3 days in and I'm totally hooked on the e-cig, so now my mind is turning towards liquids. Now as I'll have spent £100 already on hardwear, I'm trying not to go mad on the liquids, so have given myself a few options;

1. get enough different 5mls from liberty flights to see me through to next pay day then order a couple of larger bottle of my 2/3 faves

2. order a couple of larger bottles now

3. go diy, get the highest liquid from TW and a bunch of flavours (if I go down this route does anyone know where I can get some amaretto and coffee flavourings?)

Obviouslly #3 is cheapest, but what would people recommend?

I'm quite happy wwith the idea of diy'ing my liquids, I went and got some glycerin today as I wanted to cut down the liquids I had a little (was shocked to find 200ml in boots for £1 when 40ml is 70p from supercook, was also able to get little child proof medicine bottles from the pharmacy for 30p, which will be perfect for mixing) I also got hold of some almond supercook flavouring and am sat happily vaping my own no nic juice at the moment as I have a raging headache and I want to vape and be sure the headache isn't nic od. My problem at the moment with it is that most of the lorann flavours I think I would enjoy are the ** ones so unless they are ok to use, or I can find those flavours somewhere else I might be out of luck :(

Meh I use like 40 lorann flavors seem to work fine for me. Best way to tell if u have a nic od is when you go lie down and close your eyes feels like everything is moving, as in you're dizzy? Drink a lot of water and shake it off, watch a movie or something to distract yourself should go away in a few mins.

Which would suggest that it's just one of my usual headaches, as I have had it since about 2pm!

I think I'll try the coffee lorann then, worst that can happen is I loose an atty right.

what percentages are you using to mix?? is it all just 0 nic juice?? i usually go 50 percent unflavored juice 25 pg and 25 vg followed by 1 drop of loranns for every ml of liquid so if i made a batch with 5ml liquid 2.5 pg 2.5 vg i'd add 5 drops flavor

this was 10% flavour (turns out the little 0-1ml syringes the vet keeps giving me to medicate the animals are going to be very useful too, I have already claimed one as the nicotine syringe)

While I have you, another question, I have seen people cutting the vg with vodka for a better throat hit & thinner liquid, does this work with other alcohols, I was thinking almond flavouring, and cut with amaretto would be lovely?

I dont cut with alcohol at all, doesn't really do much for me. If i'm looking for a big throat hit off 0 nic or 6mg liquid I use my Iolite or one of my other mods. The only time I cut with alcohol was 5ml jd 2 ml pg 2ml vg and 1ml jd and a few drops of cola flavoring. Was trying to create jd and coke e liquid.

Crash - so from all your experimentation what is your favourite mix so far? Nice review of the iolite, look forward to your review of the GGT! :) I ordered one as well, hopefully should arrive next week.

Check me out for fast shipping of e-liquid within the UK, although I will be on holidays between 9-13 August.

Sorry mate I tend to mix my own e liquids these days, but if I get lazy then I shall order from you :)

Are the double stared ones the "bad for atty" or "caramel, popcorn lung" ones ?
If the later youain't gonna know about it for a while!!!!

Dunno but after pumping tar into my lungs for 10 years I doubt a bit of sugar will do any damage, plus I feel great, so no reason to think they're doing any harm, and I've been using the same atty for over a month now, still going strong.

Yeah, I'm not overly arsed about the affect on atty's.

The dreaded "popcorn lung" will takes years to have any appreciable effects, having read up on it I want to steer as far away as possible however unlikely it is that it'll be proven to be a problem in these liquids.

If anything I'm more worried about the vast amount of juice I end up drinking, those drops of hot juice going into my mouth are really starting to add up 8-o
