I always thought tea had 1/6th the amount of caffeine that coffee does

I think tea does have more caffiene, but unless you swallow the teabag drinking a cup of tea is only about a third of the caffiene from drinking a cup of coffee.

funny story: I accidentally bought some Extra strong tea bags. Had a cup in th evening and couldnt sleep for hours on end. Thought it was a one off, and did the same thing the next day. Couldnt sleep. Then i looked at the pack in the cupboard and realised it was extra strong.

Not that funny but meh.

I drink PG, it does the job

Oh, why is that if you use a cup/mug that's bigger than the standard regulated sized tea drinking mug, it just doesn't taste right?

I usually get around this by making two cups.

So when I have three tea bags in a cup I may as well be having coffee really

Time to start drinking really weak tea then

That's nothing but a myth - unless the coffee is decaff of course.
