    Taste is good and vase production from a standard ce4 tank is immense compared to standard !

    I buy the 50/50 nicotine base from vapebase.de and use flavour concentrates from TJUICE. Don't know if I'd be in to making it how you are but then the flavours used in real juice are probably food additives anyway, not sure on that.

    I YouTube'd it and that's what is used in them so I said I'd try it out, also watered down some 24mg tobacco liquid that was cutting me in two, and the vap production is increased tenfold

    Interesting. If you're enjoying the increased vapour and will be going back to buying premade juice then go for max VG types, there are drawbacks with wicking and flavour but you can work around these.

    I plan on upgrading my setup to a variable voltage battery with a wickless clearomizer to increase vap and flavour, and also to dispense with the dry burn taste you get, what's the best tank for a variable voltage setup ?

    All clearomisers have a wick, you just don't see it on some.

    When you say variable voltage, are you thinking of a I stick type device or a spinner. Hint: go the istick route, with an aspire nautilus or aerotank mega. Vaping will never be the same, until you go sub ohm in a kanger subtank or similar that is.

    I do the same thing with Vapebase just got a litre of 50/50 6mg this week :)

    how is TJuice? can you recommend any flavours?

    I usually like Berry \ Fruit but open to anything apart from Tobacco flavour

    oh does anyone know where you can buy some decent 30ml glass bottles like this one?

    I've never vaped a wickless clearo. I've heard good things but I've never seen one and went frm aerotanks/Nautilus like Fred recommends to rebuildables like the Kayfun 3.1 and Taifun GT, both clones which are said to work just as well for 10/15 rather than 100. These types give a similar but better experience than the Nautilus etc but you'll have to make your own coils which is quite easy and quick after you beat the learning curve.

    I'm using the Subtank mini and Aqua V4 now. You should try a subtank before you buy one, because it's a different kind of vape to what you're used to, but it's hard to beat for me. Istick 30w is probably the best value device to start you off on variable voltages/wattages.

    Red Astaire: Like Cherry tunes the cough sweets/soothers.

    Black n Blue: similar to RA above, but more like blackjack sweets with menthol. I'm a fan but it's too sweet for an ADV for me.

    Vamp Vape: coconut and I think hints of cherry. Nice, too sweet for an ADV.

    Skip Col Custard which is bland and no match for better custards.

    Jaque Le Mon: interesting but not great for me, lemon sherbet with something weird about it. Worth a shot I'd say. No idea about the bottles, I'm on the lookout for various sizes myself so if you see any for a good price let me know!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,906 ✭✭✭EGriff


    You can get similar bottles on amazon, they're surprisingly cheap too.

    That's my intention to go sub ohm with a variable voltage battery, reason I want to go all in is I don't want to end up sick of my ego t and end up on the analogs again,

    Would you recommend a mt3 tank as an interim until I order in the stuff I really want?

    Personally, I would go with an aspire ego clearo, such as this one http://www.thebestshop.eu/shop/clearomizers/553-aspire-et-s-bvc-glassomizer-set.html

    Or a kanger Evod 2 or TD3 http://www.thebestshop.eu/shop/clearomizers/418-kanger-t3d-bdc-clearomizer.html

    Pretty sure the Eleaf GS Air works on an ego and its a far better tank than any of the above or any of the basic kangers on the market.

    Similar price as well (think I paid €10.50 for one).

    Be careful using that type of flavouring. You might be better off just buying standard concentrates designed for e juice.

    Apparently some food flavourings have oils in them that aren't safe to vape.....

    You have to make sure it's water based, I checked the ingredients and it was water and lemon food flavour that's all

    It is, but it would be completely wasted on an ego battery.

    Edit: maybe it wouldn't, I was thinking of the Melo.

    Never even thought of that side of things! Not sure how it would operate at the lower voltages, probably nowhere near as good..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,625 ✭✭✭fergus1001

    I got an aspire clearo today there is no comparison to the ce4 consistent vaping now and no burnt taste at all


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,625 ✭✭✭fergus1001


    Just an update on my own e liquid it is the most flavour I ever got from an e liquid, it's like eating a sherbert lemon candy

    What brand of flavouring is it and where did you get it ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,625 ✭✭✭fergus1001


    It's just bog standard goodals from supervalue !

    And made a batch with pure vanilla extract and it's gorgeous had to use 100% VG because the vanilla extract thins out the VG a lot but it's lovely for sitting down in the evening, the other half loves it too because the vanilla aroma around the place reminds her of home made cookies ha


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 635 ✭✭✭Dr Bill


    Some of ye might have the answer to this,how do I reduce the flavour from a mix I made up,added 20% to a base mix instead of 15%. It's too bloody strong and its a 50ml bottle so dont really want to dump it.
    Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

    If its used to clean then I definitely wouldn't vape it.

    Safety & Toxicology

    Vapor from isopropyl alcohol is flammable and should be kept away from heat sources. Consumption, inhalation and absorption of isopropyl alcohol leads to poisoning. Work in a well ventilated area and wear gloves to prevent isopropyl alcohol poisoning.

    It's the same stuff thats in wipes we use for pre-injections.

    Can't imagine it's any good to vaporise and inhale!

    Does anyone know if Heisenberg is ready to vape when made from concentrate or does it need to steep

    It's shake and vape but it does mellow a touch after a few days.

    Made my own liquids last week. Made about 20 different flavours totalling 2 litres. It cost me roughly €40/50 to make a litre. I have to say I am very impressed. I doubt I will ever by from a shop again. DIY is the way to go.

    Just to add further to your post. The taste is also better as you have full control over it and can adjust it to your liking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 445 ✭✭8mm


    Jaysus Irish that's a lot of juice right there! You might want to keep them stored out of the light.

    I'm going down that path myself but not pushed the button yet.

    Who are you using for supplies? Any thoughts on good flavours?

    Yeah, I just had them on the shelf to look at, lol. I now have half them in a cupboard and the other half I stuck in the freezer.

    I recommend Inawera. They have bases with nicotine already pre-mixed for ease of use.


    Flavours I recommend.
    Coconut.
    Pineapple.
    2 Apples.
    Vanilla.
    Blueberry.
    Cheery.
    Banana.
    Karamel.


    If you like tobacco,
    Tobacco. C. (makes a good tobacco base)
    French Pipe. (honey tobacco)
    Gold Ducat. (Very strong, use less than recommended. Dark chocolate tobacco with undertones of coffee.)

    I add 10 drops per 10ml, with the exception of Gold Ducat which I use 6 drops per 10ml.

    Thanks for that Doc Solder!
    I'm glad someone helped put that suggestion to bed.

    On a side note I tried to contact you (put a question on the advert itself) through your adverts for the isolder station, no reply for months! Is your webstore still active then?

    Anyone try the Banana Nut Bread concentrate from here http://www.e-smokeireland.eu/product-p/flavourappren.htm Also,any recommendations for flavours from the same list,I will be using these flavours for lung hits only.

    Bavarian Cream is a must have imo....id put it on my corn flakes at this stage :D

    Hazelnut is another flavour that mixes well with everything...I'll have a look through my collection later and post a few more. (I've 39 concentrates at last count!) and its ages since I last mixed anything :(

    Brilliant,more the merrier as it is only concentrates that I will be getting from esmokeireland this time round,I might be short of some VG base & esmoke is out of it,what a bummer.

    Only been vaping for the last 4 weeks, and last week decided to have a go at making my own. Mixed 30 ml bottles of RY4 and and a separate bottle of something called summerclouds. Delighted how they both turned out, and i'll never go back to buying pre - made. Surprising how easy it was!
