But isn't that more or less what we're getting with the CV Lemon Coconut Cream Cake? It really is a fresh cream lemon cake with a hint of oconut at the moment ...I don't care if it doesn't much change in steeping either, because I used the VG .6 I have all last night and love it already!
Just wondered if it was worth getting another lemon cake one - they may get the concentrate anyway!
I will order those other ones though! I'm yet to find a blueberry that doesn't taste yuk to me!

Sadly, my replacement zero one and the VG Doughnut wasn't in todays post. Hopefully tomorrow

Sorry - forgot! I'll send you a PM now

Well if you are happy with the chefs trish, just forget about the lemon bar If i like the chefs one as much as you do ( Arrived today ) then i probably won`t get any more lemon bar !

I reckon you will really like the blue moo trish, I have a good blast on it every day

Naturally, it depends on what variations you find! ...taste a drop - it's good!

Would have liked my replacement Doughnut to arrive today - I keep eyeing that bottle that says PG/VG and wondering ...should I ..... I just love trying new ones!

I reckon you will really like the blue moo trish, I have a good blast on it every day

OK, I'll give it a whirl!

Edit - was I right? ...2 shots of flavouring for MBV was good?

 

[trouble1000]

It has been a bit of a puzzle for me until I realised I had two problems: PG and some flavours! It's still not perfect because even using too much VG causes upper respiratory congestion and that cuts my air off too!, but I keep going! ...hence me not inhaling into my lungs if I can help it.
I may dig out something a bit stronger and try using a bit later in the day to try and use less altogether ...all a bit trial and error.
I used to get throat and gum bleeds with too much PG! One Vanilla did the same.
As for nasal congestion - try some Pirinase hay fever spray from the chemist. It's fluticasone in a milder version to that which I get prescribed (Avamys) to help with any ear congestion when I get vertigo (eases any pressure it could cause to make it worse) - it'll clear your nose very well with very little. I'm using Avamys at night currently and it's made a big difference!

Oh that sounds rather brilliant! I do love the chocolate ones! My Mint Choc Vapetto is used every day, and has been since the day I first got some. I like the NT Got Cookie, but can never use it alone because it's a PG/VG, so have to use a small percentage with my Confusion or ABC.
I have two flavourings that I haven't tried yet: Pchelas and Pchela's Poison - got them both at CV and they smell very good too! I'm thinking one of those with whatever makes a fudge flavour and sweet or whipped cream may make a rather nice one!

At least you're going in the right direction now I guess Trisha - knowing what you can and cannot vape. Must admit, I'd be gutted if I had a similar reaction. I love my fruity vapes. Thanks for the tip about the hay fever spray. To be honest, I don't get massive congestion, just a little bit at night. It's probably because I exhale the vape through the nose most of the time. I seem to be able to taste my juices better doing it that way.

I used to really love my choco/caramel juice. But I tried it again a few weeks ago and to be frank, it didn't seem as complex as it used to do. I think now, I'm spoiled with all the multi-layered flavours I have. Getting fussy in my old age

Didn't get an answer from them until later in the afternoon though, and all they said was, we see they have been delivered.

The Zeniths are originals @ £60 here Zenith V2.5 RDA by Crescent Moon - SHMOvapes

Cheers Bob, saved in favourites I found another UK site earlier on that sells them too, but for an extra tenner - at least I've got 2 options now.

Hmm, glad i went for the kayfun mini then.

Did you order the FT one mate ??

Thanks buddy I tried my first attempt last night (mixed it a few days ago) and it isn't bad. As you did, I went heavier on the choc than the caramel and added a little EM sweetener as the caramel isn't a particularly sweet caramel. Tastes pretty good but I reckon can be sweeter!

It does need a bit of tweaking Adam. But that's all part of the fun of mixing. Try adding a little cream to the mix to round things out, it can help to take any bitterness from the chocolate. If you add the honey too, that can make a big difference to the sweetness mate

When I first got it right, it tasted just like a Cadburys caramel bar - remember the old advert with the cartoon bunny in it

Well with all this recent talk of box mods, I've been compelled to order. Not 1 but 2

From Midlands vaping :

The IPV2 -

http://www.midlandsvaping.co.uk/ipv-mods-by-pioneer4you/338-ipv2-50watt-box-mod.html

50 Watts is ample for me, really don't see me ever going that high, but it's there if I need it. I like the design and the button lay out, seems to get decent reviews, plus I'd rather change batteries myself than charge up from a USB port.

Hana Modz 30 Watt in red - to match my eyes

https://www.fasttech.com/products/1834505

A cheap MP3 player, so I've got something to listen to when my bus breaks down this winter - I'm planning ahead

https://www.fasttech.com/products/1628900

Sony VTC4's - 2 lots. Looks like I might have got the last ones in stock, cos their sold out again now. I know there's a lot of talk about whether their genuine or not. But I have the VTC3's from FT and gone down to 0.3 ohm builds without any issues at all. I don't do mega sub-ohm stuff, so I'm confident with the batteries I've got.

----------------------------------

The FT order is just waiting for the Hana in about 7 days time, the rest is ready to ship. They will have to ship by HK surface post, that's why I ordered items containing batteries together. Should be here for Chrimbo 2015

Yes Ian, and it shipped within a few hours of ordering

[Pictor]

At least you're going in the right direction now I guess Trisha - knowing what you can and cannot vape. Must admit, I'd be gutted if I had a similar reaction. I love my fruity vapes.

I am, believe me! Been times it's had me so frustrated and upset. It has been so many things too - and when I've had a couple of mistakes, I start to worry whether any of the others were wrongly labelled. Sometimes, I get the breathing problems and can't work out why unless it's just a case of too much liquid full stop.
So now I can add blackcurrant to the list of apple, lime, blackberry, pineapple, cinnamon, etc. etc. - there's probably more too. Strawberry can be a bit troublesome, and also some vanillas.

Thanks for the tip about the hay fever spray. To be honest, I don't get massive congestion, just a little bit at night. It's probably because I exhale the vape through the nose most of the time. I seem to be able to taste my juices better doing it that way.

one of our sons has been plagued by sinus troubles - me too but not so bad these days of not smoking - and after I was prescribed the Avamys, I found the milder over the counter one for him and he was impressed with it.
I get the nose thing late in the day too. Far rather have that than the feeling of my lungs turned to concrete ..it's horrible.

I used to really love my choco/caramel juice. But I tried it again a few weeks ago and to be frank, it didn't seem as complex as it used to do. I think now, I'm spoiled with all the multi-layered flavours I have. Getting fussy in my old age

I suppose initially, anything that stopped us smoking was miraculous ..we've got more discerning now, because the suppliers have developed ever more interesting ones, and people aren't as easily pleased by the rubbish!
Have you seen/tried the Pchelas's? Chefs Vapour
They're multi layered. I'm going to pick one of the two I have and make a small bottle to see how it is. Can then add some cream to it if needed.
I was hoping to find the Belgian one you got, but see it's one of those that only come in 50/50! drat! No concentrate available for those.

That New York New York syndrome!

 

[Bobw1951]

Just reading your latest post this morning, I looked back to this one, and at the time, with you saying you wondered if it was mine you'd got, I'd thought you had meant to say you'd received 6mg max VG, but that you usually order 50/50 - it's all been a bit confusing trying to work out who got what and who it had been intended for

It looks like it is uncertain exactly what is in the 50/50 marked bottle of Doughnut I got: VG with the wrong label? Lew couldn't say for sure, and seeing I just had a terrible time breathing with the QOP, haven't dared to try it. I probably will at some point (when I feel brave).

I couldn't help wondering this morning if my 30ml of Queen Of Puddings really is max VG (as marked) - I'd used all of the 10ml bottle with no particularly noticeable effects. Once onto the 30ml I had some pretty bad problems within two days.
Impossible to say though - could have been the time it took to build up an allergy/intolerance to blackcurrant, or just perhaps it had PG in it. Only way I'll know for sure is to get another 10ml bottle of it in max VG.

No I think we got crossed wires because you said that they don't mark your ones as max VG but 50/50 and that is what I always order anyway, and of course I have now started ordering 6mg instead of 12mg as well, never mind all sorted my end. Sorry you appear to be having problems with your juice though, could be a mistake on their part or the allergy etc. does the juice look thinner than normal 50/50 would be slightly thinner than max VG.

I hope they haven't done that to our postman - poor chap has just got back after 3 months off sick with exhaustion due to overwork.
He's long been the envy of other postmen for getting all his round done every day, including a parcel delivery in the mornings. We've known him say he'll likely not get finished until 6pm some days. He just keeps going until it's done.
There's always been a noticeable difference when he's off on holiday - the post either slows down a lot, or they have to put an extra one on.

While he was off sick, there were days when we had or saw three post deliveries in a day, all by different people!

Had my 2 Zeniths arrive Special Delivery ('twas him that told me about the problems) and later the first normal post of the week, my RM Fee to Pay card finally arrived, was less than I expected, I'd worked it out to be between £17 and £20 but it was only for £13.99, paid it on line so I should get my MBV order on Friday, if they can find someone to deliver it - be able to vape it on Sunday as it will be fully steeped by then.
Have also sent email to RM to see what they say about the Absorption Area thing and that I am not happy about getting everything late because of it.

 

[Pictor]

Yep, i started buying with one shot then moved up to two, which i find perfect. Currently blasting away on the QOP

Aw shush! I love that stuff

...so, I placed an order with MVB. They even use my favourite CC too (get 1% off annually)
Kept it to 4 bottles to avoid duty (used the 10% discount code too) - got the Coffee 6mg, Sweet Cream 0mg, Blue Moo 3mg & White Ice 6mg (Cream & menthol).
I wanted another two but could order them separately. Shipping looks the same as Nicoticket. The Vanilla Cupcake looks like a useful mixer one. I'll bet that Maple Pecan one is good with the Sweet Cream too! I may wait for chefs to get both of those in flavouring - although some are just $2.99 on MBV site.
With the flavouring, I don't see the Lemon Bar there, nor a few of the others, so it may not be all of them that come as flavouring. Sweet Cream does though! $4.99 for 15ml and they advise 15-40% so you could probably make it for half price.
I wonder if they realise that their image for Bananas Foster looks more like roast potatoes and mash in gravy!

 

[Bobw1951]

Cheers Bob, saved in favourites I found another UK site earlier on that sells them too, but for an extra tenner - at least I've got 2 options now.

My 2 arrived this morning, I took the RMSD option seeing as it was only £6.95, I converted the one with a Brass AFC to BF, just take the screw out and put the other one with a hole in it back in, left the SS one to use as normal for the time being until I get something BF (like the Laik) to add it to

I think Terry did get the one from FT - it's less than half the price of the one I got from the UK, to be honest, for small atties, I think I prefer clearos better, I'm mainly using the Mini Nautilus and iClear Gladius (the latter in my 17mm Gizmo and the MicroStick which can only take 16.5mm max), although I do like the Mini KF as well, unlike this blinking Taifun GS, now getting a burnt taste, good job I got it from Focalecig so it was cheep cheep.

 

[Bobw1951]

I love that colour - if they'd had fixed batteries I'd have wanted one of those.

That New York New York syndrome!

That's the nice thing about those type of mods though, although they take normal 18xxx batteries, once you put them in, they stay in and you charge them via the USB lead, only need to change them if/when they fail. - The ones you don't want are the ones where you need a charger to charge the batteries separately.

 

[Pictor]

No I think we got crossed wires because you said that they don't mark your ones as max VG but 50/50 and that is what I always order anyway, and of course I have now started ordering 6mg instead of 12mg as well, never mind all sorted my end. Sorry you appear to be having problems with your juice though, could be a mistake on their part or the allergy etc. does the juice look thinner than normal 50/50 would be slightly thinner than max VG.

That's just it though - they do mark mine as max VG, but there's been a couple of occasions they didn't.
When the Doughnut arrived marked as 50/50 no way was I going to try it ...I always order them at the 65/35 level and then add a note to make them max VG instead. 50/50 is something I never order so either it is what it says on the bottle, or the label was a duplicate and both ours got done at the same time.
CV don't seem to have really gloopy VG, so I think it has a bit of D Water in it to help flow.

Plus, I recently ordered a bottle of Zero Confusion that came marked as .6 - I checked, and they said that it did indeed have nicotine - it was a bit coloured, so I'd been right to check.
I seem to have had both errors - wrong label or wrong contents

Just one of those things! They're going to get drop-downs for zero nicotine and hopefully for max VG too - plenty of people seem to use both. They've just taken on someone new and hope to get it done soon.

I know it's been asked before ...how long before MBV gets to the UK? I kept my order to $21 so it shouldn't attract any duty etc.
I just had another 4 day one from NT!

Have also sent email to RM to see what they say about the Absorption Area thing and that I am not happy about getting everything late because of it.

Typical - like the railways, we used to have a second to none service from RM ...bring shareholders into the equation and the whole thing unravels in favour of profit margins!

Ah! I thought there was something that I'd found better on some - I remember now! So, I see this: $43.56 HANA MODZ Pack DNA 30 Style Mod - 1*18650 / 7W-30W / red at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping ...and where is best to get the battery?

Not saying I will get one but you never know!

I noticed I have quite a few CV ones that are .6 but have flavours I can't use, one or two that I'm not keen on ...things like Jungle Juice, Green Eyed Monster, Hawaiian Pud, Orange Custard Cream, Apple Pie, Blueberry C Bomb, Blue Bandit, and Banoffee. They're all VG even though some are marked in the old way before they did max VG labels.
Would you like them?
Even if we get a liquid 'apocalypse' I won't be able to use a fair number of those, and they'd likely be out of date by then anyway - pointless me keeping them.

Main problem with Privatisation of service industries, they get worse in the beginning, then later they get better but by increasing the prices astronomically.

As for getting decent 18650 30amp batteries like the Sony VTC4 or VTC5, which are what you would need, they are in very short supply at the moment, but you can go on the waiting list at UKecigstore, £7.50 is about the going price for them, just don't buy from eBay and even some advertised on Amazon are doubtful as well, the main thing to watch is when they get to down about 2/3rds on the display, then plug the USB cable in, just like the iStick, don't let them get too far down.

EDIT Just re-read the last bit of that message, have tried VG only liquids before and find I don't seem to be able to taste the flavour as much, that's why I go for the 50/50 or even 60/40 PG/VG because the flavour is in the PG more, don't know if Terry or Ian would like them though.

One like is better than none

I just couldn't decide between the Hana and the IPV2, so I ordered both I'm not going over to box mods, it's just my 16 hole display stand is already full of mods, so there's no room left for more mechs Seriously though, I've already put some mods away in the vape cupboard ready to sell on. I like my regulated mods as a change sometimes, so the 2 box mods will get a fair bit of use.

I'll tell the Wife to pick me up some of the hay fever relief the next time she's in Boots. Thanks again for the tip. I get more "bunged up" after work too - probably cos of all the crud I'm breathing in first thing in the morning in the Depot. You can see the fumes in the garage first thing in the morning when all the buses start up. After a couple of days off work, the night time gunk is a lot less

That Pchela looks exactly like my type of thing Trisha, both of them look lovely. Think I'll be picking some up next time I order. Which sub section are they under ??

Shame that, the Belgian chocolate is lovely, cream and sweet - yummy

I think they'll look great on the Reo, don't think I'd use them as a standard dripper, as I only tend to drip new juice samples. Good excuse to buy a new mod right there Bob, go one order a Laik

make sure you get the Pirinase Hayfever (fluticasone propionate) - it's a different solution to most nasal sprays, and does work effectively. I'd not have found it if I hadn't been looking up 'fluticasone' to see what had been prescribed for me to help keep my ears clear to avoid pressure in a stronger version.
The Pirinase one worked very well for our son and me with sinus congestion. It works well for the liquid stuffiness too! You can get it at Boots, Lloyds etc. Pirinase Hayfever 0.05% Nasal Spray 60 Sprays - Nasal Sprays - Lloyds Pharmacy
You likely won't need to use it too often.

That Pchela looks exactly like my type of thing Trisha, both of them look lovely. Think I'll be picking some up next time I order. Which sub section are they under ??

It's Mom & Pop - the item reference top left on each item is the clue to brand. those two are MP50 & MP51
Mom & Pops
Percentage is between 10-20% according to taste.

I have a few of theirs and although not made into a full bottle yet, I have added some by a few drops to a tank and they're rather good. Be much better made properly and allowed to steep

Shame that, the Belgian chocolate is lovely, cream and sweet - yummy

I'd have ordered some if they'd had the option, or the concentrate! Thing is, perhaps the flavouring they use is used by some other brand. Pretty sure I've seen the 'beefcake' mentioned somewhere else - I'll see what I can find! I do like chocolate ones. Must get a bottle of the Pchela's made!
