping my mix all last night, and stupidly forgot to bring it into work today.
Probably best not to use that vanilla stuff. The sugar could caramelise and kill your atomiser... I think they have two vanilla flavours, it might be worth checking out whichever one you haven't got
They've got a pretty good range of flavours, so I think I'll be trying some more out soon.

'Queen Essence' seems to be the most popular flavour in supermarkets here. I can't find any information on the stuff online. Might have to pop into woolies and have a look at the ingredients.
Got some of this from Franklins yesterday ($1.75 on special for 100ml) 
On the front it says 'Queen finest quality Glycerine'.
The only ingredient listed on the side is: finest quality glycerine
Then is says 'add to icing for a smooth, professional finish. Maintains moistness in fruit cakes and puddings'.
I'm assuming this is the right stuff?

Sydgal, that is what most people on these forums refer to as VG, or Vegetable Glycerine. It's fine to use, but will not have any flavour. The stuff I used was basically just food flavouring.

Four more posts and you'll be able to 
What was the thread called?

Phew!
Had a hard time finding the thread again, but I remembered TropicalBob had said he thought this (the thread) was the most unfortunate thread on the whole of the forum. So I did a search on 'unfortunate' and the thread came up 
Vegetable glycerine (glycerol) - safety discussion

Ahhh, THAT thread...
My understanding of that whole discussion is that there is no real risk involved with VG. But I'm sure you can make up your own mind on that one

Ya, that thread. Really, I think it's just the unknown factor creeping in with me being new and all and wanting to find out everything. That little post (OK, so it's not so little) about acrolein and atomisers heating to blah blah may cause cancer, did have me worried... Yet, I'm quite happy to smoke analogues which are strongly linked to various health problems including cancer. Makes perfect sense really!
