I just tried the Chefs Vapour Orange Custard Cream - definitely orange butter cream and biscuit! :)
They really are clever with getting these sweet dessert ones right!

I've never had any liquid before that smells good but doesn't taste nice even if it does need to improve with time.
Usually, anything not ready to just try has had an unpleasant or even weak smell and I've left it until it improves.
With the CV ones, most have been fine to taste right away even though they did improve even further, but one or two in the second order weren't quite like that! Obviously just depends on the flavourings blending fully at varying times!

I also tentatively tried SteamGunk Snickerdoodle today (it does have PG in it) Very nice! I just hope that when she gets more base, she's willing to make me a few in VG!

Yay! you did that fine! :) All looks a bit of a muddle when you 'go advanced', and you have to sift through it carefully to find the right sections/quote tags sometimes!

I half expected getting the problems back when my face felt so dehydrated and I got palpitations! Then, one by one all the problems returned! If nothing else, it confirms that it was indeed PG. I spent the first 6 weeks of not smoking thinking that there were more ill effects than the average person got! Looked at the health section here and found the likely reason!
I'd just bought around 70 pre-filled cartridges too, so that was a waste, and I had to buy all new batteries, clearomisers and liquid! Was doubly expensive!
I do still use the smaller batteries though - very useful for out and about and trying smaller quantities, and I just bought a couple more from V2.

I'll definitely be staying with VG, so do hope Chefs Vapour are happy to carry on making it for me. LT always have :)
I could take a look at Virgin Vapor at some point, but CV will be hard to beat for those dessert ones!

I'd certainly like to hear back from CV: it wasn't exactly a small cost order as I'd got 3x30ml and 6x10ml - and I've placed two more orders since but only for 15x10ml bottles. Again, VG requested (it appears at the bottom of the order) and followed up with an email.

What a bloody expensive way to start your quest with vaping trish.:( But at least you now know what was causing you problems, and can now move forward.:)

Yeah IMO chefs vapour will take some beating on flavour, and i reckon once they get to know you, and they should do by now-no more mistakes will be made on their part, and they sort out that
c up what they made.

I think they are fantastic at getting their flavours spot on trish. In all the ones i have tried from them, the description on thier page seems to be so accurate.

This afternoon i was staining the lean-to at the side of my house, and i was vaping the T/H trimto in between brush strokes. I know i have said it before, but it is certainly nothing special-same as the TS&C which i am vaping right now.

I have actually now deleted the bookmark, because i won`t be spending any more cash there. I have just got the juicy fruity left to sample now, but going off the others my expectations are not that high.

Ian i will send about 6 ml of each to you once i have tried the latter.

Thanks for that, trouble.
I'm a bit confused though so bear with me.

I thought nicotine liquid was just.. neat nicotine liquid, that I buy a single bottle of and can add to my PG or VG. I didn't realise the nicotine is suspended in either PG or VG.

How does that work then if I want to add nicotine to my 0% PG base and nicotine to my 0% VG base? Do I have to buy a bottle of PG based nicotine to add to my 0% nic PG base and also a bottle of VG based nicotine to add to my 0% VG base? And should I buy a 100ml of higher nic strength like 72mg, which is what I see people mentioning a lot, and then add the correct amount to my base to give it the nic strength I want, ie, 6mg or I might want 8mg, etc?

Probably the best thing to do is buy the nic solution in a PG base, then a bottle of plain PG and a bottle of plain VG. All you need then are your choice of flavourings and some things to mix them with. The initial outlay will be fairly high, but once you've got all the supplies, they last a long time. I'd also recommend downloading the "e-juice me up" liquid calculator and do a little reading on how to use it. Once you've had a play with the calculator it is pretty straightforward to use. When you mix you start off with the nic solution, you can buy 72mg strength, but the stuff I get from LT is 54mg. Then you add the right amount of PG and VG to get the correct strength of juice and the correct PG/VG ratio. Finally add the flavouring and that's it. The e-juice calculator will tell you the exact amounts of each item to add.

I haven't had them more than a few days, but the first three I got were really good on the day they arrived, and they'd been freshly made because they were 100% VG. No problem - happy to wait now I know there's not a problem with them, but I'll have to wait for the new VG ones because the PG is starting to bother me. Drat!
I get slight bleeding on my gums after a while with PG ..seems to make my whole mouth really sore. I also had a vanilla custard one once that made my throat so sore it bled! All that together with not being able to breathe at times was too much and I changed to VG and stepped away from anything custard/cream ...until I found these lovely CV ones! I just hope the new orders do come in VG!

99% of all juices get better over time - like a good wine :laugh:

A lot of people find their gums bleed a little when they first give up smoking, so that might not be a symptom of the PG. But all the other nasty experiences are most likely linked to the PG content. I've seen quite a few US vendors that do 100% VG liquids, if you need any just let me know.

Cheers mate, you know me, never say no to new juices :laugh:

I've replaced the TH jelly babies in the Vmod now, it's an ok juice, might bring out the flavour more in a Kayfun. The Vmod has now got Zeus juice in it instead, it's a much fuller flavour.

Cheers to Ian.... got the kfl base back with your coil on, post was just a bit late today :)

I can see 2 major differences between the coil you put on and the ones i have been trying to set up... 1st thing is that yours is rotated 90 degrees in position from the ones i put on, so ive obviously been going wrong there! and the 2nd thing is that yours has a much larger diameter than mine (no wonder i was getting dry hits, i think i was strangling the wick with my coils) so hopefully i can learn from that! It was just as you said at 1.8ohms, i'm saving putting any juice in until Monday when im out the day for a treat tho! ;)

:laugh: I know what you mean mate. To be honest, the first lot of juices I had seemed to taste better. Maybe he's changed his flavour suppliers or something like that. I've not tried the white gems yet, but I'll be using that in the Vmod too, cos that's what I vaped it in originally.

If you let me know if any of the other juices I sent you hit the mark like the berry blast. I can do another run of them for you too when I'm mixing next :D

Excellent news mate, glad it arrived safe and sound :)

With the coil in the 90% plain, it's better cos it keep the coil legs short, it means the coil doesn't open up as much at the ends when you tighten down the screws, plus it's easier to adjust the coil height over the airhole too. I normally do smaller diameter coils, but the 2mm one should last longer, plus it's easier to get the cotton through. You might have to play around with the cotton thickness and length, but the wick I put in it will give you a baseline to start with. Hope you enjoy being part of the cotton club Cody :laugh:

I just had to remind myself not to buy more juices... i'd been on spiritus site and had some suicide bunny OB, nicoticket creme brulee & grizzly koko bear in my basket. All this fruity stuff from zamplebox has made me really crave some desserts, but i shall just have to be patient and await my CV order!

I do the same thing Cody :laugh: Putting stuff in the basket is almost as good as actually ordering it :D

Have you not got any dessert juices at the moment mate ?? If I'd known that I could have popped some of my Cinammon Danish Swirl in the packet for you to try - I sent Terry some the other day. It's a lovely DIY juice if I do say so myself :D

Great stuff mate, you know I like to get other peoples opinions of my DIY stuff - but only if their good ones :laugh:

I've got some GVC and CLS to keep me ticking over :) I'm trying to be frugal with the GVC though, it's so damned nice i really dont want to run out! I noticed that on the GVC website last weekend it was saying open and restocked from 830am on Monday. I didnt get on the site until the monday afternoon and no joy, all gone :(

Cinnamon Danish Swirl!!!!!!! When im away as a treat they are my breakfast of choice :drool:

Yes, it was almost a set-back, but it got sorted ...had a couple of issues with some of the vanilla/custard flavours and two fruit ones after that, but once I found out what it was I was finally OK :)
That's why the Chefs Vapours ones have been so terrific: I finally found some pudding ones that I'm OK with.
I know for sure that Jamaican Ginger is OK for me, but can't be totally sure with the others until I try them with VG only! Not the easiest of things to deal with but worth it.
I've never had any allergy with anything before!

I do still have some of the Lews Brew & Cappuccino in the VG from my first order, so I'm hoping the new ones get here soon! One order has been marked as completed since yesterday but I've had no despatch email.

Bloody hell the GVC sold out quickly :ohmy:

Bet there will be other sites that have bought some in though. Generally, if you e-mail Grant and ask him, he'll tell you which sites have it in stock - he's a decent bloke like that :D

I really enjoyed the Nicoticket "Grandmas Cinammon Danish" so I thought I'd see if I could make something myself. Mine is a mostly a mixture of Coffee Danish Swirl and Cinammon Danish, as well as other stuff. It's a lovely juice though, quite pleased with that one.

Ha yep you will get my opinion mate, especially on the butterscotch one :evil: :laugh:

I bet you'll love it mate :p

You still struggling with the text wrapping Terry :evil::laugh:

They are probably winding down now trish for the bank holiday, After placing my order last night i have only had the confirmation, so i am looking at next week now.:( I don`t plan on running out of any of my favourites again, just to try some crappy ones. (lesson learnt)

i was going to get the fogger v4 from ft then i found them at ukecigstore for just a few pound more. couldn't resist and free delivery.
it arrived today along with some .32 canthal from stealthvape.
cleaned it out coiled to .8 with cotton filled up with fizzy trifle. i can see this getting a lot of use it's like the russian on steroids lol.
air flow ring is a little loose but works fine from nothing to wide open lung hits. i will recommend this to anyone who likes the kayfun / russian attys.
just need to restock on some alchemist cupboards chocolate peanut butter cookie i had some a couple of weeks ago and love it.
