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

So whether it's by service or cost, the end user loses

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.

How long do you think the batteries will be? Surprised only one reputable UK source though. Wouldn't ever buy batteries like this from Ebay or Amazon.
I found pretty quickly that the iStick charges much faster if done before it's run out, nice that I'd be able to see the charge left with this.

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.

I've found CV and NT have good flavour - I think they both add more to VG, I know for sure NT do with some, but not totally sure with CV. Still, if they're not something you'd like, that's fine
Terry uses 12mg now unless he would like some of them, but perhaps Ian could mix them with some higher ones.

Ian Terry ...could you use them?

If not, no worries I can ask one of our sons who may have a friend who uses that strength.

Thanks for the offer trish, but like bob, i do like my juices to have some pg in, for flavour and throat hit. What flavours are they just out of interest ?

Very - QOP is the worst one though because I love it!

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.

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

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!

Thanks for the link, I'll show the Wife then she knows what to look out for. I wouldn't go into Boots myself, I get intimidated by some of the orange skinned sales assistants No I don't want a make over thankyou very much, I'm perfectly happy with the black rings under my eyes Shouldn't mock them really, my neighbour is one of those orange skinned assistants, but her tan is natural - she's half Italian

You can tell I've not spent a lot of time on the CV site With the fluffy nuts I ordered and the QOP, I got them so I can save a little, then when I do order the concentrate and make my own, I can compare it to the original. I won't be saving much though, if they vape as good as they smell, there'll only be a couple of mls left

I've not seen the beefcake flavour anywhere else. It does taste a lot like my DIY choco/caramel, but there's more of a depth to the flavour with the beefcake. I think they use a creamier tasting chocolate base flavour.

Yep VG does tend to mute flavours quite a bit, whereas PG is a much better flavour carrier.

Thanks for the offer, I don't know about Terry, but I'm pretty well stocked up now on juices. I appreciate the thought though. I'm sure your Son's friend would be glad of the juices When this next batch come through from MBV, my A4 box file and juice display stand will be slightly overflowing again

Soz

I just had to have a look at that trish, and yes it does.

How could they not see that! Plate of lunch - not dessert!

How long does delivery take for MBV?

I've moved the Lemon Coconut Cream Cake to a MOW and put it on an iStick - very nice! I must order some more because this little bottle of .6 won't last long enough to mix it with the zero to a .3 by a long way when it comes!

Their not as quick as NT. NT tend to use a more express service. Probably about a week to 10 days. Bet Terry got his quicker though, cos he's special

Sometimes it's good to have a slightly higher nic juice for stressful times. I just up the wattage when I went something stronger, but higher nic juice has a similar effect

Sorry i read your post earlier and forgot about it Okay trish, my 1st 2 orders were 6 days, 3rd 8 days, then 6 again, and my last took 12, but i put that down to RM holding it up cos of the duty, which i never paid anyway. So i would expect around a week

Beat you to it mate

How come you're orders are quicker than mine ??

 

[trouble1000]

Off to bed now folks.

long day tomorrow before my short break from work.

Night all.

Thanks for the offer trish, but like bob, i do like my juices to have some pg in, for flavour and throat hit. What flavours are they just out of interest ?

That's OK - they're Jungle Juice, Green Eyed Monster, Hawaiian Pud, Orange Custard Cream, Apple Pie, Blueberry C Bomb, Blue Bandit, and Banoffee.

I hate fake tans, extensions and TOWIE type croaky nasal voices! That's a rant for me!

You can tell I've not spent a lot of time on the CV site With the fluffy nuts I ordered and the QOP, I got them so I can save a little, then when I do order the concentrate and make my own, I can compare it to the original. I won't be saving much though, if they vape as good as they smell, there'll only be a couple of mls left

They have a huge selection of flavourings and concentrates - don't think I've ever seen so many in one place! You can find virtually anything ..think I found around 6 marshmallow ones alone!
They have a page listed on the left that gives the rough quantities & profile for each brand. (think it's mixing information or some such)
You may wait a while for a concentrate for QOP they don't seem to do them until they're well established as a ready to use. Fluffy Nuts is there though.

I also saw today that they do ready to use Pink Spot ones too in a 50/50 blend.

I've not seen the beefcake flavour anywhere else. It does taste a lot like my DIY choco/caramel, but there's more of a depth to the flavour with the beefcake. I think they use a creamier tasting chocolate base flavour.

Hmm - pain! I do like the Got Cookie as an alternative to the Mint Chocolate Vapetto, but can only use a little percentage in a tank so don't get the full flavour when mixed with 80-85% ABC!

Yep VG does tend to mute flavours quite a bit, whereas PG is a much better flavour carrier.

It does and I sometimes see it mentioned, other times I've seen that some will add extra flavour to it. I've seen a number of NT's with 'double flavour shot' in the description for the max VG.

Thanks for the offer, I don't know about Terry, but I'm pretty well stocked up now on juices. I appreciate the thought though.

Not sure what sons friend uses, but I'll ask.

...I could hear Chrissie Hynde then ...'I'm Special, so special' .....

Sometimes it's good to have a slightly higher nic juice for stressful times. I just up the wattage when I went something stronger, but higher nic juice has a similar effect

Upping the power means more liquid = me wheezing!

Sorry i read your post earlier and forgot about it Okay trish, my 1st 2 orders were 6 days, 3rd 8 days, then 6 again, and my last took 12, but i put that down to RM holding it up cos of the duty, which i never paid anyway. So i would expect around a week

OK, I kept it under the duty level, and chose just the USPS delivery @ $12.95 same as NT - Nebraska's more central though rather than over on the west coast.

Beat you to it mate

'cos indeed he is special

Aw thanks trish Careful though, or Ian will be a green eyed monster

 

[Bobw1951]

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

I might but he hasn't come back to me yet on how long the waiting list is for them, really would like a Sunbox but they are like gold dust at the moment, none on the website and everytime one comes up in classies it's gone by the time I see it.

 

[Bobw1951]

Isn't it always the case?

How long do you think the batteries will be? Surprised only one reputable UK source though. Wouldn't ever buy batteries like this from Ebay or Amazon.
I found pretty quickly that the iStick charges much faster if done before it's run out, nice that I'd be able to see the charge left with this.

A lot of the usual suppliers sell them, but the couple I looked at haven't got any, but UKecig was offering to email you when back in stock, so always worth a try, don't know when they will be available though, I have bought batteries from Amazon, but I know exactly what I am looking for and check to see where they are coming from before I commit, if you come across any reputable ecig vendor selling green eFest batteries that are claimed to be 50amp, then they are almost as good as the Sony ones, but the Purple eFests although rated 35 amp, that is pulse rate and the continuous is only 20 amp, so are not really suitable

Also on eJuice, if CV are looking at doing MBV concentrates maybe they will sell their pre-made ones as well, will have to wait and see, there is a vendor in France that sell MBV juices CloudHouseVapor when I first looked at the site they were only good for small amounts, but now they look very well worth it e.g 5x30ml for €37.99 (shipping extra I would assume)

 

[Bobw1951]

How long does delivery take for MBV?

From the date they shipped to arriving at my delivery office this order took 9 days, to be honest I prefer the wait of at least a week or 2, that way I don't have to steep them as that has happened en-route

 

[Bobw1951]

I hate fake tans, extensions and TOWIE type croaky nasal voices! That's a rant for me!

and slapstick make-up - I was checking Google yesterday as I have been seeing quite a few Japanese girls, who just don't look right, at first I thought it was some sort of thing that is like the albinos but it turns out it was some fad that started a few years back, dying their hair light brown and heavy dark make-up, virtually the opposite of what would be their natural look.

 

[Pictor]

Aw thanks trish Careful though, or Ian will be a green eyed monster

Aye, well ...I didn't say why you were special or what would single you out as such ....just joking

Isn't it always the case?

Sadly! Don't know why they haven't realised how much harm they do to essential services! ...they don't care though!

Oh heck - now it gets complicated ..if I did get one I'd have to ask you chaps which to get!

Chefs have had the Pink Spot concentrates for a long time but I only just saw the ready to use part today.
I'll look at that site!

I don't mind waiting to use them usually, but like to see them arrive so I can forget about them getting here

Sounds downright ugly! sort of Michael Jacksonish?
I don't like heavy make up at all - younger women look older with it, and older women look either older or ridiculously false!

Edit - MBV marked as shipped at 12.06!

 

[Bobw1951]

Not really, 3 to look for: Sony VTC4 or VTC5 (both 30amp) and the new Green Efest 50amp, if you see any of them from a reputable ecig vendor then grab one or two.

So with a bit of luck you should get them by the end of the month - just watching the Beeb "Charlie and Boots" Paul Hogan looking very weathered, and that was made about 5 years ago, I recognised the voice before him.
