Grin That sounds a really bad idea Katie!

I'm not sure I could be bothered with all that steeping business. If it's hangsen, it's steeped all the way from china and is probably as good as it's going to get. If it's something that's mixed to order, like joose juice, I'll try not to vape it for a bit. I have heard of people fixing the bottles into the wheel rims of their cars and going for a long drive.

If you're agile you could hold it between your toes

"How was it for you babe?"
"Smokin..... with a nice blend of coconut and caramel "

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 17/02/2014 20:03

That's brilliant Allergic well done! Flowers

DH is still on two fags a day. How did you kick those last ones?

Cadbury's Caramel is actual chocolate and not a vape, isn't it?

I seem to have settled down to RY4/RY6 mixed during the day and then either gingerbread or coffee in the evening.

Ledaire · 17/02/2014 20:04

I have saved an obscene amount of money even with the hardware (four batteries, two chargers and lots of clearos)

Throat isn't bad, Allergic - thanks for asking, but I'm finding it impossible to rest my voice. I only realised today that I told the consultant post-op that, "I'm not really a screamer" and wondered why he smirked at that Hmm

It's true though. Former teacher mother of a teen and autistic child. If I was prone to shouting I'd have lost my voice long before now!

WELL DONE on your full week! Enjoy the chocolate Smile

I've got to see again in a few weeks Blush

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 17/02/2014 20:15

Ledaire you should treat yourself to an ultrasonic cleaner. Apparently you can steep liquids in under a day.

Ledaire · 17/02/2014 20:30

Funny you should say that. I have been trying to persuade DH that every house needs one. Or a rotating polisher or an electrical orbital sander.

Allergictoironing · 17/02/2014 20:56

Yes Cadbury's Caramel IS the chocolate - though it would be nice if you could get a juice that tasted like that.

Plenty I lost those last 2 by sort of distracting myself at the times I would smoke them. Normally the "first thing" fag would be as soon as I got out of the shower while making the first cuppa of the day, and the "last thing" fag was taken when I took my pills at night just before bed time. What I did was to very slightly change my routine e.g. in the morning make the tea THEN get in the shower, and in the evening started taking the pills about an hour earlier.

Having vaped while making the tea in the mornings I wasn't quite at the desperate "need nicotine NOOWWW!" state I would be in when I woke up. Taking the pills a bit earlier in the evening meant that I could tell myself that I couldn't have that last fag so early, and broke the association of "pills at night = smoke a fag" in my mind.

So it was a case of playing mind tricks on myself. And after managing 2 days by playing these tricks making sure there were NO cigarettes in the house by giving the remainder of the pack away; I knew by then that I could survive without them even if bits of me still wanted one now & again. But you do have to make sure there really aren't any cigarettes at all in the house - I remember a friend who tried to give up years ago diving down her kitchen rubbish bin to retrieve the fags she'd thrown in there after snapping them in 2 Shock.

Allergictoironing · 17/02/2014 21:03

Oh and I'm the opposite to you - my pineapple during the day & favourite tobacco flavour last thing at night/first thing in the morning. I think vaping the tobacco rather than another flavour at the "last 2 cigarettes" times helped a bit too?

MistressDeeCee · 18/02/2014 01:48

Thanks for link to new thread Plenty :)

Cantabile · 18/02/2014 12:59

Ledaire' that was quick! The pineapple arrived just now. I like it. Thank you so much - and for the clearo! I think it will be my day time vape and the gingerbread my evening vape. Thanks

Allergic, well done! I am approaching that stage slowly but surely.

Katie, you are very funny Grin

I vape in the bath. I could spend 3 or 4 hours in the bath if anyone let me. I have a book, a cuppa, and my ecig.... When I was younger and single, I used to sometimes spend almost a whole day in the bath Blush. I remember once (but probably did it more often) getting out, cooking fried eggs and taking the plateful back into the bath. Oh boy, I've just made myself a complete pariah.

KatieScarlett2833 · 18/02/2014 16:04

My friend appeared at work today with her brand new vape kit.
She's already blending her own mixes to create the perfect minty combo.
I really want to get her on here but am afraid of the outage as usually I am respectable in RL (well, in public anyway).
Had fun discussing the merits of batteries, clearoes and mixes. An excellent day Grin

Ledaire · 18/02/2014 16:34

Shock that it arrived so quickly! Glad you like it.

I have toffee, which is a winner and goes well with the other flavours I like. I'm after a caramel and maple syrup next. Going to concoct a toffee-apple liquid later.

Katie that sounds brilliant Smile

Jux · 19/02/2014 09:56

There's a site somewhere where you can post recipes for mixing juices - ie flavours - I think it's on The Alchemists Cupboard? Toffee apple sounds awesome! Hope it goes well.

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 19/02/2014 13:12

bwahahaha Grin

Allergictoironing · 19/02/2014 13:49

Cool link Plenty!

Ledaire · 19/02/2014 14:37

Plenty Grin I love The Mash and that is hilarious!

I don't think I could post recipes as I pay no attention to quantities but the toffee / apple did work very well. I am vaping a chocolate toffee apple now.

crispycronut · 19/02/2014 15:45

Has anyone ordered E liquid from Bargain Vapour over in Ireland?

I've just ordered 200ml of the Hangsen RY4 for approx 30.00 inc del and now i'm panicking!

I always use Totally wicked but its so pricey i decided to risk a change but wish i'd checked on here first.

QueenStromba · 19/02/2014 15:47

I bought a litre of high strength nicotine from them - no problems.

MsIngaFewmarbles · 19/02/2014 15:53

OK so I went to my local store and bought this starter kit with cool mint and cherry menthol liquids.

I tried loads of their flavours but found quite a lot of them to be very artificial tasting IYSWIM. Obviously they are all artificial flavours but some of them are dreadful. I was very tempted by the rhubarb and custard, maybe next time :)

crispycronut · 19/02/2014 15:55

Thanks Queen

A litre? Shock

I've got in such a rut ordering the same thing from TW, i'm too scared to change in case i'm ripped off!

I blame my age Blush

KatieScarlett2833 · 19/02/2014 15:59

It was you who ordered the lifetime supply Queen? Grin
Ever since I read that post I've imagined you, The King and the Princelings sitting around the kitchen, surrounded by vats of vape liquid, making Hmm face...
(I have a vivid imagination but no memory of UN whatsoever )
