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.

Cheaper still here. £29.99 per 500ml = £5.998 per 100ml. Don't know about delivery though.

Reason I discounted them was plastic bottles, which means having to buy amber glass bottles as well, and the fact that the POTV discount no longer worked (reported to POTV)

Looking back over my old fishing bait suppliers didn't turn much up, however one guy on ebay is selling Cupcake World flavours at £4.75/30ml with free delivery, one of them being English Trifle, which I've seen mentioned on here a few times recently. If anyone does take a look be sure to read the whole listing as one or two of the flavours contain oil, but they are clearly noted

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:

Getting some in a freezer sounds like a sane idea if you've got the space for a load. I'm going to continue to drop my nic until I hopefully don't need it, and hopefully VG/PG/flavours can still be acquired even if harsh regs come in.

Down to 2mg/ml these days and can go hours without vaping if I need to without feeling stressed out

I didn't think about that.I was making 50/50 so I split it down the middle.
Bob if my nic base is vg based,will it make a big difference to the final ratio

if you are adding 50/50 PG/VG dilutant then you would end up with something like 45/55 PG/VG depending on the amount made/nic strength of course, that's why it is always best to use a calculator that includes target PG/VG as well - apart from the one Terry uses (and I found was already installed on my 'puter) there is always the Steam-Engine one as well.

You're doing well Adam, Nic base and the actual mods & atties are the main things, but a lot of that will probably be available from China etc., just a matter of it not getting nicked by customs on import, other stuff like wick, wire, flavourings & PG/VG dilutant will all still be available because they can be used for other things.

Thanks Bob, doing it gradually I haven't really noticed any withdrawal symptoms.

At 2mg/ml you only need 2.8% 72 mg/ml nic base as well so 100ml would make me over 3.5 litres of juice. I might get that vape inc 72mg VG nic for £8.50 and then just PG/VG.

I'm still using a mix of strengths, still got bottles of 18, 12, 6 and 3mg, try to keep the majority of my ones on the go in the 3 to 6 range with just the odd one above that, but I still need to be vaping most of the time, sometimes I'll go an hour without noticing I haven't had a vape though :lol:

Sounds like that 100ml from Vape Inc would be ideal for you, probably last you a good few years :laugh:

PG nic base is good for 50/50 and heavier PG mixes, but if you use 50/50 & VG heavier juices then you are best getting VG nic base.

AG is normally 10% pure distilled water, which is what you would add to pure VG to thin it out.
Yes, but I thought straight VG would only need around 5% ...not the 20% mentioned there.

Nice! I was hoping to be permanently on 3mg by now, but it hasn't happened yet. Averages out around 3-4% I reckon.

I have 3x100ml 72mg bottles now, so will freeze 2 of them right away and get another to add to them. Should last me a very long time!

I'm still using a mix of strengths, still got bottles of 18, 12, 6 and 3mg, try to keep the majority of my ones on the go in the 3 to 6 range with just the odd one above that, but I still need to be vaping most of the time, sometimes I'll go an hour without noticing I haven't had a vape though :lol:
I buy my main ones in 6mg and also 3mg and mix them. I also have a bottle of 0mg in two that I add a little bit of randomly - that way, I'm never sure what strength I'm using exactly so don't think too hard about it! :)

My list of complaints to RM CS is growing - the Drip Tip delivered today just popped through the letter box - no siggy asked for - I'm at the point now that I am going to complain every time they do something wrong.
Sometimes, complaining is the only way - inconvenient that you need to do it, but somehow they . I feel bad if I need to repeatedly complain, but sometimes it's the only way they can tell how bad the problem is becoming. Three times I've had an Anadin Aspirin & Paracetamol tablet delivered instead of the green Ibuprofen capsules ..despite me stating the difference on the notes each time! I now need to make a formal complaint - some people may not realise the difference when it's sent as a direct substitute - and we all know that there are those who are allergic to aspirin or Paracetamol! Same if it's mixed up the other way around. They are in effect handling pharmaceutical drugs, so need to be properly trained to read labels!
