Sorry to hear that. Check out the great guide above from Budzinho for some alternatives :)

what reason did the bastards give for kicking you off btw? I don't use them myself but seems like they have a history of shutting down accounts that interact with LB addresses.

I had to do a questionnaire about my investments which i put the answers i thought would be fine so said i wasnt risking all my money basically and that was it they said i am no longer allowed to trade with coinbase, so im not gong to question it they can fuck right off in my opinion.

I have had a look at that post and the ones he suggested, lupo and bitpanda arent available in the uk at the moment. so fuck knows

Ah yep I just tried to sign up for Luno myself. It's all becoming such a pain in the ass.

The one I've used without problems is Bittylicious - based on what Budzinho said, I doubt it has the best value on fees. But I've never had any problems with them blocking me (always pay by bank rather than card). I heard people using it to pay directly to LB, but I use an Exodus wallet as well...although these days that can add a shitload in fees. Anyway, I just try to make larger purchases now when I can.

Kraken used to be good for fees but it seems like it's always £12 or so just to withdraw from it now.

Ive just got kraken and brought some coin, is it always 72hrs before it become available? not sure im organised enough for that lol. I cant get anywhere with bittylicious i just keep getting an error. im sure i will figure it all out just in time for it all to change again lol

haha yep, it feels like it changes twice a day - between the new UK regulations/questionnaires and all the bitcoin volatility! I was just looking into Luno cos of Budzinho's brand new guide... and they stopped taking UK customers too.

lol the 72hr thing was putting me off for the same reason - but I think (though not tried myself yet so not sure) that it's just for the first transaction, as some security measure.

Not sure what's happening with Bittylicious, it was all pretty straightforward when I did it like 6 months ago, and I was approved within an hour or so. Maybe there's some glitch on the site, which you'd think they'd fix quickly, or maybe try another browser?

i kept getting an error that was obviously to do with how the site is coded as it was an exception error or something like that, it wasnt that i wasnt being allowed, i tried with chrome and brave and it still didnt work. if i can use kraken or something i will probably just stick with that but if that goes tits then i think that will be it for me, ill have to go old school which is gash.

I think you can redo the test, I failed the first time and I think it said something similar but I just redid it and passed and it works ok again.

how did you pass it? i put answers long the line of not investing or risking anything and it still kicked me out, i might have another try but im really disillusioned by it all, thanks for replying

2ml D9 Distillate
0.5 ml DIY Vape Flavouring
0.5ml VJ Mix
3 x CCELL Pro
1 x Syringe & Blunt needle

I make disposables this way. 3 1ml vapes. You can use carts but I like the CCELL pro as it is had a pre heat function and gives a super good draw.

You can find VJ Mix online, it contains the stuff that stops it separating from conventional vape juice, and the flavour is just to get rid of the plastic taste.

People have other methods but this works for me, it tastes good and doesn’t blow your tits off. Perfect for vaping when you are out and about and don’t want to disappear into a vortex.

What's VJ Mix btw...?
I've Googled it & I just got a load of links for music software. Cheers.

Ah sorry dude it's EJ Mix. Fat fingers.

Thanks for your help mate. I've ordered the pre-mixed ones now, so I don't have to mess around & potentially ruin a decent distillate. I've kept a record of this tho, in case I decide to try at some point....👍

Hey dude, I'm a noob here and I'm looking for some pre mixed too. Can you help with which you went for?

The pre-mixed is bang on dude, you'll enjoy it.

Ye if you don;'t enjoy the terpy taste, worth trying out the other mix with some normal vape flavouring.

EJ Mix have a youtube video showing you exactly how to do it too.

Lookin forward to trying it....👍

And I've recently found out that DJ Mix has a youtube video, with a cracking selection of 70's disco classics. 😀

😂😂

😂 On the plus side, I've got loads of contacts for DJs.

Cheers....👍

You can vape it pure if you use good quality carts like ccells but as oldmaned says it is very thick and doesn't taste great so we would recommend mixing with around 5% terpenes. Thats the ratio we use in our carts :)

Not 'around 5%' - 5% MAXIMUM - Any amount higher than 5% can cause the mixture to become carcinogenic depending on what terpenes you use. Various terpenes in higher concentrations are dangerous - and they definitely shouldn't be added to a joint by opening the cart/putting it on paper - super dangerous if you don't know the source of the terpenes.

Great stuff. Hoping to get BTC sorted over the weekend & will be back for some of this. 👍

Distillate can be vaped as it is however it's tricky to use without any diluents due to it being so viscous. It also has a plastic-like taste when vaped in its own which isn't great.

Adding terpenes will thin it out which makes it easier to make up vape carts and they also add flavour. If you get the expensive cannabis-derived terp extracts then they can also add an extra dimension to the high, although they may reduce the stealth factor slightly cos some of them can smell a bit (or so I've been told... 🙄).

I've used PG-based ejuice flavourings before with it before which works fine, so I imagine VG will work too. It does make the resulting mix much less viscous so I've never added more than a few drops per ml of distillate; I use the CCell style carts which are designed for distillates and seem to burn out really quickly if the mix is diluted too much. VG is much thicker than PG though so may not be as much of an issue.

I reckon you could add more PG/VG and have a lower strength juice which is much more fluid and could be used in standard vape tanks. Just make sure it's mixed properly and it should be fine.

Thanks for all that. Never thought of adding terpenes, so that's something to consider.

I'm thinking of some carts strong for at home & some weaker for outdoors.

It'll be fun experimenting anyway....👍

Hello mate, VG does not mix with distillate the same way that PG does. You cannot add VG to PG when distillate has been mixed with it, it will pool on the top.

Also, using terps can be dangerous if you use too much, that's why any good manufacturer/distributor will advise a maximum of 5% terps - this is because various terps used in higher concentrations can be carcinogenic (cancer causing) especially 'natural' terps, aka botanical terps/plant derived.

Get some shatter/badder/diamonds and dump it in a cartridge.
You will be where you want to be before you know it.

You need to decarb/winterize extracts before they'll go in a cart, except for good quality shatter. To make our carts we have to vacuum seal our extract so no terps escape, then we decarb for 2h.

It gets me high.
I’m happy.
They go in just fine.

Anything that can penetrate my other meds is doing fine-believe me.

And your coil doesn't burn out half way down a 0.5ml cart...? Very surprising.

😂 Steady on mate, that combination would send me to Saturn. I think I'll stay on Earth (just about) with the vapes themselves.

Mind you, this is great stuff. The full strength ones are perfect for gettin baked & the half strength mixes I've done, are brill for outdoors etc.

Excellent value....👍

I made up 5 carts with this vendors D9.
Bought carts on Amazon Prime.
You will deffo need to source a blunt needle to fill them.
I used a hair straighener to heat the syringe, then filled up cart as neat as possible, then heated cart a little to get distillate to sink, then topped up.
Taste wise, its a bit synthetic and metallic by itself, but rips your loaf off!
Best used with a battery that has a preheat setting, first few toots are a bit weak, but once things get warmed up a little, its sooper!
Go easy to start, as its a creeper!

Cheers for that. All this information is really helpful. 👍
