    So what is your favourite juice ?

    Do you know how to make it on your own ?

    How much juice do you use in a week/month.?

    Same question for cartomiser and atomiser's.

    Would a cartomiser last longer in a tank and how much longer if it does?

    And finally! how much would it cost to make 3 months supply of e juice and cartomiser's. Thank you :D :cool:

    Swedish Fish.
    Do you know how to make it on your own ?
    In the drop-down menu.
    How much juice do you use in a week/month.?
    Week: 14-21mls/Month: 60-90mls. Or thereabouts - depends on whether there are drinking sessions or not.
    Same question for cartomiser and atomiser's.
    6-8 cartos a month. I have a lot of sweet, sugary juices, and it usually only takes 2-3 days before the flavour starts becoming more sugared-tasting.
    I'll still get the value out of the carto, though if I were a "normal" fag-smoker before, instead of rollies, and used to paying ridiculous prices, I'd probably switch cartos every two days.
    What a cheapskate!
    Would a cartomiser last longer in a tank and how much longer if it does?
    It does. If I'm vaping a 2Ω carto @ 3.3V, I get an extra two days, but since I'm pretty much caning a 3Ω @ 4.8-5.5V, the gap has lessened. An extra day, pushing it.
    More watts=more burnt sugary taste. The most sugary (or Stevia-enhanced, whichever) liquids can only go up to 5.0V before I can taste flavour-burn.
    And finally! how much would it cost to make 3 months supply of e juice and cartomiser's. Thank you :D :cool:
    If I was constantly using and buying that concentrate as an all-day, it'd cost between (best/worst-case scenario):
    Cartos: €25.02-€33.36
    Nic: €7.02-€10.53
    Base: €4.50-€6.75
    Flavouring: €17.21-€25.81
    Total: €53.75-€76.45
    I bought a lot of second-hand goodies and took advantage of an amazing sale though, and prefer slutting around with lots of other flavours and combos, so my flavouring costs go down to between €2.50-€8.10 over three months, depending on flavour-percentage.
    Real total: €39.04-€58.74

    You can, and it's in the drop-down there. Just counted, 58th down, between Virginia Black and Vanilla Butternut.
    It tastes like a Refresher bar, all fizzy and shiiiieeeeeet, and apparently that tastes like the gummy sweets the juice is based on.
    Never had the chance to try them.
    One thing though, is your palate gets used to/bored of the vast majority of flavours if you consistently vape one flavour, so it's best to mix it up.
    I vaped pineapple non-stop for a week or two and I kind of couldn't smell or taste pineapple (even real ones) properly for a few weeks after.
    Fresh pineapple felt like chewing on a sweet, fibred rubber.
    Guava's quite nice, and boysenberry, and those mixed together with some milk chocolate... Mmmmmmm... Milkenboysguavalateberry.

    Haha thanks! yeah i suppose if u make 3 different e juice's at home and switch it up every couple of days it would be fine.i mixed coffee and caramel ejuice and it didnt turn out how i expected xD.Haha pineapple story is brilliant!
    "Milkenboysguavalateberry" haha sounds like a german transvestite's pornstar's name!next on the list swedish fish,guave and boysenberry flavouring with some nic and pg/vg what percentage ratio do you use if u make it at home ?:P

    It depends on the flavouring.
    I used to mix 12mg juices, PG/VG @ 80/20, then 70/30, with little difference in flavour or throathit (extra vapour on the 70/30 though), but once I moved to 60/40, flavour was muted and throathit died (but vapour was just where I wanted it), so I upped the flavouring percentages from 10-20%, to 15-30% (only a rare few American flavours have had to go up to 30%), and the nic from 12mg to 18mg.
    Best of every world for me, and it makes your voice sound funny, so I keep vaping and sampling audio of myself. Gives a creepy distorted voice.

    E-cigs should be marketed as vocoders!

    So what is your favourite juice ?
    I have a few too many at the moment, but it's all good, like chopping and changing between flavours so i don't getbored of them

    Do you know how to make it on your own ?
    I haven't ventured in to DIY'ing my own juices yet, so still using store bought juices

    How much juice do you use in a week/month.?
    I go through maybe 3-5ml per day, so that's 21-35ml per week so that's 84-140ml a month, a little bit more than most people, but i did smoke 60 cigarettes a day, and i use my PV more than i ever smoked, and i'm only using 11mg juice.

    Same question for cartomiser and atomiser's.
    I'm usually getting about a week out of a carto, sometimes i could forget the tank is running dry and get a bit of a burning taste, but the Boges i'm using are so cheap i just toss it and throw in a new one.

    Would a cartomiser last longer in a tank and how much longer if it does?
    Yeah, i think they so seem to last a bit longer in a tank, they are constantly saturated, which is better for the carto, so you'll get a bit longer out of them, but if your using overly sweet juices, they'll clog up a bit faster

    And finally! how much would it cost to make 3 months supply of e juice and cartomiser's. Thank you

    How much it'd cost you a month would vary, are you going to be using the 15euro for 50ml bottles of dekang, or you going to be using some of the more expensive custom mixed US style juices, Bobas Bounty, Gorilla Juice, Namber and so on.

    You aren't at all.

    Don't search for Swedish Fish in the search bar, or click on the side-link for Swedish Fish, as these'll just redirect you to the pre-made liquid.

    You've got to be on this page, with this address, and choose it from the drop-down for the concentrate:
    http://alba-vapours.co.uk/ultra-strength-water-soluble-flavouring
    swefi.jpg

    I mix it at 20%, but that's with 60/40 PG/VG. Use less if you plan on using less VG.

    Yeah i know i found that :P ok say if i went into diy/liquids and chose that as flavouring and then choose the vg mixing liquid and the pg liquid.Then there's 2 different bottles of nicotine one is pg and the other vg do i buy both or one ?

    Sorry, I knew there was something I wasn't getting.

    I'd just buy one.
    Buy PG base, VG base, and I prefer the nic in PG (@50mg), just because my mixes slant toward PG.
    Empty bottles, pipettes or (preferably) non-hypodermic syringe, and download the e-juice app for your phone, or eJuice Me Up for your PC, and you're sorted.

    And be careful with the nicotine! No drinking it just to test fate!
