    Great news for the UK

    I think you'll find it's Do nothing until spring 2013 My interpretation is that they've opted for option 2, and are thinking about it a great deal before doing anything. MLXs: Medicines consultation letters : MHRA

    Why am i an idiot!!

    Stick with it Shan. I smoked 40 a day for 50 years and I swapped over with no real problem. That was over a year ago, just before Christmas 2008. My lungs were shot, but have improved a lot since I quit. Just use a good strong juice and you'll be getting more nicotine than you did with fags...

    just got kiss box first impressions

    Absolutely right, Kate. I've been using the KB for three months now and I'm still learning new things about it. The cart and the wicking are crucial. but when you get used to it, it's fantastic. I ain't think of changing.

    Extending cartridge life.

    I’m using a Janty Kissbox, but this should work with all cartridges, I’m a heavy vapour and top up my cartridges frequently. I find that after 4 days the top of the filler is going distinctly brown, it absorbs less top-up, and gives less vapour. I’m sure this happens to everyone. I’ve tried...

    I'm not a smoker. Is this worth getting into?

    NO!!! You'll get addicted to nicotine, just like most of us. I wish I'd never gone anywhere near nicotine. Forget it. Sorry, I didn't notice you said you'd use nicotine free flavours. If you stick to that, you'd be okay.

    Cartilage/Liquid question

    "Cartilage" is the gristley, unchewable stuff you get in meat. I assume you mean "Cartridge". In e-liquid, 18mg means there are 18mg in each ml. In cartridges, it means there are 18mg in the cartridge. If the cartridge contains 1ml, then they are exactly the same. Otherwise, they aren't...

    The Kate ban - explained.

    SJ, yes, thanks for explanation, and like others I hope Kate will return. I run a community web site & forum in the UK Home Page and have to be constantly mindful of libellous posts. When I see one my policy is to delete it and then PM the person who posted it, explaining why I've 'pulled it'...

    cheap nicotine/pg

    We need to clarify that, obviously. It will be for Sigma to indicate which is the most suitable. I picked one of the cheaper ones because the nicotine component of e-liquid is obviously not expensive. If it were, a 36 mg liquid would be more expensive that a 9mg - but it isn't.

    Otoscope

    In another thread, there was talk of examining your atomiser, without dismantling it, by using a magnifying glass and a light. This is very difficult to do. The answer is to buy an otoscope (the instrument a doctor uses to look inside your ear). They aren't expensive and give an excellent view...

    cheap nicotine/pg

    This is actually a seismic event and ill_dawg should be nominated for an OBE for ‘Services to Public Health’. It changes everything! Goto .............. This is 100ml of effectively pure (100%) nicotine for £94.70. 36mg/ml e-liquid is 3.6% nicotine. Therefore this 100ml bottle will make...

    Where are we up to with this? I'm interested.

    Menthol Overdose?

    Thanks ratfink. You've confirmed what I expected. Knowing the LD50 of menthol for a rabbit is a pretty useful bit of trivia knowledge :-) I'm sure everyone knows that LD50 means "Lethal Dose for 50% of recipients", but if you didn't, then that's two useful bits of trivia!

    Menthol Overdose?

    I’ve just made a batch of Menthol/Glycerin to cut TW Menthol 36mg down to 18mg without loss of ‘Menthol hit’. Specifically, the volume of Menthol crystals was roughly the same as the volume of two garden peas and I dissolved it in 30ml of Glycerin. Dripping this (just the glycerine/menthol...

    Hello from iVapour.co.uk

    iVap. When you get all your kissbox spares, I'll be buying everything from you rather than Janty Europe. In the meantime, is there any possibility we can return faulty stuff we bought from Janty Europe, to you for replacement? I know that's a tad cheeky, but it would help us UK Janty lovers a...
