How are you getting on with the Protank4 Trish?
Some bargains here if you need others....

CHEAP E CIGARETTES | E CIG STARTER KITS UK SALE

Other than places i wouldn't buy from(50/50 only),there is only Craggy i can think of that's still selling.All the others are now on mixing kits or concentrates.That is except GV.
The TPD has certainly killed the small ready mixed UK producers.

So it seems - juice Cabin is still selling ready made until May 20th, or thereabouts ..then 10ml bottles apparently - so he must have the nitty-gritty sorted.
Jax Custard is still making stuff too ...don't know if it'll continue though. I had some of his Marshmallow Custard last night and it's very good - I'll get a bigger bottle. The waffle is good too, but not something I'd want every day (just my personal preference though). Still got another few to try before I order more.

I think I'll get some of the Raspberry Doughnut concentrate from Grumpy - I like it, especially with a bit of cream added.
Got some Wonder Flavours (Canadian) concentrates from Chefs, and the Pecan Cream is very promising, as are a few others of theirs.

I'd have said they were an engine lubricant manufacturer! Still, good to know where these things still are!

I was disappointed with mine - seems to flood somewhere - it gurgles instead of a clean draw!
Pity because those are certainly good prices!

vaping L&T Black Magic today, sent as a 5ml sample, quite strong blackcurrant, I'm sure there is custard in there somewhere.

Posting this from another forum,not cheap, but 72mg/ml nic available after May.

In fact by todays prices it's a rip off,but if others follow they may give a more reasonable price.

Thanks - bookmarked! It is expensive, and hopefully we can get it cheaper eventually.
I'm actually surprised that it can still be bought by us clumsy mere mortals after May 20th!

I do have a fair bit, so perhaps I'll buy very little in the future - not an enthusiastic mixer, so it's likely any small bottles of nicotine such as those sold by Justaddnic will tempt me rather than get a bottle out of the freezer

Someones worked it out, to buy the equivalent in 20 mg would be pushing 400 quid.So they are probably charging based on that.Either way it's there and there is a loophole

Exploitation.

Be interesting to see just how many US brands end up doing 10ml bottles of ready to use. I'm pretty sure the UK & EU will add a chunk to their annual turnover.
Think they'll test the water first to see how many will use them vs. how many have gone over to DIY.
I'm quite happy to do both to be honest as long as they don't try to use silly with prices.

....and, for anyone who hadn't seen it - Chefs still have some 60ml 3mg bottles of 7 flavours.

As for their nicotine ...sold out. Doesn't say if they'll get any more.
But they do have this Sasami 0.75mg 1lt for £12 ...not sure exactly what it is.

I see at FT my Nautilus 2 is delayed by yet another 3 days!

Also, they seem to be a day behind (for us) with new items. ...not that there's anything interesting. It looks more like a tacky market stall some days.

I'm half tempted ...could get some SOCC coils instead as I'm always buying those.
I could have bought a Nautilus 2 in the UK a few days ago for £22.

Well, at least you like it!
I've had to ration my use of GV's vanilla cream doughnut - it has the same affect on my breathing that a vanilla flavour had on me back in 2014! I hadn't used it for a few weeks when I found the Kilo White Chocolate Sandwich, and when I finally went back to it a few days ago, it virtually shut down my breathing after a day! I'm currently mixing it in with a strawberry cream ...and it's a good combination - so far, not much in the way of wheezing either!

 

[Banger696]

Just while you mention FT, my Aerotank Clone V2 replacement has been shipped. Hope the airflow ring on this replacement turns I did ask them to check before shipping.

Don't know that they'll have done that check, but fingers crossed your replacement works fine!

Element are already supplying boxed 10ml in their Dripper & FAR range, although they are still getting rid of stocks of 20ml bottles, know this because the cafe had a delivery on Tuesday which was a mixture of both sizes.
Reason for them being boxed is the amount of info that the FDA requires on the packaging and that is more than the TPD requires.

 

[Pictor]

Good to see you Bob - all OK with you?

I've seen a few others too ...Cuttwood, Kilo original range, Ruthless, and a few others ...Suicide Bunny too I think - probably more that I haven't seen. Quite a few are in little boxes too, likely for the same reason.
A number of UK ones are in 10ml now ...Digby's are in little boxes too! If they can keep prices similar for quantity bundles of bottles, I think they'll do OK. I'll still use some ready made.

I just made 108ml of MCV concentrate plus 100ml ready to use. Just about to make a smaller bottle of the Wonder Shot Butterscotch Cream Pecan Pie ...I have some of their single flavours too, and they smell rather good!

Something I need to know - I have a few unopened bottles of plain VG, and two of 3mg VG base that have an expiry date of 11/16 .....why does it expire. I understand the nicotine base liquid can gradually get lower in strength, but why the plain VG?

I think all the liquids used in preparation are only valid for about a year, unless kept unopened in the freezer, TBH I would bother with stocking up on either plain PG or VG as it can be bought over the counter in most pharmacies anyway, and I wouldn't bother with premix base unless you are going to use it within 6 months, just not worth it.

Sorry missed that bit, was over in Antwerp last week-end, and my mate who lives there is here until next Friday, still spending a lot of time in the Caffè, even worked a couple of Sundays to help out, when one of the girls are off, apart from that still having problems with the ear & nose (sinus) infection - just won't go away, although the Diabetes might have something to do with that, infections tend to linger more with that.

Also been called up to do my duty yet again in the Crown Court, for the 3rd time on April 18, wonder if I can get out of it with my health problems, worth trying I suppose.

OK, thanks Bob. I reckon I'll bin the plain stuff, and may try one smaller bottle of ready to use with the out of date 3mg base. If it's OK, I'll make a few bottles of various things to use it up. I doubt it could make me ill?

I knew you'd been to Antwerp. You seem to be rather busy at times Nice to get the odd day of work too!
Infections are tough when you've been ill with something else. I think we shake them off more slowly too as we get older. I live in dread now of getting an infection of some sort because to take antibiotics would likely irritate the colitis again. Even a bit of stress sets things grumbling a bit. I can't take aspirin or Ibuprophen either as they're irritants to colitis! The same condition attacks the immune system elsewhere too, so I've had a severe bout of psoriasis since late 2015 (may be starting to calm a bit now - just waiting to see), and I've developed related arthritis in some joints which is painful, and very little I can take or apply to help it. If the colitis clears up better, it'll subside until it flares up again.
I hope you find that sinus/ear trouble clearing as the weather improves. My sinuses have been a bit iffy this winter.

Also been called up to do my duty yet again in the Crown Court, for the 3rd time on April 18, wonder if I can get out of it with my health problems, worth trying I suppose.

I've avoided it three times - first time was my self employment and resulting lack of earnings coupled with commitments for exhibitions, second was similar, plus my honest opinion of the legal system, and third was the fact I had unpredictable colitis and BPPV vertigo. I phoned to explain and the clerk said to just put it in writing and I'd be excused.

Don't remember mentioning it before now, or are you spying on me on FB , don't spend a lot of time in the house nowadays.

I've avoided it three times

So that's why I've got hit a third time
