Hi everyone not posted here for a while & don't think I have at all with this NN.
Is @Poultergoose still about ?

Anyhoo,had a bit of crappy time & started smoking again ,but I'm slowly managing to get back to vaping .

The new laws have made it difficult getting the strength I need & it's so expensive to buy 10ml bottles Sad

I've been looking online & am going to try ordering a higher strength from an American site ,have any of you done this successfully?

Not vape liquid but I buy melatonin (in liquid form) from the US to help my dad sleep. No problems. Sometimes I have to pay a customs charge but it's only ever £10 ish.

I assume you’re after 24mg?

I’ve never ordered liquid from outside the UK but I do order hardware. I’ve hit by customs once but I was lucky that they let the goods through as it was a larger than 2ml tank.

You can still get 72mg nicotine but even using that you can’t top up a shortfill to make higher strength liquid without diluting flavour too much.

Have you tried nicotine salt liquids? They are supposed to deliver nicotine more effectively. I’ve not tried them but it may be worth a go.

Oh hi. I haven't seen a Vaping Viper thread in Active for ages. I was Ledare. Many a happy liquid swap back in the day 🙂

I've tried to order my discontinued innokin 16 b/c clearos from the U.S but they wouldn't. Probably a TPD issue as they are 3ml.

Have you given Onepoundeliquid a go? I buy loads at a time and it works out very cheap but the 10ml thing is frustrating!

Will this change after Brexit I wonder?

Njordsgrrrl · 25/01/2019 10:28

X post with Jinns. Sorry, I misread, it's the strength you're after. No additional advice I'm afraid but I'd try that too.

It's salts I'm after @Jin,I've found mad hatter in 30mg 30ml bottle for about the same price as a 10ml bottle here!
I find the salts good ,I bought a little pod system specifically for them & use my mesh pro with a nice flavour in between.
I've gone from 20 a day again to either 1 or none doing this .

@SerialChangerOfName I bought hardware before with no issues but it was before all this nonsense came in.
I don't mind paying a bit this end if need be but I will be gutted if it's seized .

I can’t see things changing after brexit even though the UK is rather more enlightened about vaping than other places.

I think there’s always a risk that your goods won’t come through customs but low value orders seem to get through without too much interest.

I make my own liquid now because of the difficulty I had getting higher strength when I started out. It’s not difficult at all and you can definitely get 72mg salts.

@Njordsgrrrl ,I remember your ladare name !

I did try £1 eliquid way back ,then I found a few I was happy with & plodded on well ,managed to drop liquid strengths too!

When I started smoking again ,I tried for months but wasn't getting anywhere trying to quit on these lower strengths .
I had a fag in one hand with my vape in my other Blush
That's until I went back to 20mg & my old nautilus for a bit .

I also have been wondering if the laws will change back ,they are ridiculous & I can't get my head around making my own .
I even managed to cock up Drip hacks make & shake !

It's 22Euro @Jins so I will give it a go & keep fingers crossed.
That's if they let me get through check out !

Ah maybe DIY isn’t for you Grin

What strength do you vape in your freemax pro? I got through a difficult patch during a festival by using much higher than recommended strength in my subohm tank.

Njordsgrrrl · 25/01/2019 10:50

Ah, thanks for clarification and for remembering me! I keep meaning to start a thread about my 16bs to see if anyone would sell any they might have knocking about in a drawer. I'm adding this to favourites in case I can be of any use to someone else. Hope you find a decent solution 🙂

I buy all my vape liquids from a stall in my local market, all shortfills with Nic shots, if I buy a large amount he generally knocks me something off
