A belated Happy New Year to one and all, and my apologies for neglecting the community for so long.
I`ve back tracked a few pages and I can see that all the usual suspects are still going strong (did Ian ever reappear ?), so that`s a good thing.
The mixing came to nought, I`ve got over 70 concentrates and must have tried over 200 recipes, of which about 4 were palatable and most were downright nasty, and I`ve ended up vaping the same toonz recipe that I make myself, so that went well then ! How`s it going for you George/Brynglas, are you still mixing ?
I could do with replacing some of my Isticks, like an idiot I bulk bought at a good price and even though I`ve been rotating, some are acting up. My problem is that the guy at my local B&M told me that Eleaf stopped making Isticks a couple of years ago and the battery chemistry wouldn`t hold out even in storage. I would value your opinion on that Bob, if you wouldn`t mind.
Other than to say I moved up to Preston in June, that`s just about me caught up.
Hi Vince - and Happy (also belated) New Year!
Ian hasn't been back - he's been missed.
I still mix a 5 flavour Chefs recipe that I stockpiled a now discontinued flavour for, but I like a lot of their one-shot ones in various brands. Mostly though, it's still MCV and Claire's Ambrosia.
I stockpiled mods - still got plenty too. I've had fewer iSticks wear out than three Sigelei mini's (which I really liked), and two CoolFire 1V's which aren't holding a lot of charge now, plus a Cloupor Mini which just died for no apparent reason. Still got plenty unused still - including the iSticks, Pico, MiniVolts, Aspire NX100, ...and probably a few I've forgotten! Some are fixed battery, some aren't.
Only one regret,all the money i wasted on pre-made juices.Maybe three out of ten were good,but i had some shockers(that went down the sink).Literally pouring money down the drain.
TPD did me a favour in a way.
I had the same thing happen, and totally agree!
I found it best to steer clear of NETs, coffee, melon and anything with blueberry as the main flavour.
Those are all amongst my most hated flavours!
..I do have the concentrates to make 'Lotta Ice Cream Latte' though ..may try it before too long
I have plenty of nicotine too, and also had a years supply of 3mg VG - plus some 10ml nicotine shots.
Istick Picos are very good mods and FT lists dozens of them. Cheap and reliable. The battery chemistry is as good as the 18650 you shove in it.
Or have a look in the horse's mouth:

I think that your "guy at your local B&M" may be in error - they do still make iSticks! Old built-in-battery mods do give up the ghost eventually, however.
They're easy and work ...that's why I always liked the iStick ...I see a couple of newer ones too iStick Power and a slim, neat one, iStick Trim - plus others.
