I can think of no other reason than cold hard cash!
They've had the safety results for what they can tell at this stage, and there's been absolutely nothing to worry about as long as equipment & liquid is made to safe standards.

I hope we don't finish up with some ridiculously restrictive legislation, but I am at least intending to be as prepared as possible.

'When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains no matter how improbable, must be the truth' Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

I didn't get this far with something I once thought impossible only to let some blinkered band of fools snatch it from me!
I'll do all I can to make sure I have all I need to carry on for a few years at least!
I'll concentrate on getting a handful of bottles of the 72mg VG nicotine from Chefs for now. Think it'll be best in glass bottles though?

I gathered all the scattered stocks of 'spare stuff' from my cupboard shelves today and put it all in a storage box to keep it all together. I have lots of batteries and a fair number of tanks. Always keep a good stock of coils for them, but I'll increase them gradually.
I'm buying more 3mg liquids too - I want to get as low as I can to reduce nicotine dependency!

I have some of his 6mg base VG - very good.

Hope Dominion get it back and send you some better packed replacements soon, and that RM at least make an effort to improve things.

I have read that brown glass bottles are the best for storing/freezing nicotine Trish, filled right to the brim, to keep air out :)

Is there no expansion when freezing nicotine Terry?
I've seen these and think I'll get 10-12 of them Plastic and glass bottle and jar suppliers 125ml traditional amber glass medicine bottle with lid

Trish have you tried Hedons bite I'm quite tempted especially with that offer
I haven't Marcus ...don't like melon much. I have the other four though. I can recommend the Dragonscape & Para Mour, and I also have the Samba Sun ...clementine forward from what I've found so far. Not yet tried the Sacre Coeur ...not lot of smell or taste though.

I need to be careful with all but Dragonscape (70%VG) -
I've informed UKECig that the ratios are wrong on a couple (Samba Sun is 60VG/40).
With the Para Mour 50/50, I add some Juicy Pear (Vape Kitchen 100%VG) and some Vanilla Custard (Avant Garde 100%VG)
I add some vanilla to the Samba Sun 50/50, not sure yet what will make the Sacre Couer better ..perhaps raspberry and cream.

I assume that would be a 50/50 ready mixed Bob, seeing as i vape 50/50 ?

Yes, BUT don't forget that most flavours would come in PG and any flavours added would increase the PG and also decrease the mg/ml of nic by that percentage, another reason for not getting readymix.

I have just ordered a freezer pack of 72mg VG nic base (5 x 200ml in glass bottles) for £71.99 inc shipping (that works out at £7.199/100ml) from pirates vape recommended on UKV.

That is a much better price than anywhere else. Have also checked my supplies and noticed that PG dilutant has an expiry date (roughly a year from bottling) whereas VG doesn't.

That's good to hear re the expiry of VG! :) The PG expiry won't apply while it's frozen.
The Piratesvape sounds good! But, I've already started getting bottles of the Chefs 72% Nicotine - another on the way, but it's in tough plastic bottles, so I'll put it into amber glass 125ml ones if that sounds a good idea ...thinking about expansion.

See my latest reply to Terry re nic base - well worth it
Yes, it is!

for a big order I've found it cheaper now :)
This is something I hadn't known: Aqua Glycerine (AG - With is VG with 20% pure distilled water) - I thought I'd need to add 5% to my Chefs VG before using it with nicotine and flavouring, but am now wondering if it should be more!?

Just playing catch up trish, i see bob has answered that with the link
Yes, thanks Terry.

AG is normally 10% pure distilled water, which is what you would add to pure VG to thin it out.

Brilliant cheers Bob, i was missing the target bit at the bottom. :) In all honesty, i think i will just stock up on nic, as the other ingredients should stay readily available !

That's what I did, have over 1000ml of 100mg/ml nic in the freezer, good to be prepared for what ever is coming. :D

As i mentioned earlier Trish i think i will just start stocking up on nic, as i don`t reckon anything else should/could be affected by any bans :)

Just been reading up on it and recommended to leave about half inch at the top for VG, PG can be filled right to the top.

Wondered if you'd pop in on this one Burnie, max we can legally get over here is 72mg, but that's good enough - I think we are all stocking up just in case :laugh:
