Noob buying from healthcabin, thoughts needed

[kebabkiller]

Hi guys (girls),

Ok so over xmas i promised the girlfriend that i would give up smoking, after trying the usual NRT stuff before i thought i would give vaping a try, and it works, not have a regular cig for a few weeks and not really wanted one.

I bought a titan tank from totally wicked (forgive me i was naive but their shop is 10 mins from my house) which i later find out is just a relabelled Joyetech 510t. I like the size and don't want to go for any of the huge looking monsters that look cool but not so discreet(my job wont allow vaping indoors but hide behind a shelf and no one will ever know)

So after spending a small fortune at TW, and leaving with a VERY small bag, i stumble online and find healthcabin. I started filling my basket up with everything i think i want(Always want more than i can afford), i also want to try mixing my own and trying new flavours getting a bit bored of the regular tobacco ones, so my current shopping cart is as follows:

115ml unflavoured eliquid PG base75/25
115ml propylene glycol
10ml concentrate in peanut butter,whiskey,cherry,blueberry,dr pepper cola,toffee,red cola,coffee,black chocolate,vanilla,vodka,hazelnut and ruyan4.
2 x 5pc 510t empty cartridges
2 x 510t atomisers
2 x 5pc boge 510d Low Res cartomisers
4 x 5pc boge 510d regular cartomisers
3 x 510 65mm joye 510 auto batteries
and an array of bottles and syringes

so my first question is do any of you think i've gone totally ott on my first order?
secondly, what are peoples views on the concentrates, good/bad taste etc?
and finally with shipping via DHL what is the likelihood of import and customs taxes to the UK????

Thanks in advance guys

First off welcome to ECF. Secondly you can never go totally overboard (personal opinion). As far as taste goes I can't help you there. I don't mix my own but I do like juices with a lot flavor. Shipping I have no clue. I live in the US and buy from US suppliers. So I don't know what the regulations are. You may want to ask in the UK forums located here..... UK Forum

Hi thanks for the reply, i was just worried i was ordering a bit to much, also it seems i cant post in the UK forums, i'm guessing that a minimum post/time on the forum exists before i can.

Yes you need 5 posts before you can post anywhere aside from new members. Your at 2 now they will come easily.

Hey Keba,

Vapor Mamma (here it is Vaprmamma) New to this forum, but not others. My advice and experience, don't buy the 'slowboat' DHL stuff, shipping is WAYYY too much, when you could have spent it on something here. There are plenty of USA suppliers where you can get good quality stuff from. Wizard Labs is and comes highly recommended, but they are so busy, they often close their checkout because of so many orders. It's open right now (til the 18th) if you need something. One Stop DIY Shop is another place. Flavor Apprentice is great for flavorings, but some other suppliers carry their stuff for cheaper, also check Loranns. Read my blog for DIY stuff at vapormamma at blogspot dot com. Be Cool, VM

Sorry, just saw you are in the UK...don't know if DHL isn't your best option...but man...the cost of shipping from the US?? Don't you have any other options there??

hey Vapr,

I just had a look on Wizard Labs some impressive stuff on their site, unfortunately they only ship to the US and i'm in the UK. DHL from China normally takes about the same as from the US from experience, but i will keep Wizard in mind if they ever sort out shipping to the UK or i can order and use an importer
