Literally about press the button on my first adventure into mixing as well.

Where did you buy that lot from?

I'm looking on chefsvapour in the uk. They seem to have the biggest selection of concentrates I've seen.

I got the base which is already mixed with nic,pg & vg,JH Raheny put m on to them,If you buy over the 30euro you get 7% off,that is why I bought the syringes,to get it over 30e.http://www.vapebase.de/Vape-Bases/VGPG-Vape-Bases/50/50-Vape-Bases/1-Liter-Vape-Base-50-50-VGPG-12mg-ml::24.html

The flavours are from here http://vapable.com/product-category/diy/capella/
Capella is said to be one of the best & a sale on.

Got some Tilt and Sour Jawa from abstractvape.eu this morning and my MBV sample pack from cloudhousevapor arrived too.

Let us know how that tilt is. I got the Mmm doughnuts this morn and it's lovely stuff.

Mmmm Donuts is lovely alright but im beinging to think its vanilla custard after a few days.

Picked up some Bantha Milk of abstract vape as well. Not too sure about it. Liked it at the start but not sure if the blueberry flavour is strong enough.
Great vape production out of both juices.
He kindly threw in some KTM(Toasted marshmellow and Kiwi)and Sin samplers as well.

Cheers for that. Far better value compared to the starters kit I was looking at originally.

Went a bit mad on vapable then and bought 13 concentrates!!! :eek:

I'm pretty surprised it's taken this long for you to get into DIY given the beans you've been spending.:pac:

When I smelled it first I though 'Créme Brulee' right away, but even tasting it now [well into my second fill of the day] I definitely get sticky doughnut It's not a million miles off a vanilla custard though, I can see what you mean. Good job I love that too

I got chewie cherry also, not tried it yet, and they threw in a sample of sin - lustful liquid. Know anywhere I can get info on the sin juices? Just never heard of them

Trond

Presume you've all seen the POTV ejuice calculator?

Its free on android and a lot better looking than some ive looked at so far.

Bantha milk isn't supposed to be blueberry :pac: That may be why the blueberry isn't strong :P it's raspberry slush flavour.

Yeah I know,I have spent 1000's over the last few years,just thinking there,it's been 8 years since I worked driving a truck,2 knees had to be replaced,long waiting list.
Now my beans have run out,I'm going through juice as fast as a freight train using all sub ohm coils,so I need to get cheap & cheerful juices.
The one big reason that I didn't mix my own before,was pure lazyness,needs must nowadays.

I looked at Liberty Flight for the concentrated juice yesterday,but they were out of stock of Capella vanilla custard & they were a little dearer.

RIchieNouveau

I'm also driven by economics rather than hobbyism. Now that I'm saving money building ny own coils with the side effect of using much more juice, DIYing seems like the only sensible option.

You're right,to think a litre of base is a 1000ml,that is alot of 10ml bottles of juice,I know you need to use flavourings,on a 30ml bottle,you will only use about half a mil from each flavour bottle.

Congrats on your Marriage & have a good Honeymoon,do you need a Valet with you:D:D

I strongly recommend Decadent Vapours concentrates there.

Must get an order in to Vapebase.de at some point for the plain.

Just say that I bought a 10ml bottle of this http://decadentvapours.com/shop/flavours/rhubarb-custard-2/
How much of the pre-mixed base would I have to use for that 10ml bottle.

I mix at about 10% - so say 90ml base to 10ml concentrate.

That's the starting point I use tof as a reference when mixing a new flavour the first time

Received IPV Mini 2 70w this morning from thebestshop,nice device ,just one word of warning,it's very slippy in the hand and probably needs a skin,be careful.

Hello Vaping forum.
I was trying to quit smoking for a while and after a bunch of research I finally pulled the trigger on my first build (ordered from bestshop)
EHPro Kayfun V4
Smoktech XPro M50 65W VW Box MOD - Color : Black
Samsung INR 18650-25R 2500mAh 30A Battery
Bunch of AWG27 wire and japanese cotton.
And a few tobacco flavoured liquids to start off with:
10ml Dekang Gold Label - Flavor : Western Conqueror, Strength : 12mg
and
10ml Hangsen Premium eLiquid - Flavor : HS Storm, Strength : 18mg
Overall: about 30 quid more expensive than the same build from china, but hopefully I'll get it by tomorrow instead of end of July.

Wow, thats a great first time set up, very advanced.
Do you have someone to help build your coils? Plenty of youtube tutorials anyway.
Its funny you specced such a nice kit and then bought the cheapest (generally considered cr@ppy) eliquids to put in it!

Like buying a Ferrari and filling it with Tesco petrol.

It's a little smooth alright, but I have mine a few weeks now and not dropped it once yet ... probably jinxed that now

Hopefully not,I tend to put skins on all my mods to stop scrapes and scuffs so I'm probably just not accustomed to a 'naked' mod:D

Well, the crappy liquids are just for the time being so I can learn how to properly assemble coils/play around with the setup without wasting 30 quid worth of fancy schmansy liquid. It actually proven to be a good thing, since I already wasted the entire bottle of dekang one, just because I didnt fasten the top screw properly and it just leaked everywhere.

Unfortunately the EHPro kayfun I got was fairly leaky, the resistance was jumping all over the shop and some parts that were suppoused to just come out by themselves wouldn't bulge so I sent it off for replacement. Bart from TBS was super professional and quick with it too (thanks Bart!).

The leaking is very likely to be down to your wicking. I've 3 of them (one of which is the EHPro version). I've found less is more with them.

Also by slightly tilting your coil it makes for much easier wicking due to the slight angle involved. Basically pushing the wick back onto the ridge in the opposite direction.

RIchieNouveau

That was a good idea on the cheap juice. I wasted a lot of Blue Label on my first orchid v4 build. Should have used the Hangsen.

Leaking wasnt when I was taking hits/vaping, it was just leaking trough the airholes when I was filling it up and letting it rest.
From what I can understand its due to very loose part 9, since even when fully assembeled the juice control know was wobbly (I unfortunately cant post links, but you can find the full part guide online no problem) and I couldnt get to part 9 because of the little insulator on top of it thats just wouldnt move. Its suppoused to just pop out, on my unit it felt like it was welded shut.

Lol, fair point!
We've all leaked juice all over the shop mate.
Many a fruity smelling pocket I've had!

Ah ok got you....in that case the only tip id have is when refilling use a needle tip bottle. Even my genuine one leaks sometime when im filling with just a standard bottle tip.

If its a bit im thinking it is maybe try putting it in boiling water and use a pliers?

Remember when you'd return from a fag and non smokers would complain that you smelled like an ashtray, well in the future it'll be "would you go 'way, bang of RY4 off ya!"

Mother in law complains my 'office/mancave' smells like a sweet shop.
Better than my farts is my stock response.
