    well holy god.
    this is it. this is the flavour i was waiting for. definite tobacco vibe from this, but with kind of an.. earthy? backtaste. maybe more of a straw/hay/grass vibe. I could see myself vaping this quite a bit. still going to leave it to steep like the others but just after mixing... very impressed. will be ordering more.

    yeah... definitely earthy. maybe a bit much for an all day vape, but definitely a fill a carto and vape happily deal.

    .

    Ordered some of this earlier, sounds like a strong tasting flavour which i like.

    just be sure and open every window in the house when you're vaping
    im not joking about how much this stuff smells, although I guess maybe 10 drops was a tad much

    also my liberty flightsd order shipped.. looking forward to trying some decedant vapours flavouring, and some god damn lychee
    if it's as delicious as the dekang version i'm going to use up every ml of pg base I have to make as much lychee juice as I can

    Keen to try that Lychee stuff, saw a few posts of yours going on about it.

    i did some googling for the particular flavour of it im getting, the flavourart one. saw a few people saying it's incredibly close to the real thing. so see if you can find some lychee fruit or juice in a local asian shop :)

    The Flavourart you will have to steep for a while to get best results, longer the better.

    Will keep an eye out for that so.

    i just had a look in the drawer im keeping my capped steeping juices in and realised I have no idea which juice is which.
    vaping one now, and it's nice.. but i wouldn't put 10 cent on my ability to guess properly which flavouring I put in it

    --edit
    actually it's *really* nice

    Been there done that, did'nt know what i was vaping at times having so many around :D

    Got into the habit of putting labels on them as i had various strengths, ratios and flavours obviously.

    aye i meant to get labels during the week but kept putting it off

    next batch will be properly labelled :) just about empty on all my tobacco juices bar 1 so i should have a load of 30ml bottles to do up mixes in

    for some reason i'm thinking a tobacco/coconut mix would work well together

    Put in an order for inawera there earlier, looking forward to trying out my own stuff.

    I'm planning to make up a 200ml batch of menthol, but that would probably be 4-6 months, is there any problem leaving it sit around that long?

    Just made up 5ml of PG mix.
    The base mix is clear and the Menthol is also clear = final mix is clear!
    Any reason for that? considering my usual, bought juice is always a honey colour!!

    some juices can change colour with steeping afaik

    chick shows a few of the same type of juice at different levels of steeping here, definite changes of colour

    ok, i figured out what those random juices were

    one of them is the gold ducat
    so a couple of days steeping now.. thought I'd go mental and filled up a boge 3ohm 70/30 pg/vg 12mg

    granted this is the stupid mix I did where I have no idea how many drops per ml is in here, but what I can say is this is ****ing delicious

    I remember not being terribly happy with this when I first mixed it, and the day after the first uncapped steep but now after iirc 2 days in a dark drawer.. my god. delicious.
    if you've vaped dekang cuba cigar it's kinda.. kinda like that. same kind of general flavour, deep.. heavy, slightly earthy.
    there may be a tiny bit of morning rain in this mix, im not sure. will definitely improve more with more steeping I imagine, but i'm going to be hard pressed not to take this out of the drawer every time I want to top up the carto.

    Had a feeling you would like the Gold Ducat.
    I vape that a lot of the time but like anything i switch over to another juice when it gets too much.
    You would like the Tobacco C as well i reckon, milder but nice alternative to the Gold Ducat.

    I really really love my menthol :) I'm pretty happy so far mainly using menthol and then trying other stuff out every now and then, but so far nothing else has come close. You might have a bit of a point though, I might just do 100ml first. I'm thinking of mixing it up with other stuff as well, i.e. make a big batch, then taking 10ml bits of it every now and then and adding something else, so I'll get through 100ml easy enough.

    well for your first go, do a 5 or 10ml batch as a test run so you get an idea for how many drops to put in
    leave it to steep for a week or two, then you'll know roughly how much to put in for your 1/200ml mix


    derra .. I might pick up some tobacco c in my next order. i only have 40-50ml of 36mg left, and while that's still around 150ml of 12mg with the amount of testers im planning on doing up over the next few weeks it's not gona last terribly long. plus my 0mg is gona last ages now that i'm using more 0mg vg than I am 0mg pg in my mixes. all things considered, i probably have enough to last me 4-5 months now.. but I just want to have a large quantity of stuff for insta mixing should the mood strike me.

    glad i have these posts too so i'll be able to find out exactly how long this 30 odd ml of gold ducat lasted me. for some reason even though I love it, i'm vaping it less than I would other stuff.. while being just as satisfied. will probably end up saving in terms of electricity bills too cos of less need to recharge lavatube batteries so often :)

    Decided to give this a shot and ordered 100ml of 12mg and 6mg pg/vg base and the following flavours:-

    Ducat
    American Type
    Coffee Paradise
    Whisky
    Pineapple

    Will get it next week sometime I guess.
    BTW Skidka gets 10% off pre-shipping total.

    Anybody tried the alcohol flavours like whisky?

    coffee paradise and pineapple are ****ing *delicious*

    pineapple was the first one I did, and im pretty sure I did it wrong many months ago but even then.. it was a lovely vape, same for the coffee paradiso. ive gone off coffee vapes, but just smelling the tiny bit of flavour I have left is lovely

    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.

    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?

    Posted here before;
    http://www.cig-eliquid.co.uk/

    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...

    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?

    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.

    125 ml nicvape 75mg= 27:50

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.
