Thanks for the suggestions, but they have the stumbling block I've found in that getting 100% VG isn't as easy as it looks! I can't take the throat hit of even 50/50 without having to take a drink after every inhale of the stuff.

I got the strongest (36mg) juice, but there's just not enough flavour for my liking.

Flavour is not linked to the level of nicotine in your juice. 36mg is huge and is going to hit you big time regardless of what juice you are vaping.

Perhaps drop the nicotine level and try something new.
I currently vape 6mg of juice and the flavour is fine. This link sells 60vg/40pg mixes with tons of flavour

Definitely drop the nic level, 36mg is very high and I would imagine incredibly harsh if the difference between 18mg and 24mg is anything to go by.

I started on 24mg having been a 20 a day smoker and now fluctuate between 12 and 18 dependent on flavour.

[Tonsko]

Heh. I'd dropped to 6mg,and had a go on someone's 36mg juice in the pub. Nearly fell off my chair! 2 mins later and I was still high as fupp!

Also - don't understand not being able to take the throat hit. Cigs are loads more harsh.

[SWoll]

It's a different kind of harshness though IME.

Also, if you look into it one of the components of cigarette smoke works as a mild anaesthetic to help sooth the process...

With regards to 100VG it's worth emailing some of the suppliers, I've found that if you don't want a specific ratio that they offer on their site then most will be happy to make you a batch up on request.

For example I know that http://norsemanvapoursupplies.bigcartel.com/produc... is mixed at 60/40 but if you want it higher VG you just need to put it in the comments when ordering and they will make it up for you.

Is it ok to mix 2 different e-liquids? I have a couple that I feel would go well together.

Yep no problem. Topped up with the wrong juice once and had a very nice apple tobacco flavour.

I'm currently on a Marlborough Lights / Frutti Di Bosco mix and before that it was Marlborough Lights / Vanilla

Ok gents, having now spent some cash on decent gear and a limited choice of juice, I'm still on the cigarettes despite vaping pretty much all the time!! Having had a think earlier whilst having a smoke outside, what I'd like to try and find is a smooth yet strong flavour. I've tried the blackcurrant menthol and the vanilla menthol at 50/50 and 100% VG, and prefer the 100% VG as there's little to no throat hit. I got the strongest (36mg) juice, but there's just not enough flavour for my liking. I also got the banana nut loaf (all from paradise vape), but still not strong enough.

So, can somebody suggest a non menthol flavour(s) that's still quite strong and can actually be tasted rather just a wiff of aroma to accompany the lungful of steam? I appreciate I may be asking the impossible, but it's worth a try and I would quite like to give up the fags altogether!

I've not tired it myself but what I have heard suggests that this is a pretty powerful juice. http://www.t-juice.com/shop/red-astaire/

This is a lovely Juice - I buy mine from http://www.smokshop.com/collections/tjuice and always next day delivery - code ELIQ10 at checkout for 10% off - the T-Juice is so consistent on them all - I have tried most of them! But Red Astaire has a lovely deep flavour - I buy 30ml at a time...

Using an Aerotank and Kamry X6 battery on 4.2V - On this, no one mentions these batteries, they are great value and mate to the bigger tank perfectly - only a 510 fitting though, no ego...

[VEA]

For those interested in slightly more advanced stuff. I've managed to get myself on the list for the first run of these produced by a member on UKv.

I have an eGo-T battery but the tank leaks like a bugger, any recommendations for a replacement?

My other one is an eGo-Y larger battery, the tank has never worked. Need something long lasting, can't find anything on-line that fits. Help.

[Cotty]

How about the Aspire k1. it wouldn't look out of place on an ego battery.

Drop the nic level to 24 or even 18.

36 and I'd be climbing the walls!! I had a 36 ice mint juice before and I felt high as a kite!!

I'm not a fan of pg either tbh, much prefer 80/20 or 70/30 vg/pg. 100% vg I find I don't get as much flavour though...but tons of vapour!! Also noticed I get nicer flavour with lower nic base.

Red Astaire is one of my faves, great flavour

No worries, I'll give some of the suggestions a bash and report back my findings! Oddly, even with the 36mg level I didn't really notice much difference, no lightheaded ness or rush

[Tonsko]

So, my nemesis battery mod is a bit annoying - there's a little metal pin that locks into the brass ring - but it's constantly falling out.

Is there anything wrong with gluing it in place the to the base (not the brass thing).

[Cotty]

Mine does the same, constantly trying to unscrew itself. Never fallen out as the more it unscrews the more difficult it is to press the button. I just unscrew the base and retighten it.

Vapemunki Barbed Custard
http://www.vapemunki.co.uk/Barbed_Custard/p2268684...

How are you finding that. I tried it when I first got a bottle, wasn't greatly impressed not much flavour, no rubarb more custardy. Left/forgot about it for a few weeks so tons of time to steep tried again, not great, it tastes more like a biscuit with a little vanilla. Im just using up the bottle.

I have a pear flavour from another supplier and its ok but you get a bit of a chedar flavour on the exhale. Its not unpleasant but not something I would order again. So yeah not great vaping at the moment, although I have three new juices to try.

To be honest im not looking forward to Boggarts Breath, it was a freeby. Appears to be treacle with fruity tones "in a very unusual way".

I found all the vapemunki flavours pretty muddy tbh. Liberro purity is my favourite so far.

Pretty nice mate, was far too sweet at first, let it steep a week and its much better. Also bought bazilla custard, gurner & glacial cherries. Custards ok but no where near as nice as Gremlin or Digbys, gurner was nice, cherries was WAAAY too strong! I've binned most the bottle. I like cherry & menthol juices but this was too much...

Just stared mixing my own so will see how that goes after a couple weeks steep got grants vanilla custard clone, cherry menthol, cherry anise and cherry cola brewing!

Also almost burnt the house down this week when my GP Paps mod auto fired for 15 mins sat on the table! Fire button must have just slightly connected with the battery and the thing heated right up! Was red hot and close to exploding! Missis went a bit loopy

I think its a bit hit and miss, one flavour to one person is great, to another person not so great. I like The Gurner and probably vaped 100ml by now. I didn't like Hobbits Choice but some loved it.

I have Chilled Munki Slime and Sky Wizard to try.

[Tonsko]

I should qualify that with 'all the flavours that I have tried' which are:

Black Betty
Barbed Custard
3XT
Bazilla Custard
Blue Baboon
Vanity Flair

The only one that stood out was the citrus-y one (3XT) and that was unpleasantly harsh, I felt.
