OK! I'll ask him.

The chap at Flavourart said he'd likely find a few people who would want them, but I'll see if Ian wants them first!

I'll order some in the right strength - I do like the flavour of the bilberry & cookie ones! Used to love bilberry pie when I was small!

They have a customised section too.

Is it a uk site trish ? and do they just do the concentrates ?

As well as the Bilberry and Cookie ones, I liked the sound of Catalan Cream to mix in with things, Uber Menthol, and Chococo

The SG LMP is growing on me though! - flavour seems to have 'developed' better after being in the tank for a few hours

 

[Bobw1951]

yes bob I was in intensive care in Belgium was an eye opener the nurses would have been lovely if I could have understood them I cannot speak any foreign languages

You were obviously in the Wallonia part of Belgium, where the dominant language is French and they refuse to learn/speak anything else, in Flanders most people speak English as well as the Dutch dialect (Flemish/Vlaams), I can't converse in any other languages, but do have a fair vocabulary of French & German, and can count and know a couple of words in about 7 languages including Welsh.

Just looked at that and see what you did, you got your percentages and mg/ml mixed up again, they were 4.5% nicotine so 45mg/ml and the lowest in the personal service was 1% so 10mg/ml which is still higher than the 6mg/ml that you normally use (0.6% NOT 6%)

Yes, and unlike most I've bought from, this site puts the strongest first!
Flavourart have said they'll make it for me in 0.6 ...or any strength I need, so that's OK

I only found the site when searching for the bilberry .....talking about the bilberry pie at my grandparents house made me remember how much I'd liked it ..purple mouth included!

 

[Codz]

I have tried it ...nice! ... perhaps could have a bit more flavour ..but very nice!
I've been using a few Nicoticket ones (H1N1, Wakonda, Got Cookie) mixed with Confusion and ABC, and they have such strong flavours they seem to have made something like the LMP taste a bit tame. The Posset & Vapetto still taste good though!
Just ordered 50ml of zero nicotine VG Confusion from CV.

You may recall me getting a few from Flavourart a month ago ...just tried two mixed: Bilberry and Cookie (wanted a bilberry pie!) ...it nigh on blew my head off! Pepper in my nose, burning throat! Eventually, it dawned on me: their 4.5mg isn't what I though of as 4.5 ...no, it's 45% nicotine!!!
Wouldn't care, when I could actually taste the bilberry/cookie, it was good ..very realistic. - I'll have to re-order it in the right strength!

Im surpised they were selling something as strong as 45mg (4.5%). Even the nicotine bases tend to be a max of about 96mg (9.6%). To get 45% nicotine it would be 450mg so 25 times stronger than my normal 18mg. I'm not sure if it would kill you, but one drag would be the equivalent of inhaling 2 strong cigarettes in one go - i'm sure it would be at best a very nauseating experience!

Yes, and probably why it hadn't dawned on me what I was actually ordering! It would help if, like some sites, they put 'very strong', 'high', 'med', 'low' on them!

Apparently, this strength is what the chap at Flavourart UK uses - he says it's like smoking cigarettes and he only needs a few puffs and can then go some time without! Personally, I prefer my way of getting gradually lower to reduce nicotine dependency.

It really did feel rather brain blowing! Strong peppery and powerful in my nose and my throat felt seared! ...would make good aversion therapy!
He said there's quite a number of people that use it!

Another company that seems to sell higher nicotine strengths is the liquid at Intellicig. Apart from zero, their lowest is 1.5% and goes up to 4.5%

Sounds like a monster throat hit. These days I can easily tell the difference in throat hit between 12mg and 6mg so I can't imagine 45mg is pleasant.

In other news my chefs vapour concentrates order has arrived so I'll be mixing up some tasty treats later. I wish those guys would package the bottles more securely (maybe put them in a little plastic bag and tape that up?) as again one leaked slightly. Might drop them an e-mail with my next order.

All the concentrates smell delicious though.

I tried one I hadn't used for a while recently and it was 1.8 ...I definitely felt the difference with that and couldn't use it. The 45 was horrendous! How people use that on a daily basis is beyond me!

I find that unusual - I've had umpteen orders from CV and never once had anything leak whether 10ml or 100ml. ......now look - I've just ordered 50ml of Confusion zero nicotine and seeing I said that, it'll probably leak!

If they get Confusion in the concentrates, I may get a bottle and mix it with their plain VG. I use it to mix with other flavours such as 12 or 18mg from Nicoticket which are usually a PG/VG mix so I can only tolerate 15-20% mixed into something. The Confusion is mildly flavoured so it works well. Thankfully, their flavours are usually quite strong, so it works with most of them.

I guess if it works for some people then there is a market for it. I stick to 18mg 90% of the time. I can go as low as 15mg, but then i definitely feel it isnt strong enough and as high as 20mg, which feels a touch too strong. I tried 24mg a couple of times, but felt really harsh on my throat. Back in Feb and around christmas when i had a few analogs i noticed that we produce far more vapour than we ever produced in the equivalent of smoke, but also i found the throat hit of eliquid to be much more pleasant - smoother and longer lasting than an analog, which felt like just a tickly prelude to a sore throat for half a second!

I'm still amazed that just over 7 months ago I went from smoking 36 cigarettes each day to using e-cigs in two weeks (and they were just the small cigarette size ones with cartridges), then went from 2.4 to 1.8 and gradually down to a mix of .6 and .3 for some weeks now.
Not sure if I'll get lower ...I'll just take it as it comes and see how it goes.

I'd love not to be dependent on nicotine even if I do still keep up with the habit of seemingly 'smoking' something.
Possible legislation is one reason, but the fact that I get problems with PG, and to an extent with VG & some flavours keeps me hoping to cut nicotine out altogether just in case I need to stop.

Sounds like a good plan and you have done brilliant so far I just assumed you had stopped smoking ages ago because of your 2009 join date - is that when you first tried ecigs?

I first tried them probably around 2 years ago now - just occassionally buying the disposable cigalikes then eventually getting a rechargeable pack, but still cigalikes. At this point i decided to try ecigs only, but found cigalikes werent cutting the mustard for me, so moved onto egos and very quickly after that onto VV, then i met ian and terry on here and my wallet has never looked the same since

I've been vaping a couple of the Mrs Lords flavours today - Seville orange marmalade & Pontefract cakes. Both are nice, but not outstanding. I'll prob buy more of the marmalade and would have bought more of the pontefract cakes too but for the fact that I've tried a couple of the Licorice formulas from LT and one of them tastes pretty much identical but costs £5.40 for 30ml whereas Mrs Lords is £8 for 15ml. I dont mind paying extra for higher quality, but when i cant tell the difference and one is a third the price of the other its a no-brainer.

Not really into fruits because a lot of them are a sour or sharp sort of taste, so unless they have been sweetened in some way, like the Posset or Lychee Delight (Strix) then they are not for me.

I started on mainly 18mg just over 6 months ago, with one try at 24mg, but found that too much, now on 12mg, and my latest orders from both MBV and CV have been 6mg, which I will probably add to the 12mg & 18mg ones I have left to make 9mg, for my drippers and Kayfuns, and then hopefully down to 6mg.

 

[Pictor]

Sounds like a good plan and you have done brilliant so far I just assumed you had stopped smoking ages ago because of your 2009 join date - is that when you first tried e-cigs?

2009 was when I first heard of e-cigs, found this site, signed up and read a fair bit about them ..having tried gum, patches etc. and decided not to bother again, I dismissed the idea and thought no more about it until I got a disposable delivered with my Tesco groceries one week around a year ago. I didn't even try it - I'd got it in case I was put in a situation where I couldn't smoke ..a sort of emergency back-up
It was that disposable that I tried last December when I had to go for a check up including BP.
My BP always goes up by 15-20 points when I visit the doctors - I thought it would help if I only used it that morning for a few hours, and not at all in the hour before my appointment (It did bring it down sufficiently).
In the middle of January this year, it occurred to me to try it for a day to see if they really did work in substituting cigarettes. At the end of that day I realised I'd smoked 10 cigarettes less! Intrigued, I tried again the next day and got the same result, so over the course of a fortnight, I gradually cut them down until it was 6 ..it was at that point that I believed it could be done, so I carried on in a more determined manner. On Jan 27th I had my last cigarette: half first thing in the morning, half at 7pm.
200 cigarettes are still in the drawer and two packs with lighters within 2 feet of where I'm sitting right now Knowing they were there was the safety net that I never needed to use (so far). I still regard myself as a 'smoker' in the same way an alcoholic would. The potential is there and may well be for some time.
I'm determined, but if ever I fail, I won't kick myself because I'll know I tried ....I'm pretty sure I won't fail, because it would so upset me, but who knows!

I first tried them probably around 2 years ago now - just occassionally buying the disposable cigalikes then eventually getting a rechargeable pack, but still cigalikes. At this point i decided to try ecigs only, but found cigalikes werent cutting the mustard for me, so moved onto egos and very quickly after that onto VV, then i met ian and terry on here and my wallet has never looked the same since

I settled on GreenSmoke and V2 as the ones I liked best, and was soon down to 1.2mg from 2.4 with a few 0.8cartridges ready to mix in.
Apart from finding I got problems with some flavourings, such as certain vanillas,I had 6 batteries & 80 cartridges to hand at 6 weeks in when I realised I couldn't use PG, and that's what made me change to eSmart & Evod. The rest as they say is history! Met the gang here and they corrupted me I was warned too! Now have Spinner ll's, MVP2's and a few Evod, cTwist batteries too. I'm waiting for the iPow batteries to arrive in the UK now (3-15w).
I've gradually reduced the nicotine by mixing in lower with higher all the way. I now sometimes use a 0.3 with a zero along with others at 0.6. I don't notice the difference, and haven't with any reduction so far. I literally smoked like the proverbial chimney too!
The only time I sit up and take notice is sometimes if I see someone on TV take a first gratifying deep draw on a cigarette! Hmph!"

I don't think Mrs Lord does a max VG version. I'm happy with CV and Nicoticket mostly, but like a few of the Steamgunk (from CV), and one or two others such as Velvet Cloud etc.
The Pontefract Cakes does sound good, but if LT does one as good, perhaps I'll try it. He will make them in VG and at any nicotine level on request. I do like positive flavours in them though, but LT also sells the flavouring, so it's easy to add a few drops more.
My everyday usual's are the CV Posset, Mint Choc Vapetto, and RY/Confusion mixed (also NT Got Cookie/Oreo mixed with CV's Confusion or ABC).

 

[Pictor]

I didn't try the Bilberry on it's own really (just a dot on my hand that I tasted), but mixed with the Cookie, it was just like a sweetened bilberry pie!

Yes, I do think that if it's done in stages, and lower mixed with the higher gradually, then it's easier than just trying to step down by one strength.
I haven't had a problem so far, and am using one at the moment that just has 20% of .6 in with 80% of zero. It's a Nicoticket PG/VG one that's being mixed in and I can't tolerate much more PG than that. I'm also using another two today that are .6 and a .3.
It's nice to taste the flavours more as the nicotine reduces!

Still using the WTA diluted with a menthol one briefly on and off to help my concentration and focus. Hopefully, this is another area that will resolve itself in the not too distant future! I am getting spells of being able to work steadily for some hours ..just need it to be like that all the time!

Although you gave up quicker than I did, my cut down was a lot more, although I did smoke less anyway, ordered eGo with some juice just to give it a try, had already given up on the look-a-likes as a waste of money, and all the NHS crap. First day I smoked 7 instead of 25, next day it was 3, and as I had just come back from Belgium, thought what the ...... am I going to do with all these fags that I bought, so ended up carrying on for about a month vaping/smoking 3 a day, gave the missus 400 cigs and ended up at the end of Feb with the 1 pack unopened that I still have to remind me what a waste of money/health it was

It's nice to know that the flavours get better the lower you go, I didn't really notice anything between 18 and 12.

Now that I am building and getting into lower ohm coils am definitely finding 12mg is getting too much for some of my attys, still okay in the normal store bought heads like the Aspires and Kangers, but would be good to try and reduce if I can, especially as I am vaping all day, not like these people that are young enough to have to go to work and don't/can't vape all day.

On the 19th of this month it will be my two vapeversary. I can`t say i have enjoyed the full journey, what with all the leaks and gurgles i put up with at first, BUT after getting into RBA`S i have never looked back.

I can now smell a ..., or someone using one at 100 meters away, and i truely find the smell repulsive.

EDIT I don`t have to paint the house every year now either.
