Homemade juice been steeping for two days now.The Twisted and the English trifle smells good,the ice mint smells of Hum mint.Would a week be long enough before I try them?

Yeah I expect so, I've made twisted and it only needs a few days, it'll keep steeping and changing a bit but a week should be more than enough.

Menthol/mint types also generally don't need long, although they might be a bit overpowering to start with and mellow out.

Thanks Adam,I'm gonna make some strawberry,watermelon with a touch of menthol (hopefully just enough to give it a slight coolness)
Would this sound about right
8% strawberry
8% watermelon
4% ice mint

Depends on the brand of your flavours mate I'm not really sure. Have you made up single flavours using those before?

I have found that mixtures require a greater overall % than a single flavour but it will vary for the brands. Afraid mixing e liquid isn't always that simle though.

Just reported to Doris @ Focalecig that my nice Blue Zero mod has gone missing after arriving at LHR on 18/03 - so I suppose that will be another 60+ days before I can get a replacement - might be time to escalate my complaint to the Postal Review Panel as this is getting ridiculous.

Bad luck, Bob. You may be right with regard to the Postal Review Panel - it could be that lots of people are having their vaping gear go astray.

Just to add to what Adam said. If all the flavours are the same brand, personally I'd go higher on the watermelon and less on the mint. Otherwise you'll probably end up with a minty vape with a tiny hint of strawberry mate.

That's a joke mate, you're not having any luck with post at the moment :(

Good and bad things happened this morning.

Good - Got a tracking number now for the Vap'Potes order. Got the vacuum out and a nice soft bristle brush. Gave the burners and combustion chamber of my boiler a clean out. It's working a lot better now. I normally give it a clean when it gets to the stage that the burners are clicking on and off during hot water production. Makes a big difference on the boiler I've got :)

Bad - Postwoman knocked on the door earlier, with my parcel for the Dominion juices in her hand. The parcel was rattling (glass bottles had obviously broken) and the padded envelope was saturated with e-liquid. I told her I was rejecting the parcel. So we'll see how good Dominion are with CS now, I've sent them an e-mail telling them I've refused delivery :(

Bad luck seems to be all around today - good news about the boiler, though! :)

I think somebody (or a few somebodies) at LHR has worked out that any small buff package with a bit of weight to it coming in from the orient is worth a few bob

:facepalm: Doh, sorry mate, had a senior moment :laugh:

Bit of both I think. Probably not enough bubble wrap from the juice company and RM's football team being a bit too energetic.

Seems like it mate. I've been doing my own servicing on the boiler for years now. I begrudge paying £70 call out and £30 an hour for an engineer to come out and apply a vacuum cleaner to the boiler internals. When I can do the job myself in under half an hour. I have to change the water thermistors every couple of years and I've put a new circuit board in it. The boiler is 15 years old and still going strong. I'd never touch anything gas related on it though, for obvious reasons. Everything else is just basic plumbing and making sure there's no leaks.

If it's marked as a Gift with a value of $5 or less, that's probably another giveaway.

Morning all :)
After that, I'll be stocking up on nicotine to freeze, just in case the TPD does sneak in when we're not looking :mad:
Last week I was thinking that perhaps some time later this year, I'll get a small table top freezer and stock up with nicotine, and perhaps a few of the specific blends of flavouring such as my favourites from Chefs - Now I'm thinking I'll start stocking up now.
If it gets left too late, there could/would be a mad scramble for nicotine at least, so I'd rather buy the brand I want while I can get it hassle free.
I'll also get stock of my favourite brands/flavours where no DIY concentrates are available (yet) - who knows, concentrates may become available if things start looking uncertain.

I can't see how they could prevent sales of flavouring, but I'll bet they think of something to restrict, perhaps with blends!

Then I'll continue increasing my stock of tanks and coils - I have spares of things like 1 each Spinner, iPOW, MVP2, and plenty of iSticks!

It's stupid ..we shouldn't have to do these things! :(
