Is it regular airmail you guys are using to get your stuff from inawera?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

"Air Mail (Shipping to -> Ireland 0.285 KG)"

so.. i guess regular air mail?

And it only takes a few days?

I've been working out costs using a basic ejuice calculator - to make 755ml of 18mg using 52mg fluid and without flavouring would cost €49 including postage from the UK.

I'd need to get 400ml (377ml) of 36mg from Inawera to make the same amount for 18mg and it would cost €52 including postage.

I'm not factoring in pure VG or PG but they can be picked up here anyway, in these amounts the prices are pretty much the same so I think I may go for the UK site.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

few days to a week, i think my last order was shipped on a friday arrived on tuesday/wednesday

iirc someone here ordered on a monday and had it by the end of the week.

check the price of the 0mg pg on inawera and the price you'd get in Ireland, might work out cheaper to order it all from them

also, link to the uk site?

It only works out cheaper with certain quantities, if you got a litre from Inawera I'm sure it would be more ecomical than the British crowd. The good deal in the UK shop is the 266ml@52mg PG.
You'd only have to use 175ml to make half a litre of 18mg - you'd have to use 250ml of the Inawera 36mg.

You can get VG and PG in boots and at certain chemists...

Even better;
500ml of 18mg with 120ml of 75mg from Nicvape - €27.50 not including dilutants!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

thats ntb at all

although id be scared of having 75mg nic id prob drop it on my trousers, trip going to the bathroom to wash up and faceplant myself into my own crotch poisoning myself

Made up some PG with Menthol flavouring juice 5 days ago and the colour is still clear as water.

I thought that maybe it would change colour and resemble any other Menthol juice that I bought, ie a light honey colour.

Should I let it sit a while longer, or should I just get stuck in?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

if it tastes good, get stuck in

although it might taste better in a weeks time
all up to you basically

Must look into that so, be handy to get both those in a place here. Whilst cheap to buy it drives the delivery charge up.

Works out better from Inawera.com
2 x 100ml @ 38mg = 200ml 76mg @ €26:58 inc. delivery.

Will get a 30ml bottle from NicVape sometime though to see what it's like.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

how is that cheaper? he's getting 500ml of 18mg from the other place

did you just misread? or am I worse at maths these days than I dared imagine

After he has mixed with dilutant.

125 ml nicvape 75mg= 27:50
200 ml inawera 76mg = 26:58
Both including delivery.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

but isn't 2 100ml bottles of 38mg just 200ml of 38mg?

My bad

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

lol
i am now massively less confused

derra

lol got all conflustered trying to think of best value.

For the moment i will just wait till inawera order comes in.
Be great to get a source of PG/VG in a shop here, then maybe get a bottle of that from NicVape.

Totally Wicked are sourcing Nic juice from here i believe.

ps: try that lychee yet?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

my mother's a pharmacist, now she works in carlow but she said it'd be pretty rare for pharmacies to stock it these days. they'd be able to order it in probably but it'd be cheaper to get online

that said if you do find a pharmacy that regularly stocks it, could be good

With the likes of NicVape, once ya add in VG/PG, the delivery cost goes through the roof.
Handy enough in Inawera just getting enough at a time that's not too costly, well dirt cheap compared to buying stuff off the shelf.
No harm in asking anyway if i pop into Boots.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

aye, well if enough people get into mixing here maybe a small group buy

although it'd probably work out cheaper for everyone to pay shipping from inawera than it would to ship ireland to ireland

derra

Possible hassle with customs etc
Feck that, Inawera will do me just fine.

Boots in the north definitely stock VG (glycerin) - less than €1 for 200ml. Should be available here too? Its in the cough bottle section.

I bought Glycerin at TRACEY'S PHARMACY on Eden Quay. 100ml for €2.59.

Pricey. If Boots stock it, it should be a lot cheaper than that for twice as much.

Don't forget to dilute with 10% water and shake vigorously. Its too thick at 100%.

Anyone know what the max strength base is allowed by customs? I know it's 75mg in the UK....maybe it's a EU general rule. Reason I ask is that several of the US sites have 100mg available...be cheaper delivery than two 50mgs.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

is it actualy 75mg in the uk? i was listening to some uk podcast last week or the week before and for some reason I got left with the impression that 75 wasn't a hard limit

Bubba9

Think so. There's a sticky on UK Vapers about buying pure nicotine and they seem to say for sure it's 75mg. Totally Wicked have just introduced a Platinum Ice 75 this week so probably just on the limit. I've seen a few Chinese sites where you can get pure nicotine which would be around 1000mg I think. It would last a good few years but madness to order it.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

aye, that's like.. pure poisonisnt it?

even getting some on the skin can kill

Bubba9

Yeah...and probably criminal to send or receive it in the post
