    Where to buy VG & PG in Oz?

    Hi Spirat, The only thing I've found is Queen food flavourings. You can use a few of these, but not all of them. Check the ingredients. If they contain no sugar, and first two listed ingredients are 'water, propylene glycol', then it will be fine to use. I've used chocolate, orange, coconut...

    Where to buy VG & PG in Oz?

    I'm not sure where to get PG, but I get my VG from the local supermarket. It's labelled 'Glycerine'. Find it in the baking supplies section. Brand name is Queens, who also make the flavours I use :) I've decided that I'd rather use PG if I can find some though. The VG is a little to thick, and...

    H1N1 (Swine Flu) and e-cigs?

    Actually, I need to correct myself. The 9.1% referring to Pneumonia and Influenza deaths is actually the percentage of total deaths in the US that are caused by P&I. So I did a little more digging, and found this on the WHO website: WHO | Influenza (Seasonal) So going by these figures...

    H1N1 (Swine Flu) and e-cigs?

    Of the two deaths in the US, one was a 22 month old child, the other was a woman with "chronic underlying health conditions". As for mexico... who knows? There is a statistic I read somewhere that said most infections were in people under 30 (this has been attributed to older people having...

    H1N1 (Swine Flu) and e-cigs?

    Leaford, I agree with pretty much everything you've said except for this. I've looked and looked and haven't found any solid evidence of swine flu being any more virulent or deadly than the common flu. The only figures I've found are from CDC who suggest that the mortality rate in the US is a...

    H1N1 (Swine Flu) and e-cigs?

    For my part, I have to say I became very sceptical of Dr. Mercola's site when I saw his claims that ordinary cookware is poisonous and that only his own branded ceramic cookware is safe to use.

    H1N1 (Swine Flu) and e-cigs?

    Slightly off topic, but I've been down with a common cold for the past week, and am impressed that it has not developed into any kind of infection. Back in my smoking days, I'd have been coughing up all sorts of horrible coloured phlegm with a cold like this. I thank my PG liquid for keeping my...

    Australian ban; Egar illegal

    As far as I know, customs at Australian airports don't have the facilities to test if a substance contains nicotine, so methinks you should be ok. If they ask you what it is, tell them it's just PG/flavouring.

    wow noones tried this? My idea: does it suck?

    I'm thinking that if only the first few puffs are giving a good throat hit, the problem is that the atomiser isn't draining the cart properly. If that's the case, I don't think a bigger cart would solve that particular problem... edit: ahh Strayling beat me to it.

    ?mg Chocolate Rum

    This was my first experiment, the measurements were far from exact, but I was going for about 14mg nicotine. Mixed the following: Approx 2 parts 36mg liquid Approx 2 parts Glycerine 0.5 part chocolate flavour 0.5 part rum flavour. Results: Delicious! But the flavour was a little overbearing...
