Does anybody know what size the screws are the hold the body together on the Kbox 70w? One of the bottom ones has fallen out on one of mine and I'm having to hold it on with a rubber band. Equally where can you buy the screws. TIA.
Mine is a KBox Mini ..so no bottom screws - but once you know what size, there's plenty of places sell them from Ebay to B&Q, Screwfix etc.,
If someone can't help with the screw type/size, then best take the screw to one of the DIY stores and ask there.

You may recall I posted details about the vaping Home Brewers (VHB/Vaping Home Mixers at Chefs) - well, having a quick look through the various recipes, I realise that it doesn't actually say what percentages of a finished recipe/concentrate to use to make them into e-liquid with base liquid ...or at least, I can't see it if it is there. Any ideas anyone? ...just wondering if I'm missing something obvious :laugh:

Though i have never voted Tory in my life, i think Bozzer may just be the right choice to start with :laugh: I would happily vote for him if it meant us keeping out of that corrupt bunch of so & so`s :)
Yes but he's a Tory, and a total P**t, don't forget we've had 'im as Mayor down 'ere and he wasted money like it was going out of fashion what with the Boris Bus and the 2nd hand German water cannons which the Home Office minister refused to give permission for their use and are therefore only worth their scrap value.

Yes, a bit 'batty' is indeed a pleasant change ...and he's not stupid either. I just don't want him putting others off! :laugh:

I wouldn't put anything past them after some of the stupid things they've said in recent weeks.

I thought the cross border thing was us needing to register with other countries to send to them ...not sure about receiving stuff.
As I understand it from recent newsletters, our vendors need to register with each country that they want to despatch to, and couldn't do the registration until today. Seems it only takes a day or two, but not sure what may have changed for EU countries sending to us, but it could be purely a UK requirement.
There's no obvious warning on the JB site, so I think it'll probably be OK.
Most EU countries have nothing in place at the moment, we are the only country that does, so legally no EU Country can sell to any other EU Country, if they do then they are breaking the law, the registration form has to be accepted by each EU country that you wish to sell to. :shock:

Alchemist cupboard have posted on two other forums offering a 20% discount code sitewide,all this weekend.
I don't understand what's going on,not complaining,but i thought all discounts had to stop.
Hmmm, might be up close to you on Monday, EVS sent me a dead mod, they have said to return it to them for exchange, and as I now have plenty of time and free rail travel thought I would pop it back to them personally, haven't been to L'pool/Birkenhead for years.

Yes, I saw that, but don't see how a recipe using perhaps 5-6 different flavours at different percentages and perhaps various makers can be made into a concentrate and then used for an e-liquid ...what percentage of the finished concentrate?

One example is this one: 5 flavours, 3 brands all different percentages in the mix - (I know Chefs recommend 15% of the finished concentrate to mix with base):
Kals moronic admirers concentrate
TFA Ripe Strawberry 7%
CAP V1 Vanilla Custard 3.5%
LO Banana Cream 4%
TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust 3%
TFA Bavarian Cream 1.5%

If I didn't know Chefs recommendation, how would I know looking at this and that list of single percentages per individual flavour?

7+3.5+4+3+1.5=19 so 19% flavour then add Nic, PG & VG as required so you could add 1% PG then 3% VG Nic & 77% VG to make 20/80 mix, for 100ml just use ml instead of %

Just realised that you only want to make the concentrate, so the concentrate would add up to 19% so to make 100ml concentrate you would have to multiply each flavour by 5.2632 (100/19)

Multiplying each % by 5 would give you 95ml much easier to work out

So the percentages add up to 19, and that's the percentage (or mls.) of concentrate I'd add to the base liquid (19ml concentrate to 81ml base for 100ml finished e-liquid?) ...even though Chefs recommend 15%?

This is another:
RASPBERRY LEMONADE

Lemon TPA at 7%
raspberry CLASSIKOOL at 8%
EM at 0.5%

...all the parts add up to 15.5% - so I'd make the recipe 15.5% added to the base of 84.5mls to make 100ml finished e-liquid?

No, if I wanted to make the concentrate (I'd need to be sure I'd like it) I'd make each percentage quantity into mls and mix it that way ....what I then don't know is how to dilute the finished concentrate with base liquid ...the percentage needed with the base.

For the time being, I only use 100% VG base at .3mg.

Well that's the way I would see it - if it is a chef's mix, then you could ask them about the difference

RASPBERRY LEMONADE

Lemon TPA at 7%
raspberry CLASSIKOOL at 8%
EM at 0.5%

...all the parts add up to 15.5% - so I'd make the recipe 15.5% added to the base of 84.5mls to make 100ml finished e-liquid?
That's what I would do, does your base include Nic, which should be enough for 100ml and not 81 or 84.5ml unless you are not too worried about the reduction in Nic that the added flavours will make, it's one of the reasons I do not make up a base mix, but prefer to just make the 100ml from scratch

Did you see my edits to the above reply I made

Is there actually a shop there Bob?
I've got my old mum in hospital at the moment,chest infection.She went in yesterday afternoon.
Strange,it seemed to affect her mentally.She went all doodle ally.
I wouldn't mind popping along and seeing your mug:)But i really don't know what's happening.
I googled the evs address and i don't know of shops on that section of the road.
Anyway see what you're doing and if you come up i'll try and get there.

That would be easy, say you like the finished product, then decide to make up 100ml (or 95ml using the x 5 method) concentrate using the 19% example, then for every 100ml finished product you would add 19ml concentrate, 81ml base, you just have to make sure the concentrate is well mixed and given a good shake before use, although to be honest it's not something I would do, as I said above preferring to make the finished product from scratch using the different ingredients, using the desktop program ejuicemeup : Download eJuice Me Up Free

Looking on Google Maps it looks like a private address, might still give it a go though, I did email them to let them know so will give them a ring when I get to Lime Street (10:38) take me about another 30' - 45' to get to them
